W/BF% : 218.0 / 21.0

Woke up and felt pretty awesome this morning, and got to the gym in good time.  I did a quick cardio workout:

    Elliptical – 20 min.

         5 min warm-up / 5 x 1 min hard/2 min easy

In the coming weeks, I’ll look to mix up the cardio (or metabolic systems work, whatever you care to call it) and incorporate lifting heavy stuff, complexes, a few of the more metabolically-targeted Crossfit workouts, and some sprinting.  I think each of those options would be more effective than my workout this morning, but right now the most important thing is establishing consistency.  Given the incipient DOMS I’ve got going on in my legs this evening (gee thanks, front squats), I’d say that easing into a more frequent workout routine is a good idea.

Diet-wise, I did reasonably well today. Ended up going out for lunch with some folks from work today, but mitigated the damage somewhat had a salad with grilled chicken (also had the garlic roll it was paired with (strange, that), which was less virtuous, but hey).  Good-sized protein shake with flaxseed for breakfast, Italian sausages with marinara sauce and summer roasted vegetables for dinner.
