Waist: 38"
10 push-ups, 20 sit-ups, 10 lunges (x2), 10 bicep curls (x2, 8lb), 10 wall-sits
Since the last update, I've added lunges and weights to the morning routine, which seems to be working pretty well. Sometimes I skip a morning or do an abbreviated workout, but I've done my best to stay pretty consistent.
The food tracking wasn't working all that well, largely because I have a lot of small snacks during the day, and it was difficult to keep up with everything. I have refrained from buying sliced bread in order to eliminate the temptation (and the tendency) to eat sandwiches for every meal, and I'm trying to do better about cooking actual meals and storing left-overs. I've also cut cereal and granola out of my breakfast roster and opted for hard-boiled eggs, fruit and yogurt, and apples and peanut butter (at different times, not all together), and I've been bringing a light protein shake to drink throughout the day to cut down on that snacking.
So far, not a lot of change, but slow and steady is the name of the game, here. Excelsior!
In non-body-related news, the zombie fic proceeds apace, and I'm completely in love with it. In the tradition of contemporary zombie stories, it swings between hilarious, horrifying, and heart-wrenching. I keep freaking myself out while writing it, which I'm taking as a good sign. Also, have I mentioned my Clint feels? I have a lot of them, and they are all getting poured out in this fic. And some Kate feels. Yes, that's right, Kate's here, too, along with a few other young heroes. Because it's so much more satisfying to drop in cameos than to come up with a bunch of random OCs.
Oh yeah, and did you know that
COULSON LIVES? Because, it's official:
COULSON LIVES, Marvel said so, and I've been flipping my shit and sobbing with joy since Saturday night.
If you think that's an exaggeration, clearly you don't know me very well.
Today is new comic book day, possibly with an evening of geo-caching. I am excite!
