God that's an awful joke, but I just had to do it.
Tonight was my first HIIT session, which stands for High Intensity Interval training, for those of you not "in the know." (It's ok, I wasn't "in the know" until a month ago.)
Basically, you work your ass off for 30 seconds, rest, repeat for 20-30 minutes. I ran/walked. My ass was thoroughly kicked (SWEAT DOWN MY BACK).
Here's a really good article that explains it better than I can: Aw yeah, HIIT
What you're "supposed" to do is jog, sprint, repeat. But I'm fat, guys. Fat and I haven't been to the gym in like three weeks or more. Fat and I haven't ruined myself cardiovascularly like that since the last time my ass tried to run. But it's over, it was good, and I'm going to do it again on Thursday (then Sunday, then Tuesday, repeat, etc...).
Last weekend I hit another milestone, 20 lbs down. This is from early January, so it took me about 2 months to do it. It sounds totally awesome, but I have to repeat it another four times at least, so that's going to be fun. Also, none of my pants fit right anymore, so there's that. I've started HIIT mostly because the loss has slowwwwwed. Is it maybe due to my love of almond meal used in baking applications? Yeah. So I stopped that, and thought "maybe I should move my ass in preparation for that Color Run thing I'm doing...yeahhhh..."
Because PS I signed up for a Color Run in May. It'll be my first race ever, my first 5k, and a big step out of my comfort zone. (My comfort zone is usually watching The People's Court with my dog pressed against me.)
Anyway, that's as much of an update as I'm capable of right now. Still kicking ass in school, loving clinicals because I'm weird, etc...
Goodnight, faithful viewer(s)
