Breakfast: Bowl of cornflakes and a green apple
Pre-lunch: Mocha frap (it was sooo hot during my shoot that I had to grab something icy >.<)
Lunch: Fish & chips and an ice lemon tea
Pre-run: A green apple and a cup of white coffee
Dinner: Ginger fish filet, fried egg, spinach with a bowl of rice

So, I pulled my left deltoid muscle sometime last week. The muscle was already injured previously from doing the assisted muscle up but it got worse when I was monkeying around on the bars at the park.

I can’t do dips without feeling the pain, pushing exercise are out as the sharp pain increases whenever I put weights on it. Which means, a lot of upper body workout is off limits for me until the muscle heals :(

And yes, I am absolutely devastated! BUT, I’m being positive and thinking to myself that this would be a good time to start training for the upcoming StanChart run. I won’t be doing the half nor the full marathon. I’m only running 10km but this time, I wanna try doing it without feeling like I’m gonna die halfway through.

So, I’m gonna replace my workout sessions with jogging sessions before StanChart and get back into Crossfit after the run. Fingers crossed by then my shoulder would’ve healed fully.

Jogged 1 upper loop (clockwise), 1 lower loop (anti-clockwise) approximately 3km: 22 mins *shy*
100 sit ups: 3:45mins
20 chin ups (OMG! I have like gazillions of chin ups to do to replace what I’ve missed so far in the chin up challenge. So hai lat!)

Brunch: Chicken rice and white coffee
Tea: A packet of biscuits and white coffee
Dinner: Soup noodles
Post-dinner: Cornflakes and a pint :p

As a result of not working out regularly the past week and also because of the mountain of editing I’ve got, I’m not as driven as I used to be when it comes to working out. But I read somewhere that to make something regular, you just have to force yourself and make it habitual so that it becomes second nature. And so, I moved myself away from my monitor and squeezed in a quick workout at Pushmore before dinner and did the following workouts;
Lower Body
800m run
150 Squats
800m run
Result: 15:53
While I was jogging quite fast during the first 800metre, I was dawdling through the second 800m as my legs felt like jelly after the squats. Killer!

Abs
100 Sit Ups
60″ Plank
Result: 5:56
Whoa! I couldn’t do the plank for a straight 60secs after doin’ 100 sit ups. My abs were wrecked! Absolutely awesome ;p

Yes, I haven’t been working out for quite a bit.

Was struck by food poisoning last Sunday (May 3) and took me four full days to fully recuperate from that ordeal. It was soooo bad that I spent two hours puking (yes, it was puking and not only diarrhea -_-”) into the toilet bowl. Puking till there was nothing left to puke. Puking till it was only yellow bile. Urgh.

And the ironic thing is, this was all caused by a drink called ‘Death by Ice Chocolate’ from Delicious -_-”. Bah!

Anyway, that’s over and done with. I managed to go for a short run at the park last Thursday and squeezed in a workout at Pushmore on Friday evening before my weekend of work. Wheeee~

3km jog (2 upper loops and 1 lower loop) took approximately 20 mins.

Didn’t do the WOD as my shoulder was still a bit sore. Instead Edmund came up with the below workout for me,
3 rounds for time
30 Overhead Squats (PVC Pipe)
30 Knees To Elbows
40m Farmers Walk (16kg)
Result: 18:23
I think it must’ve been cause I haven’t been working out for the whole week but this workout wiped me out. My heart was palpitating and I couldn’t do the full range for knees to elbows (it was more like knees to pits :p). The only easy part of this workout for me was farmers walk and boy! Did my traps feel it the day after or what!
