Legs are tired!

My legs want to stay in bed this morning! They are tight and sore from the squats on Thursday and the the double unders and jumping pull-up's yesterday. Yesterday's workout was a fun one that I got pretty good...

5 rounds
40 ab mat sit-ups
30 double unders
20 pull up's
Times were: 4:21 kip, 5:04 kip, 3:33 10 kip, 10 jump, 2:37 jump, 2:40 jump
* When doing just jumping compared to kipping the workout totally changes. My heart rate remained high going from double-unders to jumping pull-up's and my legs fatigued. When doing kipping I felt like it was more of grip/wrist strength and arms from double-unders that were tired. Interesting. Something to consider when programming a workout.

I was never the first one to finish the sit-ups (usually behind by 5 - 7) but was able to get the 30 double-unders in and be the first at the pull-up bar. My double-unders have really improved. I think it is due to the ninja shoes! Pull-ups are still my nemasis but we are slowly working on the battle. In time young Padawan!

Stuck with the meal plan yesterday and to be totally honest I felt like I was constanly eating all day. A snack here, lunch, another snack dinner, snack. I felt like I ate a lot. Was never hungry or stomache never growled. I wonder if 13 blocks is maybe too much food. I reallt don't know how many blocks I should be eating. I am going with what Andy said and I think he kind of knows what he is talking about. So we'll stick with it awhile and watch my weight and energy level. This morning I got on the scale and was 142lbs. Now on to day 2!
