WOD 101209

"Chelsea"
Every minute, on the minute, for 30 minutes, do:
5 Pull Ups
10 Push Ups
15 Squats

4mins+5+10

Damn fail at this WOD. Was aiming for 5mins but the push ups were a killer. After I did my 4 minute (-.-!) workout, I couldn't just go home feeling all okay and jumping about so I decided to do Saturday's WOD.

"Dianne" (WOD 101009)
21-15-9 reps for time of:
Deadlift @ 100kgs
Handstand Push Ups

13:52 (deadlift@40kgs, pike@24")

Deadlifts felt pretty good although my hands keep slipping - could it be because my hands are small? :( Besides that, all was good and I started on Pike Handstand Push Ups! That went pretty well too for I managed to do the reps at one go. Will go lower the next time!

Nom nom nom!
Started on another diet: British Heart Foundation Diet. My maid found it in some ancient cookbook of Mummy's and asked me to try it. Heck, since I'm into this whole eating better phase, why not? I did some research online and the strangest thing is no one knows where it originated from! Yes, the implication made by its name is inaccurate. There were lots of different views on it so I decided the only way to determine the verdict is to TRY it!

It's a 3 day diet where you must drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day and the only seasoning permitted is salt and pepper (MY BEST FRIENDS). Measurements which are not precise are up to your common sense (ahaha) - as quoted from the book! It does remind me somewhat of the Zone Diet where you have to weigh everything. Speaking of which, I might be trying that next week.

1 grapefruit, 1 toast, 2 tsp peanut butter
4 oz. tuna, 1 slice toast
2 slices of ham, 1 cup string beans, 4 oz. beetroot, 2 oz. ice cream (only vanilla is permitted), 1 small apple

Eating dinner was hell with the beetroot and all but the rest were pretty okay. The diet claims that you can lose 10 pounds in 3 days which may sound really cool but I would think is pretty unhealthy, no? We'll see how it turns out.

Disclaimer: I'm not on a diet to lose weight. Partly to keep healthy and partly to experiment with food. You all know how I love my food and The Sandra Tan Syndrome will be back ;)
