Workout B. Since I knew what I was doing this time I slowed down and made sure I did full range of motion. First the pushup variations are HARD I finished but sets but barely, had to rest in the up position for a few seconds on the second set of spidermans. The entire workout works your core as a secondary muscle group also. Didn't run, lacked the time I'll catch up today. Food, Breakfast and lunch were typical Dinner was Chicken, sun-dried tomatoes green beans and pasta, a little oily and I guessing the serving size was high.

Drank an extra cup of coffee and a glass of OJ also.

Journal Journal: Men's Health Day 7

Easter dinner, the girl wanted to cook lamb! It was awesome, I ate a lot of it between lunch and dinner, sides were carrots, green beans, butternut squash, and kale which I also ate a lot of. Also, had 2.5 small glasses of wine and a Starbuck's latte. Ran easy for 25-30 minutes when I got home.

Journal SPAM: Men's Health Day 6

Was at the girl's house(actually mine too) and forgot my bag, so didn't run, completed the Body weight 100 workout pretty easily though I could definitely feel it in my arms and legs. The jumps winded me a bit surprisingly. It took me longer than 7 minutes though because I had to walk to the park to do chin ups. Food, I woke late so no breakfast, Lunch was 2 boca burgers on this super low cal bread the girl buys and an apple. Dinner was an 8 oz fillet a side salad sweet potato French fries and steamed veggies at a restraunt(it was the girls b-day). Also, had two glasses of wine, maybe three servings though our glasses are big.

Journal Journal: Men's Health Day 4

Workout B was rough, the pushup variations were very difficult. I got through it finishing all sets but drop the spiderman pushups to 5/side on both sets. Then did a four mile run. Legs and arms were definately fatigued, intensity suffered.

Food, cereal and coffee(skim milk) for breakfast, Ham Sandwich w/ cheese for lunch, Chicken w/ mushrooms, tomatoes over some pasta and green beens as the side. Snacks a banana and some almonds. Had a grande cup of coffee w/ cream at starbucks also. And a glass of OJ a few minutes ago. I'm trying to increase my water intake, it's been a bit low lately.

Journal Journal: Men's Health Day 2 & 3

Day 2 ran a hill workout for 20 minutes on a treadmill, max pace was 20 minutes. Food: Cereal, Ham sandwich w/ cheese, Apple, 2 serving on pineapple, Two tilapia filets and a large portion of squash. Day 3 took the day off due to lack of sleep (I was playing with an open problem and getting my butt kicked the last two nights). Food: cereal, ham sandwich w/ cheese, a cupcake(office party), a chicken a sweet potato concoction and brussel spouts. My thoughts so far, The first workout was easy but actually made me a bit sore the next day, I felt it when running. The large portions of vegetables fill me up all night, however the sandwich and snacks don't cut it unless I get home and eat by sixish. I might investigate carrots or another raw veggie snack, though I'm not a fan.

Journal Journal: A week with an eee

I bought an Asus eee last week when I realized I was going to have to start dragging my laptop though the airport to conferences. It's really the first computer I've owned portable enough for me to not care about taking to school. I can still fit it the Modern Graph Theory and Random Graphs(My bible and koran) a notebook and the eee in my backpack and ride my bike to school with no annoyances.

I decided to put Ubuntu on it. There's alot of documentation on it already. It took two installs to get it right, because I decided I should just have one big partition so I could install everything I needed. I ordered a 8 Gig SD which will be my home directory as I need a large portion of the 4 gigs.

It runs my tex stuff, firefox, and openoffice pretty well. The keyboard and screen are small but I'm adjusting quickly. I'm kicking around the idea of running compiz but currently have all effects off. I still wouldn't use it as my main PC but it's great for the road.

Off to a bad start, didn't get to run until 9:30 pm since I had a meeting with my advisor and then covered someone's tutoring schedule. Anyway, ran 3.5 miles mid intensity came back and did workout A with one substitution. Since I don't have a Smith Machine I'm doing stability ball rows. It wasn't overly strenuous but I need to work on full range of motion.

Food. Cereal for breakfast with a coffee+2% milk, ham sandwich w/ provolone cheese and horseradish mustard. Dinner two tyson frozen chick tenderloins, mushrooms, and red sauce, a half cup of pasta (200 calories BAD!). Huge helping of nuked green beans, added 2 teaspoons of pesto and an oz shredded Italian cheese. Snacks: an apple and orange 2 cups of Xtra coffee(I'm a mathematician).

Journal Journal: Clever but futile idea I

Doug West has an unsolved problem site here The Diagonal Ramsey Problem (does lim_k\to\infty \log(R(k,k))/k exist? What is it?) seemed fun. I thought I should try Feketa's lemma and the best known bounds for the Ramsey Numbers. Unfortunately, 20 minutes later I found the best known bounds aren't good enough. An easy place to attempt Feketa's lemma though, maybe someday I'll get lucky.
