I woke up bright and early at 4:30am and made it to the gym by 5:06am. Getting there took some talking into.. I was up a few times with Nora last night and I was just drained when I woke up. I kept trying to make excuses for not going from the moment I woke up.. I went to the bathroom and I said "if Branden didn't get the laundry last night, I'm not going".. but Branden did get the laundry and it was folded neatly on my couch. Then I said "if I can't find his car keys, I'm not going".. but they were sitting in plain sight. So then I said to myself "get your ass to the gym." So I got my ass to the gym. I figured any workout is better than none! Unfortunately, my lack of energy effected my 'Cardio Killa' motivation, so I did more weight training today. I'm not necessarily saying that it's a bad thing, considering I've really neglected it so far this week. I was a little all over the place but my workout went as follows:
| TIME | EXERCISE | REPS | LBS | SETS |
| 2 MIN | TREADMILL | WALK | ||
| 3MIN | TREADMILL | JOG | ||
| DUMBBELL HIGH PULLS | 15 | 10 | 3 | |
| TRICEP EXTENSIONS | 7.5 | 15 | 3 | |
| TRICEP DIPS | 10 | BODY | 3 | |
| ONE LEG BICYCLES | 15 EA SIDE | N/A | 3 | |
| 6 INCH KILLERS | 10 | N/A | 2 | |
| TWISTING BICEP CURLS | 15 | 10 | 2 | |
| CROSS BODY BICEP CURLS | 15 | 10 | 2 | |
| 10MIN | ELLIPTICAL | MEDIUM | ||
| 2MIN | TREADMILL | WALK | ||
| 3MIN | TREADMILL | JOG |
I'm super proud of myself for doing 2 sets of the treadmill this morning! Even if it's only 3min sets of jogging, I'm doing it! I decided I'm going to jog for 3min per day for the next week or so and then steadily increase it by 1 minute every week or every other week, depending on how my endurance builds.
Dinner last night was NOT the most healthy. We have a freezer full of meat at my house and Branden said that he wanted me to cook through what we had, rather than buying new/different proteins every week - which is what I was doing. His mother gave us 2 bags of chicken leg quarters (3 in each bag) so I made one of the bags last night. I baked it with a little S&P and Granulated Garlic for 1 hour, then put a touch of BBQ sauce on top of each and baked for an additional 15 minutes. I also served roasted eggplant (recipe below) and brown rice w/ garlic and lemon juice. I really do not advocate bone-in, skin-on chicken as the fat content is MUCH higher than boneless/skinless.. but I was just following orders :) Of course, we both pulled off the skin and cut around the fat on our chicken.
Roasted Eggplant Recipe: (serves 2-3)
1 Eggplant, peeled and sliced into 1/2" rounds
Fat Free Feta Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
Non-Stick Spray
Minced Garlic
Pre-heat oven to 375
-Line cookie sheet with foil and spray generously with non-stick spray
-Spray each side of eggplant slices with non-stick spray and season with S&P
-Roast for 15 minutes
-Remove from oven, flip eggplant to opposite side and sprinkle garlic and feta
-Roast for additional 15 minutes
It was pretty yummy! Anything with Feta cheese gets my approval :) The original recipe did not include the garlic but I know adding it will make it much better, as I found it a bit bland.
