Hello there! I’m pretty pumped up today. A friend of mine posted a video on Facebook that I suggest everyone watch… it’s about being successful and it kind of kicked my ass back into gear! Watch it Here if you’d like.
Anyway, after watching that last night I decided that I was going back full motion this morning! SO I woke up early, went to the gym and actually did 2 of my workouts!
Here’s what I did:
Workout #1:
5 Rounds for time: | ||
Seated Cable Rows | 20 @ 30# | |
Back Extensions | 15 | |
Lying BB Skull Crushers | 20 @ 20# | |
Bike | 1 mile | |
TIME: | 24:25:00 |
My time for this workout last time was almost 29 minutes! Happy with the improvement!
Workout #2:
10 Rounds (10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1) | |
Jump squats | 65# |
Pushups | |
TIME: | 9:25 |
My time for this workout last time was over 11 minutes so again, happy with the progress!
Man, after doing all of this I was pretty wiped out but it felt AMAZING! I had almost forgotten how great it felt to get a really good workout in! I’ve been focusing almost completely on running and I need to balance that focus so I can still work the rest of my body enough as well. When I was on the bike in Workout #1, I kept my pace at an average of about 103RPM… I was just amped!
Sorry for the lack of post yesterday- it was a crazy day. I went running yesterday morning and did 2.07 miles in 23:47 which is about 15 seconds faster than last time. I’ll take it! My chest was hurting a bit afterward, I’m assuming due to the cold air, but that passed as the day progressed. Food was pretty typical: Protein shake, granola and juice for breakfast; apple for snack; leftover Veggie Korma for lunch; roasted veggies for snack; Veggie Pasta primavera for dinner.
Tomorrow is running day again. I’m really excited because it’s getting back to warm weather here! I’m sure it’s only temporary but hell, I’ll take it! I’m going to try really hard to do the long 5 mile run tomorrow because I’m spending Thursday and Friday night in Louisville and I can pretty much guarantee that I’m not going to wake up Saturday morning and go running lol.
Food Today:
Breakfast:
Protein shake immediately following workout
½ c granola w/ ¼ c soy milk
Freshly juiced spinach, carrots, apples, raspberries, cranberries and oranges
Snack:
Red Apple
Baby Carrots w/ homemade hummus
Lunch:
Leftover veggie chili
Snack:
4 stuffed grape leaves
A few WW pita chips w/ more hummus (I’m hungry today!)
Dinner:
New recipe – Pad Thai Salad
I know I owe you guys a few recipes but I’ve been getting them out of my vegan cookbook and keep forgetting to bring it with me to copy the recipe! I promise I’ll remember to do it soon! J
Well, I decided to join the 30 day weightloss challenge, after-all. They have re-structured the rules so you are no longer required to track calorie intake or calorie burned, which helps a lot! So I had my first weigh-in this morning and I will ‘journal’ about what I ate today later this evening. I’m not expecting to win this challenge by any means, the weight typically comes off much faster in the beginning so I’m expecting these ladies to fly by me as far as their total pounds lost, but I’m still excited to participate!
Alrighty well I suppose that’s all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by!
