Oh well, I went to the gym this morning and had a great workout!
I did the following today:
| TUESDAY - SHOULDERS & BACK | ||||
| TIME | EXERCISE | REPS | WEIGHT | SETS |
| 10 MIN | TREADMILL | MEDIUM | 1 | |
| back | ANGLED ROW | 10 | 45 | 3 |
| shoulders | LATERAL CIRCLES (FW/BW) | 10 & 10 | 8 | 3 |
| shoulders | UP/OUT/IN/DOWN | 10 | 10 | 3 |
| back | BARBELL/DUMBBELL HIGH PULLS | 10 | 30 | 3 |
| back | SEATED LAT PULL-DOWNS | 10 | 70 | 3 |
| shoulders | MILITARY PRESS | 10 | 10 | 3 |
| 20 MIN | ELLIPTICAL | MEDIUM | 1 | |
back BENT OVER FLYS 10 10 3
(I forgot to add the last row to the spreadsheet)
This was the first time with this workout and I was pretty happy with it, but feel like I could have done more so next week I'm going to make the following changes:
Lateral Circles: Increase Reps to 20 & 20
Barbell High Pulls: Increase Reps to 15
Military Press: Increase Reps to 15
Originally, I had planned to do only 10 minutes of cardio at the end but I felt so good on that elliptical and could feel the burn in my buns (and FINALLY added new good music to my iPod!) so I went an extra 10 minutes! I would have loved to keep going but it was getting late :( .
I hate having to put a time limit on my gym time! Though it does keep me focused and I am forced to work more efficiently, I would love to be able to spend a couple of hours in the gym!
I made Turkey Chili for dinner last night (recipe in previous post) but I didn't really eat any. I was bad and had some chips and salsa while I was cooking and then after it was ready, I plated Bran's and Nora's food and I had to run some errands. I finally bought the Cytomax Protein Drinks last night! I'm so excited to start incorporating them into my daily nutrition! I'm SUCH a huge fan of protein shakes/drinks/protein in general. Protein is, afterall, the building blocks of life. :) It also helps to boost your metabolism and burn fat, who doesn't love that?!
Food for Today:
Breakfast:
Choc Protein Shake w/ Skim Milk
WW Waffle w/ Natural Pnut Butter
Snack:
FF Van Yogurt w/ raspberries and granola
Lunch:
Small portions of spinach & strawberry salad, turkey chili and my fruit trifle from Easter :)
Snack:
Cytomax Protein Drink! and maybe a few raw organic almonds?
Dinner:
WW Chicken Pizza
Salad
I love making homemade pizzas, and Branden loves when I do too! He calls them World War 1 Pizza because when I first wrote it down I wrote "WW Pizza" and he read it as "WWI Pizza" lol. Special boy.
Well, I'm going to jump off of here!
Adios!
