I worked out last night (full body) though I had to improvise. The aerobics room was being used for a class when I got there so I had to stick to machines this time.

Well, I climbed the hill yesterday. Boy was it hard! I walked briskly the first 1 1/2 miles up and ran the last half mile. I was dying! I had to walk the first mile down but I ran the last mile. I need to do some *serious* conditioning but I did it all in under an hour.

I was SO hungry today that I decided to drive through, the puny three egg/toast breakfast I usually have was not going to cut it. I had a beef burrito which is horrible for you but still I was too hungry and I guess that will be my cheat meal this week.

Today's food:

B-Beef burrito (flour tortilla/ground beef/sour chream lettuce tomato/cheese)
S-cottage cheese/apple
L-tuna wrap (lettuce, onion, tuna/lemon juice)/orange (if I still have one)
S-Protein shake
D-Turkey/rice/ greens

Today's workout:

Full body (lunges, squats, bridges, deadlifts, calf raise, delts/bi's/tri's)
(will do chest and back tomorrow along with my cardio)

Well, last night's dinner was NOT chicken. We forgot to take it out of the freezer so we went out and had sushi/sahimi again (salmon, albacore), with some greens. It was good.

I'm exhausted today :eek: I had a really tough workout last night. I upped the intensity cuz I'm able to lift now.

Today I will climb up the hill and work on chest and back. Hopefully I won't be too tired. I'm taking tomorrow off and Saturday as well. I'll need the down time.

Today's food:

B-Chicken burrito (chicken/mayo, cheese, lettuce tomato)
S-Cottage cheese/apple
L-beets/tuna/cucumber with lemon juice
S-Protein shake
D-?? (most likely leftovers-salmon-and a cucumber with lemon juice.

I think I need some coffee to wake up this morning.
 
If you want to try a new/different workout, get a look at/pick up The New Rules of Lifting, by Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove. I'm on the Break-In program now and am enjoying it so far.
 
WEll, scratch the tuna lunch. I shared a burger and fries from a restaurant, we went out to lunch today.

Everything else stays the same...
 
I'm SO tired again today!! I did the hill and upped my running by 1/4 of a mile. So I ran the last 1/2 mile up. Next week I'm going to see if I can do the whole mile again. And after that I will increase until I can run the entire way....

Today and tomorrow are off days.

Have a good weekend everyone!
 
Haven't been able to go up the mountian lately ggrrr. I have a 7:15 cutoff time otherwise it will too dark on the way down...gonna try to go this week.

Maybe Thursday but I'm going to still only run 1/2 a mile up...:mad:

Also I've made some adjustments to my diet and workout plan; I hope to see results soon!
 
It's been a LONG while since my last post. I was doing well for a few weeks but I had a small breakdown (diet/wo) last week--Leigh will be so disappointed :(

I underate to the point of feeling moody/fatigued/sick. I didn't work out cuz I had NO energy whatsoever (is that supposed to be one word? LOL).

But I'm happy to report that I'm starting over this week. Last night I did a very light arm workout, had intended on a moderate full body w/o but I was too tired!:sleeping:

My food today is back on track:

1705 calories
27%fat
26%carb
47%protein

I'm going to do full body workouts for the next three workouts-with some cardio in between and will start my split again next week...I also really miss running so I'm going to start running again--even if it's a couple times a week....
 
Today's food:

1677
35%fat
29%carb

I need a little bit more, maybe I'll have an extra snack after dinner...
I actually ended up doing my lower body split routine last night and ran for two miles--which I suck at, I've gone from a 7.5 minute mile to a 9 minute mile grrr. Today's workout will be upper body and some cardio.
 
We should get together so I can take you through a posterior chain workout. And then I have some wonderful Yoga poses I'd love to show you.
 
That sounds like a great idea evolution. I may take you up on that offer...:)
