Started my day without eating breakfast because I was late for work. By 10am I was starving. So I ran into Walmart and grabbed a Luna bar. I really heart Luna bars. And instead of my usual Diet Coke, I opted for a water bottle. Lunch at home around 1pm was steamed spinach and raw red bell pepper sticks plus water. Snack was a fat free blueberry yogurt. Yes, I have already missed my protein requirements. Hopefully my protein shake after my workout made up for the absence of it earlier in the day. Tonight will probably be a piece of fish and brown rice with some steamed veggie or another.
Gym
Today was my upper-body workout day at the gym. My strength training program is as follows:
Each exercise consists of five sets with one minute of rest between each set, starting with a set of 12 reps, then increasing the weight and doing 10 reps, adding more weight and doing 8 reps, adding more weight for 6 reps. Then reduce the weight and do 12 reps. Immediately perform another set of 12 reps without the minute of rest. I prefer to use the machines instead of the free weights.
Today: chest press, seated cable rows, preacher curls, tricep pushdowns, and lateral raises.
I finished in 30 minutes, but when I left I felt like I couldn't pick up a pencil. The lat raises really did me in today!
Tomorrow is Cardio....
Hey ya'll! Welcome to the reboot of my blog. My short story is this: I love food, wine, and desserts- and I love to work out. It's all about balance. I lost 30 pounds over 5 years ago and I have kept it off. I love to inspire others to strive for a healthy lifestyle while still having balance and enjoying life.
