Weight dropped down to the weight it was last week just before the weekend planned-sabotage-splurge. Maybe the lunges and squats from yesterday helped!
Meals have been on track, but I tried to do somethign a little different. SInce my workout was for evening time, I fueled up on a more carby-lunch rather than proteins alone so as to get that insulin spike to help with the workout. I got 6 hrs of sleep last night. So I don't know if it was the carby meal or the lack of sleep that made me feel very tired in the afternoon. I took a short nap and that made things even worse. Somehow I dragged my butt to the gym (after a little pep talk from my favorite cheerleader!). I put in two hours at the gym and started my lap-running on track. I did the following intervals: (each lap is 1/10th of a mile) 4 laps: jogging 1 lap brisk walk 2 laps jogging break for 10 mins 3 laps jogging 1 lap walking 2 laps jogging
So overall, not too much of running, but I did finish a mile even though it was in segments. After that I had a lower-body toning/cardio class and it kicked my butt...lot of fast-paced moves where she'd make us do a move for 1 min at really high speeds on the bench... After that I did 15 reps of obliques with the medicine ball, ranging from 6-10 pounds, for about 240 reps! Ab crunches on ball: 25 Upper back curls: 4 sets of 10
Meals: brunch: homemade chilli (2 pts), 1 flatbread (1), feta and mozzarella sprinkled (1) coffee with cream (1.5) 1/2 serving protein shake (2.5) almonds (3) dinner: chickn stir fry (oil 2 pts, chickn and 1 small veggie sausage 3 pts) 1/2 serving protein mix (2.5) Total: 18.5
