(That is NOT me...maybe one day!)Chest and Back has to be the WORST day out of them all! The only thing worse than pullups and pushups? A VARIETY OF THEM! I know part of the problem is because this is my weakest area... So onward I go...I KEEP PUSHING PLAY!
Today was tons better than last week when I was frustrated to tears. I was only mildly frustrated :o). However, it was over 90 degrees outside and I was in the garage. My heartrate stayed low the entire time because I kept having to stop and get a drink, wipe off sweat, etc. It took almost 2 hours for me to get the entire thing done...but I did it!
I've started attempting the full blown version of each exercise for as many reps as possible and then switching to a variation for higher reps. For example, I can only do about 4 military pushups, then I will drop my knees and do as many more as I can, which usually gets me 8-12 reps of whatever it is. I do the same with pullups and chinups. The only difference is I dont get any reps, I just hang there and flex my muscles trying as hard as I can to pull myself up. One day I will start to move when I do that - It will be a glorious day!
I am very proud of my workout today, even though my cals burned do not reflect how hard I was working! :P I honestly worked until failure many times!
Today was my running off day.
Total Time: 120 min (Chest & Back, Abs)
Cals burned: 270 + (? Abs)
Nutrition Notes:
My self-control went on vacation. I dont know where it went?? For example, my family ordered Pizza early in the week, and again on Friday. Both times there were leftovers. During the weekdays, it wasn't even tempting. This weekend, it seems like I nibbled on everything. My mom was here, which didn't help - my biggest challenge is when I am off schedule. Here is today's damage:
- Bfast: Gracie's cafe (only the best breakfast place EVER): Omelet w/ feta, spinach & onion, hashbrowns, ww toast (2), coffee w/ half and half (X3)
- Lunch: ww wrap, hummus, veggies.
- Snack: 1 cup berries w/ .5 cup fat free cottage cheese
- Dinner: 1 cup ww noodles, .5 cup marinara, 1.5 ww toast, 1T butter, 1 oz lf cheese, 4 oz wine
- Other snacks at various times throughout the day: 3 pizza crusts, 1 regular coffee, 1 tall skinny caramel latte, 2 bites pound cake....um.... I think that covers it.
