Grumble...grumble...grumble...

NR4W, Stage 1, Workout A, 8 of 8

Warmups: Basic various crap I've been doing, plus squat warmups of 5 x 45#, 5 x 65#, and 5 c 85#.

Squat: 3 x 8 x 95#.

Pushup: 1 x 8, 2 x 7, flat on floor.

Seated row: 3 x 8 x 130#.

Step up: 3 x 8 x 20# on 18" step.

Prone jackknife: 1 x 9, then switched to reverse crunches (butt & legs hanging over edge of bunkbed) for 1 x 6 and 2 x 15.

Notes:

1. My canned left foot is still sore but not too bad. It's mostly tight so I worked on stretching it out and warming it up pre-workout.

2. TNT is going well (other than #5 below), on my second day now, and I'm starting to get into the swing of things. I'm eating the same massive amounts of veggies as I used to but further upping the protein and really increasing my fat intake.

3. I'm tired as hell today. TNT warned this might happen in the beginning so that might be what's happening.

4. I woke up this morning with a massive crick in my neck that I've not been able to unkink. (Happens every time when the dog hogs my part of the bed.)

5. This whole Plan A with protein-only pre- and post-workout drinks ain't happening. I can't do regular protein drinks because I can't do artificial sweeteners. I tried mixing my unsweetened, unflavored whey with water. Gag. I tried mixing my unsweetened, unflavored whey with some foo foo berry (unsweetened) tea. Gag. I tried making a not-really-but-kinda-sorta-smoothie concoction (small amount of berries blended with whey and water). Gag. I was so sick to my stomach for the workout from drinking a total of maybe 1 cup of the above experiments. So sick. I have to come up with an acceptable solution for the pre- and post-workout protein drinks. Have to. (Yes, I'd like to keep it in drink form because I just can't handle "real" food before or after my workouts.)

6. I had to bail on the jackknives because I was going to puke so substituted the butt-hanging reverse crunches in order to keep down what little nasty pre-workout protein I had in me.

7. Squat form was okay today. Had a kiddo video me on a couple of sets and it looked okay considering how I was feeling. Still many smaller details to work on, though.
