I won't try to publish my last 3 1/2 weeks of workouts, but I will just post my last one as a bench mark.
Workout A #5:All exercises 3 sets of 10 reps
squats: 60/10; 60/10; 45/10 (chickened out on the last one, but it was my first time using the olympic bar and I was nervous!)
pushup (full): bw/10; bw/12; bw/10
seated row: 60/12; 65/10; 65/10
step-up: 15/10; 15/10; 15/10
prone jacknife: bw/12; bw/12; bw/12
HIIT: 15 min on the elliptical afterwards
That was Saturday's workout. It was fairly tough, and I was a bit sore yesterday, but did 60 min of step aerobics because I had cabin fever.
So today is workout #5, B. Looking forward to it!
My biggest problem is not the working out--it's getting the eating on track. Even though weightwatchers helped me lose weight, I think I also learned how to chronically undereat while on the program. So now I've upped my calories and feel like I'm eating all the time--but am still hungry a lot, so go figure. Even though all the protein I'm eating is pretty amazingly helpful at keeping me feel full (seriously, am impossible task).
Right now I'm striving for nonworkout days: 1600cals, 1800cals, workout days.
Btw I'm 5'4 and 28. This morning I checked on the scale and my weight was up to an all-time high (since I lost the weight on weightwatchers) of 145. Argh! I'm trying not to freak but it's hard. And I've been overeating--having weekend days of over 2000 cals. Which is one reason I wanted to start this log and stay accountable.
My hope in all of this is to better manage my PCOs symptons and just feel like I have my health back and love my body again.
