Today was workout B6 from Stage 1. I felt pretty energized and am really looking forward to moving onto Stage 2 in a couple of weeks!
Deadlifts: 3 x 10 @ 55 lbs
I backed off the weight a little bit because last week's workout left me in serious amounts of pain, and I wanted to be able to concentrate on my form.
Lat pull-downs: 2 x 10 @ 55 lbs, 1 x 10 @ 52.5 lbs
Shoulder presses: 3 x 10 @ 12 lbs
Lunges: 3 x 10 @ 20 lbs
Swiss ball crunches: 3 x 12 with feet resting on a weight bench. This was a LOT more challenging than any of the previous swiss ball crunch variations I've done.
Also did 15 minutes of HIIT on the treadmill with 8.3 mph sprints and 4 mph recoveries at 2.0 incline. Good stuff!
The first week I started the program I dropped 3.5 lbs, then .5 lb the week after that. This week, another 1 lb. Not sure if that is good or bad, but I've been eating more than ever. I can't believe I haven't gained weight with all the peanut butter I eat.
Eats for today so far:
8:30 a - oat bran with almond milk and rice protein powder
11:30 a - PWO shake of almond milk and soy protein powder
2 p - kidney beans with spinach, olives, red peppers, and oyster mushrooms along with some peanut butter on a slice of ezekial sprouted grain bread
4:30 p - cassandra's protein bar with soy instead of whey protein
dinner will be a chickpea cutlet with roasted eggplant and tomatoes, and i'll probably have a frozen banana (my favorite) with some peanut butter before bed.
