Notes:
1. Not sure if I'm going low enough with squats, felt like I was going lower with dbs, but could hold weight much easier with oly bar. Have injured my back in the past, and may be protecting it too much.
2. Used a different cable machine today for the seated rows and the weight felt TOTALLY different, had to reduce weight. Will continue using the same machine as I used today.
3. There is only one squat rack and only one set of every dumb bell, so I had to wait for either the squat rack or the 40s (tried 45s, but had a hard time with grip) - must plan for more time at the gym for waiting- oh AND some guy was using the 35s and 40s to do push-ups!!! Very annoying.
4. Two snide comments from "the peanut gallery" while working out. One guy said he wanted to be like me, and the other seemed to be making fun of the prone jackknife. I had been really hesitant to do the prone jackknife because I have very visible cellulite on the back of my legs when I bend my knees. I'm can't say "I'm comfortable with the look of cellulite" now, but I was able to totally get into my zone (LOVE MY IPOD) and not think about it.
5. Gym at 1900 was not very busy, got crazy by 2000.
FOOD:
Ate very badly today.
Reversing to a different schedule, so trying to get on a schedule.
Workout
1930 - had luna bar and half protien shake before workout
2030 - protien shake 50g protien
2330 - FRIED CHICKEN (missed dinner because gym took longer than planned, mid-night to-go plates didn't make it... only dinner to-go plate left was the nugets. Decided to eat-um...
0800 - Plan to have breakfast (that's four hours from now)
better tomorrow.
