Foot is actually ok today - big bruise but not slowing me down (whew!). I find out Monday...
Karla - some schools it's not that brutal at all (like my old TKD school). This one is very intense... but you know you earned it if you get a belt from them!
I ate badly last night (but still hit my calories, and I figure I HAD to have burned well over 1000 kcals in the test)... Went out to dinner (almost fell asleep at the table
). Split calamari appetizer with DH (YUM!!) and then ordered shepherd's pie (Irish pub). I couldn't finish it all, but it was GOOOOOOOOD
. Then later, we ordered some cookies and pastries at a bookstore and shared the pile of goodies (with DH and DS - my DD was on a date - yikes!)... So - not very nutrient-rich and not clean at all, but nice to take a break and not feel guilty!!!
This morning, worked out, and then - took pictures. They don't coincide with measurement day, but... I took 'em... I'll post them in a few...
Today's workout:
Stage 3, A3
1 arm DB snatch: 3x6 of 30# (increase from only doing 1 set at 30#)
DB single-leg RDL: 3x6 of 2x30#'s
Bbell bent row: 60# (warmup), 3x6 of 100#,
110#,
110#
DB single-arm overhead squat: 3x6 of 20#/10# (just can't seem to increase this - I feel a huge effort in my core while doing these)
DB incline bench press: 3x6 of 2x40#'s
Plank:
3x60 Yeah! I decided to try NOT to go for 90, but to try to do 60 and not be too dead to do anymore... first time I ever did 3x60 with NO KNEE DROPS!!
Reverse wood chop: 3x6 @ 40#'s
BW Matrix:
2:34, 2:46
Then walked 20 min on treadmill at low pace (HR around 100-105 LOL!).
Ok... pics coming... next post...
