Well that was unexpected. Hunger problem is solved for me with the trip to the gym. I just returned from the trainer. Today was quad day. He noted that I had too much of a drop in strength for his tastes so I am increasing calories for awhile. I argued with him for awhile but he insisted that I am dropping strength too quickly and that will result in less than optimal end goal. He also got on my case AGAIN for that 12-mile run. Gawd I am sorry now that I did that....
I am starting to feel the pressure with the challenge to drop quickly and push it out so that I can finish strong. I am reminded that I made the decision to do this slowly (challenge be damned) and to do the healthiest way. He said this will be a 12-16 week thing. (sigh...)
Today was quad day again....
Warmup
20 min on tready at 135 avg HR (boring)
walking lunges 3x25
Squats
1x20x95lb (these were nice)
3x10 (135lb I was really shaky on these)
db 1 legged step ups
1x15 (20b) e
2x8 (25lb)e
Leg extentions
3x20 (???) - I didn't look to see where he set the plates
Building Lunges (Oh these are still a bitch)
1x10
So my cals get set to 1850 and I am not allowed to watch the scale for a couple of weeks. He did not specifically take the scale away from me but he wants us to track on trends of a few weeks rather than a few days.... Uggggh... This is so hard.
Oh well.... At least I can eat.
