Jen - Thanks for the encouragement
Lori - LOL about the brain cramps. I've been trying these macros and like you, I think I'm going to live for the 50% carb week although just tracking for the last few days has been an eye opener.
Stephanie - Thanks for the protein shake suggestion. I have some whey powder that I've been using Pro Blend 55. The taste is fine as long as I have it with frozen berries but I'd love to find something with different flavors. Tastes good with water you say? I definitely need to check that out because I had some Jay Robb powder with water and it was like drinking Crystal Lite with No Splenda...way gross. LOL about teaming up on the Yas...Thanks for the support.
Against all that is Donna, I got up and hit the gym this morning at 6am. If you know me, early morning anything is normally a fluke and on a Saturday morning to boot is a downright miracle. But since I took off yesterday, I decided I needed to get up and do something. More than a day off and I set myself up for falling off the wagon altogether.
Anyway, I did 25 minutes of interval walking on the treadmill. I vary the speeds and inclines. I used to run but I have to spend about 6-8 weeks preparing my legs for that sort of exertion. I have a history of shinsplints and knee issues (tendonitis) so incline walking really helps. I also did 20 minutes of a hill program on the upright bike. I need to switch that up to either the elliptical or stepmill because "Fe-Fe" no likey that seat
and my legs don't like the recumbent bike.
I also did some basic crunches and reverse crunches on the decline bench. My husband helped me with the reverse crunches because my form was awful and I was straining my back. I know I'm going to feel this in the morning.
