Ok, so I apparently started FLTS this past Monday without realizing it. I was just keeping my cals down & trying out the exercises to prep for next week's Challenge, but it's pretty much been 3 days just as I would have done them on the plan, so
viola, I'm half done w/ Week 1 without even realizing it.
Did A2 Resistance program today, recovery, no cardio.
Step-Ups - 3x10
Proud of myself for those. I'm somewhat short (excuse #1), and still fairly overweight (excuse #2), so these were HARD. As in, I almost fell attempting the first one. But, not only did I finish them (some
just bearly), I did them
in the gym in full view of like 3 people. Which is MOST impressive for me, since I really just wanted to run back into the locker room & hide 'til they left after that first one...
Dumbbell Face Pulls - 3x10, 5lbs.
5 is really too light, but I can't do more than 2 or 3 @ 10lbs. Hopefully I can move up to that quickly.
Bent Over Rows -3x10, 20lbs
Standing Curls - 3x10, 15
Trunk Extensions - 3x10
These were kinda fun, since I was already past the embarrassment phase. Though not exactly sure what I'm striving for on these - if I try, I can reach far enough up to get my hips off the ball, but that starts causing me to bend my arms more - I can
so see myself doing a face plant on these one day...
Modified Side Plank - 2/side, 30 sec.
Couldn't do the full side planks, nor hold for 1 minute - yet.

I didn't actually realize what my target calories were until the end of the day when I decided to be on FLTS, so it's higher than I would nomally have it. I really don't know if I'm going to be able to go over 35% protien or so, being vegetarian. I had 1 scoop of protein powder, but that's more supplimenting than I really want, so the rest has to come from natural sources. I tried seitan today (wheat gluten, as a meat replacement) - great protein source (22g/serving), and really tastes fine.
