Yesterday was cool. All I did for workout was weights, but I felt really good after. Not like I lost weight between Wed. and Thurs or anything, but I just felt much better about myself and how I looked. And I'm improving on my protein, as well.
Today I did really good, nearly making 40% - I'm going to have to buy stock in seitan, greek yogurt and cottage cheese to make this happen, though!
Did cardio (treadmill) and A2 today - with those dayum step-ups. I actually
did fall today - luckily there was only 1 other person in the room, I was blocked from view by equipment, and he was too busy dropping the machine wieghts to notice me anyway. But I'm gonna have a sore @ss tomorrow, "for real", as my DD would say (she's 6).
Also realized that I
can't do both cardio and weights at the same time - I'm going to have to get up and do one in the morning. My "lunch break" ended up being like 2 hours w/ walking to the gym, changing, and doing both cardio & weights - good thing my company doesn't keep tight tabs on things like that. And also alos realized I used to be doing cardio
way too hard for what I'm trying to accomplish. Did 70% MHR for 40min. today -
way slower than what I was doing. I'm really an "all or nothing" kind of person, so if I'm going to do something, like work out, I want to do it as hard and fast as I can, which I"m realizing isn't really doing me any favors. So it will be interesting to see what results I'll get working out moderately like OPT has me doing.
And tomorrow is the weekend. Which is where I typically BLOW all my hard work. I've got the workout taken care of as all I have is Recovery Sat & Rest Day Sun, but food is always tricky. Taking the kiddies to a "Kiddie Disco" from 11-1 (lunchtime) where they will have free pizza. Then probably straight off to MILs, who we usually go out to dinner with. So, I've planned out all my meals for tomorrow, and plan on taking a lunch with me to the disco, so I can avoid the pizza. WIll probablay have to bow out of dinner w/ MIL, so I can eat a healthy high protein dinner instead. I could get a low-cal/low-fat meal at a restaurant, but I seriously doubt I'd be able to find a high-protein vegetarian options, so it's better to avoid all together. We'll see how it goes - I've been doing so well this week I'd hate to eff it up over the weekend...
