We took the family skiing over MLK weekend and had a blast! With the exception of Sunday night, I planned all of my meals and stuck to it. Sunday night DH and I got an in-room babysitter and went a little nutso at the local pub. Have you seen how many calories are in hot wings?!?
Back on track with diet and back to normal exercise. I finished NROL4W Stage 5 on Friday (so glad it's done!) and decided to skip to Stage 7 since I'm more interested in fat burn right now (and I think pull ups are an exercise in futility right now).
I started Stage 7 today, a tough workout, but more my style. Let's see if I can remember all of my weights:
BB Squat: 8 X 95#, 8 X 115#
Static lunge, rear foot elev: 10# each hand 4 X 15
Pushups: 2 sets of 15 on the floor, 2 sets of 15 on the bench
BB Rom DL: 4 X 15 with 95#
DB Bent over row: 10's X 15, 15's X 15, 17.5's X 15, 17.5's X 15
I plan to increase the weight on everything except for pushups next time. I was hesitant to go too high since I've been doing sets of 4 reps and wasn't sure how to translate that to higher reps.
I'm trying to get a little more NEAT in these days. This time of year is particularly tough for me, we get so little sunshine in West Michigan that I pretty much always feel like I'd like to curl up in bed. Last week and this week I tried setting a couple of household goals for myself to avoid just 'chilling' while DD naps. It worked quite well last week, as I got lots done including a couple of closets cleaned out, ALL of the laundry folded and put away (that never happens). My goal for this week is to get all of the Christmas decorations down and put away (Yeah, my decorations are still up, got a problem with that?!
I made some good headway today getting all of the ornaments and lights off of the tree and the tree/fire hazard outside.
I have my weekly WI tomorrow, and hoping for a 1-2 pound loss from last week. I really need a good week.
