140 Days - A Personal Challenge

[SpacecityPaula]

DB Front Squat superset (SS) (60 seconds of rest after each superset)
1x15x20s
2x15x15s
Lat Pulldowns
3x15x5 plates (which I think are 12.5 lbs each. Need to find out from jeff or jason)

Lat Raises SS (60 seconds of rest after each superset)
1x15x5s
2x15x8s
Last reps on last set of these were really tough. My arms were trembling.
Good Mornings
3x15x45 (bar) (Jeff watched me as I did these, he said my form was very good. Plan on increasing the weight for these carefully)

Incline DB Flyes (3x15x5s) SS
Swiss Ball Crunches (1x20x20, 2x20x15s) - I'm really feeling these tonight
(45 seconds of rest after each set)

Side Planks
3x15 seconds (30 seconds of rest after the first 2, 60 seconds after the last 1)
Did these on each side
Right side 9,9,6 seconds, left side 10,11,10 seconds
Realized after looking at the sheet I might not be doing these correctly because there is a tempo of 0-2-0 written. Need to get clarification from Leigh.

15 minutes of aerobic activity at 55-65 MHR. - I made it through 8 minutes on a 6% grade and 2.9 for the treadmill speed.

Welcome to HELL!!

Now be sure to tell us how Leigh compares with Alwyn for devilishness...

[SpacecityPaula]

I think she already has Alwyn Beat. I'm feeling her workout. And tomorrow I have aerobic drills. in the form of Cone hops, burpee jacks, jump rope and mountain climbers.

[SpacecityPaula]

I think the aerobics drills tomorrow will be interesting if what's going on in my body tonight is any indication.

[Victoria]

You're off to a really great start, Paula! I applaud you!!!

[SpacecityPaula]

Day one is always easy..... It'll be further in that it is a pain....
and tomorrow is my first rest day with 1750 in calories....

[SpacecityPaula]

Feeling pretty good today. Abs are letting their presence be known. Lats are too. Legs don't feel bad, but I will probably do some stretching after the aerobic drills tonight.

I think the Cone Hops are gong to end up being DB hops since the Corp Gym didn't appear to have any cones. I think I'll be doing the drills in the "aerobics" room.

I'm a bit on the hungry side today, but I'll get through it.

[SpacecityPaula]

Food for today:

M1 Banana, Milk, Vanilla PP whirred together for a "shake"
M2 1 whole egg, 2 Egg whites, veggies
M3 Packet of Tuna, Sweet Potato, Almonds, Banana
M4 Packet of Tuna, Cottage Cheese, Strawberries
M5 Apple, chicken breast.
M6 (I'll figure that out when I get home)

Nice, Paula! Sounds like you're off to a great start!

How much personalization/optimization was done to your food plan Paula? Did you set it all up and have Leigh tweak it?

[SpacecityPaula]

She gave me the calories and the percentages for each macro and I design the the meal plans from there. Since Fitday is such a bear when it comes to recipes, I tend to stick with whole foods.

Tomorrow is 50% protein day and 1750 calories.

[SpacecityPaula]

Leigh is officially eviler than Alwyn. I cried 3 times in about 5 minutes doing the circuits.... I couldn't jump rope any more after the 4th circuit (was supposed to do 10 of these). I put my butt on the elliptical for 9 minutes (supposed to do 15 minutes).

Goal for next time, make it through 2 complete circuits and add another round on. 12 minutes on the elliptical.

I think I see the problem ... (sorry) - Excellent effort! Rest tomorrow?!

[SpacecityPaula]

You made me laugh ( and that hurts too!!!!) Tomorrow is Rest day. only only thing on the slate for tomorrow is Mobility stuff.

[LisaS]

and eating all the protein w/in your calorie limit

I think if they're worth their salt, anyone whose training program you're doing is de debil. Nice work.
