I fell off the wagon last night..OK I got dragged by the wagon, but I refuse to give up!! Eating clean makes me feel so healthy and alive. I feel like I am abusing myself when I eat poorly. I really do.
Anyways. I goofed and now I am brushing myself off and moving on
This morning:
RTD protein shake (better than some alternatives, but not a perfect choice)
Green tea
Multivitamins
Glutamine
Tonight is ARMS at the gym and I'm gonna tear it up!!

Snacks: almonds flavored w/ herbs and garlic, yogurt ultra w/ fresh raspberries
Exercise: Swimming for 1/2 hours and an active day walking in and out of the office, stairs etc... Water intake : good for today
I felt better today about my well being as if I finally was in some control. Its about time. I will weigh in on Friday to see how its going. At least I am on the right track.
Food wise yesterday was NOT good. I'm not going to write about it, life is back to normal today... Yesterday I had a A** kickin' leg workout! I did Ingrid's Lean and Strong again whoa!! My legs where like NOODLES when I came out of there, so much so I could not do the one legged squats if my life would have depended on it!
Quote:
(1) Lunge warm-up - no weights are used. Do 2-3 sets
Walking lunges -10 each leg (no rest)
Walking lunge with a forward kick - 10 each leg (no rest)
Walking lunge with a backward kick - 10 each leg (no rest)
Reverse lunge - 10 each leg (30 seconds rest)
(2) 3 sets of the following giant set, with 2 minutes of rest in between. Note: You must take no more than 10 seconds to get STARTED on the next exercise in the giant set - you might even be be running from one to the next, and all exercises should be fast and continuous - NO stopping at the top to rest the legs - but of course in control as well!
Leg Press 20 reps
Leg extension 20 reps - pause at the top
Squats(I use a Smith machine) 20 reps - as deep as you can go
This should give you an immense burn - not a pump - in your quads.
(3) 3 sets of the following Superset:
Leg curls (preferably standing) 15 reps - squeeze at top
Stiff legged dead lifts using dumbells 15 reps- SLOW
(4) One-legged squats:
Stand facing away from the side of a bench, and put your right foot directly in front of your left(heel to toe). Do not put any weight on your left foot, as you squat down until you hit the bench and push back up - no resting at the bottom! As you progress, also try this with your foot off the ground, and later, add some weight! Do 3 sets of 10 each leg.
(5) Calf raises of your choice, 3x15
Today I am do arms, I may try your arm workout L2L... I've only got one meal under my belt so far: oatmeal and eggwhites...
Welcome Sky we LUVS newbies here... I'm happy you enjoyed the bean salad... I still have some left too, that'll probably be lunch for me...
Good Morning Gang!
Lanaii,
That leg workout looks like it would trash the crap out of your legs. My old trainer used to have me do a lot of high rep leg circuits until I was near death and THEN make me jump until I literally could not get my feet off the ground.. Argh!! Hard work, but wer'e always happy after, aren't we?
So far:
Mocha Light ( I went 2 days without, but I had one this morning )
3 oz roast chicken
1/2 cup chopped veggies w/ olive oil and garlic
Tonight is LEGS for me. Thursday is usually Leg day but I am a day ahead because hubby is taking me out on Friday for our 10th Anniversary
and wer'e not working out that day.
More later
XOXO
