Workout and Diet Friday 11/4/11
I was excited for dinner tonight because we were heading to Omaha to eat at one of the restaurants that my aunt and uncle started and I hadn’t eaten there in years. There was going to be no watching what I ate - I was going to eat whatever I wanted and as much as I wanted and there would be no feelings of guilt :)
Before we get to that, let’s talk about the workout…
Did a pretty long warm-up because my hips were a bit tight.
Warm-up #2:
Push-up/Squat/Jumping Jack. Did 2 sets. 25 each for push-ups/squats and 50 each of Jumping Jacks.
Group #1:
Inverted Row/Incline DB Chest Press/KB Swing. Did 4 sets of 10/10/20. Did the Inverted Rows on my Jungle Gym XT…I love that thing!
Group #2:
DB Row/Jungle Gym Push-up/Knee Raise. Did 4 sets of 8/12/8. I went slow on the negatives for the Knee Raise and that was killer. Felt great, though.
Group #3:
Renegade Row/Split Squat/Upright Row. Did 2 sets of 15 reps each.
I finished up with a bit of conditioning with Jump Rope and Battling Ropes. Felt great overall and didn’t take long.
Breakfast was same as usual - homemade smoothie with lots of berries, some chia seeds, probiotics, magical green stuff and protein powder.
Morning and Afternoon snacks were the same. Apple and Trail mix.
Dinner was Mexican food! Started with lots and lots of cheese dip (awesome!!). Then had 2 tacos and rice. To be totally honest I didn’t eat much because I filled up so much on cheese dip. It was a family function so there was a lot of eating, drinking and talking which is exactly what I teach my clients to avoid because it’s so dangerous and easy to over consume. I didn’t care. I went in knowing and expecting to over-consume and it felt awesome. The good thing about living a fitness lifestyle is that even when you go into a situation like that - where you don’t care what or how much you eat - you come out of it not eating or drinking as much as many would expect because your body tells you to stop pretty early.
All in all a great day and great evening.
I’m not working out this weekend so will be back Monday with that day’s update.
