This morning I tried to get Nels to go for a run with me - which was very much needed since I don't know my way around his hometown at all! He hasn't worked out in quite some time so we didn't make it very far. I tried to run ahead and signal to him "Right or left?!" while he was walking behind me. I'll bet that I didn't get to run more than 3/4 of a mile before he made me go back in the house, haha! At least I got some exercise in earlier in the day.
Tonight I went to the gym and started with my strength exercises:
2 sets of 20 squats
2 sets of 20 step-ups, 20 lbs. resistance (20 step-ups for each leg)
2 sets of bicycle crunches, 40 reps
2 sets of lifting crunches, 20 reps
35 minutes on the Arc Trainer, ramp set at 12, resistance set at 10
10 minute mile, speed 6.0
My food today:
3 eggs (bad at a restaurant, I know...)
Rye toast with grape jelly
Ham
Rold Gold Honey Wheat Pretzels, 8 sticks
Athenos Roasted Red Pepper Hummus - YUM!
Subway 6" turkey on wheat with lettuce, tomato, and pickle (this location didn't have any spinach, damn it.)
Pre-workout:
1 slice whole grain white bread (was all out of my English muffins)
1 tbsp Jif reduced fat PB
Didn't eat any dinner, just had a small mug of FF milk after my workout.
Totals: 1,120 calories, 41 grams fat (high due to eating breakfast out), 130 grams carbs, 64 grams protein
My biggest challenge this week? Avoiding the darn brownies my mom made over the weekend!!!!! Man they look so good too. It is so hard to live in a house with sweets around me, if I was on my own I wouldn't make/buy the stuff so as not to be tempted. Now that I even mentioned them in this blog, I'm starting to think about them...ahhh...stop!!!
Going to be lazy with my lunches this week and mostly eat Lean Cuisines. I wasted 1/2 of the chicken I bought last week and 1 of the turkey burgers also. It's hard for one person to eat up fresh food before it goes bad...
