So after work I went to our nearby bulk barn and grabbed some Easter sweets for the office and of course a little somethin somethin for me (corn chips with flax). They can get addictive and they are sooo good. After my trip to the bulk barn I went to No frills.. I also had to pick up bandaids for the office. As luck would have it, Jack was running late after work so I'm sitting around waiting for him to come grab you.
Yes I would have LOVED to walk home from there and get my much needed steps however I had zero Kleenex and I just couldn't seem to catch my nose. (PS current step count: 9,276) .. and as luck would have it again - Jack went to the WRONG GROCERY STORE. Mind you he's sick too - he just doesn't want to admit it. Like I tell the guy I'm at Bulk Barn and then going to the No Frills in the same plaza and even told him the address yet he goes to the location by the gym. I knew I should have hauled my ass to the gym.
1. No gym (guilty as charged)
2. Didn't eat clean for dinner (like I had at lunch).
I was craving a sub. 12 inches of cold cut on Italian herb and cheese with ALL of the following:
Cheese, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, cucumber, onion, green olives, EXTRA pickles (I wouldn't have it any other way), salt/ pepper, honey mustard, light mayo + sub sauce. It's hard to believe I used to get "cold cut sandwich with lettuce, cucumber and sauces". When you become an adult you learn to eat.
As I was staring at my gut I realized I have to change. Yes this feeling comes and goes but now I really want it to stick. I want my habits and my mindset to stick. I got up, found my assistant ab crunch (machine thing), resistant bands and dumb bell.
Some of the exercises I don't know the name of but I worked out my abdomen, obliques / love handles, shoulders/ bicep, arms and in general upper body.
Dumb bell 5 lb each side - front raises + shoulder press, forarm lift (totally unsure of the name)
Abdomen assistant crunch- 250 total
Ankle touch (for obliques) -150 total
Bicep curl with resistant band 3 sets of 10
This one I'm unsure what to call it - I took both sides of the resistant band and folded together, lifted my arms slightly bringing them together and then separating and pulling apart. I don't even know the proper terms to explain it. Imagine the lady in the blue moving her fists toward one another and then stretching the band / her arms in the opposite direction (apart). Does that even make sense ? Well it felt good. Also - 4/5 sets of 10 - it felt REALLY good.
Now I just have to stick to a routine and continue this every 3 days. Tomorrow after work I plan on going to the gym for strictly cardio and possibly some sumo squats. I am SO behind on my steps. Omg I can't even.
Stay tuned.
