Whaddup? Sorry been MIA again. A lot has been happening and it really grinds my gears that I can't share it on my blog. Let's just say something great is to come and once it's 100 % then I can share the news. As for this week - I haven't had any days where I did my IF - I'm literally always hungry. I haven't really been documenting my food because I've been all over the place but Easter weekend I was a bad ass bitch and drank Friday, Saturday, Sunday and had a couple of brewskis on Monday. I was even WEARING the beer because Ashly knocked over her beer which made it's way to my lap.. all over my new adidas leggings too - mama biss treated me and got some awesome dri fit leggings from.... drum roll please... COSTCO! $25 and I love them. Only comes in 2 colours though - blue and my favourite colour (coral) - Jack won't be too pleased about that.
So as for nutrition and workout yesterday:
Nutrition / meals:
Breakfast: banana
Lunch: Green tea, leftover lean beef/ couscous/ broccoli and peppers
Dinner (went to parents): leftovers from Easter dinner + (2) glasses of white wine, bean chips and guacamole
Workout:
40 minute walk
Today I woke up at 4:30 am! Conquered my abdomen this morning with 200 crunches and then headed over to the gym with Jack - holy crap you would think he was a woman in his last life - he took so long to get ready PLUS he had to have a morning coffee. Good news: we live pretty close to the gym so even after stopping for a coffee we were there by 5:40 am so I got in an hour and a bit for my workout this morning.
I wanted to focus on upper body and most importantly my triceps and biceps. They are pretty weak.. Last week I was introduced to the weight section by my friend Jacqueline so I pretty much copied last weeks workout of: bicep curls, teapot dips, standing chest press (this would be my second time using the straight bar) and the familiar side crunches and front raises. I didn't complete the total number of sets because I started to get bored.. lol. And it's killing me how far behind I am with my steps. But I just have to keep reminding myself that cardio burns muscle and right now I want those muscle gains!
Like I said, I've been up since 4:30 am and currently it's 1:48 pm and I'm legit feeling it. Well I was anyways. I already had my dose of pre workout. I'm totally energized and awake but like I said above, I don't want to focus on cardio .. plus I did 40 minutes yesterday and already 45 minutes today. Good news by the way: 9649 is my current step count. Wowzers. By the end of the work day I should be past 10K.
This is some good pre workout. Ahhh! I could conquer the world. But really - it's my lunch, what should I be doing right now? Oh yes, update on nutrition too!
Meals for today
Breakfast (post workout) kashi seven grain bar - chocolate chia seed
Post breakfast: 1/2 banana, 1/2 plain bagel with cream cheese
Snack/lunch: leftover beef/ veggies / couscous (same as yesterday) with pre workout and tons of water.
Tonight Jack's mom is taking us out for dinner - I already know what I'm getting because I'm pretty sure where we will end up: Steak with seasonal veggies + cesar salad. But my mood might change to a chicken cesar salad. Either way I am NOT getting pizza or pasta. Will keep you posted! Stay tuned.
