Woke up at 4:45 am today and I knew today was going to be a great day. I knew the machines I needed would not be in use and there would be barely anyone at the gym - and as luck would have it, I was right.
Jack got up 5 minutes after me and before I knew it we were out the door! He worked out his legs + cardio in his section and I finally got to work out my upper body:
5 sets of 10
Lat pulldown 30 lb
Seated row 35 lb
Deltoid fly 30 lb
^ machines
Bicep curl (dumb bell) 10 lb
+ 20 minutes of cardio - although my fitbit swears it's been 28 minutes.
Originally I wanted to include a standing shoulder press using the 20 lb straight bar but my arms felt so weak after the first (3) machines - I knew I wasn't going to be able to complete a set so I will most likely be doing that as my first exercise tomorrow morning. Yep! Attempting 2 days in a row to workout early morning.
I'm also not sure if it's a good idea or a bad idea to work out on an empty stomach. First thing in the morning it's not like I'm STARVING. I just have some water and I'm good. Although I have to admit, after the workout I was falling asleep just sitting in the chair waiting for Jack to finish his work out, shower and then we could leave. I'm gross - if we don't have a clinic, I just go to work in my gym clothes, reapply my deodorant and I'm easy peasy. I am legit disgusting. But I do shower after work..
Today's food plan
Meal 1 (and post work out): 1 apple and .. SHIT! I'm just realizing I'm having my corn chips with flax as a snack. There goes my 5% for the day - now I have to be super good the rest of the day. Ugh.
Meal 2: baby carrots with 1/2 protein shake
Meal 3: tender reds, spinach, baby kale, ranch dressing (no croutons)
Meal 4: omelette - will update how many eggs, maybe pick up some sweet potatoes to add to the omelette, will see though. Stay tuned.
