What I ate/drank today:
- plain yogurt with cream top for breakfast around 7:45
- 4 16 oz glasses of water throughout the day, with a slice of lemon and ice stolen from a soda fountain at a gas station, lol. I drink mine fancy or not at all.
- Coffee from my one cup coffee maker, latte style around 9:30
- Spinach salad with beets, onions, raisins and olive oil and balsamic vinegar at 12:30
- Baby carrots for lunch also
- apricot slices for snack around 5:00pm. I tried to eat a slice of banana bread, but it was moldy. :(
- Granola bar around 8:30 as I was starving
- 1 slice of deep dish chicago style pizza from Old Chicago with roasted chicken, artichoke hearts, mushrooms and olives on it around 8:30 (shortly after the granola bar). I ate it with a knife and fork, chewed slowly and ate mindfully and 1 slice still has me content 2 and a half hours later. Moderation!
What I didn't eat today:
- the ice cream at Old Chicago looked so tempting!
- There is dark chocolate in my fridge, but I won't touch it yet!
Exercise-Today We focused on chest.
- We did bench press in our pyramid style. For me it was 10 reps of the bar, 8 reps of the bar plus 5lbs on each side, 6 reps of the same, 4 reps of the bar and 10lbs on each side.
- We did incline press in our pyramid style. 10 reps of the bar, 8 of bar plus 5lbs, 6 of the bar plus 7 lbs, 4 of the bar plus 10lbs.
- Decline using the smith system. 10 reps at 10lbs plus bar, 8 reps of 20lbs plus bar, 6 reps of 25lbs plus bar, 4 reps of 30lbs plus bar. That's 10, 20, 25 and 30 on each side. So I guess my high for the night on that exercise was 105?
- Alternated intervals of skipping rope or pushups for 1 minutes for 2 sets. So we each skipped rope and did push ups two sets each.
- We slammed through our speed bag ab routine in order to get to dinner. It goes something like this:
- holding a weight (in my case a 6lb weight ball) bring the weight to your knees and then extend your toes and your hands out to flatten your body. 10 times.
- with the ball in your hands, bring the ball to your ankles with your legs straight into the air, bring the ball and your feet back down to touch the ground. 10 times
- Using the ball to cantilever your weight above your right shoulder, hold your legs off the ground, making sure your hips are firm against the ground and twist your legs to the left, extending and retracting your feet. I feel that in my right oblique. Repeat 10 times. Then repeat on opposite side 10 times.
- In boat position- balancing on your sits bones with the weighted ball on your ankles, do 10 crunches.
- laying back with the ball still on your ankles as your feet are in the air, extend your feet as far out from your body horizontally as you can without lifting your hips or lower back off the ground. Repeat 10 times.
- holding the ball, do 10 full situps.
- repeat the entire sequence 2 more times for a total of 3 sets.
- We were only there for a little over an hour! Record!
