DIET — Don’t be a pansy (Day 57 of 60)
LEG DAY…….And the end of the run for the No Pansy Zone. What a way to close out the week. Last week I mentioned that I hate squats. So I don’t usually have that thrill thing going as I head into the leg workout. Not today! Last night AND this morning I was actually stoked for leg day. Actually couldn’t wait to get at it for squats. THAT’S a rare day. I like it.
I’m closing in on the end of the No Pansy Zone diet. In May I ate clean, and averaged 1 cheat per week on the weekends. June was the no cheats month. After day 60, I plan to keep up the momentum. The goal for July is to stay with very clean low glycemic diet, with 1 cheat per week. I’m seeing more definition (even more than what shows in my pitiful self-pics in the mirror).
Have a groovy, safe & fun 4th of July. OUR FOUNDERS ROCKED……..Thanks George, John, Thomas, Ben, etc. AND The Continental Army for our freedom.
WORKOUT THIS MORNING — LEGS:
(7-10 reps, 45-75 sec’s rest)
– Smith Machine squats (7 sets) - Dropset on 6th & 7th sets
– Hack squats (4 sets) - Dropset on 4th set
– Calf raises (5 sets) - Dropset on 4th & 5th sets

OBLIQUES: Side bends w/ 10 lb wt (4 sets each side, 10 reps). I don’t like working obliques, since mine are wide. Doing these on a dare by bondgirl_1245. I can’t be intimidated by a girl, can I?
Just getting to the gym IS a successful workout!

Yay for leg days! They are my absolute fav, which I guess is why they look better than most of my other body parts, lol. Glad to hear you were all psyched up!
4 sets! Woohoo intensity

To get me through leg day I have to remind myself that I am working out half of my muscle mass on that day and it improves overall mass and leaness of other muscle groups. Must stay focused on leg day… But it is so hard…

So glad you’re enjoying leg day now! It’s a great feeling isn’t it? Sounds like you’ve got a great plan for July, I’ve seen some great changes in your pictures (despite what you say) and look forward to more!
