Morning Biceps
This morning was a mental fight. I finally got out of bed and made it to the gym. My motivation? It wasn’t my body and the promise of muscle. It wasn’t to feel better. It was simply not to workout in the evening. Nothing more. I started off with some bb curls and squat/shoulder press combinations and everything felt heavy. I decided that I was going to do 30 minutes and call it a day. But about 25-30 minutes into the workout, thing began to feel really good. I started to sweat and it felt like my body unlocked and I lifted for over an hour.
I made the mistake of taking SuperPump during my evening workout. Now, I know container says not to take it within 4 hours of going to sleep. And I know that it probably wasn’t a good idea…BUT I figured since I was only taking an 1/2 scoop that I would be able to lift and then sleep it off. NOT. Yes, I had a great workout, but by the time I went to bed I felt like I could still get on a treadmill and run 3 miles or do lunges down the street. The SP is for morning workouts only, then that successive ‘buzz’ can be used during the early part of the day.
I found myself hungry this evening and I wanted something different. I decided to take some tuna in a can season it with lemon pepper, onions, and 2 egg whites. I made two patties and sauteed it then put it over a handful of raw spinach. It was actually good! It is definitely be something I can do quickly and know I am getting my protein in. I just have to watch the sodium.
Tomorrow, I will treat the clock like I do on Monday–it goes off and I just get up.

I just bought a big tub of the Egg Whites International. I’ll have to try them with tuna if the bottle ever thaws out!! It has been days.
