TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ……………any suggestions?
Today is Friday and let me say I usually flake out on Fridays. I get off at noon every Friday. I come home, eat lunch and usually DON"T want to leave and go to the gym that afternoon. But today was a new day and I went. Fridays are usually my Leg days and when I feel like I’m going to flake out, I’ll do them on Thursday. I went today and had a great work out. Tried this Leg annilation workout today…. WHEW!!! my legs felt like barrels by the time I was done! It was great though. Legs are my favorite body part to work on.
I did the the leg press and with the heaviest weight, which was 270 (6, 45lbs plates) for 8 reps and then 4 assisted reps. Then take off a quarter of the weight and do 8reps (unassisted) and 4 assisted. Take off 1/2 the weight and then do 15-20 reps. Then you do 12 more. I really felt a good burn…. I then did Hamstrings. 2 sets of 12 with 70lbs and then 80lbs for 2 sets of 8. Then I worked my calves. I wanted to be so done. But then I went up stairs for my cardio. I walked the track and added windsprints on the long side. I know my legs are going to be ever so sore tomorrow, but I look forward to it. Does that make me weird??? LOL! But I’m proud of myself for getting there and doing it!
Now If I could just adjust my eating habits. Now I have done ALOT better than I have in the past. I’ve cut out alot of eating out and started taking my lunch. Also eating every two hours. Not packets of chips or cookies.. good stuff like a banana and protein shake. Things like that. I still get cravings for things. But it’s not sweets. Although I’m getting that craving right now, but that is for a separate reason(mother nature). I’ve been wanting alot of breads. I’ve recently bought Sara lee honey whole wheat. It’s supposed to be the best choice. It’s not bad tasting either. SO now that my workout is coming together… I need to clean up my eating. I don’t want to cut things out cold turkey. Just cut my portion and how often I eat them. I want eat comfortably and not be hungry even after I eat. But not pig out on the wrong things either… any suggestions?……………….

Yes, I think that is SOOO hard too, coming home then having to leave again to go to the gym. The gym could be right next door, and I STILL wouldn’t want to go! And I agree, the diet is the really hard part. Getting to the gym (in the AM, ha!) is easy, but eating clean is hard and takes time. You will get there! Keep up your hard work, girl!
