Bring on 4th week, new diet and cardio!
So I got my new diet from Mike yesterday and praise God there’s variety! I don’t have to just eat asparagus anymore, but I do have a LOT to eat! Holy cow, it amounts to 10 egg whites (including one whole egg) a day, a massive amount of glutamine, one can of tuna, more chicken, more fish, less oats and *gasp* 3 oz. sweet potato and 2 servings of protein powder! Holy cow!
Unfortunately, in my ignorance, I goofed today. I tried to stick to the diet as close as I could, but I’m wiped out and don’t think I can eat any more, and there’s two more to go! My goof is that I didn’t realize that the cardio that was listed in the diet goes along with the diet. The workouts that I need to finish from the last month, I finish, but not the cardio that goes with them. Soooo, today, the two cardio sessions I did today were not on the plan. BLAST! No WONDER I feel like I didn’t deserve all the food that I ate today, I didn’t burn enough calories! Tomorrow, however will be different and I’ll do my darnest this week to make up where I’m behind, but I’m not sure I will have enough time to do it. I’ll do my best though! So here’s the workout I did today:
Shoulders:
4 x 15 Lateral raises (10 lbs)
4 x 20 heavy 1/4 laterals (15 lbs)
3 x 6 Heavy one arm presses (did on machine, 30 lbs?)
3 x 10 Upright row push outs (8 lbs)
3 x 10 D-bell up and backs (8-5 lbs)
3 x 30 Shrugs (20 lbs)
4 x 12 Machine front press (45?)
Did one set of 50 reps on my abs at the conclusion of each different exercise:
did situps, ball twists, bicycles, rope crunch, ball crunch, leg lift/hip thrust
Tomorrow I get to bust out the arms and cardio, but unfortunately, since I work two jobs tomorrow and don’t get off till 9:30 PM, I can’t do the evening cardio. However, I think I’ve figured out that Wednesday I will double up on cardio in the morning since I don’t do weights, and same with Friday, with the possibility of triple on Friday and double on Saturday, just to make sure I get it all in, and hopefully a day off on Sunday, because goodness knows I’ll need it!
What bugs me is that I was so gung ho about doing all of this right, and because of my ignorance I ate too much (so I feel) and didn’t work hard enough in my cardio (so I feel) and right now I feel huge. I daren’t get on the scale (I know I’ll get blasted in here for it anyway!
) but the show is 3 weeks away and I don’t have time to make mistakes!
On the positive, Suits by Amy is making my two piece, my supps from last week finally got here today, my one piece is on its way and I ordered more protein (thanks Mike) and tanner which has already been shipped too!
Now I just have to find a way to make a butt-load of cash to pay for everything, because I haven’t found time to put all our stuff on ebay yet - why no time you ask? Because I have to cook for the next few days right now and get to bed ASAP because 5 AM comes early and this girl needs her sleep!
How did I get into such an expensive hobby? Too bad I can’t deduct it from my taxes!
