January 8th Journal Entry
Up at 5 am and had my Muscle Milk shake chased with 20 ounces of water. Made it to the gym early to the pool and swam for an hour and then had a good soak in the hot tub.
Mid morning snack- 4 egg whites, BCAA’s and a multi vitamin
Lunch- Chicken breast with broccoli and green beans, 12 ounces of diet iced tea and 20 ounces water.
Afternoon snack- Muscle milk shake chased with 20 ounces of water.
Dinner- green stuffed bell pepper in light tomato sauce with part skim mozzarella cheese. 5 whole-wheat crackers.
Pre Hit training drink- BSN N.O. Explode in 12 ounces of water. 20 additional ounces of water.
Hit cycling for 45 minutes (it was intense) drank 40 ounces of water. Then I hit the weights and worked abs and legs to failure. I lost count of the reps that I did.
Evening snack- low fat mozzarella cheese stick, 3 boiled egg whites.
Tonites Hit cycling instructor approached me and commented that I am getting toned and that she noticed that I lost more weight- a real boost to my ego.
The gym has been completely packed all week with New Years resolutions. I have stayed in the zone during my training and have done a good job blocking out the distractions at the gym.
I am tired and sore, have done a lot of cardio all week-may skip my Friday morning swim but will make it to Hit cycle class in the evening.
Shoulder feels better today than it did yesterday so that’s a good sign.
Another day- another step closer to my goal.
