The Little Me That Could…
Things are going superbly. I’ve been eating fairly healthy. I haven’t really been watching calories or portions really. But I have been making sure I’m eating protein, some sort of carb, and grains at every meal and snack. I’ve been getting back to eating healthy and mostly clean. I have no idea why I was so worried, it came so naturally to me again that it really hasn’t been a big deal. Also to help me along the way is our new Vivanno drinks at work. It’s like a smoothie I’d make at home complete with whey protein and everything. I always just grab one for one of my breaks and I’m good to go. Not to sound like an infomercial but they’ve been really helpful in staying healthy. I’ve been going to the gym regularly too. I have not skipped out on a workout yet. My only issue is days I close at work, I tend to just use the treadmill at home and not go for that long. But I always end up working hard at work and sweating it up. I’ve upped my weights already and starting to up reps too:
Squats: 15reps@20lbs, 10@30, 10@30
Crunches: 15, 15, 15
Dumbbell Bench Presses: 12@12.5, 12@15, 12@15
Wide-Grip Lat Pulldowns: 12@35, 12@50, 12@50
Incline Rear Laterals: 10@5, 10@7.5, 10@7.5
Dumbbell Presses: 10@7.5, 10@10, 10@10
Barbell Curls: 10@20, 10@30, 10@30
Lying Tricep Extension: 12@7.5, 10@10, 10@10
I always do about 20 min. cardio beforehand, and I do some stretches before or after, depending on how sore I am or how hard I worked. Cardio days are about 1 hour on the treadmill with my heartrate at about 60%. Some days it’s only 20 min, but that’s cause I also work hard at work on those days. Anywho, caio bellas!
