Rest feels so good …
I really hammered myself this week. My legs especially. They are all kinda sore today. Sunday is the rest day for me … and catch up day. Much needed at this point.
For legs Friday night, I did four sets of squats, followed by four sets of leg press, then four of leg extensions, seated ham curls, lunges, machine calf raises and single leg calf raises. Yesterday was 30 mins. of HIIT on an elliptical, which put the final nail in my legs’ coffin, I think. They should be fairly well recovered by tomorrow, but I’m definitely planning on doing this again this week. I’ve seriously been considering a split routine now. Even though I’ve only been back on for three months this time, I really think I need to start concentrating on body parts individually to achieve the best results. So tonight I might work on putting something together to start next week. The 15th marks the official 12 week end. Will get BF tested and take shots … hopefully see some progress. We’ll see. No weight loss scale-wise so far this week, but I’m not really disappointed. I’m seeing a lot of good changes, so I’m assuming the muscle building is at work. Plus, the supps are no doubt having an effect as well. Speaking of supps, yesterday I was pretty out of it before cardio, so I decided to try some White Flood for the first time. Ummm … WOW. Had no idea it would kick start me the way it did. Within 20 mins, my face and skin were tingling, it was the strangest feeling. Then I had the urge to get up and run around the planet a time or two. The workout kicked butt big time. I had a much different response than I do with the SP250. Once my SP250 runs out, I’m definitely doing a cycle on WF.
This morning I got up and had a 5 egg omelet … 3 whites and two whole. Smothered in my favorite salsa (Italian Rose … MMM). Such a good breakfast. I am so not hungry right now, but need a shake in about 20 mins anyway. To do list today includes getting a haircut and hitting up the supermarket. Catching up on the laundry and dishes. Dishes are totally a way of life these days. Cooking all your own stuff has a way of piling them up in the sink much faster than the previous eating out days did. It’s a small price to pay … but I still hate dishes.
OK, here’s the part where I reaffirm to myself that the week ahead is going to perfect in the workout department, and I will give myself all the nutrition I need to keep making gains while simultaneously spurring fat burnage. It’s going to happen. I feel another great week coming on.
