January 28 - Day 16
Hot off the heels of my weigh-in, just kept on going. Did legs today, felt great. Really nice to feel it, all the running I feel is strengthening them up! Just stuck to the diet and doing my thing.
January 29 - Day 17
Had a big exam today, so spent most of the day studying meaning I had to hit the gym later. After that, my friends were going out and brought over some nasty food, but one of my friends brought over some honey garlic chicken wings to congratulate me on this one exam. She knows I am working hard, so she got them baked and only got me eight. I ate 6 and said I just ate after the gym. It is positions like these that I find difficult personally. I am not tempted when people are eating bad things around me. But when people bring me things specifically, like this instance, I find it hard to say no. Have to hit the gym harder tomorrow and add maybe 10 more mins onto the early morning cardio. Did shoulders/Traps/Calves/Core today, for anyone interested.
January 30 - Day 18
Early morning cardio went well. Stuck to my plan and did a bit more to burn off the wings. With it being so cold, my lungs were really taking a beating but still pulled through. Hit the gym today for chest/tris, definitely be feeling that tomorrow. Diet went well as always, just found some new turkey bacon and turkey lean ground meat at the groc, will fit nicely into my diet, which I am most excited to try!
January 31 - Day 19
Woke up, did cardio again. Kept things really clean in the diet of course. I bought some all-bran, what does anyone think about this? Has moderate sugar, but a lot of starch. I'd only have it in the morning on days where I am just strapped for time in the A.M. Any opinions would be appreciated. I have about a half/cup with egg whites in the morning. I have a super slow metabolism and it really keeps me more "regular" than normal, so I do enjoy it. But I guess if I need to cut it, I could and replace it with just flax or something of the sort. Another downside is I have to add so mLs of 1% milk to it as well, but it does save me a buttload on time.
Worked out forearms, abs, some lower back [as I dont have more workouts tailored to LB in my back/bi days, also helps with the abs workout too] with some rowing machine in for cardio. Since I missed two gym days last week I decided this would make for some nice catchup without phucking up some up coming workouts due to fatigue.
Notice my pants are fitting looser and most of my belts have to be tightened one or two more notches. Things are coming up aces at the moment!
