Yoga X

Got up and did my Yoga at 545am so I could get it in before work. Most things got easier this week after doing them a second time but not Yoga. That thing kicks my butt. The yoga block I bought worked well. Well need to crash, I have to work at 6am. All this working is getting in the way of working out.

Arms/Shoulders/Abs Week 2

Didn't want to get out of bed today. Didn't want to do anything. But once I got through the warmup and the first set I pumped it out. I went up in weight in alot of the exercises and will need to go up in some more next week. I tried a new method in my ab workout so I can keep track of my progress. Before I was just doing as many as I could of each excercise. Now I limited myself to 17 (the DVD does 25) and was able to do all of the excercises. So in two days I will up that number to 20. I want to be even more maxed out. I don't want to be able to finish the set. Then I'll know I trying hard enough.

Have to work at 9am tomorrow and am going to get up around 545 to do Yoga. Let's see if I still love it when I am doing it that early.

PLYO Week 2

Plyometrics went pretty good today. Only paused the workout for about 2 minutes and only a short period of lightheadedness. This workout kicks your butt. But was able to push a lot harder than last week.

Went and bought my yoga block cause I not nearly as flexible as those fools on the DVD. Got some more protein for my shakes at Walmart and saved $10. Nice! Found some new dumbbell bars also at Walmart and can return the others I bought and that will save me $15. Double Nice!!

Went out and bought a water cooler for the house. Had to return one I got from Lowes cause after 3 days the water tasted like plastic. Bought this one from the same company that my wife has at work so hopefully NO PLASTIC taste. We will see.

Week 2 Chest/Back/Abs

Nothing but pushups and pullups. That workout exhausted my arms. Didn't want to do it today but I brought it and did at least what I did last week and more in some of the excercises. And I made it through the whole workout. Last week I bonked and had to quit 40 minutes in. Today I changed it up and ate a hour before and it worked great.

Well I am going to share what I ate today if anyone is curious. I eat every 2-3 hours or if I get hungry.

Breakfast - 4 slices turkey bacon. 1 cup skim milk, 1 cup cheerios. - Eat this most mornings
Snack - 3 pieces of string cheese
After Workout - Recovery drink - Tbsp - tang, 2 tbsp - gatorade and 1/2 scoop chocolate whey protien
then within a hour of working out - Protien Shake - 1 cup skim milk with 2 scoops protien

Lunch - A chicken salad - 2 cups lettuce, 1 cup assorted veggies, 3 oz. chicken and 4 tbsp dressing
Snack - protien bar and another protien shake
Dinner - 6 oz chicken or any other lean meat or fish and 2 cups any veggie

That's it, about 2300 calories if I'm lucky usually a bit less. Hard to get as many as I need when I do eat healthy. Feels like all I do it eat.

Kenpo and Week 2 Pics

Kenpo today. For those that don't know that is kickboxing. Wasn't that hard cardio-wise I felt even though it was supposed to be a cardio workout. May be it get harder after I learn all the kicks and punches they are doing and can do it with more fluidity.

WEEK 1 Done!!!

Only 12 weeks left. 83 days left.

Here are the new pics.

Legs/Back/Abs

That was a tough workout. Probably pushed me more cardio wise than anything else. Did better with pullups today too. Forgot to add them up. I will in the future. Little mini bonk towards the end of the workout where I got light headed. Waited too long after I ate to do it. I went out to get a new spring clips for my dumbells bars and it took way too long.

I tried something a little different with my recovery drink after my workout. It is usually powered Tang and powdered Gatorade. Today I added some chocolate flavored to get some protien. That give me the recommended 4 gram carb to 1 gram protein I need. It was awesome. It tasted like a chocolate orange. I love those things. They are hard to find so I usually buy one everytime I see one and eat it that day.
