4:1 Back on Board the Wagon!
So I missed a whole week.
Life happened. And to me, that's okay. Because this isn't a race, this is a journey.
And sometimes along our journey's we take rests/pit stops.
Last week was my pit stop.
But I'm back on the wagon in full swing!
It's never about how many times you fall off. It's always about how many times you get back on!
I may have gained 5 lbs since my last weigh in. But I'm okay about it.
I'm not saying that I'm going to sit there and accept defeat. But I'm okay with this set back. I'm okay that I know that I'm going to have to push harder.
In fact, I've decided to take full swing back in control with a lot of things.
I need to manage my time better. Something that I struggle with.
But I plan on getting back to sticking to my planner. And I even bought myself a workout/diet planner!
This way I can keep track of my food and exercises. It's small enough to fit in my purse. My actual planner is huge! I can't tote that with me everywhere. But this one I can. And with this one I can keep track of important events/dates so I always that that handy!
I plan on setting time aside for my crocheting. It's something that I love doing and love how calm it makes me. Plus, if I am to try and make Christmas presents I need to start now!
I was going to do my measurements today, but for the life of me I cannot find my measuring tape. So I'll just post that tomorrow once I find everything.
I've decided to change up my workouts. I'm no longer doing total body workouts (A/B/C). I'm now focusing on designated areas. And I feel like I'll get better results that way.
I'm glad that I started out with my A/B/C workouts because it was a good jump start to getting my body used to working out again.
Here's what I ate:
Breakfast-
1/2 cup of oatmeal
1/2 banana
1/2 of egg whites
1 tbsp of salsa
Snack 1-
1 small apple
Lunch-
6 oz of ground turkey with taco seasoning
1cup of broccoli
1/2 cup of white rice
Dinner-
6 oz of ground turkey with taco seasoning
1cup of brussle sprouts
1/2 cup of white rice
Snack 2:
1 string cheese
1/2 cup of grapes
Snack 3:
1/2 cup of cottage cheese
1 tbsp cherry jelly
1 tbsp of sunflower seeds
Workout Legs:
1 hour on the elliptical = 4.54 miles
Leg Press = 15 reps x 3 @ 120 lbs
Leg Extensions = 15 reps x 3 @ 70 lbs
Glute Extensions = 15 reps x 3 70 lbs each leg
Inner Thigh = 12 reps x 3 65 lbs
Outer Thigh = 12 reps x 3 65 lbs
Barbell Squat = 12 reps x 4 30 lbs
