For those that know me or have followed my blog over time, you know that running has been my passion for a long time...I used running to lose a bit of weight, to deal with crisis and to find my focus in my relationship with God. I enjoy running, but I have in this last month discovered I really like lifting and I enjoy the changes I see in my body as I lift! I have said for a long time I wanted to run a full marathon this year, but right now I am not so sure about that. I am doing some rethinking and praying about where I am headed with my training and when I have a clear plan I will share that with you...working on a summer challenge for myself.
Now to the day....sorry I know this is a day late, I was too tired to blog last night and really wanted to read The Eat-Clean Diet Recharged...such and awesome book...really...it motivates me to kick this up a notch and see where it can go!
Workouts; Walk on the treadmill for 15 min, 1.2 miles to warm up before lifting...
Weights....Bicepts....Dumbell Curls, incline curls, cable curls,
Tricepts...Tri extension, Cable tri press, Dips
Abs........incline crunches, incline cross crunches, hanging abs
I also push mowed grass for another 1.5 hours, no breaks and I am saying this was cardio...heart rate was up the whole time...we have hills and dips in our yard, it could even count for an upper body workout in my opinion!
Food...doing good...actually getting the 5 meals a day!!
Breakfast....Oatmeal with blue berries, 2 boiled egg whites
Snack...no pic, but it was a banana and all natural peanutbutter. I was out shopping and actually remembered to pack a snack.
Lunch...Whiting and butternut squash
Snack...Smoothie...Dark Chocolate Almond Milk, Peanut Butter, banana and spinach...my reeses smoothie! Yummy!
Dinner...Pinto Beans and brown rice with a couple of strawberries for dessert.
It was a good day...really enjoyed my gym time and I am feeling stronger and I love it!
