Feeling awesome.
Not going to lie, tired!
I literally had to take a power nap in the gym parking before going in... yes, I did that.
This week Jamie Eason's program has you work out 4 days and rest 3. She has them set up on a calendar to be back to back with 3 rest days but I found I like taking one of the three rest days during the week.
This week I worked out Monday-Wednesday, Rested Thursday, Worked-out Friday, and now off for 2 days.
Perfect for me because we have a snow storm coming in just for the weekend so I can enjoy being off and not worrying about getting to the gym!
So what's happened so far to my body?
I can eat lots of protein and not feel sick, I feel stronger--I upped my weights in a few areas, but most of all my stomach is tighter!
I have a soft tummy, not going to lie, but man this week I noticed it was pulling in and lookin' good.
Week weight lifting total: 28,398lbs!!!!
378 more than last week . yes.
Weight lifting advice:
- Form is everything. Take the time to learn the correct form and body posture to maximize your results.
- Bodybuilding.com has a video for pretty much every workout out there. Educate yourself.
As for food this week: I've created some amazing, high protein salads!
I am working on post dedicated to my high protein creations that will include their ingredients so you can enjoy them as well. Keep posted!
For now, here is some food advice:
- Find protein in other things besides meat: black beans, chickpeas, avocados, quinoa, greek yogurt, and cottage cheese just to name a few of my favorites; Have fun and be creative.
