Good Morning!
This is going to be short and sweet today. My new goal: Get Jacked! 🙂
Workout:
This morning started with a great workout at the gym.
Try to increase your weight each time if possible. If you are struggling to do 8 reps, you should probably go down in weight but if you can do 12 eat set easily, then you should probably bump it up 🙂
After my workout I came home and refueled with protein Oats! I made overnight oats and was so pumped to eat them but I added to much cinnamon (on accident) and It was just not that great tasting 😦
So I made some regular protein oats, even though I was burning up. They tasted great though!
- 1 packet plain oatmeal
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 egg white
- stevia to taste
Topped with unsweetened coconut and almond butter! Perfect combo of carbs and protein!
Get Jacked
While I ate my breakfast I sipped on my new muscle recovery and had my new supplements, Density. This is only day 2 but we’ll see how it goes.
I’ll be back later!
Do you take supplements? What are your favorites?
Good morning!
Why can’t my days off look like this??
Monday was the start of Push Up Challenge Week 3. How are you doing if you are following along?
Here are my results from Monday:
I also did some Abs & Biceps
WORKOUT
Before my workout I had my 3 month fit test.
I used to work out with a trainer about a year and a half ago… From her I learned the proper ways to exercise and lift weights. After I stopped working out with her I would still meet her every 60-90 days to redo my fit score to see If I was making any progress on my own.
The fit test measures variable things including endurance, strenght, flexibility, etc…
She takes my measurements and blood pressure, and also uses the calipers to get my body fat %. She said she would put the numbers into a calculation and maybe we could do the “pinch test” to see how they correspond with each other too.
I’ve been doing the FIT TEST now for a bout a year and a half. I had my first fit test in Sept 2011.
Today to test my strength we did the CHEST PRESS MACHINE. I had to see how many SIT UPS I could do in one minute. A year ago I did 32…today I did 52! I wore a heart rate monitor and the trainer made me walk on the treadmill for 5 minutes to see my resting and my max heart rate.
A couple results that really stuck out to me were these:
Sept 2011: Strength: I could only lift 60 lbs 2 times on the chest press machine!!!
Feb 2013: I lifted 85lbs 8 times!
I feel like I have gotten tremendously stronger!
Sept 2011 Measurements: Right Arm 9.5
Feb 2013: Right Arm 10.25
I’ve been working on these puny arms…they aren’t so puny anymore!
Post Workout Snack:
Beverly International Protein Shake + Carrot Cake Protein Square
LUNCH:
Pecan Nut Thins with Spreadable Cheese
A veggie spread with a sprinkle of salt. I’m learning to love plain veggies so much more than I used to.
A Hard boiled egg for some added protein, and then a pear a few minutes later. I realized I didn’t have any fruit with my breakfast so I needed some!
SNACKS:
KIND + PROTEIN Bar: Dark Chocolate Sea Salt
A handful of BBQ POP Chips
(Did I mention I eat a ton when I am home)
I also received a package today!
Attune Foods sent me some Cereal : Uncle Sam’s Original and Uncle Sam’s Raisin Bran. (They must know of my LOVE for cereal)
I cannot wait to try these. The original has less than one gram of sugar per serving, 10g of fiber and 7 grams of protein! Holy Cow!
I still have to do a review on some Oatmeal I received and SuperSeedz so be looking out for it!
DINNER/BRINNER
I made Alec a pizza and I am not going to lie I had a few bites 🙂
And I made Eric and myself breakfast: 2 eggs, Ezekial toast and blueberries.
Getting ready to watch the bachelor and pack some lunches for tomorrow.
Until later…
I love breakfast for dinner, are you a fan?
Do you ever do any kind of “fit test”?
