whew. day 2 was a killer.
today for my workout, i did this fat blasting circuit from oxygen magazine. it was nowhere near as intense as what i'm used to with insanity, and i didn't get any nausea. to be honest, i almost felt that it was too easy. at first. right now? omg, i can feel EVERY fucking muscle i worked, and i'm beginning to get stiff. looks like i have another date in the tub with stephen king.
here is a breakdown of what i did:
- run in place, 30 steps
- body weight bulgarian squats, 15 reps each leg
- jumping jacks, 20 reps
- standing hammer curl, 15 reps each arm
- step ups, 10 reps each leg
- push ups, 15 reps {incline push ups for 2nd circuit}
- run in place, 30 steps
- side plank, 20s each side
- jumping jacks, 20 reps
- front raise, 15 reps {lateral raise for 2nd circuit}
- step ups, 8 reps each leg
- one-armed seated row, 15 reps each arm
- run in place, 30 steps
- walking lunge, 15 reps each leg
- jumping jacks, 20 reps
- bench dips, 15 reps
- step ups, 8 reps each leg
after all of that, i rested for 2 minutes and did it again {with the changes noted for the 2nd circuit}.
afterwards, i was sweaty but not out of breath and exhausted, like i'm used to with insanity. i had tons of energy and even considered asking BF if we could up the intensity. now, i know better. i'm glad he helped me create this program, because it's hard to do a completely exhausting super workout every goddamned day. this circuit doesn't exhaust me, but i can tell that i've worked. i like it.
tomorrow is rest & recovery day. i'm still going to do my food journal, but not much else.
here is my intake for day 2:
8am- protein & supps
9am-coffee, 2 sugar
9:25- coffee, 2 sugar
chocolate chip cookie
11:05- coffee, 2 sugar
11:45- scrambled eggs & sausages
supps
12pm- coffee, 2 sugar
12:45- coffee, 2 sugar
2pm- slice of cheese
1 cup pineapple juice
4:30- post-workout protein & supps
5pm- peant butter cookie

{approx. 1 cup}
coffee, 2 sugar
7pm- coffee, 2 sugar
8pm- coffee, 2 sugar
8:30- coffee, 2 sugar
9:10- coffee, 2 sugar
ok, so i went a little coffee crazy today.. but it's still TONS less than usual, seeing as how writing down helps me to drink less.
that's it for today. thank god tomorrow is r&r day, because i am fucking tired and sore.
