Well rest is what I needed.
My times this morning were much, much better. Here is, I think it was my fifth Wall Squat
of the workout…
I ROCKED out 19 Decline Push Ups on my first set…“not bad”
if I do say so myself. My second set
kind of sucked, but I brought it home on the third. My final Plank was 1:31.2. I may have held it longer but I was pressed
for time again this morning. When doing
a workout without any weights or other equipment i.e. bands, balls or bells,
your times and reps will increase as you get stronger. That is WHY I need to get my butt in bed
earlier, so that I will get up when my alarm rings out in the morning. This morning was another tough one because of
the weather outside. It’s all mind over
matter. And this morning my mind was
saying…“Oh my, it sounds like it is very cold outside, and my bed seems so nice
and cozy”…but then something else kicked in and said, “Get the hell out of bed
and get this workout DONE!” So that is
what I did. It felt so good to get this
one behind me. I only have two more
workouts to do and then I move on to Month Two.
Tomorrow I will work on my planning book to mark out my workouts and
then check out the menu and grocery list.
I think if there is a food that I don’t care for, I will definitely
substitute in something from Month One’s meal plan. As long as I keep it clean, I will keep my
body lean. Well…it’s getting leaner
everyday.
As I mentioned to you in an earlier post, with this meal
plan I have been eating more calories a day than I was before I started. SO…the few times that I have weighed myself,
the scale has shown higher numbers, but I am okay with that because I can tell
the fat is melting and the muscle is building.
I saw something today on Facebook that said, “It’s not about perfection,
it’s about progress”. Hey, didn’t I talk
about progress the other day? Progress
is what is important for sure. Today
when I did my first Wall Squat, I wasn't looking at the timer and but the time
that I had, I was at 1:24.1. Each one
after that went UP. Progress!
Today’s food…
Breakfast: Protein Pancakes topped with Almond Butter &
Banana
I added the banana to the top of this one. I had a half of banana that needed to be used
up, so I thought to throw it on top.
YUMMY!
Snack: Tri-Berry Protein Shake
Finally! A true
Tri-Berry Shake, using just the three berries listed in the recipe...Strawberries,
blueberries and blackberries.
It was
delicious!
Lunch: Chicken Avocado Wrap
I should have used the same knife I cut this with to cut my
sushi yesterday. No squashed wrap for me...
Perfect!
Snack: Sweet Potato Brownie
This was a bit of a cheat snack today and yesterday. But at least I kept it clean.
Dinner: One-Pot Turkey with Spinach & Onion
Quinoa
Tonight’s dinner was to be One-Pot Chicken…BUT…I forgot to
take the chicken out of the freezer…
SO…I subbed in ground turkey instead. It was great!
The only thing was that it didn’t seem as filling as it was with the
chicken the other week. So I grabbed an
apple to fill me up.
My arms are definitely feeling my morning’s workout, must
get them to bed soon.
I was looking at some pictures on Instagram and a friend
posted one of her abs. I thought, “WOW!” Then I looked at mine and thought, “Where are
mine?” I know that I have them because I wouldn't be able to do the core work that I do if I didn’t have them. “But where are they hiding?” I can suck my stomach in and I still don’t
see them. I see my ribs, but no
abs. But as I said the other week, “they
are going to pop out soon for the world to see”. Well at least for me to see first. Progress!
Eating clean will definitely help them pop. Next month’s meal plan is titled, “Muscle Up”
meal plan…lots of protein. I hope eggs
are on sale all next month.
All right I am going to get my body in bed now to rest up
for Fabulously Fit Friday. Hopefully I
can squeeze in some cardio tomorrow too.
Until then…Stay Strong!
Good night
Trina
