First thing in
morning/Pre workout: BCAA
Post workout: BCAA & meal
With evening meal:
Fish oils (6-10 1000mg per day), Vit C (3 1000mg per day)
Torture Time
Had to do my
workout after hubby got in from work (around 5pm), no childcare! Much prefer
packing Duck off to nursery and doing my workout early morning but it wasn’t to
be today (long story).
It’s super-sets again with 90 sec rest between each super-set
1a) Front squat
5x5 10kg
1b) Shoulder
DB press 5x5 8kg
Did pretty well on this and completed the set.
2a) DB stiff
leg deadlift 3x8 8kg
2b) DB upright
row 3x8 6kg
Completed full set no problem.
3a) Bulgarian split squat 3x10 (just bodyweight). Really felt the burn.
3b) DB side
lateral raise 3x10 4kg
Found this to be the toughest set but completed all reps.
Completed all sets to max rep stated. Not sure whether to up the reps/sets or weight next week???
Finisher: 60 squat jumps in as short a time as possible, 2 min 5 sec today. They were a killer after the first 20, felt pretty pathetic doing them, they were horrid and I walked out the gym with proper jelly legs. In and out in 40 min though!
Feasting (without the e)
Snapper, Broccoli & a fruit megamix |
Lunch - sausages again & smoked basa, followed by apple & banana
Mid
afternoon- protein shake
Tea - Red snapper & broccoli, followed by a mammoth fruit cocktail of pomegranate, orange, apple...delish!
Would have liked a sweet potato but the broc needed using up so I decided to use what was in the fridge & enjoy a nice big bowl of fruit instead.
Drinks - Day 3,
no diet coke (no headache this morn, feel good). Managed to get my green tea and
had a cup. Its pretty nice & I’ll drink it along with water all day. Surprised
to say I’m actually not missing diet coke at all. Haven’t even thought about it
to be honest so thumbs up for me.
Macros
met. Going away next week (nothing too exotic, hubby’s on business) so I didn’t
do a big shop this week. Consequently we only have a few sources of protein in
our fridge/freezer and so I struggled to choose my protein for today. Ended up
finishing off the sausages from yesterday and supplementing it with the smoked
basa for lunch. Really, and I mean really struggled to eat the basa, think there’s a fine
line between love and hate when overkill comes into play and I’ve deffo been eating
too much basa that’s for sure (basa, basa, basa so far). Need to stock up on a
variety of sources of protein or I'm gonna really struggle. Ended up having to
have a protein shake mid afternoon to make sure I was meeting my macros as
nothing else was defrosted, tut, tut. I feel like I've got most things sorted apart from the planning side of it. The more I plan the easier the week will be. At the moment there's a bit too much improvisation going on and last minute decisions. If this is going to work and work well then I need to be planning my meals well in advance and stocking the fridge up to suit. Planning your meals a week in advance would seem overkill and a bit anal to most people but I know that if I don't do it, the week is a bit chaotic and this here housewife has got not 1 but 3 hungry (1 of them VERY hungry) mouths to feed. What makes it complicated is that Hubby is doing a similar sort of regime also (based on the book) but he has chosen a different eating methodology and a different workout methodology to me, he's a right awkward git! In all honesty it's a case of horses for courses, me and him are like chalk and cheese and a regime has to fit the user otherwise well...........it doesn't fit duh!
