This post is for Friday, November 13th, 2009. Again, I'm posting a day late.
Jack is one happy dog.
Friday
is my leg day at the gym. I decided to get in a walk with Jumping Jack
Flash this morning before making my way to the gym. He and I had a
quick, quite cool 2 mile walk. At the gym I began with a little warm up
on the recumbent bike and then moved on to Smith Squats. This week I
got to train in my Cardillo Weight Belt (which was one of my mini
goals). It felt like a tight glove was holding me together while
squatting. I completed 3 sets of Smith Squats, then 3 sets of true
squats, then 3 sets of hack squats, and finally 3 sets of leg
extensions. For hamstrings I started with 3 sets of standing leg curls,
then on to 3 sets of seated leg curls, and finished with 3 sets of
hyper-extensions. Once home JJF and I walked again in the early
afternoon & he and I both walked with Kim when she got home from
work. A little less than 6 miles of walking on leg day!
My
meals began with a screw up on my part. I intended to prepare maple
brown sugar oatmeal, facon, a banana, and a slice of bread. When I took
my first bite of oatmeal I realized I had inadvertently made apple
cinnamon oatmeal. Quite a shock to what my taste buds were expecting. I
forgot to eat my morning snack before training so after I returned from
the gym I had 1oz of cheese. Lunch was home-style cheesy potatoes and a
Morning Star fake grilled chicken breast. My afternoon snack was a
double chocolate almond cookie. Dinner was veggie fajitas with fake
chorizo along with peas and corn. Dessert was a chocolate chip cookie
and a cup of tea.
Kim
and I are gonna try to shoot a new pic of me tomorrow to use in the
upcoming NS fall contest. If it turns out well I'll probably use it as
my new image on NS.
