30 day challenge: Day 10

Day 12

Ohhhhhhh Hell no.... Where have you been????

I know.... thanks giving.. damn you.  So we said to take thursday off- Not the whole weekend.  I'm not going to lie, Thanks giving regressed me about 2 years :)

In all honesty, I did eat like a pig that day and twice too, but we're only human, right.  Now that is gone, there is no excuse to get back on the bike! Today we re-start our challenge.  Once you lose momentum, it becomes very difficult to get back on track, but I did it today.  I woke up at 7am - and it only took me 2 hours to get out of bed.  I know... disgusting!
But I finally got out of bed. At this point- I was hungry, so could not go to the gym hungry, so I ate some.  Then, so frustrating, because at that point I had to wait a bit to avoid throwing up as I exercised...
Ok, so finally after thinking about it a million times- I ran to the gym, worked out (legs today) and then ran back home.  The name of the game is: getting back to where we were last week before 'dreaded Thursday' (that's what I'm calling thanks giving from now on!)

So we are doing cardio every day this week.  Even if only 10, 15, 20 mins a day.

Today I did heavier weight:
Machine powered: squats (3 sets of 10)

Lunges: down a 10 yard space

Hamstring Flexion
3 sets of 10

Quadricep- extensions
3 sets of 10 reps

Nutrition:
BF: Eggs and chicken sausage

Lunch: chicken with vegetables

Dinner:
Sandwich

5 cups of water (tomorrow's goal: 7/8 cups

Tomorrow's work out:

We are doing chest
Focus is going to be to add plyometrics to our work out: That means that we will try to add explosiveness to our exercises (example: regural: squats --- you will make them into a plyometric by jumping as you squat: 'jumping squat'  or adding a quick acceleration to the exercise and make it explosive.

Ok... so ENOUGH REST!! WE ALREADY RESTED THE WHOLE WEEKEND. It is time to get back on it! No excuses and no more holidays from now till the end of the 30 days.

We are half way there! Lets stay motivated and get to that goal.  Tip: measure what you have done so far- assess and reflect on what you have accomplished or haven't. Now is the time to make changes and adjustments.  What have you noticed so far?
Have you been good about exercising every day?  Have you eaten 'right'? balanced, rich in nutrition and a variety of colors?
If you have- great! Keep going
If you have not: you're not going to die.... you are not a bad person... don't come find me and beat me up... just fix it!  Look at where you felt short and adjust, adapt and conquer! :)

See you tomorrow!
