Eating

Today hasn't been too bad. I did cheat a little, but given that I was put through my paces by Billy I don't feel too bad. I obviously felt motivated because straight after the gym I headed to the store and and actually bought nothing other than fresh food - and now having bought 2.5lb of salmon I have an additional source of protein in the freezer.

Today's eating:
9.15am breakfast - ham, spinach, cheese omelette
1.30pm lunch - deep fried mushrooms, salad, fat free frozen yogurt
3.30pm snack - fruit rollup, few pieces of fresh pineapple
4.45pm snack - yogurt, few grapes
7.15pm dinner - salmon and veggie stir fry, jello and cool whip

Gym - 15 min cardio, 1 hour with Billy

My cheats today were the deep fried mushrooms and the fruit rollup. While bad, if that's the ONLY bad thing I eat, it's not that bad, right?

I thought I'd give you an idea of what I get through in an hour with Billy. Don't think I've posted this before so it may be of interest. After the cardio warm up.... each set of exercises is done twice

Set 1
a) Seated high row - 20lb resistance, 20 reps
b) Bent over row - 10lb weight 1st round, 25lb weight 2nd round, 20 reps each arm
c) Holding same weight as (b) do 20 squats

Set 2
a) Calf raises with 50lb weight on shoulders 20 reps
b) Lie face down, holding yourself up with your arms, 25lb weight between your feet, pull the weight to your butt 20 reps (your thighs are resting on a spongy thingy)
c) Stand on bosu ball, hold 15lb weight in one arm, squat down and then stand up and reach the weight to the sky 10 reps each arm

Set 3
a) Shoulder press 30lb 15 reps
b) Knee ups, hands behind head 30 reps
c) Leg extension 35lb 20 reps http://www.changingshape.com/exercise/strengthtraining/gym/seatedlegextension.asp

Set 4
a) Single leg press 75lb, 20 reps each leg http://www.changingshape.com/exercise/strengthtraining/gym/legpress.asp
b) Alternating lunges, standing still, hands behind head http://www.changingshape.com/exercise/strengthtraining/lunges.asp
c) 10 dead lifts hold 2 x 25lb dumb bells
d) 10 touch toes and reach to the sky

And I'm done. It doesn't sound a lot, but with the weights I'm carrying it kills. I still think that I've missed a set of exercises but I can't remember them for the life of me.

Are you exhausted? I was.... luckily my recovery is quick:)
