Wednesday, February 6th-
Food- I had a little splurge at lunch today with some lasagna from Tony's Pasta. We were hosting a luncheon at work so I indulged with one slice but made sure to lean more towards a mixed green salad and fresh grapes. Otherwise, it was a good day with appropriately balanced snacks on correct intervals.
Workout- Since I'm training so much, we're starting to focus on body areas. Today was about upper body and core. I've continued to find the workouts interesting and engaging but the boxing is by far my favorite. In addition to the muscle value, boxing does wonder for your heart rate and hand/eye coordination.
Cardio- I reversed my 2.45 mile walk around downtown and kept the pace pretty high. My heart rate average for the trip was 130 but bumped into the mid 140's for inclines.
Tuesday, February 5th-
Food- Probably the best food day I've had. I hit all the marks and goals for each meal. Adding trail mix (nuts and raisins only) to my fruit snacks is helping with too much fruit sugar sting. I finished the day with my favorite dish
Workout- Mainly cardio workout tonight with emphasis all around and especially on the core. I can definitely tell that the muscles that keep your body stable are improving. The FT plan continues to impress me by focusing on the whole body and not just the typical quads/biceps workouts.
Cardio- Back on the elliptical for a new routine. I would sprint to get my heart rate over 150 and then go steady until I came back
Monday, February 4th (Happy Birthday Dad!)-
Food- Getting on a normal schedule is further refining the food schedule. Things are feeling better all the time.
Workout- Workout today was great. I'm starting to feel stronger again and the weekend was a good
Cardio- I returned to the elliptical machine tonight for 30 minutes at an average heart rate of 135, average miles per hour of 4.0 and a total distance of 2.1 miles.
