Whew... what a long week. I laid down in bed a few minutes ago and realized I forgot to do my blog. So, I got up... put on my glasses... and sat at the computer :)
Here's the recap
* SLEEP *
Was tired today but mostly just b/c it's been a crazy week... sleep was average.
* FOOD *
Breakfast- 2 Fiber One bars (was still hungry after eating one... haha)
Snack- a few saltines with peanut butter
Lunch- grilled chicken breast, some chickpea salad, and papaya for desert
Snack- small protein shake (about 200 calories, very low sugar) and a handful of Tortilla chips
Workout- some cytomax in my water to help with lactic acid buildup and recovery
Dinner- tuna & yogurt
* WORKOUT *
Track Workout!!!!! So good! (4 1/2 miles total) Here's the breakdown:
- 7 400-meter sprints alternated with 400-meter light jogs
- 2 200-meter full-out sprints alternated with 200-meter light jogs
- 1/2 mile light jog
Yes! Get out of bed to blog! (The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!) Sounds great. I don't know what I'm eating today, but am DEFINITELY going to the gym after work. SWEET INSPIRATION!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of shake mix do you drink? And how do you distance your meter sprints? Do you just have a nice place in your gym or are you on a treadmill?
ReplyDeletemama... you just need to GO to the gym every day... that's 1/2 the battle!!! I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteC-Line... I have some whey protein at home that I'll mix with part light soy milk, part water... maybe add some PB and ice or some fruit... but I've not made a shake at home in a long time! Lately I've re-discovered Smoothie King and get the chocolate "skinny" Slim-Down shake (here's the nutrition info: http://www.smoothieking.com/smoothies/smoothie-detail.php?id=40).
The sprints are new for me... have you tried them, ever? My boyfriend helped me figure it out and I LOVED it!!!! We did them at a local track (1 lap= 400 meters). The cool thing about the sprints is that you have a lot of mini-goals so you are always accomplishing something instead of just going for a long run.
Yes the idea of mini goals with cardio [i'm learning] are perfect for me. I'm still doing interval running on the treadmill for cardio currently. Our weather is still not quite ideal for outdoor cardio.
ReplyDeleteOn the shake thing, I've tried 3 different chocolate whey protein mixes. I drink 2 shakes a day... one around 9:30 and one about 3:30, at least on my work days. I simply mix 1 scoop in about 6-8 oz of water, and that's it. I'm a veerryyy picky eater & I love these shakes. It keeps me from snacking all day and keeps me on a routine. And we all know consistency is key! :)
