I am currently in bed, ready to sleep but remembered I didn't post after the gym.
Last night I made chicken parm and a bourbon street chicken inspired stir fry thing. Tonight in going to break down the 5 lb pork loin I got on sale and maybe cook up some pork chops with mashed potatoes and green beans.
Here's my food log for today:
Like I said in a previous post, I didn't track every ingredient because that's too much work. So my supper also had a brown sugar bourbon marinade, soy sauce, cornstarch, and a little oil, but I'm really not too concerned about calories, just some of my macros.
I hit my protein and fiber goals, which are what I am focusing on tracking.
Today was a lower body day (and my chest is still a little sore from my upper body day last week) but I didn't want to always do the same workout, so I picked some different exercises to mix in. I think it's a good idea to have at least 2 different routines so I make sure I can get alllll the muscles targeted at some point.
Treadmill: 0.25/3.0/1.0/5:00, 0.5/6.0/1.0/5:00, 0.25/3.0/1.0/5:00
Leg Press: 8/90, 8/90, 8/90
Calf Press: 15/90, 15/90, 15/90
Hip Adduction: 8/60, 8/60, 8/60
Hip Abduction: 8/60, 8/60, 8/60
Kettlebell Swings: 15/20, 15/20, 15/20
Weight Plate Hip Thrust w/ Bench: 8/25, 8/25, 8/25
Straight Leg Alternating Toe Touches: 20, 15, 10
For the leg press and calf press, I've decided I don't trust the resistance that's written on the machine because it just doesn't seem right (167 lbs). So instead I'm just writing the weight of the plates I added so I can track it more accurately.
My legs aren't nearly as tired today as they were after the last leg workout I did, so I think this doesn't work me quite as hard as the other one did. I think that's probably a good thing so I can still work my legs without almost overworking them every single time I have a lower body day. Still haven't figured out what I want to do tonight for my second upper body day routine but I'll make a post tomorrow morning and you'll find out what I did!
I hope y'all have a good day and that you don't hit any red lights on your way home from work (or wherever you go today!) ✨
