Day 35 (1/30/18)

This morning i was actually up 30 mins before my alarm...so i was pretty wide awake. 

For breakfast i whipped up a double chocolate coffee molten lava cake protein shake with coconut/almond milk instead of regular milk. The coffee part was actual cold-brew coffee and the double chocolate happened because i added my daily scoop of greens that was chocolate flavored. All this was thanks to unico nutrition. I also had my daily dose of multi-vitamins and fish oils. 

I snacked on some heart healthy nut mix about 9am. 

For lunch i had a garden salad with a grilled chicken breast from whataburger....ranch dressing of course. 

I did about 30 mins of light cardio before i took some of my Athena pre-workout and then got down to the really painful workout. 

For a warm up i did 3 rounds of 10 American kb swings, 100m row, 10 lunges. I then did my shoulder and leg stretches and my is, ys, and ts as my crossfire coach used to call them to warm up my shoulders. 

From here i did a skill/strength workout: 3 rounds of 2 wall-walks then 10 GHD setups. By the time i got to my last wall-walk i was sliding down the wall like in a cartoon or something lol. 

Here comes the WOD:

it was for time (which took me 24 mins and 24 seconds)

40 overhead plate lunges aka OH plate (10lb plate)

20 Burpees to plate aka B2P (25lb plate)

30 OH plate lunges

15 B2P

20 OH plate lunges

10 B2P

10 OH plate lunges

5 B2P

Not gonna lie i had to take some breathers when ever i could...my knees and shoulders were just not having this but i made it through & pretty proud of myself for it. 

After i was thru i mixed up some of my yumino bcaas to help with any soreness. & my recovery.

At first i had a major headache and was sure i was going to throw up but i did not. I originally did not want to cook and then when i looked at my bank account i knew i definitely needed to cook and not be eating out. 

So i had a hamburger patty and a big glass of ice cold milk for dinner. 

Thats been it for today hopefully i can continue tomorrow. 

It is honestly getting very difficult because i am not meal prepping and i am definitely getting tired of salads from whataburger. They are good but i just get bored with the same old thing....i definitely need to spice it up.

Day 30 (1/25/18)

I do know i am behind but a personal emergency happened and i focused on that for a while.

I did keep up with my food and carb count though thru my health app on my phone.

For breakfast i had an Apollo protein birthday cupcake shake from unico nutrition. 

For lunch I had some leftovers from the night before. I had smoked sausage, pan fried bacon and some steamed broccoli. I was still hungry and planning on a major workout later...so i got some baked popcorn chicken from the cafeteria at work. 

Before my workout i had some Athena Pre-workout to help push myself thru. 

For my workout i started with a warm up of rowing kettle bell swings and some stretching.

i think did some goat work on pull ups and trying to get double unders. 

for the workout i did two rounds for time 30 calorie row, 20 14lb medi-ball sit ups and 10 deadlifts at 235lbs. 

For dinner i was supper hungry but wanted a lot of protein so i had some of my yumino bcaas and then i had two orders of grilled nuggets from chickfila with avocado ranch (just the nuggets not side).

Here is about the time i got notified of the emergency and just went into the mode where i was not focused on my eating or working out.

Everything is good now and hopefully getting back to normal soon.

Day 29 (1/24/18)

For breakfast i had a chocolate molten Apollo protein shake

For a snack at about nine i had a serving of heart heathy nut mix

For lunch i had a garden salad with grilled chicken breast and ranch dressing. 

About 2 i got a notification that my package had finally been delivered form Unico Nutrition. Needless to say i rushed home soon as work was over and tore open the box....There in the bottom was the most beautiful sight i had seen. 

My big jug of birthday cupcake protein powder 

My two unicorn snack bars

My pre workout and my yumino backs

and to top it off my healthy journey kit of greens, fish oils and multi vitamins. 

I changed grabbed some preworkout and head out the door determined to hit the gym hard....and boy did i ever. Thank gosh for that pre workout it kicked in about the end of my strength sets and the beginning of the actually workout. Without it i would have been dead. 

For my workout i warmed up with two rounds of 10 good mornings, 10 single jumps on my new rope, 100m row and 10 air squats. 

I made sure to get some good running stretches in and roll out my back. 

The came the strength skills:

I did 8 @ 65% of my back squat max

6 @ 70%

4 @ 75%

3 @ 80%

2 @ 85%

2 @ 90%

2  @ 95% 

I started at 120 and ended at 175lbs. That last set i did not think i would make it but i managed to hit my depth and pull thru.

Im sure you are thinking dang that a great workout....however that was just the middle....now for the actual workout. 

WOD:

600m run

200 single jump ropes

50 air squats

200 single jump ropes

600m run

I completed all this in 22 minutes and 24 seconds. 

i definitely laid there for awhile on the soft, cool gym floor doing my best to breath. While backing up my stuff i mixed up some yumino bcaas to help with my recovery time. 

For dinner i came home ad did a mock of this low carb meal i had seen on pinterest. I pan-fried two strips of bacon, then i tossed in some ekrich skinless pork sausage with some minced garlic. While that was sizzling away i quickly steamed some fresh broccoli. Once steamed to perfection i tossed it into the pan with the meat to get some of the flavor all together. 

I ate half of this and saved the rest for lunch the next day.
