Got some good ole sleep, and I accomplished my goal this week of “Operation Wake Up Hungry” - I don’t mean starving, I mean just right. I have cleaned up so many habits, and there’s not a lot of things that I can change for the home stretch. BUT, I tend to eat my last meal too late. I know that if I have the goal of being just hungry enough in the morning to eat my breakfast, I’ll eat my last meal sooner and be even less tempted to sneak stuff in. It worked last night, but it takes a couple days of something for me to create momentum and stick with it. I got up earlier, walked the dog longer, and got into the gym earlier. The leg beatdown was: 3 sets of 15 squats at 95 lbs with walking lunges - 24 steps with 35 lb dbs each hand, 24 @ 30s and 24 @ 25s 3 sets of narrow stance plate loaded leg press 8 reps with 360 lbs of plates, 8 reps 320, 8 reps 270 and 8 calf press with 10 reps 85 lb sumo deadlift so I could go deep (the reps dropped by one for second and third set) 3 sets of 10 deficit one-legged stiff legged deadlift with 25 lb dbs (stood on two 25 lb plates so I could go deeper than normal) with unilateral quad extension - first set started at 60 and dropped to 50, second set 70, 60, 50, third set stayed at 50 but instead of lifting one leg at a time and lowering completely, I made the other leg hold the contraction at the bottom while the other leg lifted - BURN!!!) 3 sets of 8/8 22.5 lbs/17.5 lbs standing cable hip abduction, 7/7 reps and 6/6 reps for second and third set - all sets in a row alternating legs Hungry at that point but challenged myself on stepmill. Wanted to do maybe 10:00, but it turned into 105 floors in 17:30. I went outside to grab a swig of protein shake and then cranked out another 12:30 on the elliptical while reading my new book, Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult. Washed hair, swung by home to get my forgotten grapefruit, and on my way. My second workout was pretty good, too. It was three rounds of cable crunches, broomstick oblique twists on BOSU, in and outs on BOSU, weighted knee/straight leg raises, ab wheel and weighted planks for abs and then lying leg curl and partner kneeling forward lean exercise. My student trainer was timing several of the exercises and lying about how long I had to do them. I love/hate when they do that! I finished it off with another 17.5 min on elliptical and some stretching. I’m overloading on delicious veggies today and really looking forward to getting enough sleep and getting enough time in the gym. I felt incredible overall today just from getting it right last night. I wish you all a deep, restorative sleep!
