Day 31: Back and Biceps/Ab Ripper X

22Apr08

I am so sore. I feel like I’m back in week one where EVERYTHING just hurt so much. It took so much effort to get my arms up into my blouse this morning. It’s a good pain, but a pain nonetheless. Actually lots of pains. All over.

Anyway, Back/Bis was solid today, considering it was my first time with it. For the most part I think I picked decent weights for each exercise. I probably could have upped them in some places, but overall it went well considering I was still so sore from CST on Monday. The back part left much to be desired though. I don’t really feel it in my back as much as I do in my forearms and biceps. I am thinking I might need to switch to the black band, but I’m not sure yet. Maybe I’ll try that next week and see what happens. I’m still wishing I had a pull up bar.

Eats are solid as well. I’ve added carbs back into my diet since I decided to go with clean eating, which stresses a protein, complex carb and fruit or vegetable with each meal. Power cooking and even just prepping chicken and some meals ahead of time on Sunday will really help me here. I’m holding steady on calorie count at less than 1600 for the past few days, maybe 1550 or so. Eating well, no splurges or desires for any really. I’m a little high on the fat side, maybe 30% where as the book recommends 25% but that’s because of the peanut butter phase I’m in now. I have a tablespoon every morning with my oatmeal. Next week I’ll see how I do without it.

Tomorrow: Yoga. I’ll probably do a half hour on the treadmill and then a half hour to 45 minutes of Yoga. I’m not sure if I’ll do Tony’s Downward Dog Magazine or that Bryan Kest joint on the On Demand.
