Workout Plan:
Last week I took it relatively easy and just did what I felt like in the exercise department. I lifted weights Monday and focused on lighter weight with higher rep ranges. On Tuesday I did 45 minutes of walking on an incline right when I woke-up and then spent the rest of the day prepping for my colonoscopy. Wednesday was a day off and Thursday and Friday I did light weight high rep ranges again. Saturday my little one wasn’t feeling well, so I didn’t go to my regular class and worked out at home with weights. Sunday was a day off.
This morning I began Jessie Hilgenberg’s 14 week Muscle Building e-book. I always get excited to begin a new program and this morning’s workout was awesome. I took before pictures this morning and will share my before and after’s with you in 14 weeks.
Comments:
Monday 11/2 was my actual 40th B-Day, so I allowed myself to indulge in a pint of my favorite ice cream (So Delicious’ Coconut Milk Ice Cream – Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl), as well as a small chocolate torte from Whole Foods and a few bites of gluten-free cupcake. I would have taken a picture for you guys, but I was all about just enjoying it. My birthday is once a year and treats like this aren’t something I regularly indulge in…I got a pimple as proof of that…awesome…pimple on my cheek at 40!
I also had my first colonoscopy on Wednesday, so Tuesday I was stuck only consuming a liquid diet and thus the weight loss you see on Wednesday. I have a family history of some issues and my doctor wanted to start screening me. All looks good and I need to go back in 3 years and then if all looks good then, 5 year increments. It was all definitely worth it for the peace of mind and to establish a baseline.
As you can see I maintained my level of conditioning this week, so it is time to increase again. I decided to take a leap and increase a little bit faster. Please know that even though I am a nutrition coach I get nervous about increases too. I am committed to the process and will see how this week goes on the new macros. If for some reason I gain weight, then my plan will be to stick with the same macros next week as well to allow my body to acclimate to them prior to increasing again.
