The Shred, Day 8
I’m ready to get after it again today after being so horribly bad yesterday. I feel gross & fat again now so it’s like extra motivating to behave today. No little cheats here and there, but then again I haven’t worked out yet and felt I “deserved” a cheat yet.. hehe.
So 5am came early, but I still got up in time to make FIVE eggs & just the tiny bit of oats that were left (I forgot to buy more yesterday!! eeeek!!) and extra spinach in the egg whites. and a rockstar.
8:30am – 6 oz chicken & 1/4 cup brown rice
11:30 am – protein powder shake (no oats left for the shake)
12pm – CATZ. Today at CATZ we did sit up & throws x 10 (10 lb medball against the wall), single leg hip lifts on medball x 10 each & dolly walks up and back x 2. It was exceptionally easy for me so my coach, Kevin, suggested I try on a 20 lb weight vest. I’ve only seen the guys wearing them, been slightly grossed out by them, but always intrigued. Since I was flying through the circuit I figured WHAT THE HECK, so I threw it on. First, it’s hard to imagine that a year and a half ago I was walking around with almost that much weight anyway. Second, I really liked doing that circuit with the vest. I did the next circuit (walking lunges w/ curls, single leg RDL’s to high pulls & bear crawl/ sand bag drags) with it on too, and attempted some running during the Big Finish, but i was pushing my shorts down and was uncomfortable and made me run like a stick up my butt. But I did it & I could get used to it!
My 20 lb weight vest!
1:30pm – 6 oz turkey breast & 6 oz sweet potato & a pure protein bar (the weight vest burned the extra cals 🙂 hehehehe)
It seems weird, but try it!
4:30 – redbull & protein shake
7:30 – 6 oz scallops & 10 oz bag of spinach (I eat a creepy amount of spinach)
2 bags for 2 people!
scallops & spinach
Here are my totals:
Cals – 1742, Fat – 48, Carbs – 142, Protein – 208
Protein – 45%, Carbs – 31%, Fat – 24%
I’ve done better.. but hey, I did wear a weight vest today!
