2 Day Recap

Yesterday was very busy. I worked 8-4 then spent a few hours at the hospital visiting a dear friend. Good news he is doing much better!

For breakfast I had this:



A Kashi blueberry waffle with PB& Co White Chocolate Wonderful

Today I woke up at 6 a.m. and was wide awake so I decided to head straight to the gym.



So yeah this is me right out bed….

I was the only person at the gym for about half of my workout. I loved having my own personal gym for a little bit. This is what I did:

• Treadmill 20 mins fastest pace 4.5 for 8 mins then switch back and forth between 4.5 and 3.5 (1.2 miles 132 calories)
  
• Shoulder Press 20lbs 10 reps 2 sets
  
• Chest Press 25lbs 10 reps 2 sets
  
• Rear Delt 40lbs 10 reps 2 sets
  
• Pec Fly 40lbs 10 reps 2 sets
  
• Abdominal machine 40lbs 10 reps 1 set; 50lbs 10 reps 1 set
  
• Rotary Torso 40lbs 10 reps 2 sets
  
• 20 lunges with 6lb free weights; 20 lunges with 7lb free weights

After the gym I came home and made whole wheat pancakes and Morning Stars sausage.



I did not like the sausage at all. I like Morning Stars’ other products that I have tried but not this one. The pancakes turned out better than expected and the last two I cooked turned out the best to bad I couldn’t wait till I was done cooking before digging in. The leftovers went in the fridge for tomorrow.

After breakfast I headed to the Farmers’ Market downtown. This was my first ever Farmers’ Market to go to. I absolutely loved it!

Well its off to catch up on blog reading and watch a little tv before bed.
