July 14, 2017: Six weeks and two days

Yesterday was one of those super slow days in the office. We have an hour for lunch and plenty of people go out for a long lunch on days that are slow, so why not go to the gym for a longer workout?

I went to Planet Fitness and utilized their PE@PF group for Legs and Abs. 

Legs went something like this:

Single leg presses, 4x10 @ 40lbs

Single leg curls, 4x10 @ 40lbs

Single leg extensions, 4x10 @ 40lbs

After all of that we did 5 minutes on a treadmill at 15 incline (speed 1.8mph).

Abs came next. I had not done an ab workout since the surgery:

1 minute of Russian twists, two twists with a 6 lbs medicine ball, two twists no medicine ball. 30 seconds rest. Repeat 3 times.

Then the machines:

Upright crunch machine @ 40lbs for one minute. 30 seconds rest.

Bar press @ 50lbs for one minute. 30 seconds rest.

Recline crunch @ 20lbs for one minute. 30 seconds rest.

I repeated the machines because someone in the classes wanted to all of the floor stuff at once rather than get up and get back down. No problem.

After a second round on the machines, I went back to the floor. I went from an upright sitting position holding a medicine ball (6 lbs) over my head and laid back, sat up, and passed the ball to someone else, then did the same motion without the ball. Performed for one minute with a thirty second rest, and repeated three times.

Then came planks. The goal was two rounds of one minute planks and a thirty second rest. I made it about 30 seconds for each plank, and I was on my knees at that. But you gotta start somewhere.

Before I get into the food journal for the day, I had bought a small gluten free pizza from Dominoes, and I only had a quarter a day. I realized this was making my macros go nuts and gave my husband the last quarter of the pizza and I'm back on track starting tomorrow.

Food journal:
