The planned timeline is working well, however I am finding that I want more than 50 mins workout once I get going but that is probably helping me from actually doing too much and not be able to walk or lift my arms the next day!
Yesterday dis the cross trainer for a 15 min warm up then did weights on my legs (quads, hamstrings, calves and some seated leg press) and chest (bench press and flys) - the weights I am doing are fairly basic with a weight of roughly 60% of my max capability and 3 sets of 10 reps on each. I finished off with some sit ups (3 sets of 15) and 10 mins on a static bike to warm down.
Today was quite similar with 15 mins warm up on the cross trainer followed by a bit more on my stomach/trunk (sit ups, twists, leg lifts, side bends) some work on arms with bicep curls and lat pull downs followed by 15 mins on the bike.
I didn't feel tired yesterday as a result of the exercise and earlier start and the MovaVie RVL shake fitted into the schedule perfectly because I could make it up in seconds and drink it in the car on the way to the gym.
I did take a mid morning snack of nuts and raisins to keep my energy level up after the exercise but lunch time soon came around and the second shake filled me up again.
I am taking on more water now and getting though about 2 ltrs of water during the working day.
People at work have taken me off the coffee round now so have stopped asking me if I want a drink which has helped because it means less decisions to make about whether I want one or not!
Last night I ate chicken stir fry followed by a yoghurt. This was a pretty normal meal for us any way so no need to change that too much.
I started to feel tired a little earlier as I expected, so went to bed around 9pm and slept right through to the alarm at 5.45am - first time in ages!
