Back On The Wagon: Day 97/5

Well, it's Boxing Day, and it's fairly safe to say that Christmas Eve and Day were both a write-off. I did do the 40 min pilates audio track I have on both days, but my food was off the chain. But I had accounted for that. So the rest of the week is pretty basic. Today was kind of for easing back in to things.

My home gym is now fully stocked! Hooray! I did a super intense workout today, I think it'll be my workout from now on. Fark it hurt. My hands hurt from holding the dumbbells! More than I've ever hurt, geez! I know it needs some tweaking but I was pretty excited. My day was kind of erratic it terms of eating. Here's how things went down:

Breakfast: Smoothie (100ml water 100ml milk, 2 tbsp whey powder, strawberries, ice)
Mid-day meal: Boost Juice mango smoothie w protein powder and some almonds
Cinema Snack: shared a small popcorn with my brother
Afternoon Meal: Rye w pb and a coffee
Late dinner: Fajitas (grilled chicken, salsa, peas, corn, carrot, too much cheese, but all prepared for me by my little brother so much appreciated)

Workout:
Superset 1: Chest Flies: 3 sets of 12 reps; Skull Crushers: 2 sets of 15 reps w 5kg, 1 set of 10 reps w 10kg
Superset 2: Single Arm Chest Press w Crunch: 2 sets of 8 reps each arm, 1 set of 6 reps; Wood Chops: 2 sets of 10 each side (sidenote: only 2 sets because my bad ankle started to hurt)
Superset 3: Sumo Squat w Bicep Curl: 3 sets of 10 reps; Deadlift w Bent Over Row: 3 sets of 10 reps
Core/Ab Series: In-And-Out Crunch (Double Crunch): 2 sets of 10; Kneeling Oblique Crunches: 2 sets of 10 each side; Side Planks w Reach Thru: 2 sets of 10 each side; Boat Row/Seated Twist: 2 sets of 10 each side w 5kg.

It was mega tough, I kid you not. I think I will downgrade the single arm chest press w crunch to just a chest press, maybe with the crunch, because I'd rather utilise better form. I also want to add lat raises and maybe hammer curls. It's a pretty involved workout. If I simplify it I won't feel like I'm achieving as much as I can in the time that I have. Oh well, I'll reassess it tomorrow. I also PROMISE that I will get on the bike tomorrow. I don't enjoy it but I know that cardio is the key to getting rid of ma belleh so I'll do it because it's for the best and I need to get my 25 in 5 down to under 4 minutes wen I get back on skates!
