Day 96/6

Man! Work up with some sore-ass abs today! I had trouble sleeping which I think is a product of a late coffee and a later workout. I started to work out today but it hurt my bad leg, plus the soreness. I am, of course, happy to push through my pain barrier. But when it comes to my leg I'm being super careful. I'm getting two month x-rays next week. Well, it's supposed to be next week Wednesday, but I'm working so I'll try and get them done this week instead. I hope all is well down there! It looks good on the outside, the wound in healing really well and there's not a whole lot of swelling.

I decided to break my workout up into Upper Days with a little bit of core, and Leg/Ab Days so I can alternate and workout every day instead of every second day. I'm so pumped that I have weights now. I knew it would motivate me because it offers so much more but I didn't realise just how much it would let me do!

Workout: One set of 10 reps each:
•Front-Loaded Split Squat - only on right leg
•Derby Squat w Weighted Twist
•Overhead Tricep Reaches (aka Standing Skull Crushers)
•Mule Kicks/Donkey Kicks w Fire Hydrants
•Side Crunches (knees down) 25 each side.

I also did 10 minutes on the bike, 4 min moderate and 3 x 1min sprints & 1 min recovery. It wasn't heaps but as I said there was a bit of pain. Tomorrow I'll change it to 30 second intervals and aim for another 5 minutes.

Foodwise:

Breakfast: 2 slices of watermelon, 1 banana smoothie, coffee
Snack: Carrot, almonds, slice watermelon
Lunner: Wholewheat pasta with tuna, peas, broccoli, carrots, zucchini and capers with chilli dressing
Later: 2 scrambled eggs w italian herbs

I have changed my smoothies a bit to make them less heavy but just as filling. I'm going with half water and half milk, 100ml each, one serving of fruit, 2 tbsp of whey powder, and 3ish ice cubes for bulk.

I'm adding another goal to the list. I will not eat after 8pm. That'll make it harder to have desserts and apparently it's good. I don't know. I've always worked in hospitality so I start in the afternoon and finish late, so late meals were normal. Now that my schedule has changed, so will my diet. It should really be 7:30, so I will aim for that, but honestly sometimes that isn't doable and I don't want to set an unachievable goal.

My late night has made me extremely tired early on tonight. Off to bed I go! See you in the morning on the bike!
