So I think I went over board on food planning because David was clearly stressed over it since I won't let him eat his cereals in the morning, or his big snacks or his gazillion scoops of protein shakes. I also neglected to clean the kitchen, and go through mails. I am too precise on portion for him (I went to bought a food scale to measure how much meat I should cook for him and I, each separately) ... maybe a little to much, you think?
Other than that, I felt great!! I am having lots of fun, except have to deal with a grumpy husband walking around the house with his should slumped - all his workers, on the other hand, thought my protein bars are amazing, and want to buy them from me, hehe!
By the way, we have the entire shop to work out with us now. They cleaned up the little storage room at the shop, came to take our pull up machine over, added gazillion weights, even Kenny joined in this week.
Arms and shoulder for today: I started with 5lb weight, thinking that I have weak upper body, turn out to be: somewhere during the past few month, I got stronger, again, with SeanT, the Insanity. I had to switch to 8lb weight multiple times and I think I am going to try 10 next round. I really don't want big muscle, and the trick seems to be doing more raps. Again, I have to wait a few days to see if any part of my arms or shoulders' hurting to know whether today's workout did something to me. BTW, my abs is hurting, so do my legs from yesterday's cardio workout.
I think I adjusted to the low carb diet pretty well. I only have one cup of rice at night, and the rest of the day, only veggie and fruit and protein. I try to eat on scheduled time, or every two to three hours, lots of water (no water after 8p). The only thing I have not figure out what to do is that, I suppose to start to drink water two hours before work out, and that would be 4am, and I am not willing to get up to do that, just yet. I might go crazy and try it. The saving grace for my diet is that I don't mind to eat the same thing over and over, so once I figure out what to have for snacks, or breakfast, or lunch, I can stick with it for a while. That will help with the planning time and cook time. So here is a lunch recipe for a relative fit person with a goal of shed a few pounds:
Chef Salads:
3oz fat free turkey breast, chopped
3oz extra lean ham, low sodium, chopped (or substitute with edamame - yummy)
1 1/2oz fat-free mozzarella cheese, chopped (yuk)
1/2 roma tomato, chopped
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1/4 cup hearts of palm, chopped
1oz avocado, diced
2 Tsp non-fat Italian dressing
2P, 1D, 1V, 1 Condiment
I had this two days in the roll, and it last me for 3-4 hours before I get hungry again, believe or no.
Better to go clean the kitchen to make my hubby happy.
P.S. Legend lost to Regis last night, not terribly (23-25, 17-25, 19-25), but enough to be annoying. Jammer said she was nervous all day yesterday. With tears in her eyes, she actually asked my advice at the end of the night (and of course got annoyed after I gave her my two cents). Ever since she made it to 18 black at Front Range, and Jim told her that she jumps high enough to compete at that level, her drive to jump higher diminished. She has not working on her mind power either, to cut off those negative thought and believe in herself. Talk to coach from Tennessee, a sports factory, do we really want that?
I am going to cook BBQ tonight for Make A Wish at the Legend after the homecoming parade, if you don't have anything going on tonight, come join us for a fun and soul fulfilling night.
