Alright, back from the gym... Since I have not seriously worked out since May, I decided to take it easy. I'm going to slowly re-introduce my body to working out. Weights were chosen so that I would be tired out after 3 sets of 8-10 reps for each exercise.
Today's focus was upper-body. Midsection will be happening tomorrow and then Lower Body on Tuesday.
10 minutes of cardio, keeping my pulse around 150 beats/minute.
3x10 Flat Dumbell press
3x8 Military Press
Rotator cuff exercises (tore mine once!)
3x8 Back rows
3x6 Lat Pull downs ... by now I was already feeling totally exhaused.
10 minutes of cardio, keeping my pulse at 175 beats/minute.
8 minutes of stretching
I was not hungry as I left the gym but by the time I got home, I was starving. Luckily, no bad foods were around or we could have had a real gorging episode. Here is what I ate:
-1 handful of almonds
-1 Can of canned Maple Leaf Salmon salad (about 200 calories)
-1 boiled chicken breast w/o the skin with 1/2 a fresh onion, 1 tbsp of freshly-pressed lemon juice and 1 tbsp of ketchup as dip.
-1 Granny Smith apple
-1/2 a lime that I cut in quarters and just munched on.
-200 mL's of 1% milk enriched with Vitamins A and D
It's light compared to my usual high-fat, high-calorie lunches. I have a feeling I'll be wanting a snack in about an hour. I also realized I have not eaten any green vegetables, so that'll be coming up tonight for supper.
