Dammit, so I jumped on the scale downstairs at work today and it said 152. grrrrrrrrrr.... Ok tonight.... I am going to start measuring my waist and arms and legs with the measurer I bought and start using that as a gage too. there's no way I'm not making progress....
Couple of tweaks for this week. Got some new supplements and vitamins: Here's what I'm going for this week
- Hydroxy cut - 3 capsules twice a day
- Revolution Abdominal Cuts - 3 capsules once a day (ok I'm a sucker - the bottle was pretty)
- Cayenne Pepper - 500 mg - 1 capsule after workout
- Vitamin E - 400mg - 1 capsule after workout
- Vitamin C - 1000mg - 1 chewable tablet after workout
- Flaxseed Oil - 1 tablet after workout
- I also purchased the Dreamweaver and thermogenic Push for Women today online.. https://www.revolutionlifestyle.com/shop/cart.html so I guess I'll start those whenever I get them in the mail.
So you might be thinking - wow that's a lot of vitamins...well guess what? ... I'm thinking that too. . Plus I just bought the other 2 this morning - after this, yeah - I'm going to stop adding to the list and just take what I have and stick to it. can't have overkill on vitamins.
For workouts this week - I'm going to start doing my squats on the Bosu ball and up the number of reps this week. I think it's a good time to bring up my circuits from 2 to 3 circuits for weight training. My concern is that right now, it takes me about 45-60 minutes to finish my abs workout and 2 circuits of my full body training workout. If I bump that up to 3, I'll probably be looking at 60-90 minutes just on weight training and that doesn't leave a lot of time for Cardio afterwards. So my options this week are to stay at the gym for 2+ hours or really plan out some crazy sessions - go hard at the strength training 3 times a week and go hard at the cardio 3 times a week on seperate nights. ouch my body is going to be sore this week :) can't wait!
As for eating habits, my brother is going to ruin me. He just came back from his summer in France last Wednesday and has all these delicious sounding recipes and he is quite a good cook. So at first, I was bummed, because I do want to try these delicious sounding meals, but know they are way off from my proper diet. So we worked it out! He's going to make them on my cheat meal - that way I get to try them and then we're going to put a healthy spin on it so we can continue to make it during the week! It's a win win. I'm pretty happy. I also need to make sure I'm snacking right - I've been skimping on my snacks and sometimes dinner last week so no more... need to fuel my system for these crazy workouts this week. I'm ready.

So after thinking about my workout routines, I do believe I'm working at the gym pretty hard and don't think the extra 4 lbs that came onto my body over the weekend was from food or fat, rather, I think my body is retaining water. After looking at my diet, the vietnamese noodle soups and thai spicy noodle soup and the chicken breast I've been having is packed with Sodium. I have been pounding down water so I don't think that's an issue, but I do think I'm going to have to cut back my sodium intake to under 900mg per day... I think that should be enough.... we'll see by the end of the week to see if it helps... if not, then I'll just cut back more.
Workout
No workout tonight. I'm going to go food shopping so I can start bringing in my own lunch and eat low sodium foods (forever)... I'm also going to try to catch up on some rest as I'm exhausted and I read somewhere if you can undo everything at the gym if you're not sleeping enough. so sleep I will tonight.
