I had the zany idea that I could fit the workout in before the baby went to sleep, and that he'd play happily in the living room while I pumped iron for the arms workout. That was mostly true. He was really interested in my bright blue hand weights from Target, and I had to pause a couple of times so that he could check them out. At one point, I set them on the ground, and he tried his best to pick one up, and then cried when it wouldn't budge. When I laid on the ground for one of the later moves, he crawled over and on top of me, so I also got to engage my core during that one. Bonus!
My main problem with this workout was that I meant to get a better selection of weights, but didn't have time, so I was stuck with 8-pounders for every exercise. That was fine for some, but definitely not enough for others. Next time, I'm either going to complete this workout at the gym using the book, or get more weights. Because my weight situation was less than ideal, I didn't record my reps.
On the subject of food, I ate way too many calories on accident. While out running errands, I grabbed lunch at Chipotle. Chipotle has this really great calorie calculator on their website, which I should have done BEFORE I ordered. Since I didn't do that, I ended up with a 770-calorie burrito bowl, and my diet for the day was 50 percent fat after lunch. Oops! I didn't eat anything else till dinner, when I tried to focus on protein, but I did go over my calories.
My food for the day:
- Breakfast
- One whole egg plus two whites with 4 slices of turkey bacon
- Steel cut oats with berries
- Lunch
- Chipotle burrito bowl: chicken, black beans, medium salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and lettuce
- Dinner
- Sliced chicken and top sirloin steak
- Frozen stir-fry veggies
- Homemade peanut butter, sriracha, hoisin and teriyaki sauce
