Like Tony Horton says, "Variety is the spice of life!" so I did just that.  I changed up my cardio today and did Les Mills Combat: Power Kata.  Well, the kick start one that is about 30 minutes.  But let me tell you, it will work you hard!! Awesome moves: Boxing, Taw Kwan Do and Kong Fu I think! lol  

Check the links to the right of my blog and go to my site and search for Les Mills Combat! Its a fun kicking workout.

Today meals were as usual.  Sorry, I didn't have much time to log them here or at myfitnesspal. I have been working on some projects at home for some other ventures I am going into.  But I never neglect my fitness, even if I don't report.

Always make time for your workout.  Just like you brush your teeth every day (I hope you do!), eat and do stuff.  Get your workouts in!!

Workout today was Bulk Legs! Yes, the dreaded Legs workout was due today and it actually went very well.  I upped my weight and actually enjoyed it more than other days.  I think I like Bulk Legs better than I do Build Legs.  

Dinner today was this:

What is this?  

Salad: mixed salad with tomatoes, a few walnuts sprinkled over it and tomatoes with low fat Catalina dressing

On the other plate: Chicken breast, pan fried (with just a tiny bit of olive oil extra virgin, Mrs. Dash seasoning, steamed broccoli, chickpeas (Spanish style) and Brown Jasmine rice.  

Breakfast was the usual: Egg, egg whites, turkey bacon, 1/2 slice of fat free American cheese, coffee with almond milk and a slice of Ezekiel bread.

Workout Log

Bulk Arms today!! Love working arms! I want my arms to look fit and toned, not saggy and soft!! :) Working biceps and triceps will help with that!  

So I did today this routine:

Reps: 15, 12, and 10 for biceps and triceps.  I will get the break up in a little while and post it here.  But pretty much it was alternating between Biceps and Triceps moves.  Lots of progressive sets which means you move on to each rep with very little rest.  Killer.

Workout Log

Today's workout was Bulk Chest from Body Beast.  It always gets me and today my left arm was bothering me a bit so I had to lower the weights some but I got through it.  That's the goal:  We continue within a level of comfort when we feel that our body is bothering us some.  Adjust and keep on going.

Today's breakfast was:

1/4 cup of pasteurized egg whites

1 whole egg

1 slice of turkey breast slice

about 1 tsp  of skim ricotta cheese

1/2 slice of cheddar cheese fat free

1 slice of Ezekiel bread (any kind)

Lunch

1 scoop of Body Fortress Whey protein Vanilla

1/2 medium banana

4 ice cubes

1 cup of Almond milk unsweetened

cinnamon to taste

Snack:

1/2 medium banana
1 tablespoon of natural reduced fat peanut butter
3/4 cup of almond milk/coffee

Snack:

Star Six Protein bar small

Today's workout was Body Beast Bulk Back.  Wonderful workout but tough. It only lasts 29 minutes and a few seconds but don't let it deceive you.  Its tough!! Ouch!!  So worth it though.

Workout Log

Hello, everyone!! I finished packing some cookies for Father's Day and Graduation for my niece.  Now its time for my workout today:  Bulk Legs.  This one is hard one too and not always look forward to it, but I do it anyway.  

Breakfast ate already and am ready for Legs.  I haven't been able to update myfitnesspal.com log.  I hope that I can do it today.

Keep chugging along even if you don't feel like it.  You will feel better after you do it.  Trust me!! I do it all the time and am not always in the mood for working out.

Try to enjoy the process. Think of what results you will get and well you will look.  That may inspire you to keep going.  

Now, time to work legs!

Workout Log

Yes, its Monday... not an easy day of the week for many of us... but..

Today's workout was Bulk: Chest.  Love that one but it is very tough!  I am entering a new phase of Body Beast where the workouts are shorter but don't let that fool you:  they are HARDER!!  

So, done with that and I am also adjusting my eating for this month.  I was on high protein for 3 weeks, and now for 4 weeks, I will be adding a little more carbs to my diet.  It will be a 40/40/20, 40% Carbs, 40% Protein and 20% Fat.

I will be logging my foods soon on myfitnesspal.com.

How are you doing?  

Workout Log

Good day everyone!!  Today's workout will be cardio.  I am thinking of jogging, weather permitting.  Yesterday I did Build Legs and its a major ouch!!  Who likes to work Legs?  I sure don't!!  But can't have skinny legs with a muscular built body, right?

I am not liking much the way the recipe section is displaying, so I may change that in the near future!

Let me know how you are doing and leave some comments on my blog!! Love to hear from ya!!
