Today I have to give a presentation for my business communications class. I hate doing these things, but it's a group project and thankfully my portion is fairly short. I hope none of us screw up too badly though. I tend to draw blanks and I get that pounding heart when my section is approaching. I can't wait for this crap to be overwith!
On a brighter note, I can feel myself getting stronger and leaner. I started the "Original" TT workout yesterday, and I like it! Aside from a warm-up and warm-up superset, there are only two main supersets. The second superset is reverse lunges and 1-arm shoulder presses. I liked this combo! I was really sweatin' towards the end. Then I did my 20 mins of intervals and I was ready to hurl! But in a good way! ;) I've been getting better and better at pushing myself HARD for these, and I think it's helping me A LOT. I know I have a lot of endurance and can go for hours and hours at a moderately high pace, but I need more explosive power and short-bursts to really make a difference. I can finally feel that happening. And this is after just one month!
My nutrition has been pretty stellar. I bought a TON of fruits and veggies to eat this week and surprisingly they are almost gone! I'll through them all by the end of the week. My Trader Joe's cart was quite colorful: apples, oranges, tomatoes, blackberries, strawberries, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, artichoke, kiwis, spinach, carrots, bananas, cucumber, and holy cow that's a lot of produce. When you're shooting for 10+ servings a day, that's what it takes! Yesterday's food intake went like this:
Breakfast: Omellete with 1 Omega-3 egg, egg whites, spinach, onion, tomato, mushrooms, and olives; and an orange
Snack: lowfat cottage cheese, blackberries, walnuts
Lunch: spinach salad with pecans, feta cheese, cucumber, strawberries, carrots, raspberry vinaigrette dressing
Snack: protein shake w/ water; apple; almonds
PW drink: choco-milk
Dinner: Top sirloin; asparagus; edamame; and a little low-fat/low-sugar ice cream :)
After dinner I made "chicken & chickpeas" for lunch today, along with some broccoli. I felt good at the end of the day, but all that cooking was a bit time consuming. I don't mind too much though because I didn't feel like studying and I could still watch Family Guy while I was in the kitchen. :D
