Legs & Abs: Ready or Not, here it comes.

Day 5 / 90
Phase 1 , Week 1 , Routine 5
Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
Weight:   289 lbs     -     Loss:   9 lbs
% Loss:   3 %     -     Rate:   0.75 %

I had planned this morning to try and keep the 3:30am wake-up time this morning despite the fact that today is not a work day. On my days off, I get my kids up at 7:00am to get ready for school. At 3:30am this morning I knew this and decided to change the alarm to 5:00am. At 5:00am I still did not want to get out of bed, but after a few minutes of contemplating my options, I managed to get up and get to my work out. I was pretty successful with the Legs & Back routine and I made it all the way through. I did have to lower the difficulty on the Total Gym about 1/3 through the routine so I could complete the Chin-up sets. This is the third day that the Ab Ripper routine was scheduled and I had to go for it the best that I could, as I had really been slacking on this routine the other two times. I finished the entire routine but could only achieve partial participation on most of the exercises and on a few of them I could not even get one rep. I felt like I achieved a much better cardio workout today than the two days prior, though.

Diet:

  • Crystal Lite - 20 cal.
  • Lean Pocket - 270 cal.
  • Lite Yogurt - 100 cal.
  • Chow Mein - 500 cal.
  • Baby Carrots - 70 cal.
  • Chicken Fresca Bowl - 640 cal.
Total: 1600 cal.
