Fitness Update // Leg work is hard

Fitness Update // Leg work is hard

Monday: Power Lifts
Tuesday: PT leg session
Wednesday: Chest
Thursday: Cardio leg flexibility
Friday: Rest day
Saturday: Circuits and back and shoulders
Sunday: Rest day

Had a good week at the gym, did everything on my program, even the cardio session! I am starting to see a difference in the leg flexibility work I’ve been doing. It’s almost as if I’ve stripped the squat right down and built it up again, but forcing myself to go lower. While I was training with higher weights before, I’m now doing lower weights but going lower. The last couple of inches of my squat are weak, so it’s about building that up.

I’ve gained 3lbs in August. I’ve not been great at weighing myself and keeping myself accountable.

I need to start tracking my food before 3lbs becomes half a stone.

I know some might be muscle gain, but I have been eating crap, too. This happens when I stop weighing myself daily. It’s like I go into denial. You get told not to weigh every day but it’s so helpful to me.

So next week:

  • Weigh daily. FACE YOUR PROBLEMS.
  • No cooked breakfasts at work.
  • Stop saying YES to free chocolate at work.

Dinners at work will be:

  • Spanish chicken soup.
  • Flaked salmon and veg.
  • Grilled chicken breast and veg.

Snacks at work will be:

  • Apples
  • Clementines
  • Beef jerky
  • Yogurt

Those all my rules. I must stick to them.
