The 22nd day. Today I worked legs with my gym buddies. We went kinda heavy today, and I'm not even feeling it yet. This is what we did:
Walking lunges (3 set, 35 lbs pre-loaded barbell)
Squats (135 - 12 reps, 225 - 10 reps, 275 - 6 reps, 135 - 12 reps)
Superset:
Single-Leg, Leg Extensions (2/10, 1/15)
Single-Leg, Leg Curl (3/10)
Then, just for kicks, we decided to run/walk a mile. Yeah, a mile. So, off to the treadmill for the mile. I completed my mile in about 12 minutes, give or take 30 seconds. So, at that point, my legs were completely done.
I ate a lot of food today. At least a lot for me. I finally indulged in meat on a weekday! It was good.. I wound up eating about 8-12 ounces of meat. It was so good. I think my body is starving for more calories. So, my goal is to attempt to ingest more healthy calories during the day.
Oh yeah! I've been challenged by a good friend of mine, Harlem Red. I think she wants to get in on this workout journey. But when I find out specifics, I'll be sure to post about it. I'm not sure how long I'm going to be able to keep this up. I think my body is starting to break down on me. We shall see though. Time to let my body rest. G'Night!

Hey Sinnamon! I'm really proud of you and know that if anyone can set goals and stick to them, and kick some ass on the side, it's you! Meanwhile, don't forget You challenged Me! So yesterday was "Day 1" for me and because you challenged me in the afternoon, I needed closure on my food, lol, can't just switch off like that, so I admit I took advantage of my free Jr. Frosty coupons, and finalized my closure by having some sour cream pound cake. Forgot I had a google account and didn't log in until today. Didn't do too bad with my other meals - I'm already having oatmeal for breakfast to keep the milk supply up, though lunch was Chinese food leftovers, but dinner was salmon with green beans and baby potatoes, and a couple of forkfuls of pasta and two small meatballs. I'm not in a gym but can improvise using cans of Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup, the furniture, jogging in place, running after the baby. Because I'm still breastfeeding I can't restrict calories too much, but I can eat bigger quantities of healthier food. Instead of just eating healthy in front of the baby I will do so when she's not around, and amp up the water, supplementing with healthy snacking to keep a satisfied feeling and avoid overdoing portions during main meals. Will try to get more exercises in discreetly. I'm following your lead by doing my weigh-ins on Mondays, and a cheat day. Which works with "Taco Night." Not giving out the weight though it wasn't much more than my pre-pregnancy weight; like you I'll say how much up or down. Reading your blog will be a huge motivation!
Meals "Day 2" -
Breakfast - oatmeal
Lunch - can of bootleg pasta & meat sauce
Dinner - eggplant (Trader Joe's has a frozen box for lots of recipes) with a bit of sauce and cheese, broccoli
