After my afternoon walk yesterday, I was shattered, passing out on the couch two hours before I planned on going to bed . . . Sleeping for 14 hours! Woke feeling like crap, but got myself ready to head into another day . . .
pm
Cardio 20 min.
Abs/Hamstrings (1 min recovery between sets/supersets):
Superset A -
1. Hanging Straight-Leg Raises/Curls 4 x 10
2. Deadbugs (on bench) 4 x 10
3. Stiff-Legged BB Deadlifts 4 x 10
4. BB Good Mornings 4 x 10
Superset B -
5. Weighted Rope Crunches 4 x 10
6. Plank 4 x 1 min
Post-Weights Cardio 20 min.
Stretch 20 min.
Pre-weights cardio was fine . . . Pain, pain, pain, during resistance training - right from the first superset. Hamstrings were stretched and painful to the max, and were screaming by the end of the first exercise. Abs continued screeching through Superset B . . . Post-weights cardio, surprisingly, was done at a high pace, legs feeling fresh (interesting) . . .
Energy through the rest of the day was fine. Even went for another afternoon walk.
Still on the carbohydrate bandwagon, with an insistent craving for pancakes, of all things.
Despite that, mood is good - probably in part that my baby sister is visiting for a few days. Great to see family, especially when my immediate family is spread out all over the world!
I am noticing that adding post-weights cardio back in is making a difference - I noticed that when I first started doing it as well, especially re progress with fat loss. Definitely makes it more manageable . . .
