okay, I know I was supposed to start on Saturday, but I had to unexpecedly go out of town with some girlfriends, so I started today. I went to the gym at 5:30am and did smith machine for 6 sets 2X16 reps, 2X12 and 2X10, with weight added each time I went down. I also did 3 sets of walking lunges with 15 lbs weights and worked my shin muscles. I didn't do calves, because I also highland dance and they get lots of exercise.
My diet wasn't great, but not too bad.
Breakfast - 1 poached egg on 1 carraway rye toast with 1/4 tsp Becel Omega 3. seared zuchini with a bit of sea salt and garlic. Hot lemon water to start the day. Also had fruit, 1/2 orange, 1/2 kiwi, handful grapes 2 strawberries.
lunch - left over homeade stroganoff, fresh vegis with a little light ranch.
snack - the same thing
dinner - homemade lean chilli with whole wheat pasta, and homemade pasta salad with vegis. Probably had a little too much pasta, but not as much as a whole plate full for sure.
We are all staying in tonight for a family night, my legs feel like rubber and I'm tired. Gotta love the first day of legs!!!!
I also did 1/2 of walking on incline at 4. I would have jogged, but my shin splints need to heal, and my legs were very wobbly. Probably will be able to jog tomorrow. If not, I'll probably do the stair machine or the eliptical.
