Monday, Week 6

The Rock Climbing was awesome exercise. It was a great workout for the upper body (especially the back) and the lower body as well. I had been contemplating down the legs workout today, but I will definitely stick to cardio to give my muscles a break. Also, today I will make sure to have a high protein intake. I cooked a pasta creation yesterday and portioned it out, so I'll be having that for lunch most of this week.

I just noticed that my calorie intake has been too low. I'm going to make some adjustments so that I hit at least 1000 calories today.

Food:
Breakfast: IsoPure (75)
Snack: Yogurt (55)
Lunch: Chicken Pasta Creation (170), Salad (20), Turkey (20)

Pre-Workout: 4 oz Blue Naked Juice (85)
Post-Workout: IsoPure (100)
Dinner: Tilapia (100), Chicken Pasta Creation (170)
Snack: Pear (100)
Total: 1080

Exercise:
Stretching: Throughout day
Walk: 15 min walk (with stairs) at work after lunch
Walk: 10 min walk from work to car
Treadmill: 25 min, 2.35 mi total - 1 min warm up (3.6mph, .05 mi), 19 min run for 1.77 mi (started at 5.4mph, switched to 5.5mph after 8 min, switched to 5.6mph at 10 min, switched to 6mph at 15 min, still had lots of energy, kept going up to 6.4mph until the 19 min mark), then did intervals until 23 min for 2.25 mi total (not counting warm-up), cool-down for a min (3.6mph for another .05 mi)
Abdominal: 21 leg lifts, 70 misc crunches

The work-out today was insane! The whole day I had been sluggish. Then, I finally gained some energy and went to run. I had so much energy. I don't know where it came from! And, my flexibility improved a ton today. I was able to hold the front split with the right leg forward for 10 seconds, twice. And, I was able to get all the way down with the left leg forward, too. On the side split, I was able to reach all the way forward with my head down all the way touching the carpet, holding it for 20 seconds. Very baffling. I was expecting a lack-luster workout. Who hoo!
