So as the title explains, I am super sore from the workout yesterday. I am more sore around my abs and back. Now I was supposed to do a cardio circuit last night, however I decided to do yoga with my mother. I believe that this was the reason why my abs hurt so much. My arms were not so bad, but Paula said that her triceps were a little sore.
Today, we worked on abs just like yesterday and then chest/shoulders. The abs was actually a little easier than yesterday even though it hurt because I was sore. It helped when I counted by 10's and took like a second break after each ten. I have noticed that if you can break up the repetitions or count them by fives or tens, it is a little bit easier. So those 3 sets of 50 went by much quicker.
For our chest and shoulders, me and Paula had to decrease the weight because it went from three sets to four. We wanted to be able to finish each exercise and not over exert ourselves. My suggestion for today's workout would be to decrease weight especially if you are sore or new to the workout. Just remember that you have a few weeks to raise that weight up.
As for food, I did pretty well yesterday. For lunch, I ate a grilled chicken sandwich for Chick Fil A without the bread, but it had provolone cheese, tomato, and lettuce. Instead of fries, I got the parfait with granola which was really good. I did have a sprite because I had an upset stomach but water or crystal light are usually my drink of choice. For dinner, I splurged and ate a leftover half eaten burrito from Chuy's (thanks Alex) with some sour cream. It was just enough to fill me up. Today, I had the same breakfast which was a meal bar from South Beach diet (before my workout) and then a bowl of Special K original when I got home.
Well that is all I have for today, I must take a nap before work. Tomorrow is our day off so no workout blog.
Take care and have a terrific day!
