Early morning start - awake by 4:30. I got decent sleep for being stressed by all the things going on. I changed into my workout clothes, grabbed the pups so they could go outside and do their business. It took about 10 minutes, but I had enough time to get to the gym before they opened. I brought the pups back into the room and told D I would be back around 6 with coffee and breakfast.
The gym was only 5 minutes from the hotel, super nice. I got there with a few minutes to spare. Here is my workout today.
10 minute elliptical warm up
4 sets single leg glute bridges
6 sets romanian deadlifts - 70# bar - bodyweight squats between sets
4 sets curtsy squats - 27.5# dumbbells
6 sets hip thrusters - 50#
4 sets roll outs
4 sets stability ball hamstring curls
10 minute jog
I got back to the hotel just after 6 and went to the lobby to grab breakfast. It certainly had a great variety. I grabbed for the pups - a bagel with peanut butter and a couple mini donuts. For D I grabbed a variety - 2 hard boiled eggs, waffle with syrup, bacon, mini donuts and coffee with lots of cream. That pile of bacon above we shared. I also had a tablespoon of coconut butter let so had that with my herbal tea. We finished, cleaned up and showered. We grabbed our things and hoped for the best, meaning power when we got home. Pups in the car, all checked out and off we went.
We arrived a few minutes later to see lights on around the block - YES!! POWER!! Out the car we went and into the house. Lights were on. I cleaned out the refrigerator as D headed to work and I finished breakfast by eating an avocado. I grabbed my shake for the day and headed to work.
Work paid for lunch - Yes again! I ate everything. I should mention about an hour after I got to work I made my shake and felt pretty good. I felt really good with this late lunch from Anita's Kitchen - Chopped salad with chicken, olives, an egg, tomato and cucumber. It was so filling and I was happy to have a good amount of food into me.
Derek was hungry when we both got home so we went to the Original Pancake House. I was still full so ordered a light dinner that I really intended to take home and eat later. It was pretty good - 2 eggs over easy and 2 sausage patties. It came with pancakes on the side which I boxed up for D for tomorrow's breakfast. So did all that lettuce really fill me up so much?! I feel decent right now. But ya know I really would like to drop about 10 pounds. I am happy with the strength I've gained and I can still run without being winded, but not happy with how my pants fit. How's that?!
So now I am debating about going to the farmers market again since I had to throw all the meat I got away. More veggies would be good too.
