Hey, it's totally bedtime, so this will be quick. Here goes:
The Workout: Hard Core
As you can probably assume, Hard Core is a core
workout. There were no sit-ups or
crunches at all, which I appreciated since I hate sit-ups and crunches. Instead, there were a lot of plank- and side
plank-based moves. There were also
exercises designed to work the lower back and the hip flexors. Thanks mainly to TRX, I’ve been noticing that
my abs are getting stronger. This means
that even though I did eventually have to switch into the modified versions of
the plank moves, I could start almost all of them in the original position and
could stay in the original position for longer than I expected. Overall I thought it was a really good,
complete core workout. Although, maybe
it was just my perception after waking up at 5am, but Jay did seem a little extra
perky right off the bat (during the very first move: “Come on! We’re warming up! Oh yeah, this is the warm-up! Did you think this was the workout?!” No, Jay.
No one thought this was the workout.).
Breakfast: Strawberry peanut butter taco and turkey bacon.
This was really good!
I’ve been on kind of an almond butter kick lately, so the peanut butter
was a nice change.
Lunch: Chicken with broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
Snack 1: String cheese
and grapes.
This was light enough that I didn’t mind eating it just an
hour before TRX (usually I don’t like to eat less than 2 hours before class).
Snack 2: Low-sodium Triscuits with Smucker's Simply Fruit peach fruit spread.
I was just feeling kind of snacky.
Dinner: Pork chops with black beans.
Kevin got barbecue sauce beans, but barbecue sauce has a lot of sugar in it so I didn't want to have it. Instead, I had fancy ketchup beans, which were fine.
I also had about 60 oz of water during the day, which is almost unheard of for me. I'm really working on getting enough water consistently. Before bed, I had some gummy vitamins. You know how I roll.
