I have been much more strict with my eating this week. I already notice a huge difference in how I feel. Some of my staple snacks are green apples and almond butter, grass fed whey protein shake w/ flaxseed oil, hardboiled eggs, and raw nuts. Trying to eliminate simple sugars all together. It can be very tough when you are always hungry and constantly snacking. While breastfeeding you also tend to feel that you never have enough food. I've really been able to track my eating very well with this great online nutrition tracker. It's free to use and very helpful. Thedailyplate.com is what I've been using. I know there are others out there but this one seems to track the foods the easiest with a good amount of detail.
My workout yesterday for 3/19 was raised up a couple notches. Already feeling like my strength is coming back.
Every thing below were Supersets. I am feeling a bit sore in my legs and upper back. Nothing too bad.
1.Leg Press 90lb 10 x 3
Calfs on leg Press 90lb 20 x 3
2. Leg Extensions 50lb 10 x 3
Laying down Leg Curls 25lb 10 x 3 (i have always hated this exercise)
3. Assisted Pull Ups -75lb 8 x 3 (used to be able to do 3-5 pull ups with no assistance right before the pregnancy)
Chest Flys 15lb 10 x 3
4. Bicep Curls 15lb 10 x 3
Tricep Pull down 30lb 10 x 3
5. Military Press 15lb 8 x 2
Crunches on Decline 10 x 2
6. Back Extensions 15 x 2
Plank Hold 60sec x 1 30 sec x 1
Pretty zapped after this workout so did not have the energy for any type of cardio. Only got about 4 hours of sleep because of baby. Since I skipped today all together with working out I am hoping to get a nice kettlebell workout in tomorrow.
