Today was another ‘blah’ day. I only got ~6,5000 steps in instead of 10,000. I was going to go on a walk before or after dinner, but the motivation just wasn’t there.
I did have an amazing workout though. I walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes to warm up, then did another leg workout from the (1st) Fit & Functional Home Guide (Week 1 Day 2). However, this time I adjusted some of the movements to accommodate my arm.
I did Banded Toe Taps instead of Fire Hydrants, I did 20 Jump Lunges instead of 10, and I did 20 Seated Band Abductions instead of Up & Overs. I also haven’t been going super heavy on the weights. I tried using both 20lb dumbbells for the Sumo Squats, but had to drop one of them for the last set just because it started to feel risky. It didn’t necessarily hurt my arm, but it just felt off. Better to be safe than sorry.
I tried something new for breakfast. I was inspired, again, by Feeding the Frasers and made my own version of the Chili Cheddar Avo Toast(ada), except I didn’t use a tortilla (sourdough English muffin) and I don’t have chili onion crunch oil.
This may seem basic, and it is, but I have a love/hate relationship with tomatoes and I was a bit hesitant. I only like them on sandwiches or burgers, I can’t eat them plain or without other ingredients to disguise the flavor. Surprisingly though, this was actually really good. I used 1 whole egg for one and egg whites for the other, and sprinkled some Everything but the Bagel seasoning.
I did almost go on a mini bender after dinner, that’s when my snacking is the worst, but thanks to some popcorn I was able to stop myself before it got too bad. I had some chocolate chips and probably a Tablespoon of peanut butter before I decided to just pop some popcorn and call it a day. Which I would call a win.
