This morning's workout was shoulders and arms. If you remember, last week I used 7.5 lb weights for triceps and shoulders and 10 lbs for biceps. Well, today I used 10 lbs for tris and shoulders and 15 lbs for biceps! And it felt awesome! I was really proud of myself and pretty excited about it! The Ab Ripper X is still kicking my ass, but I'm getting closer to being able to do the full 25 for each exercise! Overall I was really happy with today's workout!
Since I still hadn't gotten more egg whites, I decided to go with another protein shake today. The protein powder I use was on sale at the gym today, so I bought some more, this time chocolate instead of strawberry. So I made a strawberry chocolate smoothie using fresh strawberries, the chocolate protein powder, and vanilla soy milk. For lunch, I went with my coworker to a small industry event to try to do some networking. It was a showcase called Canadian Blast put on by Creative Control, a music supervising company. Basically, there was all you can eat chinese food and live music by artists looking to get represented or placed. Oh and they were Canadian, eh. We watched Steph McPherson, and I have to admit, she was really good! Check her out! Anyway, I made a tuna salad and brought it for lunch, and I was going to get some salad greens and vegetable soup at Trader Joe's to go with it, but since we went to this at lunch time, and I really needed to eat then, I had to eat at the event. I know what you're thinking... "You gave in! You pigged out!" Well, basically, I made the best of the situation. I ate almost only proteins (chicken, beef broccoli, shrimp) and honestly did not eat a lot at all. The only "give in" was that I had a little bit of vegetable chow mein, but I just can't eat Chinese food without chow mein! I ate so little there, in fact, that I was still hungry when we got back, so I ate the tuna salad, just not with anything else. For dinner, I left out carbs since I had them for lunch, so I improvised a strange salad consisting of turkey and my usual SMOs (it's a thing). It was good, though!
Can you believe this is what it looked like when I opened the brand new tub of protein???
In other news, I got a hair cut tonight. In keeping with all these changes I'm making, I decided to try something new. It's cool that I'm friends with my hair guy. We discussed different options, and I even changed directions a little midway through and decided to be a little adventurous. So here is a glimpse at the new do. Basically, it's short on the sides and long on top. I'm still going to play around with different styles, but this is pretty much a basic comb over. I'll try to get some more pics later.
