In case I didn't do enough pull ups on Monday, Friday is kind enough to supply me with plenty more. Friday is legs and back day. Last week, I was sore all weekend from this workout. Hey there, hamstrings. Wakey wakey! But this week was not only a lot easier, but my legs felt great the next day! I also used weights on a lot of the lunges, which I didn't do last week. It's amazing what all these different kinds of lunges can do to your legs. My legs, fortunately, are already pretty strong, so I'm pretty sure they're going to look ripped a lot sooner than the rest of my body. As for my back, I'm still doing assisted pull ups, but it's a lot better because it allows me to use proper form and really work my muscles. I'm in no hurry to hurt myself, so, with the exception of reverse grip pull ups, which I can do a few of without assistance, I'm going to keep a toe on something. Something really interesting that I noticed is that now that I'm becoming familiar with the workouts, they are going by faster, which is pretty awesome.
For breakfast I made a strawberry-banana protein shake with vanilla protein powder. 'Twas delicious! For lunch, since it is traditionally Fat Ass Friday for my coworkers *coughCarrincough* and I, we decided to take a healthier route, and in my case try something new, so we went to the Veggie Grill down the street. I had the carne asada sandwich, which came with a small bowl of coleslaw. Of course, this is Veggie Grill, so the "carne asada" was not actually meat. But let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS! I felt a little guilty for having bread, but at least it was whole wheat, and I didn't have carbs with dinner. For dinner, my roommate Veronica and I met up with our coworker and his friends at the newly-opened Hot 'n' Juicy Crawfish. O. M. G. I'm just gonna say it. I ate a pound of shrimp. No regrets. YOLO. It was absolutely delicious! But do not fret! I asked the waiter which would be the least fatty sauce option. He suggested the Louisiana Style since it was the only one that barely used butter. And of course the shrimp was all protein. I also tried mussels and crawfish for the first time! My assessment of crawfish: too much effort for not enough meat. I will say, this was quite the (messy) experience!

Oh! I almost forgot! I also made a trip to Target and bought a kitchen scale!
