Alright, I've made it through the first week, so now I've cycled back to Chest & Back. The workout definitely went by faster, and I'm pretty sure I was able to do a few more pushups than last week, though I can't say the same for my back with pull ups. After exerting a lot of energy on my "rest day" yesterday, I think my body was still tired and recovering. But I made it through and did my Ab Ripper X as well. The abs were a little tougher than last week, but I also discovered that I'm supposed to do abs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I was only doing Monday and Wednesday. Hopefully they will really start building up after this week when I start working them three days a week.
When it came time to make breakfast, I realized I didn't have any more egg whites... so I improvised a breakfast and had a bowl of Kashi cereal with soy milk and cooked a soy sausage. Not glamorous, but nutritious nonetheless. I decided I was lazy and didn't make a lunch, so Carrin and I went to Subway, where I got a 6" sweet onion chicken teriyaki on 9 grain wheat with no cheese. I know what you're thinking, and no, it wasn't enough. But it's all about control and portion size. Though I didn't make a lunch, I did however, slice up half a cantaloupe, so I had that after Subway.
After work, I went to support my dear friend and brother, Christopher, by attending the Stonewall Democrats meeting to vote to endorse the mayoral candidate for whom he works, Wendy Gruel. This meant postponing dinner... I thought I was going to pass out from hunger. It's amazing how much my metabolism has sped up in just two weeks. I feel like I get hungry just an hour after eating! Anyway, when I got home, I got to cooking right away. I made a steak with sautéed mushrooms and onions (you'll start to notice that I love sautéing mushrooms and onions with just about everything) and brown rice. It was quite delicious! I couldn't finish the whole steak, which is good since I actually made a little too much (which I know because I weighed it on my nifty scale!), so Max was kind enough to help me finish it. He's such a good friend :)
