Well . . . Tuesday went by in a blur. I started with 2 clients in the morning - one at 7am and one at 8am. Of course I ate breakfast beforehand . . . my protein shake and some Mighty Tasty cereal and a cup of tea. I ate a Mojo Bar at 9am so I could make it through kickboxing without bonking. Then I went home after class and had the leftover soup (cod and kale) with some crackers and goat cheese and another cup of tea. It was snowing! I had to get back to the studio by noon to get a phone interview done. We're trying to hire another trainer. I had another client at 1pm and another one at 2pm. Then I had a break from 3pm to 3:30. I ate a sandwich with some of the leftover olive bread that we had with the soup on Sunday night and the leftover turkey as well. It was quite good! At 3:30, I had a client who has to bring her 3rd grade daughter int o the studio with her. She is a Brownie, so she is selling Girl Scout Cookies right now. Of course, I had to buy some. But never fear . . . I donated the entire case to the Troops! Thank you, Girl Scouts, for giving us that choice! I had another client at 4:30 and then SahRang Heem Do testing at 5:45. I end my Tuesdays with kickboxing at 6:30, so I don't get home until about 7:45 or 8pm. My husband had to cover a basketball game at Discovery Canyon Campus, so he didn't get home until about 10:15pm. So I fixed a small, top round steak for myself and added some sugar snap peas on the side.
On Wednesday, I have my BNI meeting from 7:30 until 9am. Yes, I ate breakfast beforehand and was not even interested in the breakfast fare that they provide at the meeting. Afterwards, I stopped at home and fixed my second breakfast which consisted of 2 whole eggs fried over some wheat toast and a cup of tea. Then I had kickboxing class at 10:30. My next client was at noon, so I didn't eat until after that appointment and I just had some celery with peanut butter because I wanted to work out. I was still kind of sore after Monday's workout, so I went a little lighter today:
Stability ball lying hamstring curls, 4 sets of 15 reps
1-leg straight-legged deadlifts, 20#, 3 sets of 10 reps each side
Pullovers
10 reps, 20#
8 reps, 25#
6 reps, 30#
3 sets of 4 reps, 35#
I tried to do a bench press today, but my shoulder was not cooperating. Even at 65#, it was barking, so I stopped.
Hyperextensions
10 reps, body weight
10 eps, 10#
8 reps, 15#
6 reps, 17.5#
3 sets of 4 reps, 20#
Tricep kickbacks, 2 sets of 15, 10#
Concentration curls, 5 sets of 5 reps, 25#
That was it. After doing a kickboxing class and still feeling Monday's workout, that was enough. I ate right afterwards and had an orange, some of the beef from last night, some more snap peas, some homemade baba ganoush with cucumbers and black olives. It sounds like a lot, but it was really a little bit of everything. Then I had my last 2 clients of the day at 3pm and at 4pm. Then I had a new client consultation at 5:30. I got home about 6:15 and fixed pork chops with roasted broccoli and half of a baked sweet potato. And I enjoyed a glass of Apothic Red wine.
Today, we had a client bonk. She had eaten breakfast at 8am (what?) and then nothing until she came in to work out at 3pm. She got light headed and weak and we had to provide a Vitamin Water for her so she wouldn't pass out on us. I can't stress enough how important it is to eat . . . and to eat often . . .and to eat well. Your body needs fuel . . . good, quality fuel in order to function properly every day. Don't starve yourself!
