Today's workout was Upper Fix Extreme. Can I tell you, I did not get my ass out of bed. I even thought about not doing my workout because it's "only upper body." Once I got up, dressed, and was ready to workout, my wife called from Africa. Her first question was if I worked out yet, then she made me hang up until I worked out. Even from Africa she was super supportive. So, I got it done. Push ups and dolphins killed me. I cannot plank to save my life; it is really hard for me. However, I was super excited when I could hold myself up and do tricep dips. These are so hard for me, and while I couldn't lift my leg, I could at least keep my butt in the air. Definite win for the last time I'm doing this workout in a while. I'm pretty sure tricep dips are going to come back in before I revisit 21 Day Fix Extreme though.
Breakfast was the same as yesterday, but I added a banana. It was just as good as it was yesterday. I don't know how I feel about microwaved eggs, but it is good that I'm eating a nutritional breakfast before I go to work.
Here's a picture of the salad I talked about yesterday, and it was just as good today as it was yesterday. You can't see a whole lot of what's in the salad, but at least you get a decent idea. It's super yummy.
Dinner was Honey Lime Sriracha Chicken with green beans and yellow squash. It was also super yummy. The chicken was excellent, but it was not as spicy as I thought it would be. We think that maybe it needed to be marinated overnight and eaten right off of the grill. The squash is also grilled, but the green beans are roasted.
For dessert, I had reese's peanut butter cups. Yes, I had a treat, but I was also spot on with my nutrition throughout the day. I go by the 80/20 rule; otherwise I'm going to crash and burn. So, today was a good day. Now, to do it again tomorrow. I'm hoping by the time I complete Focus T25 Alpha, this is a habit and it doesn't become so hard to get up in the morning.
Here's to hoping!!
