Day Two: lower body

Today was the second day of my body makeover! So far so good :)
I must say that my yummiest meal is breakfast! Blueberries in your oatmeal = parade in my mouth! And I also get egg whites so I'm left feeling all kinds of full and satisfied! I'm not used to a big breakfast so this is kinda nice. Instead of going straight to the gym I figured it would be more beneficial for my studies to go to the library for a little while and then after lunch go do my workout. if I don't manage to get the lib until 11am or noon and know that I have to sit here, uninterrupted, until after the sun goes down I get: (1) depressed/sad/whiny; and (2) I quit after like 5 hours. So instead I did library from 8:30pm - 3:30pm, then gym and now I'm back at the lib. BUT, on the bright side, this is the last night that Chastec Library will ever steal from me! so ha! (and obvi I'm working my fingers to the grind since I'm blogging...) So back to my workout
Today was legs day....so here's how it went: 4 rounds of....
5 minutes bike (warm up)
(1) 45 degree leg press: 60 lbs, 15 reps
(2) plie squats: 22.5 lbs, 20 reps
(3) seated leg curl: 35 lbs, 15 reps
(4) laying leg curl: 30 lbs, 15 reps each leg
(5) standing calf raises: body weight 15 reps
(6) seated calf raises: 20 lbs, 15 reps.
After each circuit I did 5 minutes hard on the bike at level 10 while attempting to pump my legs with the rhythm of the music. Unlike yesterday with arms, I was literally tasting my own sweat by the time I got off the bike the second round. Arms were hard but this was harder. My legs felt like jello during the curls and presses, and my calves...lets just say that if I have any mobility in my calf muscles tomorrow I'll be thankful! Thank god tomorrow is a 40-45 minute cardio day. The plan said that if you want an extra push, on a leg day don't alternate cardio machines and just bike because it'll tax your leg muscles that much more. Yep. They were right.
The bright spot was when I got home and made my yummy peanut butter/whey protein/plain yogurt shake! And now I'm about to have my chicken, broccoli, salad, tortilla dinner. It's actually pretty delicious.
Well...off to do something with myself that pertains to wills & trusts :) Thanks for listening
