Hi Shredheads!
May 29th, 2009Reshred Level 2, Day 3
May 30th, 2009Today’s a run day – I did my actual 5K course this morning, hills and all. It felt pretty good, and I finished in 30:19. I’m not 100% sure of the length though…I may have done a little extra. The course doesn’t actually close the loop, it veers off to finish in a parking lot. We’ll see. It has to be close, anyway.
I may Shred later. It does a body good!
Reshred Level 2, Days 1 and 2
May 29th, 2009OW.
I don’t remember level 2 being this hard! It still seems shorter than level 1, but boy are my shoulders tired. That last plank move at the end is pain.
I still love it.
Reshred Level 1, Days 6 and 7
May 28th, 2009Well, I only did Day 7…Day 6 we were travelling so I skipped it. Looking forward to Level 2, though. My shoulders are still really tired from the presses!
Reshred, Level 1, Days 4 and 5
May 21st, 2009Yeah, no post yesterday. Sue me. (please don’t)
Everything’s going fine, and I haven’t taken the days off I told you I would. Oh well. It feels good, so what can I say? Yesterday I did the pushups really slowly, and wow did they hurt. And I couldn’t do nearly as many, of course.
Today I ran 5K in 30:15, and then Shredded this afternoon. It’s addictive, but I’m having a problem figuring out how much extra food I should be eating to counteract the exercise. And I really should be drinking more water!
Reshred: Level 1, Day 3
May 19th, 2009Ran this morning – 5K in 30:27, so my 30 minute goal is getting closer!
Shredded this afternoon. Changed the pushups a bit, made them harder, only did 15 then 12. Felt like my arms were going to fall off. Everything else similar to before. Shred is good.
Reshred: Level 1, Day 2
May 18th, 2009No running today. Shred Level 1, 24 pushups, then 11 pushups. 5s for everything. Shoulder presses felt harder when I squeezed my elbows a little bit toward the middle. Front raises were HARD today. Continued doing straight leg lifts during chest flys.
My only problem is with the back exercise. It doesn’t really do anything. I need to modify that somehow.
Reshred: Level 1, Day 1
May 17th, 2009Wow – I’ve come a long way from the beginning of March. I ran 5k this morning (31:10) and then decided to Shred a couple of hours later.
I did 22 pushups the first set, 12 the second. 5s for everything, no dropping the weight. Jumping jacks and butt kicks were a little hard on the knees at first, but once I warmed up it felt better. No modifications required for anything.
I also added pike crunch things during the chest flys (like she does in No More Trouble Zones).
A Sample Menu
April 7th, 2009Here’s a sample of what I’m eating these days. I didn’t bother putting any amounts (except for breakfast, which is pretty standard) because it will vary based on gender, weight, how much you work out, etc. But it’s all reasonable portions, and is so healthy that it’s hard to overeat on pretty much any of it. Anything labeled as a meat is actually a vegetarian version. I recommend Morningstar farms for most stuff, but for chicken breasts and tenders (unbreaded) I recommend Quorn.
I didn’t put this in, but I also have been eating a couple of points worth of Weight Watcher’s treats – cakes or ice cream – throughout the day because without sweets, why should I go on?
Breakfast
- 1/2 to 2/3 cup egg beaters with onions, broccoli, and 2 tbsp parmesan
- 1 or 2 strips Morningstar Farms bacon
- 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese or yogurt
- Fruit
Snack (if I need it)
- Fruit
Lunch
- Broccoli and cauliflower sauteed in vegetable broth and garlic
- Chicken breast
- Fat free yogurt
- Fruit
Snack
- 94% fat free popcorn
- Fruit
Dinner
- Curry chicken (made with a sauce from a jar that I can’t recall and I’m out of, but it’s low fat mild curry and I add a little water to stretch it out; chicken pieces, garbanzos, lots of vegetables)
- Zatarain’s Caribbean Rice with chopped broccoli thrown in
- Cottage Cheese
- Green beans w/almonds (Green Giant steam in the bag ones)
The End…Or Is it?
April 4th, 2009I realized that I should probably point out to my ones of reader that instead of posting here, I’m now posting every other day at Kristen’s Shredheads site for Team Jillian.
In case you’re really bored, you can read my other blog at Daddy Is Tired.
So…off we go!
