Didn't get to workout too much yesterday bc findlay is flooding again.  i went to the Y and got finished with some ab work and by the time I was on the treadmill i had to leave bc we could see out the window that more streets were getting blocked off and i didn't want to get stuck on an island.  although maybe if i had, then i would have gotten to workout ALL night lol.  oh well. i will definitely get some cardio in today. 

Didn't get to workout too much yesterday bc findlay is flooding again. Thats no excuse if that is happening go for a swim adapt to your environment  lol. Good to see you staying up on your journal keep up the good work!!!

I seriously considered it but I think we would've gotten arrested. Plus that river is really polluted.

Workout:
Since the Y was closed and the university's rec center wasn't open for working out, Bobbi and I walked 6.27 miles around town.  It was kind of rough.  I think I would have rather ran 3 or 4 miles bc my body is just not used to walking like that. But it was fun and I would do it again. We were talking about how it would be cool to be able to do a real ruck run when we're better able, but for tonight that was just not the case for me.

Diet:
7:30am pure protein bar
9:15am banana
10:30am yogurt and turkey w/cheese
12pm tiny slice pizza
1pm apple w/peanut butter
6pm bowl of corn
7:30pm broccoli and baked apricot chicken (the only good thing i can make from scratch)

another day of not working out bc the person at the Y told us it wasn't open when in fact it was but then i had to go to work.  I thought about running after work but its about 20 outside so that was a no go, plus after a night of serving its not like i really wanted to be on my feet any more.

Diet:
11am 3 eggs
2pm chicken and cheese, some nachos w/salsa (couldn't resist)
4:30pm tortilla soup
9pm breadstick
12pm turkey w/cheese, cup cottage cheese

I get to workout again today...finally.  I was starting to get used to working out almost everyday so taking 3 days off because of stupid findlay flooding again was starting to bug me.  I almost forgot that I had missed my leg lifting day so I'll do that and prob run a short bit.  it's kind of weird that I'm so pumped for this.

Workout:
Ran 1 mile to get warmed up, but still ran quickly because I want to get faster

Leg Press 45 + 25 plate on either side  3x8
SLDL 115lbs 3x8 (tried to bump up to 135lbs but my back felt too tight to get it done properly)
Seated Calf Raises 60lbs 3x15 superset w/ bw standing calf raises x 25
Leg Extension 80lbs 3x8
Leg Curl 70lbs 3x8

Upped most of my weights for the day so I'm pretty happy with my workout

Diet:
10am slim rite
11:30am oatmeal w/ brown sugar
1pm pure protein bar
2:30pm ground turkey, noodles, peas (haha mixed in one dish bc I'm odd and like it)
10:30pm leftover ground turkey, noodles and peas

Tuesday's workout:

ran 3 miles on the treadmill

Workout:
Ran 1mile then biked 1.5 miles then got back on the treadmill to run another mile.  Not the best workout day but I managed to still get myself to do some cardio

Diet:
ate like ****.  I really need to get back into things as far as diet goes bc i would hate to blow it bc I didn't get my food together

omg not having access to the internet has been killing me!!!! but i have still been working out just like before and trying to eat well too.  The diet hasn't been going as well because I haven't been able to get groceries for a while and its hard to eat well without money.  I haven't completely killed the diet but it's weird because I was getting into a pretty good routine with my meal times and i liked knowing what I was going to eat for the day. now i just eat at random and usually whatever is around the house.  bleck. anyway i think im still making pretty good progress towards my goals and im excited to take new pics at the end of the competition to see if i look any diff/better.  Also, i decided the other day while running on the treadmill that i want to continue to get back into shape and work even harder after this transformation contest because i want to play soccer again in the summer. i have a coach back home that puts together a tournament team each summer and we go around and whoop up on everyone. (prob. not fair because we're all collegiate soccer players from good schools - its like picking an all star team to play regular teams haha) anyway i haven't played in a year and just recently starting working out again.  i don't want to play and look like **** so im going to work really hard not just at lifting but running sprints, distance, plyos, and i have to do some drills come spring.  im pumped! ok thats all. done

ok back on track. here we go.
