How many times have I always 'started on a Monday'?? Too numerous to count!..While I was doing my exercises this morning, I wondered why I was so excited to start this FLP :) However, after completing my routine.. I already feel better and more energized.. While I realize these first exercises weren't done with the best form, I realize that as I progress, that I will become better at them instead of feeling like I'm just flopping around :).
Exercise: FLP Week 1, Day 1
Cardio was on a small stepper with arms exercising in the air for the 2 minutes then walking outside for the next three.. completed 2 times.
Strength training:
I actually completed all three sets as described except for the 2ns set when I only completed 6 of the bench dips:
Prisoner squat -3 sets, 10 reps
Bench Step ups 3 sets, 10 reps.. (used a small step bench as I have arthritic knees and too many steps get them agravated)
Pushups 3 sets, 10 reps (once on a bench and twice against the wall)
Burpees 3 sets 10 reps ( I had difficulty with these as I have achillies tendonitis in my left ankle and it pulled it ..I might have to find another way to do these)
Bench Dips 3 sets, 10 reps ( bent knee, not performed real well..I'm surprised because I got to where i could do these with straight legs..however, I've finishing up with a bad viral infection and haven't exercised for 2-3 weeks..its surprising how quickly you can lose it if you don't use it!!)
Get ups 3 sets 10 reps ( they sure didn't look like Coach Rylan did them..but they got done!!!..as I was doing them.. I realized that our muscles seem to remember what we do and when I do these a few days.. hopefully I will get better with it)
I spent some time yesterday cooking my oatmeal for the week, cooked some turkey breast..prepared my breakfast, lunch and snack for work and know what I will eat tonite..From looking at the menu..doesn't look like I'll get hungry..I'll let you know..However,.. with me..I know it isn't just hunger..it is that 'grazing..appetite attitude)..we will work on that too..

1 C cooked oatmeal w/ 1T slivered almonds & 1T ground flaxseed, cinnamon and stevia & 1 chopped apple
SNACK: 10:30am
