Workout and Food Log

[Rachel Benedick]

Workout:

6 sets of 2 deadlifts at 200 lbs., getting ready for my new PR on Friday, hoping to hit 275!!

 

Tabata set of 1 handed swings for 4 minutes with the 44 lb.

Tabata set of snatches for 4 minutes with the 26 lb.

Tabata set of K2E, holy ouch! :)

 

Some swing tutorial and practice to make sure we are using the right form, a good review.  Got to swing the 88 lb. at the end for 10 reps, that was exciting!

 

Food Log:

Breakfast:

2 cups of coffee with creamer, 2 eggs, 2 turkey bacon

 

Lunch:

Fage greek yogurt with strawberries, carrots, 1 spoonful of PB

 

Snack:

4 pumpkin spice cookies with cream cheese frosting (cheat meal anyone?? Sheesh...), a few pretzles with the leftoer frosting (maybe 1 tbsp?)

 

Dinner:

Hamburger patty with a little ketchup, big salad with rasp. vinaigrette dressing

 

After reading some of the article Rachelle posted (thank you!) and talking with Jim, I think I am going to be tracking my carbs a little bit more closely.  I have probably been falling into the 100-150 range for carbs daily which is maintenance mode, and I want to be in fat loss mode, so I need to be a little bit stricter.  So, here we go for the next few weeks :).  Cutting out the morning coffee creamer (32 carbs after all is said and done, ouch!), and really watching my intake throughout the day.

How did swinging the 88 feel? And you got that 275, you are the deadlifting queen!! =)

 

You are very welcome for the articles...they seem to have been helpful to several; I'm glad! Just be sure you are still getting enough protein! =)
