Guess who got a Titanfit t-shirt without doing a real pullup?!

Sorry Herb, couldn't resist the title post-I finally got a Titanfit t-shirt after months of begging while others received them yet Herb enjoyed torturing me too much to give me one and said he would give me one when I could do a real pull up probably because he knows that will be like over a year from year if I'm lucky! But then I recruited a friend and he was gonna give her one and not me-what is that crap?! C'mon BBH!

Workout:
First off, my best buddy Lori came with me today so yay for her she did a great job and a pretty tough workout for her first day esp!! I am so excited to have another lady member, esp my great friend we can motivate each other =)

Warmup: active stretching-shoulder dislocates & circles/swings, hip/leg/lunge stretch, leg swings, plank 30 sec hold x2, air squats (x10), jump pull ups (x5), body rows (x5), push ups (x5)

Workout for time:
20-15-10
KB swings, 26 lbs
body rows
push ups
finished 6:41
- way harder workout than I thought (as usual!)-esp going from body rows to push ups-did discover my hands were not wide enough all along on push ups which had been making it more difficult to get chest down farther so the adjustment helped a bit, but still struggled to crank them all out my weak little arms were about ready to snap!

Dinner:
- 3 oz lean strip steak (3 P blks)
- jar of mushrooms (like 2/3 of a C block)
- a little over 1/2 c egg noodles homemade to even out carbs & remainder of fat since I am sure they were made with a bit of butter and eggs-a little over 2 carb blks, unsure ab fat
- 1/2 tbsp butter 2.5 g fat, so like 1 & 2/3 fat blks
- 32 oz water

You want me to do what 50 times-Yeesh!

Breakfast:
- zone bar (190 cal/6 fat, 22 carbs, 12 protein)
- 5 pieces of deli ham
- 3 strawberries

Workout:
- row/stretching warm up but not much since I knew what was coming...
50 reps for time
- wall balls (9ft with 8lb ball)
- jumping pull ups
- kb swings 20 lbs
- sit ups
- burpees (ugghhh)
finished 18:03
- this was def one of the hardest workouts I have done yet, but I was proud of myself for finishing at a decent pace/time; I def am not strong enough to do the full throttle burpees where I do a push up but I did hold the plank position for a few seconds and then completed the rest of the exercise

Lunch:
lean cuisine meal (have been on the go and eating more frozen meals but normally try to avoid eating these too much)
spaghetti w/meat sauce (290 cal/4.5g fat/47 carbs/15 protein)
finally ate one of my weight watchers fudge bars-130 cal/5g fat/24 carbs/3 protein
- went way over on carbs but have been under a few times on other meals lately so not going to stress about it

Dinner:
- so Josh brought home his grandma's homemade noodles, mashed pots, and enough dessert to feed an army, so I of course skipped my afternoon snack because I expected my dinner to be a calorie carb load, but it was weird I had like 4-5 bites of noodles/mashed pots mixed together and it didn't really taste very good to me-I only had that many bites because I thought ok this is your chance to eat crappy so induldge a little but I just wasn't feeling it. I did have a sugar cookie and a small piece of her amazing choc cake, which was amazing as always but then my stomach felt terrible! A few hours later though I managed to eat one more sugar cookie because they were small and I knew this would be my last chance for awhile to eat her fattening, delicious food-and then I brought most of the rest of the dessert that Josh would part with to work so it would not be sitting around our apt waiting to be eaten-I used to be able to put down a ton of that stuff-not anymore friends =)

I ran a mile! Well sort of...

Breakfast:
- lt muscle milk bar (2 blks)
- deli chicken 1 P blk
- cashews (2) 1 F Blk
- running low on food so skipped my extra carb blk (it's grocery time!)

Workout:
- went to Titanfit around 1pm thinking they were open unt 2pm on Sat, oops!
- but since I was there and knew how far 400 M was, I decided to work on my running skills since they need a lot of work!
- ran 400M 4x, in between I did 10, 15, 15, then 20 air squats
- I wasn't sure how many air squats to do since the last time I only ran 400 M for 3x and was pretty winded but I figured out that 10 wasn't enough so kept tinkering with the #
- either way I never stopped jogging and finished in 13:20 and I could have easily gone home

Lunch:
- McD's side salad (1 C blk) w/ 3 oz chicken breast (3 P blks)
- red pepper (1/2 C blk)
- 1/3 c apple sauce, 1 C blk
- 5 cashews
- not very hungry really

By 8pm, I still wasn't hungry-had to make myself eat lunch but then just couldn't seem to develop any appetite for dinner. After like 9pm, I decided to go to a friends house and we were gonna have some ice cream (light of course!) and some wine. I bought the ice cream, but then when I got there I wasn't in the mood to eat it so I just had one glass of red and one of white-had to choke those down too bc I really wasn't in the mood to drink either-weird =) I did however decide to take my WW fudge bars home just in case....

Plank + weight shuffle=EVIL

Workout
- 4 min warmup row

For time:
125 M row, 45lb OH press x5, 10 ring dips, 15 air squats 3 rounds, finished 7:09
- hardest thing was press so had to do push press some and form needs work-this was the most reps I have done in a long time if at all of OH press so weak area for me

Dinner:
- wrap with turkey, let, tom, ban peppers, onion and a little bit of SW sauce
- have no idea as to nutritional stats but didn't eat it all and esp not all of the wrap itself because it tasted like cardboard and I just wasn't super hungry
- also had 4 cashews because I knew I hardly got any fat from the wrap
- water but not enough I don't think
- developed horrible headache as the evening progressed, not sure if this was diet related or perhaps dehydration?
- haven't had a headache like this in a long time-don't think I ate enough, esp at dinner and didn't drink enough water for sure

later Josh got some pizza and cheese sticks and I had like 2 cheese sticks later because I got hungry
