Rest and paperwork day
Well, wish me luck! I need to schedule a rather late accountant's appointment. But I did get our paperwork together! I hate tax time.
Today was a rest day... Saturday's TRX trainer workout was good. Maybe too good! The DOMS is here, but I've been mobile today, sore, but able to walk up and downstairs without too much groaning.
I timed it so my workout would end right around the point I needed to eat next... but even though it was not a long workout, I was trembling all over by the end of it! I immediately fixed the fastest thing I could think of, which was simply rolled oats and milk in the microwave, along with a little peanut butter, cocoa powder and a TBSP of chocolate Splenda syrup by Torani. Followed by some turkey and veggies shortly after.
Some highlights... I was able to do some chest presses WITHOUT using a leg to help spot and take some of my bodyweight! I also managed to hold a kneeling plank 67 seconds... a 7 second improvement over last week. I found the shoulder exercises came a little bit more naturally. I'm still kind of working on just getting comfortable with the various exercises, so was not really counting reps yet.
Lunges, even assisted with the trainer, are still very tough. More so on my left leg than on my right, so there is work to be done. I'm afraid I didn't notice any improvements there. It may take time. Years ago, I injured my left quad trying to do squats, and had no insurance then, so I'm not sure just what I did, only that it has been touchy since. For the moment, lunges on the left are shallow.
The weekend eating was good... I kept to my calorie budget.
I will do girth measures soon, I know I need to, but taxes came first.
