Day 2
DIET
Well today I went WAY over the amount of calories I was supposed to eat. Everything should fall into a better place once I get to school so I can better measure the food I eat instead of Chinese food. The calories is probably a lot less. I had seaweed, some meat, tofu, and two shrimps. This is way healthier than my listed "King Pao Chicken." A better estimate would be around 2,500 calories. Things I can improve on by looking back at this meal is to eat more frequently with smaller meals to curb my hunger. I did not do that well today.
Go with 1/2 cup of oatmeal for breakfast. Also swear off the nuts. Those will get you. With that I would be well in a good zone.
Also one can of tuna + 1 cup of cottage cheese = HEAVEN. This is possibly one of the most delicious meals I've had. I'm a huge fish fan and the mixture works really well. It also low calories + highly filling + high protein + low carbs + low fat = nutritious meal.
EXERCISES
I waited a bit too long after breakfast to exercise. After I ran 2 miles and did 100 jump ropes my stomach was yelling at me for some food.
I followed my Wednesday chest routine [will discuss this in a later post]. Since my wrist is still injured [check injury category]. I decided to go extra light to rehabilitate so I don't screw up my wrist even more. I just did everything with the bar, no added weights, lots of reps.
I also couldn't do barbell curls because the way it curled hurt my wrist too much. I stuck with the elastic bands.
In summary:
- Earlier in the day I ran: 2 miles, 1000 jump ropes
- Later in the day: 100 jump rope, 100/75/75/75 reps of bar bench, 4 super sets of dumbbell flyes and dumbbell bench [10 reps each/20 pounds], 2 sets of alternating elastic band curls with 25 reps each arm, 2 sets of elastic band curls with 50 reps together
It wasn't that great of a workout but it kept my hand from hurting so in the long run I should be able to heal faster and lift sooner.
EXTRA ACTIVITIES
Nothing strenuous today.
