Day 619

Recovering nicely from the Kettlebell class last night.  I feel that this is my new program that will help me achieve my main goal of losing weight.  I've made a small adjustment in my food intake and with this intensive workout twice a week along with my other workouts I really hope to see some movement weight wise.  Just have to be patient.

So today's workout was a back and bicep concept.  I did the routine Lorinda wrote up and then I tweaked it with a pyramid style set.  We went 8-10-12-12-10-8 and I kept the weight up.  Last time I did this I ended up using a lighter weight by the end.  Today it was the same weight all the way through.  I will say that at the end I was struggling a bit but completed it.

Breakfast: Frittata with cottage cheese and salsa.  20oz of cold water.

1st snack: Greek yogurt with 24 almonds and blue berries

Lunch: Finished off the clam chowder from the weekend.  Threw in some of the fish and the rest of the cauliflower/cheese dish from the weekend also.  Had a piece of the chocolate cake that was floating around from the previous Friday.  I was able to avoid any pizza this time.  It was there and I looked at it but shook my head and walked away.

Dinner: Just the protein drink.

I'm noticing that dinner has become more of a snack type of meal.  It's not like chips and dip though more of it being just a much smaller meal.  Frankly so far it's just been the protein drink.  I will probably have some pistachios occasionally though.

So good workout and tomorrow it's back to Kettlebells.

Kettle ball class looks like fun. Are you still at City Gym?

Yes. I really like the dynamic and of course most of the staff knows my name. :) It's not the most modern but if you're there to workout then you can get it done with very few issues. And most of the classes are free! They just started the new schedule and they've added a yoga class that meets Sat morn at 10:45am. The rates are still very competitive especially if you pay for 3 or 6 months at a time. Currently they have a special buy 6mon get 3 free so for about $145 you get a 9mon stretch.
