Day 6

My Thoughts:

Well, I’ve had a pleasant Memorial Day weekend. As you can imagine, this means BBQ’s BBQ’s and more BBQ’s. I went to 3 total over the course of 2 days and ate two hamburgers, one hot dog, lots of veggies and such, and avoided all sodas as much as possible. In fact, I literally just came back from one and am still digesting the food from that. Maybe you’ve had a similar weekend? I’m feeling good, even after yesterday’s workout, and am ready to get going again.

25 Days Left:

It was a busy day, so I’m working out at 2:30 AM. What’s your excuse?

Pre-Workout Stats:

I didn’t have access to that lovely digital scale again, so these readings might be slightly off, but I’m hovering around 173-174. You should always use the same scale if you can while you are attempting to track things, just for consistency. I will have access to the old scale tomorrow, so I can double check if these readings are truly correct and more accurately measure my weight and progress.

I definitely ate too much refined sugar today in the forms of angel food cake, whipped cream, a small amount of soda, and a mini cupcake… But for cryin’ out loud, it’s a holiday! I’m not gonna fuss over it. I mean, I only eat bran, kashi, and green tea every other day of the week!

The Workout:

Remember to stretch it out before you begin. You don’t want to get hurt.

This one breaks down similar to Day 3’s workout. Exercises are performed in super sets of 2, with 50 seconds of rest in between.

Exercise	Sets	Reps	Rest
One Arm Dumbbell Squat	3	x15
Dumbbell Press	3	x12	50 sec
Row	3	x12
Hamstring Curl	3	x15	50 sec
Shoulder Press	2	x12
Bicep Curl	2	x12	50 sec
Plank	2	45 Seconds
One Leg Calf Raise	2	x12	50 sec

Just a note: I switched the Hamstring curl shown in the video with one performed on a stationary machine, as I don’t have an exercise ball. Feel free to switch up exercises with comparable ones if you are ever lacking in equipment.

Again, some yoga to close things off with. Dashama is too funny with those disco lights in the background.

Closing Thoughts:

I almost feel like I’m not working out hard enough. I completed this in all in under 40 minutes, but I’m not sure it was intense enough. I’m thinking about incorporating some outdoor activity tomorrow or in the near future. I have to remember to keep focused on always increasing the intensity and variety of the workouts. I think I’m doing okay with variety, now I just have to make sure the intensity is up to par…
