I wasn't nearly as tired as I have been, although I have upped my fat burner, and caffeine intake a little, it had to happen~ I was falling asleep at work, and becoming sorta bitchy.
This week I didn't have to do my cardio on Wednesday, so that also helped a ton with my increased energy! Also, by not having to do cardio for one day I was able to put all my focus into my Leg workout! I really enjoy lifting heavy, and I haven't been able to with my lack of energy and strength diminishing. I was able to go a little heavier than in the past three weeks, and I cannot even begin to explain the feeling of being strong gives me! I LOVE IT! My Leg workout this week consisted of the following:
- 4x20 walking weighted lunges
- 3x12-15 seated leg extension
- 4x15 deep squats
- 4x12 front squats
- 4x15 lying leg curls (super set)
- 4x20-25 hip abductors
- 3x15 straight leg dead lifts(super set)
- 3x15 single leg cable kickbacks
- 2x15 seated calf raises
It was such a great workout, my legs were definitely growing this week! I was also able to workout w/ my friend Lauren this week, which was great, because my workouts are usually pretty lonely. Not too many girls like to lift like I do, and my schedule is so chaotic I never have any workout partners. It was nice and fun to hit the weights with a friend! It keeps it fun and interesting~!
Overall I am very happy with how I am leaning up and looking, and so is my coach! We have some minor modifications to my diet starting for week 5, just adding more food, and less artificals(protein shakes,etc). I am excited to eat more, because my metabolism is fired up! I am constantly hungry, and my diet is very scheduled, and no cheating allowed! So hopefully by adding lean meats instead of a protein shake will help ward off hunger a little more now!
