Fat X Workout
(warm up 5 minutes before each workout)
Day 7
do circuit 8 times: full squat press (use heaviest weight possible for 8 reps), side planks (hold for 10 seconds), weighted Roman chair crunches
As always, it's harder than it looks. I started out with 15 pound dumbbells for the squat press and by the middle of the second set, I had to go to 10 pounders. Side planks, piece of cake. But for some reason, the crunches were rough on my arms, which were exhausted from the squat presses. Not a fan of this one. Total time: 23:01. Calories burned: 121 - I knew it wouldn't be a big burn because you're off your feet half the time.
I have decided that I am not going to do another round of ChaLean Extreme (sorry, Melissa) in January. I've been kicking around the idea of doing Turbulence Training for a while now and the next transformation contest starts December 27. I am going into this like I went into the Body For Life Challenge - I won't win, but an official entry will be great motivation. So I'm going to do it. Last night, I picked out three four-week TT programs to do during the 12-week challenge. They are fantastic.
So, that means only 1 round of Fat X, which will end this coming Saturday. I'll take Sunday off, then do some prep for the first TT program. I need to figure the maximum number of:
regular push ups
1-leg squats
chin ups
slow push ups
inverted rows
bicycle crunches
elevated push ups
I can do. Between Monday and Thursday of next week, I'll do that. The other three days will probably be Turbo Jam, and I still want to try the Insanity Fit Test. I'm going to rest Christmas day, and the day after. it will be weird beginning my week on a Sunday! I still plan to stick to Weight Watchers, rather than the Turbulence Training nutrition (which I don't have to follow - the only thing I have to do is the workouts).
omelet w/ onion, green pepper, cheese & salsa; light English muffin w/ sugar-free jam [6 pts]
French toast stick [1 pt]; Just one, left over from my son's breakfast.
banana [1 pt]
tilapia & mixed vegetables [4 pts]
apple & cottage cheese [4 pts]
carrot sticks [0 pts]
baked chicken thighs, quinoa w/ mixed vegetables [7 pts]; Before I started eating, I really, really wanted to just pile my plate high with chicken because I knew it would be really delicious. However, I forced myself to take a smaller portion and to my surprise, it was quite filling.
banana [1 pt]; I really wanted a freaking cookie or 50 and I just could not eat another vegetable. I knew if I didn't eat something, I was going to lose it. A banana seemed like a safe choice. But it's no cookie, damn it.
Three cups of coffee, one cup of green tea, and 80 ounces of water.
24 points today. 31 weekly and 1 activity point remaining.

Thanks. I'm not really interested in becoming a coach. As much as I love Beachbody, I am not coach material.
