Exercise & Nutrition: The Week in Review

With all the excitemet of the CN Tower climb, I realized I did not let you guys know how I did in terms of exercise and nutrition this week. Overall, I did really well. You will notice on Friday, I went out to lunch with a colleague. We went to a little Italian restaurant close to work where I had a salad with a small piece of lasagna - It was delicious!!! I also had an 8oz glass of iced tea...

WEDNESDAY

Exercise
I completed my strength training session today and since deciding to climb the CN Tower, I concentrated on making all my "leg" workouts REALLY count. I really tried to push hard on those squats. It felt great.
Unfortunately, I missed my lunchtime Kickboxing session. I was home with my son that day
Total Hours of Exercise: 1 hour, 35 mins

Nutrition
Breakfast: 4-egg white omlet with spinach, 800ml of water. Snack: small apple with almond butter, 500ml water. Lunch: cucumber & tomato salad with sardines, 500ml water. Snack: a small piece of grilled chicken, 500ml. Dinner: chicken & lentil soup with veggies, 800ml water. Snack: 10 almonds, cup of peppermint tea (unsweetened).
Total Water: 3100ml plus 500ml during workout = 3600ml(3.6 litres)

THURSDAY
Exercise
Jiu-jitsu class was really intense today! The moves were intense, so much so that my pant bottoms ripped with one of the moves LOL!! I only "lol" because I ALWAYS wear shorts under and I am soooooooooo thankful that I do!! There are a few females taking Jiu-jitsu and I noticed that not all of them wear shorts under...don't get me wrong, they wear undergarments, just not shorts. And in my case, I wouldn't want anything but shorts on display in the event that my pant bottoms ripped - WHICH IT DID!!

I also had a 30 minute session on the treadmill...it was a combination of walking and jogging. This time a little more jogging than walking.
Total Hours of Exercise: 1 hours, 30 mins

Nutrition

Breakfast: Bowl of steel cut oatmeal(cooked), 800ml of water. Snack: vanilla protein drink (made with 500ml of water). Lunch: grilled chicken breast with steamed broccoli, 500ml water. Snack: 1 boiled egg, 500ml. Dinner: grilled 3 oz eye of round steak, 1 small baked sweet potato, steamed asparagus, 800ml water. Snack: 10 almonds, 500ml.
Total Water: 3.6 litres + 1litre during workouts

FRIDAY
Exercise
I completed my strength training session today and found that my legs were burning!! I know I pushed hard on Mon & Wed and this is the reason - it's a good burn!
I did not make the 430 KB class today either because I had to relieve my husband as he was home with the baby today - we take shifts whenever our son's daycare worker is not available (unfortunately, she had a death in the family).
I did 30 minutes on the treadmill to make up for it.
Total Hours of Exercise: 2 hours, 5 mins

Nutrition
Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, 1 turkey sausage, 800ml of water. Snack: small apple with almond butter, 500ml water. Lunch: small chef salad, a piece of lasagna, 8oz glass of iced tea (went out to lunch today). Snack: apple, 500ml. Dinner: Turkey chilli (ground turkey, red & green peppers, mushrooms, onions, 800ml water. Snack: cup of peppermint tea (unsweetened).
Total Water: 3100ml plus 500ml during workout = 3600ml(3.6 litres)

Tomorrow is Weigh-in Sunday.
Until then,
