Day 47.

When I come in, they should really clear the Hell Machine. I shouldn't have to wait because I'm important, dammit. Everyone else can use the other, crappy ellipticals.

But that doesn't happen and today I had to kill 15 minutes on a bike before I got my Hell Machine. And the bike is seriously a waste of time. Sure, I could pedal faster and work on a higher resistance setting but it's uncomfortable as it is, so working harder on the stupid thing just isn't an effort I'm willing to make.

The other thing for tonight: Lean Cuisine, Smart Ones, whatever brand you like. I'm trying to be better about my calorie intake and I've got a handful of them in my freezer to aid in this.. Do you eat them? Like them? Flavor suggestions? Please let me know. Thank you.

Anyway, the gym. 15 on the bike and then 30 on the Hell Machine on the Interval setting. Dug it. Then I did arms AND legs. Which was INTENSE. I did vertical chest press, pull downs (that is the actual name of the exercise. I looked it up.), row, bicep curls, tricep extensions, calf extensions, the sled, abductor, adductor, some other leg machine that I don't remember the name of, and finally, abs and lats.

That was a lot. If you're wondering, when I lift, I do 5 sets of 15, 12, 10, 12, 15 starting with a lower weight, then moving up each set and then back down. For abductor, adductor, abs and lats, I just do 75 total reps at the same weight.

Breakfast:
2 servings of Multigrain Cheerios with Vanilla yogurt
2 pieces of Whole Wheat toast with apple butter
