Fitness Check In

I was sick last week and missed a few days (did get a workout in but I can't remember what day it even was or what all I did so we'll call today day 12)

Day #12
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Ran 40m - was supposed to be 45 but people driving past kept stopping and talking to me 😒
 
Day 26
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Rest day. Making overnight oats for this week. Trying to eat more balance meals for breakfast.
I like this recipe but I made some substitutes like using vanilla almond milk and vanilla greek yogurt instead of adding vanilla extract or the honey/maple syrup. I also add a tablespoon of sweeted shreadded coconut for extra sweetness and 1g of fiber as my base. I also got dark chocolate chips. This is my replacement for the chobani almond coconut flip yogurt that I love.

With my changes, the macros are
340 Calories roughly
Protein 15g
Carbs 50g
Fiber 10g (30g is the recommended daily amount)
Sugar 16g
Fat 10g

Day 26
Workout/Rest Day Summary: leg day. Woke up way past my intended alarm, so I worked out after work.

Day 27
Workout/Rest Day Summary: back and shoulders. Planning on doing 10 minutes of stretching after work, since I worked out in the morning.

@Miss Misty, your entry made me think of this workout video. It's a good leg and cardio workout and feasible to do (for the most part) while watching TV. XD
 
Day #8 - curls, rows, reverse lunges, kettlebell, incline press, ran c25k w4d2 afterwards. It was actually cooler today for once, which was nice.
 
Day #14
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Ran 45m

@TheSillyPuppy : Oh there's no way I could do that many squats haha. I'm actually not doing that many squats per day, as I'm focusing on form and quality over quantity. I have difficulty activating my glutes and hamstrings since my quads are disproportionately strong in comparison, so I limit my reps to avoid instinctively falling into bad habits. I've found that Bulgarian split squats actually get a lot of back-leg activation for me, so I tend to prefer them over traditional squats until I build up the muscles.
 
@Miss Misty, exercises that work muscles that we don't normally work in everyday movements, like Bulgarian split squats, are so good. 👌 And yes, form >>> quantity when it comes to exercising -- always!
 
Day 27
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Leg day with some core. I filmed myself doing the squats and my form is terrible and it's a lot of the reason why my lower back hurts the next day. So trying to fine some other safer exercises to do to strength my hamstrings, squads, and glutes before attempting to squat again. BF said walking lunges are good but I don't feel the burn even with weights. I tried the split squat for the first time after doing some walking lunges and they are a lot more effective.

Day # 1
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Did a short mix of everything: leg presses, chest presses, russian twists, superman lifts, heep taps and 20 mins on the cross trainer.
Short Term Goal: to get back into working out at least 3-4 times a week, I'm only going once or twice right now
(Very) Long Term Goal: to lose at least 20 kg (have lost 7 kg so far!)
 
Day 28
Workout/Rest Day Summary: abs and core.

Day 29
Workout/Rest Day Summary: arms day and stretched afterwards. Definitely want to invest in an adjustable standing desk in the long term; my posture while sitting at my desk while working from home is atrocious. DX
 
So days got a little messed up and it bothers me enough that I'm going to try to fix it.
Day 28
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Long walk to Target. It's 2 miles of just walking to and from the store. Got 10k+ steps

Day 29
Workout/Rest Day Summary: Got to 10k+ steps on my fitbit again. Did split squats, planks, and some upper body
 
I forgot what day i'm on oopsie
But i've been doing We Cheer 2 all week.

Decided to make a new goal instead of just excersising and eating healthier.
Long-Term Goal: Get stronger (everywhere), I will no longer be called weak by my friends.
 
Days 30-31
Workout/Rest Day Summary: rest day. Usual weekend chores and chilled on the deck for some sunlight.

Day 32
Workout/Rest Day Summary: chest day. Also stretched for 10 minutes afterwards. Had a headache due to sleeping super late last night, so it was a struggle to get through today, but I'm glad I powered through the workout.
 
Day 33
Workout/Rest Day Summary: leg day in the morning before work. Got hungry soon afterwards for whatever reason (I don't eat until noon usually); hopefully, my coworkers didn't hear my stomach growling. XD
