DAY 15 & 16: Day 15 was rest day for me (sort of). My two girls had their TaeKwonDo class today and I sat and watched. A bit of running to warm them up followed by some punching and kicking exercises got them nice and ready to learn some of their curriculum. Universal form, followed by Knife Hand sets, Self Defense, Grappling and topped off with stick work. I felt as though I couldn't sit and rest so I decided to go our later with my girls for a nice 1 hour walk...outside! Day 15 diet was absolutely superb. Banana and yogurt for breakfast followed by carrots for snacks. Leftover chicken for lunch with peas. For dinner I made "the big salad". Went to bed feeling fine!Day 16 was workout day: Warmup consisted of a nice 15 minute treadmill with my heartrate going from 120 to 150 as I cycled the speed up and down. From there
3 sets x 15, 18 and 10 reps of chest presses, 40 reps, 50 reps, 40 reps of lying crunches, 3 sets x 15 reps of static lunges and finally 3 sets x 10 reps of bicep curls. The program I followed today was Fitness Towns 21 minute workout #1 which I received when I signed up for this challenge in a nice handbook (this handbook is well worth the price of this challenge). The only thing I didn't do was the seated row as I don't have any resistance bands. Guess what Patrick, I'm coming back again! The girls decided to take Day 16 off to concentrate on decorating our boston terrier like a reindeer.
Day 16 diet was also great. Yogurt and oats in the morning followed by a tomato, carrot and snow pea salad. For lunch I decided to be lazy and pick up some California Rolls for the local Japanese eatery. Now...for dinner I had reason to celebrate as I received some great news at work. So my wife and I decided to take the girls out to celebrate. I had a chicken and vegetable medley along with 1 (one) light beer. My treat for the week :)
