Day 9: Plyometrics

Well, I completed goal number 3 for this week! Today was much more difficult that last week. I think there were a couple of reasons for this. First, I worked on getting lower into my stance. I could really feel it in my quads. I also worked on exploding out of my stance and landing on the balls of my feet. This really worked out my calves. I had issue with the lunges, both with balance and with form, so I wasn't able to keep up with the tape. The other area I had trouble with was the 180 ski hop. I think this started pushing me into the red zone. I had to take a little break because I was getting a little light headed. I let them finish it off, then I jumped back and finished up strong. BRING IT!

It was a good workout that really kicked my butt, but in a good way. I was exhausted and sweating by the end. I now know exactly what made my legs so sore last week. I hope my body has gotten use to it this week, but if I am sore that just means I am making progress.

My chest, shoulders and lats are pretty sore today. Yesterdays workout really hit the target areas.

Breakfast: Turkey bacon, scrambled egg whites
Lunch: Chefs salad or something akin at Central Market
Dinner: Pancakes (off diet, but it is Shrove Tuesday.)
Snack:?? I left my homemade protein bars at home today, so I will need to pick something up at Lunch today.
