Normal day. Decided to log more time on the treadmill because I only had time to go on it once. Other than that, it was a productive day. Had salmon for lunch and dinner today, roasted potatoes, and a grilled turkey breast panini + spinach & swiss cheese.

Had to take a break yesterday to celebrate the lunar new year. I had so much energy today though, I don’t know if it was because I worked out in the morning rather than in the afternoon. The HIIT sessions felt great. I focused mainly on my glutes today, and they’re sore as I type, so it was a great workout overall. I’ve been adding 10 more reps to russian twists and just doing more sets in general, so yay. Ended it with some roast been on a wheat roll, spinach, tomatoes, and bell peppers + Jamba’s fit n’ fruitful peach mango w| an extra whey boost. I’m not sure if the latter is healthy, but whatevs, no one gets in the way of me and my Jamba, lol.

Planning on doing weekly updates instead of daily because I feel like my routine stays relatively consistent anyway. Went super hardcore with my abs today and logged 2.20 miles in 20:00 minutes. Not my best, but I felt like I had the least energy to work out today. Also started working out my arms these past few days, and I can feel the burn!

Went extra hard today and felt great. I need to get back to running 2+ miles without stopping though, but I feel like the cardio + strength training circuit gives me more stamina instead of just doing mat + cardio + mat. It may be all mental though, haha. Someone recommend me new exercises to try out!
