TT W15D2: I Need Groceries

Food was fine yesterday though I didn’t get in that bonus round of Forza. I’ll take a look at it tonight if I have enough gumption. I’d like to try some of the routines from the Forza book instead of repeating the two from the DVD again.

This morning’s lifting workouts were both very good. Usually the personal training session is tiring but not particularly intense, but today Ashlee came through with some superset combos that actually felt difficult towards the end. Amazing! I followed up the session with TT Phase 3 Workout B weights for a truly butt-kicking workout. That was the last Phase 3 workout, so I will be happily starting a new set of exercises on Thursday when I move onto Phase 4.

Due to the missed grocery run this weekend, I am going a bit off of my usual menu pattern, but I’m sticking to my calories and macros. Sigh…I miss the pineapple smoothie.

Note to self: Get some crushed pineapple tonight or be punished with nasty Orange Creme whey protein shakes tomorrow.

Speaking of whey, I restocked my supply of Dymatize Elite Gourmet Vanilla AND tried a new flavor, Butter Cream Toffee. Vanilla is still the most versatile flavor, but I have to admit that the BC Toffee is not at all bad by itself with water. I had it this morning in my PWO shake and found it most tasty. Next test: BC Toffee plus cocoa powder in a homemade bar…
