DAY 17 - 40/30/30/Rest

WEIGHT = 172.0 LBS (Up 3.0 LBS! Wow!)

WORKOUT

A day of rest...at least from the weights.

My chest is fairly sore but not to the point where it's killing me. I noticed my upper chest (just below my collar bones) is barking a little at me. This is cool since those muscles are hard to get to in a workout! Building those muscles really gives a great shape to that area of the body.

My shoulders must've gotten a good workout yesterday, too. By the end of the day they were fairly sore. I could feel that my hamstrings and thighs got some decent work also. They were showing signs of being a little tight.

Back to the gym tomorrow!!

DIET

Breakfast: Protein shake right out of bed. Leftover overnight oatmeal from DAY 15 and homemade breakfast sausage.

Snack (2): 1 cup of yogurt with 4 tsp of ground flax seed. 1 string cheese.

Lunch: Stir fry! Same as DAY 15 here...brown basmati rice with grilled chicken, green beans, broccoli and red onion all sauteed in coconut oil. What a great meal!

Dinner: Since no workout was scheduled for tonight there was no need for a shake...right to real food! I had 2 servings of leftover turkey meatloaf, some cantaloupe and grapes. Dessert was sweet potato with honey, cinnamon and coconut oil. That's good stuff!!

Pre-bed Snack: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 cup blueberries, and some almonds.
