So yesterday, I went on a 6 mile bike ride and it was a beautiful day. Somehow while traveling, I injured my quadriceps tendon. I"m not sure how, but it was sore and I couldn't squat well. Therefore, I wanted to give it a break. Also, I am still jet-lagged, but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be! The first night, I slept at 10 till 2 am and then 5 am till 930! Last night, I slept from 10pm all the way till 7am! I went to my gym today to get back on that grind :). It was leg day for me today. Let me just say, I was dripping on every machine! I did barbell squats for 5 sets at most 125 pounds. My heaviest weight before I left for my trip to China was 175. I was pretty tired at 125. I lost about 5 pounds of muscle over the trip so I need to get that muscle back! I also did curtsy lunges, hamstring curls, front squats, lunges, all that leg work :) It was nice to be pushing my body! Hopefully, I am sore tomorrow!
For my post workout brunch, I had the Costco pre-cooked steak strips seasoned only with kosher salt and pepper so it is whole30 and 21 day sugar detox approved! I made an egg whites omelette with spinach and tomatoes. It was yummy and protein-packed. I've noticed that I don't eat as much now; I'm not sure why, but it is probably because my body hasn't been needing so much food because of the lack of working out.
After my first 21 day sugar detox last month, I barely ate fruit and never ate natural sugars either. Once in China, I loved their peaches and fruits America does not have, so I had about one or two(at most) in the day, never at night. I never saw myself heavily craving fruit or something sweet! I was proud of my discipline, but not only that, my changed taste buds!
Thanks for reading!
