Feels Good to Follow A Routine

I just got home from my Monday afternoon gym session. For breakfast I had 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, 1 orange sliced, 1/2 banana sliced, 2 tbsp ground flaxseed, and about 10 almonds mixed together. Today was back and biceps day. I did a one mile warm up on the treadmill, did my sets, then went back to the treadmill for another interval workout. Yesterday I focused on speed intervals but today I worked on incline:

0:00-1:00- warm up at 4.0 mph/1% incline

1:00-2:00- 5.0 mph/4% incline

2:00-3:00- 5.0 mph/7% incline

3:00-3:30- 5.0 mph/10% incline

3:30-5:00- 5.0 mph/4% incline

Repeat until you hit 30 minutes.

Let me tell you, at around 15 minutes I thought, what the hell are you doing? This is rough! But I persisted... I always put myself in the mindset of someone I would be training. I cooled down for 2 minutes at no incline walking at 4.0 mph then I was done.

My post workout snack is 1 cup of kashi with 1/2 cup of soymilk sprinkled with lots of cinnamon spice.
