Menu went o.k., but am really having a difficult time getting in 6 'meals' per day. The morning goes o.k., but by evening, I'm just not hungry. Last night, could not eat the last 'meal' (not even a protein shake) -- not sure what to do about it. Only ate a small dinner, so that's not it -- I just don't get hungry in the evening. I waited for 1 hour after the weight session before eating, and I still had a hard time forcing the food down.

Had a small salad of mixed greens with Balsamic Vinegarette dressing, 1/4 cup sweet potatoes, small portion of roasted chicken breast, water.

Did upper body last night and a.m. cardio this morning and I hurt all over! Not a bad hurt, just some sore muscles, which I think, is supposed to be a good thing. I'm beginning to understand the logic of circuit training -- doubt I could do upper body again tomorrow!
Here's what I did:
Bench press
12 x 5
10 x 10
8 x 10
6 x 15
12 x 10

Flys
12 x 10

Seated Dumbell press
12 x 5
10 x 10
8 x 10
6 x 10
12 x 10

Side raises
12 x 5

Dumbell row
12 x 5
10 x 10
8 x 15
6 x 15
12 10

Wide lat pulldown
12 x 20
12 x 40

Lying dumbell extensions
12 x 2.5
10 x 5
8 x 5
6 x 10
12 x 10
12 x 10

Seated dumbell curls
12 x 5
10 x 10
8 x 10
6 x 15
12 x 10

Standing dumbell curls
12 x 10

This morining:

20 minutes on treadmill -- had a difficult time this morning; did not reach 10 -- felt a bit dizzy and nauseated, and I don't know why; at times had to hang onto side rails and close my eyes to focus. Was not especially happy with workout, so plan to do Tai Bo when I get home.

Planned menu for today:

Had 1/2 cup Eggbeaters omelet
1 slice ww toast

1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 orange

Rest of today's meals will be:
Roasted chicken breast
1/4 cup sweet potatoes
1/2 cup green beans

Myoplex shake

Baked cod
Zuchinni patties (from lc cookbook)
Broccoli

Carb solutions shake
