Today is the day I have been waiting for since I missed my leg workout last week. I hit the gym at the usual 5:30 a.m. and warmed up on the bike for a good five minutes. It was time for squats. I warmed up with 135x10 then did 225x10 and 225x6. I closed it with 275x5. With squats done, I followed it with the usual three sets of leg press. I did 270x10, 360x10 and 450x10. After those two workouts I was worn out. I then did seated calf raises, leg extensions, standing leg curls and called it a day.
It's always an awesome feeling after I complete my leg workout, so it was nice to be able to get it in this week. Next week, I will try and rep 275x10 on squats and add a little something to the leg press. I have been stuck at 450 for a while now. I'm not surprised since I do leg press after squats, but still I would like to get to 500.
Overall, my diet hasn't been too great as of late. We have been grabbing a lot of quick meals and it will probably be that way until after the baby is born and we can get into some type of routine. With that being said, I have been making better decisions than I have in the past regarding the food I consume. I still think I have done a reasonable job for the most part not going over my maintenance calories, but with the missed workouts at the end of last week and Monday due to the lingering effects of my cold, it's hard to say what the scale will say tomorrow morning.
