Week 2 - My Progress This Week2/28/2021 What workouts did I do?This week for my project, I worked out twice. I worked out on Monday and Friday of this week because I had baseball practice after school on Tuesday and Thursday and I had a game on Wednesday. On Monday, I worked out my arms and upper body. To do this, I did 3 sets of 10 for Bench Press, 3 sets of 10 for Curls, 3 sets of 10 for Tricep Pull Downs, and 3 sets of 10 for Lat Pull Downs. Then I did an abdominal workout that included 3 sets of 20 for Sit-Ups and 2 one minute planks. Then on Friday when I came, it was Leg Day. I did 4 sets of 5 or 8 of Back squats (5 if heavier and 8 if lighter). I also did 4 sets of 10 Leg Press with increasing weight each time, 3 sets of 15 Calf Raises, and 4 sets of 10 Quadriceps Extensions. Overall, I think I gained a lot of muscle this week because I was very sore and could feel the results after. What foods did I eat?This week, I tried to eat healthier than normal for my first week. Monday, I had school so I always have a microwaved Chicken Alfredo Bowl, Goldfish, a Protein bar, and a water for school lunch. Every morning, I have around 4 pieces of bacon and 3 eggs to start my day. I eat those because they have a lot of protein to get my day started. Today, I ate a great restaurant called Taco Mama. The tacos had a lot of protein. Tonight, my mom made Chicken and Rice with Cranberry Sauce. My mom usually makes lots of healthy meals for dinner, and a lot of them have to do with chicken. What have I learned?The biggest thing that I have learned from this week is that I need to make a log of the workouts I do and the food I eat each day. This week was my first real week focusing on getting things done for my project to increase weight. In order to see the difference of weight, I need to see the difference in the amount of food I eat and how much I workout. By making a log of what I do each week, I will be able to see what I have done to gain weight and I will be able to see what I have done that week so I can write about it in my blogs.
