Day 3 - Still sick......

I still feel like crap. Stupid cold won't go away!
Taking Vitamin C. Taking my Multi-Vitamin. Getting rest.
2 weeks being sick......I HATE IT!

But.... forcing myself to still go the gym regardless - this probably isn't helping huh?

Well since I was unable to workout yesterday, I'm hoping to not work so long today and squeeze in the workout I had planned for last night.
..............................................................
Breakfast: Protein Shake
OJ and Water
Snack: 1/2C Anti-Oxidant Nut & Berry Mix from Trader Joes
Lunch: 1C Turkey Picadillo (minus the olives)
more OJ and Meds
Green Tea
Late Bad Snack before gym: Artichoke & Jalapeno Dip w/Bread Chips

WOTD:
Concentrating on abs and upper body today since my legs are still shot from Sunday's side lunges.
This is a long ab workout. Resting period to be no more than 1-2 minutes in between each set.
No crazy machines. No balancing on a swiss ball. No extra weights. Just sticking with the basics till exhaustion!

Workout #1: Reverse Pyramid Sit Ups
A reverse pyramid is a technique in which you start with the highest number of reps and with each set you decrease the reps.
Set #1: 50 reps
Set #2: 40 reps
Set #3: 30 reps
Set #4: 20 reps
Set #5: 10 reps

TOTAL = 150

Workout #2: 10 Sets of 30 Sit Ups
Oblique Crunches - 5 sets
Leg Raises - 5 sets

TOTAL = 300

Upper Body - 3 Sets of 15 reps
Front Raise
Lateral Raise
Lateral Pull Down

I ended up putting in booty exercises too =P
Squats w/12 lb body bar - 3 sets of 30
Hip Flexors w/12 lb body bar - 3 sets of 25

Cardio: 15 - Short I know....I was STARVING
15 incline / 3.8 speed

Spent some time in the whirpool and sauna afterwards too. Relax my muscles and try to melt away this cold once and for all in the sauna!

Snack @ gym: Protein Bar

Dinner: Omellette w/pico de gallo (4 egg whites/1 yolk)
