<\/a><\/p>\nThere are 6\u00a0 in a serving of Shu Mai but I ate 8. Calories for dinner are as follows:<\/p>\n Chicken Shu Mai (8): 213 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n Quinoa: 225 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n Steamed Veggies: 70 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n Goddess Dressing: 150 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n Saturday I slept in until 10:30am! I was surprised when I rolled over and saw the clock. I got up and had an Atkins shake for breakfast.<\/p>\n I got to the gym and it was surprisingly crowded. All the stair-masters were taken so I did a 10 minute warm-up on the elliptical machine until one came open. I did 45 minutes of Speed Intervals and 5 minutes of cool down on the stair-master. Then I saw this machine:<\/p>\n Arm Machine<\/p><\/div>\n It’s a machine that does just your arms. It’s sort of like an exercise bike but for your arms. It was really strange but boy does it work! My arms were tired after just a few minutes.<\/p>\n It hurts so good! But I actually feel a difference after I use it. I did sets of 10 5 times. Ouch! I moved to the machines for the lower body and did a bunch of different leg presses. I also did the Standing Calf machine. It’s great for the calves and I definitely need to strengthen that part of my body for running.<\/p>\n Standing Calf<\/p><\/div>\n I spent a little time doing the Hip Machines:<\/p>\n After doing my weight routine, I discovered a new machine! It’s a stretching machine. I’d never noticed it at the gym before but I gave it a try today. And boy does it work!<\/p>\n Stretching Machine<\/p><\/div>\n I followed the instructions on the machine and stretched out my body. It felt awesome! I’m now wondering where I can buy one of these things! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Stretching Machine<\/p><\/div>\n When I got home from the gym, I did my Foam Roller stretches and then ate a piece of Ezekiel toast with Organic Crofters jam as a snack.<\/p>\n Calories Burned: 775<\/strong><\/p>\n Time at Gym: 1 hour 27 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n I made a veggie-rich lunch. First, I steamed more veggies.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>I like easy dinners!<\/p>\n<\/a>I debated whether or not to go for a long run around the neighborhood or to go to the gym. I decided to hit the gym because it’s been quite awhile since I’d been. I needed to do weights, too. It’s been way too long since I did my weight routine either. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>I went upstairs to do weights. I focused on the ab machines that I love:<\/p>\n<\/a>This Ab Machine is my absolute favorite:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>The Hip Abductors and Adductor machines work the muscles of the hips. These muscles are often times a complaint for runners. It can cause pain in the IT Band and down to the knees. Michael often complains about his hip flexors bothering him from cycling. So I think there are many exercises other than running that can cause inflammation in the hips. Strengthen and stretch!<\/p>\n<\/a>On one of the machines I started to feel a strain in my groin so I stopped doing the hip machine and moved back to doing my upper body. I don’t want to be hurting in a bad way!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>Today’s Stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
