bench press pr! /30 day shred

yesterday I PR'd on the bench press-90lbs! That's 15lbs more than the last time I tested for max. I want to break 100 on my bench press...that would be pretty sweet. however I'm probably nearing the end of the "noob gainer period" as alex and I like to call it where you can cut fat and build muscle at the same time. Since my goal is fat loss I'll soon reach a point where I'm not making strength gains because I'm not eating enough...but I think I can be ok with that.

yesterday I also decided to do Jillian Michael's workout DVD with Beans (called the 30 day shred). This may have negatively impacted my lifting afterwards but the DVD is heavier on the cardio than on lifting. Jillian says a lot of silly things like "toning" muscle and "we have to work a small muscle group with a big muscle group!" but I think the dvd definitely gives a good 18 minute workout.

My sleep schedule's thrown off again since I had to wake up at 5am to be on set today argh. That's one of the more annoying aspects about being an extra...my schedule changes from day to day. one day I have to be on set at 5pm and the next I have to be there at 6am. it's also really really hard to resist the temptation of donuts, bagels, and other non paleo foods that are calling to me from the craft services table.
