80 2 hand swings, 2 min. on 2 min. rest
100 2 hand swings, 2.5 min. on 2.5 min. rest (video shows reps 40-100)I alternated these 4 sets in order 1 time, and then reversed the order for the second rotation, and then reversed again for the 3rd rotation, ending with the 100 rep set.

I wasn't feeling a "cheat day" but I increased my calories with nutritious food to recover from my 3 separate workouts today. I am having a hard time chosing high calorie foods.

Every time I think about what I would like to treat myself to, I always talk myself out of it because I don't think the calories are worth it! Probably because I can't just eat one cookie or one serving of ice cream, or one reg. candy bar. I want a whole bag of cookies (1800 cal) and a whole pint of ice cream (with PNB and coconut 1800 cal.) and a king size Snickers (500 cal.). So I'd rather have none.

I had a great week. I tried to eat more and kept my calories between 1600 (low) to 2000 (high) all week, but my weight stayed low. Normally I would shoot for below 1500. That's why I had choc. brownie Friday morning.
