View from my room when I first woke up. There was NO snow yesterday! |
I woke up to a very white view out of my 21st story window. Yep, the Nor'Eastern is approaching, and it is making things rather snowy! However, I do love snow, so I am kinda excited about that...
Breakfast. |
Then after a little bit, I ate one of my protein bars. (It just seemed easier than trying to go find a quick bite of food before sound check!) Simple is sometimes key on the road. After I finished, I got my gym clothes on and went down to sound check. Once we ran a couple of songs and I was done, I headed up to the gym.
They have a very nice and pretty big fitness center at the hotel. This is what I did-
Watching the news reports about the crazy weather coming our way while I did my cardio. |
- Ran on the treadmill in intervals. (2min at 6mph, 1min at 3.8mph, 2min at 6.5mph, 1min at 3.8mph, 2min at 6mph, 1min at 3.8mph, 2 min at 6.5mph, 1min at 3.8mph, 2min at 6mph, 1min at 3.8mph) 15 minutes total.
- Weights - Circuit - 25 bench presses with two 20lb free weights, 25 sit ups, 25 shoulder presses with two 12lb free weights, 25 leg extensions at 60lb, 25 seated leg curls at 60lb. REPEAT 3 more times. So a total of 100 of each thing. 500 motions total.
- Walking treadmill incline intervals. (All at 3.8mph - 1min at 0 incline, 1min at 3 incline, 1min at 4 incline, 1min at 5 incline, 2min at 6 incline, 1min at 5 incline, 1min at 4 incline, 1min at 3 incline, 1min at 0 incline) 10 minutes total.
After workout snack. |
That is a semi standard workout. But I always try to mix it up a little. And when you are in a gym you are not familiar with, sometimes you end up mixing it up more than you'd like!
After I got all sweaty, I headed back up to my room and I had a small after workout snack... I had a mini "snack size" Luna bar. I like all the small sized bars so I can have something to snack on without having more than I need at the time!
Once showered and ready to go, I headed downstairs to walk and shop a bit, and eventually find a little lunch.
Very cool Irish Pub. |
After I finished my meal, I walked through the shops. One of the only ones left open was the Farmers Almanac store, and it is right up my alley- for the worse! They have a bunch of sauces and snack things etc... I ended up getting some Chimes Ginger Chews- which are amazing, (yes, I got some in every flavor and they are all amazing!) and I know I am going to enjoy them as a pick me up while I'm traveling on this trip, and I also grabbed a couple other things for later. Yep, stores like that are trouble for me and trying to stay healthy!
Backstage spread. |
Of course when I went down to the show there was a spread of yummy snacks backstage... I indulged in some cheese and a cookie. It is too hard not to! That is a major issue for me! So hard to say no when it is sitting there. Although sometimes I am a bit more motivated and I find it a little easier. But man, tonight was not one of those nights!
All of us at the pub. |
You never know what to expect on the road. Which is what causes a lot of food and fitness issues for me!
