WHy helllllllllo there sweeeeeetie!!!
HOpe you had a wonderful day today! Workout looks great... GOOD JOB!

Thank you much, Duck-a-roo!

Usually I'm set to lift tonight and then I skip Friday... but I called in sick for tomorrow and am taking a day "off". At least I'll be away from the kids. Ulter is moving to a new place tomorrow, so we're going to hit the gym during the day when it's far less crowded than it would have been tonight. Besides, lifts are always better after a good night's sleep for me.

I was back to cardio this morning after my Wednesday off. I tried to get up before 5:30 but couldn't make it to spin class! Oh well, Thursday is crazy-Spanish-teacher day anyway, so I didn't miss much!

I did a cardio circuit instead:
20 minutes HIIT on Precor elliptical machine (4 min steady, 1 min sprint)
15 min. steady state on rowing machine (Full resistance, fast as possible)
15 min. stairmill HIIT (L9, 12, 15)

Total: 50 minutes

I'm going to try and do a full hour workout tomorrow. I love that I get to sleep in on Wednesday but for some reason, once I get back to the grind of things... I feel like I was just slacking off. It's called a BREAK, T! I'm allowed, right?!

 

[jenscats5]

Yes! Breaks are allowed!! Gives you that oomph! to get back in there.....

Nice cardio circuit too....

 

[Gymgurl]

No breaks for you Missy.....lol....Good morning T

 

[T-Cake]

No breaks for you Missy.....lol....Good morning T

I didn't take too much of a break! Good morning, GG!

Ok, I'm bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and HOME! Hooray for calling in sick -- though my throat is still kinda bothering. I was hoping it'd all be a complete falsehood.

Off to the gym to do cardio and then Ulter and I will go back together tonight to lift weights (which is best for me anything because I can't use my RedBlast in the morning, only once I've eaten -- pills are BIG!)

Ta-Ta for now!

 

[ck2006]

Hope your weekend and workout was awesome!

 

[Gymgurl]

Hope you had a great weekend T.........

Hellllllo, ladies!

LONGEST POST EVER but it took me forever to type it all and get it caught up! Please read me!

I just wanted to share this image that I saw on Bunz's MySpace because it cracks my shit up and it's so me:

Hilarious -- I can't give up my fruity avi just yet, though -- I'm too attached!

Lower Body

NEW GOAL: Ulter feels my legs are too big at this point and it's time to cut 'em up, so all my sets today are aimed to find what weights work best for 20 reps. Dear Lord, I had NO IDEA what I was about to feel...

Leg Press (Last max weight: 145#)
1. 90# x 20
2. 110# x 20
3. 115# x 20 To quote my gym log... "Holy shit."

Good Mornings (These I'll keep volume weight, NOT 20 reps!)
1. squat rack bar + 40# x 12
2. squat rack bar + 45# x 10
3. same as 2 Next time I'll do all 3 sets with 45#

Dead Lifts (Last max weight: 75# on the squat bar)
1. bar + 65# x 15 Dropped weight lower so I can get to 20...
2. bar + 50# x 20
3. same as 2 Training log reads "SUCKS" in big letters

Prone Leg Curls (Last max weight: 70#)
40# x 20 x 3 sets I'll add a set with 45# next

Leg Extensions (Last max weight: 55# each leg)
1. 40# each leg x 16 BURNS!!!!!!
2. 35# each leg x 20
3. same as 2

Seated Calve Raises (Last max weight: 105#)
1. 45# x 20
2. 50# x 20
3. same as 2 OW

This workout KICKED MY ASS. Fo' shizzle... I mean, total total burn. So now I'm just imagining the intermuscular fat burning away as I'm dying through these sets... I hope this works!

Cardio for those 3 days:
Friday: 70 minute cardio circuit (Precor, rowing, stairmill)
Saturday: 45 minute circuit
Sunday: Ok MAD because I was the first name signed in on the cycle class list for the noon class... I walked in AT 11:58 because I was lifting... all the bikes were gone. I didn't get one... so I had to do a circuit AGAIN

Today:
50 minute cardio circuit
No weights THANK GOD!
