It's my first week back and I already slacked on updating the blog everyday sooooooo, now to catch up. I took 2 days off of this week, so I'm pretty happy with myself. I need to make sure I work out today to get in 5 workout/run days this week. As of Wednesday I finally stopped my groaning like an old lady every time I changed my clothes or put my jacket on. The amount of soreness in my arms/shoulders was pretty ridiculous.
12/28-Wednesday- Bang Bang Workout
I was beat after this workout. It was pretty tough. I'm not sure if it's a tough workout to begin with or if it's just because I am that out of shape. I'll tell myself it's a combination of the two. The leg lift, star crunch butt lift was tough after doing high knees for 4 minutes. Then again, the side plank lifts were tough too.....and so were the one leg bridge, leg lift, to touches. So yeah, the workout was tough, but in a good way.
12/29-Took the day off. I had a serious lack of motivation today thanks to the good ol period :-/
12/30-Friday-Ran my neighborhood route of 2.29 miles. The first mile was into oncoming 15 mph wind. It was low 50's out but it felt pretty chilly with the wind combined. I spent a good portion of the first mile wipe the tears running down my face. People were looking at me funny. Maybe because of my running attire, maybe because it probably looked like I was crying. It's supposed to be cold next week so I'm not sure that I'll be able to convince myself to go run. I should since running in cold weather is supposedly good for you, but ughhhhhhh, I hate being cold. Even with cold gear on I still have a hard time getting on board.
12/31-Saturday-Amazing Fat Burn Workout
GRRRRR-I couldn't do the reptile pushups the correct way so I had to modify. That kind of stuff gets under my skin knowing I have done the workout before and was able to do them the right way the entire way through the workout. After the workout I added some more exercises:
-10 leg lifts with resistance bands (each leg)
-2x10 V-ups on dip station
I feel like I have lost a lot of my shoulder definition and strength since I quit going to the gym so I am adding in some of my old shoulder lifting to get it back. I need to start adding pull ups into my workouts too but I didn't today.
-3x10-lateral raises w/6 lb sandbag balls (using the sb ball adds another level of difficulty since it requires grip strength)
-3x10-front raises w/6lb sandbag balls
-3x10-upright row. 2 sets with sb balls then I switched to 8 lb dumbbells since I dropped one of the balls on the 2nd set. My grip strength isn't the best.
1/1/12-Today I need to incorporate some burpees into my workout since those seemed to whip me into shape. I am also pretty excited about Dan's friend letting me borrow his cycle trainer to see if I like it. We are setting it up today. I also need to figure out if I want to join the gym again for a few months. Apparently they are running $39 sign up fee with month to month membership which is only $15-20/month. Granted it's a crappy gym but whatever, it's not like I'll be there everyday :)
I need to get off of my butt and go paint some more trim in the kitchen. Ewww, and and I have to have that review written by the end of Monday. BOOOOO!
