my workout setup for this morning
This morning it was raining so I did Jiggle Free Arms from the Firm. It can work you hard if you pick heavy enough weights and that's what I did (I used 5, 8, 10 and 12). I have a reminder to myself in my little notebook to go down in weights next time I do the first shoulder set. This on is led by Stephanie and part of the Transfirmer series. It's focus was on arms and shoulders with a set of back and chest thrown in too. So not quite a full upper body workout but if you want to work on you arms and shoulders it's perfect. Our cat, Bacardi was feeling rather energetic during my workout and seemed to like how his claws felt on my mats. This did not make me very happy and had me yelling "No" several times only for him to come back and do it again. Fun times with a cat.
Food notes:
Lunch: Spinach from home plus additions from Lowe's foods salad bar. Something has been upsetting my stomach when I eat these salads, so I'm omitting foods one by one to see what the culprit might be. I also may just need to add in the apple cider vinegar + water before this meal, but I keep forgetting to make it before I leave home.
Supper: We decided to do easy tonight. I picked up Little Caesar's outside of town and bring it home for hubby and the youngest. I splurged and picked me up a Udi's Pepperoni pizza. They are really good to me, I plan on adding some food reviews later and this will be one of them. I really wanted some of my small pizza crusts to make my own, but it appears our Food Lion has stopped carrying them. I am bummed.
Breakfast: Hubby bought some GNC Whey protein powder in chocolate supreme so I gave it a try mixed with milk this morning. Figured it was good for after my workout as well. It was yummy and then I added a banana when I came to work.
Water: 96 oz
One Diet Coke at lunch
How I feel:
Stressed when I got home, I'm not sure why, and then I had a hard time decompressing with a lot going on at the house during the evening. Before bed my legs were bothering me so I took my medicine for Restless Legs and slept like a dream until 3:00am when my legs and arm were giving me a fit again, so I took another one, and slept until my alarm at 6:30.
I'm jazzed about my morning workout and still a bit sore from the running yesterday. But it's all good. Health wise besides the restless legs issue, I am doing great.
Personal notes:
We're debating a 5K Beach Run tonight. These are just fun races and yes they time you but it's really low stress. No I can't run a full 5K yet but I can run/walk it and come in well before some of the 10K finishers. I also know I push myself harder during races so it should be fine. Hubby is on the fence, though he did look at other races in our county with me last night and I think we have plans for a few of those. I'm slowly getting him on board with the racing but I think once he gets started he'll be in love.
I talked to our oldest son last night. Their first day of white water rafting went great. They did it individually in kayaks and he said he never capsized and he was first to finish in his group. At the moment I called he was getting ready to go to the store, probably to replenish some junk food I'm sure. We'll work on that when he gets home :)
