Today was a typical Monday for me, other than I got TWO compliments on how I looked today by like 8:05, haha, that's a great way to start your day! My boss asked me if I changed something, and I was like, ummmm...well I opened a new Mascara today! Haha!! Then I shared with her about the new Instant Uplift Serum I tried and the new Mask. I still can't get over that darn mask. My face still feels amazing! Lol.
So my little 3 year old nephew started Pre-K today! That's a big event for us! Lol. He is getting so big, so fast! Just a few short months ago he was extremely speech delayed, and then something lit up and him and he started trying to say everything! He's still a little behind, but I can't wait to see what the folks at the Pre-K center do for him! He is SUCH a smart boy, he just has a hard time getting what he's trying to tell you OUT. I love him and his brother to pieces!
After work I headed to the Chiropractor then on to the gym. I only have today and tomorrow to workout at the gym because they are doing their Fall Cleaning and are closed from Wednesday through next Monday! What ever will I do with myself!!!????!!! LOL! I definitely have to take Wednesday off, because I haven't had one off since last Monday, but I also have some pictures to edit, so I need that time. I plan on doing some at home workouts and hopefully some walking to stay active during my gym forced hiatus! Lol
So once I arrived at the gym, my sister was already there and had done her leg exercises, so I went right in and got busy on mine. I smashed that out. I did the Linear Leg Press last and when I got over there, there was only 1-100 pound weight on each side. So to get to the weight I did previously, I had 2-45 pound weights on top of that. Today, I wanted to see if I could do a little more. So I did what any sane person would do and I put another 100 pound weight on each side. By myself. Um...100 pounds is HEAVY when you have to lift it to chest level! I thought I was gonna break a bicep or something, but I did it! So I get on there and I lifted 518 pounds. Yup...that's cool stuff. And I did 2 sets of 10 on that too! Then I headed upstairs to walk with her. I give her props...she tried REALLY hard to get me to jog with her. Lol...but....nope....I can't do it. I am NOT a runner. I don't think. I mean I always hated that crap when I was younger, so I just can't see myself being a runner! Haha.
I did a mile..she did a little more because she jogged a little over 3 of her laps. Then we went downstairs because she really wanted to do the leg press too, she just isn't as comfortable doing her own thing as I am. While she did that, I tried this seated calf raising machine that I've never done before. It only had 40 pounds on it, so I thought, what the heck? Um...that weighed more than 40 pounds. Lol! I don't know how much because the label was gone, but it was so heavy! I did 3 sets of 10 on there because it REALLY helped stretch out my feet and I need that so much for the Plantar Faciitis that I have.
After all of that mess it was time to head home.
Here is the breakdown of my leg exercises for today:
Seated Leg Curl - 3 sets of 10 on 90 pounds
Hip Abduction - 3 sets of 10 on 220 pounds
Hip Adduction - 3 sets of 10 on 200 pounds
Seated Leg Press (full legs) - 3 sets of 10 on 200 pounds
Seated Leg Press (toe raises) - 3 sets of 10 on 100 pounds
Leg Extension - 3 sets of 10 on 80 pounds
Linear Leg Press - 2 sets of 10 on 518 pounds
Calf Raises - 3 sets of 10 with 40 pounds
I hurt. I hurt in the best way possible. Muscles are growing, skin is ever so slowly tightening. And I really feel like I've GOT this!
I came home, cooked a really yummy dinner and watched a tiny bit of TV and now...I'm ready for bed! Thank God I already prepped my lunches for this week because I do NOT feel like messing with any of that. But it really was a super great Monday! I hope yours was too. :)
Here's the breakdown of my food choices for today:
Breakfast
An orange and two packs of Peaches & Cream Oatmeal = 305 cals
Lunch
Turkey chunks, Cottage Cheese, 1 string cheese, broccoli & cauliflower dipped in yummy veggie dip and some big ole plump red grapes = 439 cals
Snack on the way home from the gym
Two servings of Multiseed Crackers = 260 cals
Dinner
Balsamic Glazed Chicken & Mushrooms, Green Beans, and corn on the cob = 386 cals
So that put me at 1390 calories for the day. Good stuff. Thanks for tuning in friends! We'll talk tomorrow....after I torture myself a little more.
