Last Leg w/ PT

My week of Variety:

PT on Monday: Amy had me work upperbody. Most of it was on the cable machines, pull downs, rows, curls, ext like usual except I had to stand on a bosu! - then pushups with those stupid sliders that I HATE, and the pikes with the sliders which come in a close second. I got to do the barbell chest press like last week, and a new one this week was side planks with feet on stability ball w/ a hip dip.

I followed it up with 30 minutes on the elliptical, as usual.

Bike on Tuesday:

30 min - 7.55 mi

15 min - 2.6 mi

Outside Run (with Boy) on Wednesday:

2.0 run + 1.0 walk

Treadmill on Thursday:

31:10 - 2.5 mi

17:10 - 1.4 mi

I met Amy at 7am this morning for my last leg day, my lower back was killing me. what gives with that? check out the routine...

squat w/ empty barbell for 2 sets of 15

squat w/ 10# on barbell (I think) for 2 sets of 15

3 sets:

hamstring curl machine, 15 reps @ 3 (I think)

ball bridges

3 sets:

leg extensions, 15 reps @ 3 (I think)

mountain climbers on sliders for 30 seconds

2 sets:

slider oblique twists, 20 ct (10 each side)

Followed by 35 min on elliptical for 3 mi - and it was SO HARD.

Tomorrow is Saturday. I am looking forward to a morning at Vierra with Jeanine. I have GOT to work Boy tomorrow.

Tuesday Cardio

I went riding hills at the gym today, the stationary bike on the variety program, 40 minutes.

Today's upper body workout was slightly different than it has been and it SUCKED. LOL.

Warm up, 5 min elliptical with arm pulls.

Cardio followed: 30 mins random interval elliptical, no arm.

I have no idea how many cals I burned b/c I did not wear my Polar; I forgot it :*(

I had my last myoplex shake after the workout. but I'm still hungry.

EDIT: Day after.... my arms are sore, my core is sore, my back and shoulders are a little sore. Something from yesterday worked!! :D

Week "Off"

It wasn't a totally bad week, however, there were several things coming up this week that interrupted my eating and my workouts.

First of all, i'll just go ahead and admit that I was lazy every morning this week. Only one morning I went out for a walk run, and was very lazy about that. Here's the break down:

5/1: off

5/2: 4.5 mi walk/run

5/3: elliptical 30 mins and upper body ST with PT

5/4: walk/run in the a.m. due to Boy's award ceremony that evening (lasted 3 hrs!)

5/5: 40 mins elliptical. exhuasted from working all night on tuesday. no kickboxing

5/6: Walk run in the a.m. with Legs in the evening. total of about 500 calories. short gym time due to Spring Concert at the school.

5/7: Date night with Matt. Tried to go light in the day because I didnt work out and I knew my cals would be high with dinner out and drinks. I had way too many drinks so today was followed by:

5/8: barely ate anything. hangover. threw up until mid-afternoon. then had ice cream, popcorn, boca and salad. still didnt exercise.

Ending wt: 138.0
