So, Friday came and, as usual, I decided to blow off my workout and do it Saturday. And that usually works great, except that Friday night we had a storm that knocked out power through Sunday night. So, I totally missed that workout. And I completely busted my "diet" when we went out to eat two nights in a row because the power was out.
In the mean-time, the only shorts I have are a size too small (or maybe more) and I have to really work to button them, and once I do, I feel awful in them. Not only are they uncomfortable, I feel super-unattractive in them. So, while we were out for dinner, we swung by Marshalls, and I got new shorts, in the size I usually wear these days... Only, I didn't try them on, and they turned out to be just as tight (if not tighter) than my other shorts, which were a size smaller. So did the summer-weight slacks I bought. I wasn't, apparently, feeling bad enough about my body, so I stepped on the scale, which only made me angrier. It was a bad, bad weekend, health-wise.
Monday I was ill and had forgotten to print out my work-out. So I did it yesterday. This week, workouts will be Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. And I better make myself on Saturday! On a happier note, this workout seemed much easier than the first time I did it with my trainer. Maybe because my muscles had time to completely heal up? Maybe because the AC was turned up higher? Who knows?
This was a different gym - one that didn't have 2.5lb weights. So, I had to adjust the amount of weight lifted a bit.
Dead lifts:
15 @ 35 lbs - 10 @ 40 lbs - 8 @ 50 lbs
Bent-over rows (using dumb-bells):
15 reps @ 10 lbs - 10 reps @ 15 lbs - 8 reps @ 20 lbs
Goblet Squats:
15 reps @ 20 lbs - 10 reps @ 25 lbs - 8 reps @ 30 lbs
Medicine Ball slams (6-lb medicine ball):
15 reps - 15 reps - 15 reps
Straight-leg Dead lifts:
15 reps @ 30 lbs - 10 reps @ 40 lbs - 8 reps @ 50 lbs
About 23 Minutes on the elliptical, doing 1-1 intervals. The higher resistance was at 6, the lower resistance was at 2. It said I burned about 203 calories.
