My internal alarm clock needs to be thrown against a wall. Wide awake at 5:15. Up by 6. I truly thought I would sleep much later considering that Thursday was a long day and ended with an hour long ZUMBA class, at which, I think I pulled something during a salsa move....my hips are unstoppable.
Felt a little sluggish this morning and thought my workout would drag along as well. But honestly, I had a great workout...shoulders, core, and yes even some cardio at the end. I know, I know!! But I'm holding the majority of my fat around my inner thighs and butt (shocker), so a little cardio wouldn't exactly kill me. My husband says my legs are huge...which is sort of a compliment when you spend half your life squatting and leg pressing an ungodly amount of weight, but...its also a wake-up call that I've got some 'ol LB's to lose. I will gradually bump up the cardio a little, but nothing ridiculous. Heaven forbid I exceed my sanity-limit....which is quite low right now. I see Brian and Morven in there watching a movie while biking for over and hour and I can literally feel the acid churning in my stomach at the thought of it. My crotch aches at the thought of sitting on a bike for more than 10 minutes. Why no one has invented a pillow-top bike seat is a mystery to me. Even toilet seats are more comfortable....attach that to two wheels and I might partake.
Workout:
Standing BB press 4 x 10-12
Seated alternating shoulder press(8x each)/ss arnold press (6-8x)
Lateral raises 3 x 12
Y-raises 3 x 12
1/2 sit-up, legs extended 3 x 15
Leg lifts on BOSU 3 x 15
Crunch on BOSU 2 x 15
35 minutes cardio
I've been pretty surprised that my cravings have been to a minimum lately. While my diet pretty much consists of the same 7-8 foods per day, my carbs are at the highest they'll be throughout this entire process....so that explains part of it. Once I start to taper those, life will get a little interesting. My blog might come with a parental advisory sticker at that point.
Well, on to bed....this day has been long enough. I've got sprints tomorrow and rest on Sunday. Can't wait.
I'm right there with you on bike seats. Although I'm laughing at the image of a toilet seat attached to pedals, I think I'd also go for that over a crotch biter.
