Happy Tuesday! Guess what happens tomorrow!?!???
Yes, tomorrow is WIAW, but guess what else happens!!!????
I GO HOME!!!!
Can you tell I'm excited? In a little over 24 hours, I will be boarding a plane to Kansas City and I CANNOT WAIT. I haven't been home in over 3 months and I miss it like crazy! I got to go home a lot last semester because of a couple weddings (one being my brother's!!!) so it's been weird not to go home at all this semester!
Okay, got that out of my system. Now onto my roomie and how she will not allow me to be productive. Most of you out there either have real work or school work to do, right?
Have you ever attempted to do that work with a 5 month old puppy clambering for your attention?
It ain't easy.
She decided the best way to get my attention would be to jump up on my chair, and then climb into my lap. At first I thought she wanted to help with my tax outline. Then I realized she just thought my notebook tasted good.
Very good, apparently.
I did take a break to practice a few tricks with her. Check this out, 5 months old and she can already roll over and play dead. Neither of my dogs growing up even attempted such a feat. Granted, I don't think my parents had time to be teaching unnecessary tricks with three children running around
After taking Molly on her morning walk, I headed over to the gym to pump some iron! Since I workout with my trainer tomorrow, I didn't want to focus on one body part in general, so I opted for a full-body strength training session. These are usually my favorite because it's really easy to mix things up and use some of my favorite machines!
I started out with 10 minutes on the elliptical and then 10 minutes running (I wanted to shake out my legs after my 10 miles on Saturday).
Full Body Strength Training Workout
Superset*: Pull ups and tricep dips (on weight-aided machine) 3 sets of 15 reps
Split Stance lunges on machine (I added 90lbs): 3 sets of 15 reps on each leg (did crunches in between sets - 50 x 2).
Straight arm side twist: 3 sets of 15 reps on each side
Superset*: leg extensions and hamstring curls, 3 sets of 15 reps
Superset*: seated row and chest fly, 3 sets of 15 reps
* A Superset is where I switch back and forth between two exercises with no break in between. Saves time and keeps your heart rate up!
I finished off the workout with 5 minutes walking at 4.0 mph at a 7 incline, and then stretched out and headed home for some Pumpkin Bread Protein Oats!
What is your favorite post-workout meal?
Do you like doing weights for one particular part of your body (like arms or legs), or doing a full-body session?
