I've been feeling strong.
Funny how just a little bit of tweaking to my food intake will do that. :-)
Today was a full body strength kind of day. Legs, thighs, glutes, bis, tris, chest & shoulders kinda day. I opted to skip the treadmill entirely and did just my own little 4 minute warm up. Then I pulled out The Firm Total Muscle Shaping with Stephanie Huckabee. It had been a looong time since I had done this one. During the cardio intervals, I did heavy strength moves. Extra squats, lunges, shoulder press, medial delt curls, deadlifts, and ass to grass squats. I continued with that even after that the DVD ended.
I really wanted to get in that hour workout. A one hour workout is 4% of your day. That was a photo on Facebook. How true it is.
Everyone has an hour. At least an hour to dedicate to themselves.
In my hour, I burned 448 calories.
I've been feeling strong.
I love feeling strong.
I love being strong.
I love looking strong.
Have a feeling the soreness will be even more noticeable tomorrow, when I go to WI.
Which by the way, I know will be a good one. Mixing things up, experimenting & what have you seem to have done the trick. (Fingers crossed!)
Why does my hair look like I just rolled out of bed? Why do I look like such a hot mess? Why do I look sleepy? Can you see my collar bone and my shoulder definition???
Do you love all my questions? Hehe.
OK, bed time. I need to get my sleeps in!

Everyone has an hour for themselves? Welcome to my life: my five yr old wakes me up by crawling into my bed at 5:30. I decide to get up and get a workout in since I'm awake anyway. As I try to sneak downstairs, my baby wakes up and demands to nurse. When he's down I start warming up by then it's after six and the toddler comes down and cries to be held. I try to pick him up and keep goon but the baby sees I'm holding his brother and puts up a ruckus. I feed them breakfast and struggle p finish my workout - which was only supposed to be 15 minutes to begin with! I do finish, but in late for work and scramble through my shower and getting dressed. Work through lunch because I got in late (again). Get home at 5:30 to a baby who needs to nurse and a houseful of hungry kids. Juggle getting dinner on the table with screaming baby the homework nd packing food for tomorrow. At least am hour of bedtime then I need to finish up some work stuff. Then it's ten o'clock and I have a choice between getting some exercise and getting enough sleep to function in the am. I decide to workout, but the baby cries again and I lie down with him to nurse and fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteAn hour? I'm hard pressed to find five minutes.
