My Diary

Workout 2/12

Chest Press (on bench) 1x8@65, 1x8@65, 1x7@65
Bent Row 1x12@50
Squat and Overhead Press 1x7@40
Standing on 1 Leg - Duration
Skullcrushers on Stability Ball 1x10@35
Cross Chop with Squat 2x12@40
Reverse Fly 1x12@30
Step Up with Front Raise 2x8@25
Bicep Curl 1x12@30, 1x6@30
Dips from the Bench 1x20
Oblique Twists on Stability Ball 2x20
Ball Bridge - 2 minutes, 45 seconds
Crunches on Ball 1x20@20
Hip Raise and Leg Curl (Feet on Stability Ball) 1x20

Couldn't make that last rep for the chest press again (dang it) and really slowed down the Squat/Overhead Press, but the abs/midsection was the star today. After how sore I was after pilates (we did class on the ball), they seem to have bounced back.

Also I stepped on the scale today (though I'd not had my midmorning snack as I usually do beforehand), and it read 239. :) - I weigh myself under the same conditions when I get on the scale (even if it's after breakfast and my first snack) so I feel the numbers are valid.

33 Minutes Fat Burner (Elliptical), L12

I'm not sure how, but I had a good workout on the elliptical today - bumping up to 33 minutes and adding resistance. (Of course, watching Mr. Bean on my Ipod probably helped :))

Great job! Keep it up!
 
Workout 2/13

30 Minutes, Rower 30s/m, L4

On the off chance the gym might close early due to the weather, I figured I'd get in early and get some kind of a workout in. Other than getting a blister on the back of my left foot, I'm feeling ok so far.

Spinning

Heh can't be hardcore if you can't endure the nasty weather - was a good class and I'm glad I stayed, even if the way home was a bit slow.

You're so disciplined! I admire that! I have a hard time not celebrating w/ goodies, and with getting out to go to the gym when it's so cold out!

Anyways, I'm munching on a Peanut Butter Granola Bar right now- you were right- they're yummy! I love taste of the PB with the cranberry.

I do agree about the thinness though....

Thanks but I can't take credit for the gym part - the company I work for has a corporate wellness center, which is on the ground floor of the building I work in now. It's probably not unlike being in a hotel with a fitness center - just go down and do it.

Glad to hear about pb granola bars - as I keep saying, they're better than any store bought bar, and for about 10-15 minutes (if that) of actual work. The last batch I made I left in for about 35-37 minutes and checked the top to make sure it was firm. They were real granola bars then (the first batch was good but too crumbly) and very, very good.
 
I found the connection for the cam. :) This doesn't look as appealing as it really was. lol

Oh wow. I didn't realize ur building had the gym inside. I applied for a job (and almost got it!) where it was like that. So handy! Are you getting pummeled by snow? It hasn't started here yet. According to the kids, they have no school tomorrow...I haven't seen the closing yet, but considering we're expected to get close to, if not more than, a foot of snow, it doesn't surprise me.

Heh I know what you mean - I had to improvise a tenderizer since they didn't have any at the store... So... I got one of my 10lb weights, put saran wrap on one end and proceded to have at it. I was a bit cautious though since I didn't want to pound it too thin, so I erred on the side of caution. Mine kinda looked like a taco lol.

Yup it's begun - it took a while to get home but I made it with nothing happening. The roads were passable but I'd not go out on them again unless it was a dire emergency.

Looks pretty damn appealing to me. Then again..I usually eat plain chicken with raw veggies and occasionally a fruit. :p

..seriously. Is that not the way it's supposed to look? Lol, I guess I can cross connoisseur off my list of career possibilities.
 
It is the way it's supposed to look - I think what sparrow meant was that the picture doesn't do the original justice. It is very tasty, if a bit salty - will have to check the ingredients to find out what the culprit is....

yeah my camera didn't really capture how great it really did look in person NOR did it capture the smell :) I think I eat so blandly most of the time that anything remotely salty really strikes me. The feta cheese had a lot of salt, breadcrumbs probably did and for sure the smoked salmon sooo yeah it had some offenders. SUPER great recipe though. mmm

Well it's nice to finally meet you..lol The part of town I live in really isn't hickville, but we did have a couch on the front porch and broken down car in the garage that Greene finally got running last year. There are parts of town that you go down the street and it reminds you of deliverence, especially by the high school.
