Two laps around the lake (2.8 miles).. DONE!
Upper body, the one that is the other half of "Standing legs"... DONE!
I had cardio day yesterday, it was going to be hot, I had to drop off LB in town, so I went to the lake (which is about 7 minutes away from VBS) and did two fast laps. I speed walked them, trying to get the energy from my hips moving, my abs tight and my torso rather than the energy and movement from my shins and calves. It was great! I don't get nearly as out of breath, but I get a GREAT workout in. I held in the ttapp way the best I could!
this morning I did the upper body that is on the "standing legs" DVD. It was really good! It's all Volume 1, 2 and 3. For some reason, I decided to try to go to 15's as my heavy weight. That was a mistake! The first time I did overheads to lateral delts to biceps, I dropped to 12's again. I am feeling my biceps though! I still used 15's on my lat rows. That was a tough workout! It was only 40 minutes, but the amount of pushups and over head presses was insane!
I was planning on doing standing legs tomorrow, but we will see if my upper body can take holding onto the weights!
I felt so buff and in shape and skinny after the workout, but while I was out and about I caught a look at myself in the mirror and was so sad. I still look like a fat old lady! My arms are large (they always have been but they've gotten bigger... lots of times I can fit in a smaller shirt but the arms are too tight so I have to go up a size) and my tummy still sticks out. It's depressing. But I felt good!
My upper body sure is feeling todays workout though. So tomorrow I might go walk around the lake again, or do a cardio. Depends on when I wake up.
Thursday is CONCRETE POURING DAY!! I am excited. I am a little apprehensive since DH got a watery-er mix of concrete this time, so I am afraid of blow outs. However, I am so happy this will be our final pour of concrete for the walls! Then we have trusses, and hopefully roof before it snows. Ugh. I hope we get the roof on.
Then plumbing and electrical and doors and windows and garage doors and garage floor... it's still gonna be a while. But at least we are doing final concrete pour for the walls!
I am hopeful we can start using it this time next year!!
Today was busy... LB did VBS, I got some potting soil (cheap!) and stuff we needed at Walmart, then I got her, ate lunch, and we headed to a friends. Then she did karate. We got home about 6, it's now 7:30 and just finished dinner! It doesn't sound like much, but it took our whole day!
Ebianco: Lower body split was so hard!! I loved it though. The abs at the end sure had my abs sore yesterday though! I really noticed them on my walk. I was so pooped yesterday... probably from the workouts and the walk, that I took an hour and a half nap yesterday! LB just let me sleep too. HA! I love that you plan in rest days. I just take them whenever I am too pooped to workout! Or I take easy days. I envy that you can plan them in and still go back to working out!!
Eventmom: You and your DH are falling apart! HA! I'm glad it's cooling off for you guys too. Our day today was hot (about mid 80's in town) but this evening is so perfect. Kinda cool but not so cool we need to wear long sleeves even. Just so pleasant and quiet!
