My oh my. It was a SUPER BUSY day for me! After Brad left for work, I got online for a bit while drinking my protein shake and eventually the painter came to put the final paint on the bathroom ceiling, then another guy that works at the apartments pressure washed the entryway and water actually came in.. ugh. Happened to my neighbor too and her carpet got wet because of it! She filed a complaint. I thought about going to the park to meet up with a church friend, but I needed to work on my college paper, so that’s what I did. I got a page or so done! Oh, and also started laundry, washed dishes… usual. My neighbor wanted me to help her bring in a box from her car, so I helped her then came back to feed Katie and put her down for nap. Time was FLYING! I fixed my lunch, then finally got to just have a little time to do NOTHING, so first I called Mom to check on her and she said her CT came back good! Yay!! She said she’ll prob watch Katie for us tomorrow night. I laid down and took a small nap on the couch. Went across the hall again to help my neighbor for a bit and came back for Katie’s snack and more play time. Ummm, steamed some more squash, folded laundry, and went back to my neighbor’s house real quick to help put ear drops in her kitty’s ears to help her. Came back and folded laundry, put it away, and started our dinner for later. SHEWWWW. Waited on Brad, then when he came home — got ready and took Katie to my friend’s house once again. Left for my new home =D
My thighs/butt/legs were still a bit sore, but I felt pretty good. Stats for tonight –
warmup, elliptical cross trainer (standing), 1.7 miles, 11 minutes, 112 calories
steppers – 2X, 1 minute (really had me sweating!)
squat/raise – 2X, 15 reps
leg push-offs – all the way up with one leg, then all the way back with the other
glute – 3X, 110lbs, 10 reps
calf extension – 3X, 110-130lbs, 10 reps
hip abduction – 3X, 25lbs, 10 reps
virtual bike – 30 minutes, 7.22 miles, 317 calories (WHEEE! my mouth got SO DRY)
elliptical – 16 minutes, 1.70 miles, 148 calories
Brad was finished before me – as he always is and so he went to get a yogurt slushie and I had like 7 minutes left on the elliptical and he brought me over some of the slushie to share! OMG, I WAS SO THANKFUL because my mouth was bone dry. I had water but I don’t stop unless I can’t stand it anymore, which never happens. I think I sweat the most tonight! I slammed down a post-workout blend afterwards (kindof like gatorade, except it’s powder Brad bought) and also had a banana that I brought along. Oh, and we checked out body fat and mine has come down a little! WOOOOOOOHOOOOO! I was 33.3% and tonight it was 32.6%, so not much reduction but I’LL TAKE IT, esp. since I went calorie overboard last weekend. We headed out and came back to get Katie, so she could get a bath and go to bed.
Wow, it’s almost midnight ALREADY. I actually washed my hair, lol. I’ve kept it up all week, since we got to the gym so much, but yea it was time for a wash and I’ll fix/style it in the morning. Tomorrow will be a rest day, BUT I am gonna keep my calories straight all weekend and next week and the next and the next! Just gotta be sure to re-fuel enough after my workouts or else it will take a big toll on my body and I’ll get sick, like a cold or sinus infection. NO THX. I feel good right now, but need my sleep! Plan on hopefully going to get my eyebrows waxed tomorrow evening and maybe even a hair trim, then grocery shoppings! Gotta buy some more protein powder and am prob gonna get some sort of Whey Protein Isolate. *squee!* I’m so stoked to be back at exercise in this way again. Will be interesting to see where I get in the next few months. Mine and Brad’s arm muscles are already growing a little! =)
Great day, except for after we came in the door tonight…… I looked over and saw that my female betta had passed. =( Not sure what happened, but I hope the male will be ok! I might get another male, but I dunno. RIP little Isadore.
That’s a wrap for tonight! Wishing everyone a great night!!! Thankful, grateful, blessed. Always.
