Livin the gym life

Okay so I didn't wake up super early yesterday but I still went to the gym after work and it was great. And you know what? Surprisingly my arms aren't a whole lot of mush. Because after lifting weights yesterday and chillen on the stationary bike, my arms were just slowly moving to my side and did not want to lift again.

Yesterday was all about the biceps and triceps
5 sets of 10
- Bicep curl: 10 lb dumb bell
- teapot dips: 10 lb DB (3 sets), 7.5 lb (2 sets)
- tricep dips: 10 lb Db
- bicep curl: 12.5 lb db (1 set)

Machines
- biceps curl: 15 lb (2 sets), 20 lb (3 sets)
- tricep extension: 40 lb (1 set), 30 lb (4 sets)

+ 10 minutes on the stationary bike

Using a 10 lb dumb bell for my dips instead of 7.5 was HARD.
Some woman was using the dumb bells I needed and instead of waiting or rushing her workout I decided to murder my arms and try for the 10 lb.. I mean it was only 2.5 lb difference but holy shit what a difference it made!! I'm almost contemplating continuing with 10 lb dumb bells and doing less reps... or would I bulk? I don't even know.

Lunch break I also did a 60 minute walk / jog and it was exhilarating. I doubt I should be doing that much cardio today especially since tomorrow I'm going to walk to dinner (roughly 70 minutes) and then walk home after - it's a buffet. So I do not want to feel guilty. Which I already do...

So I brought my Hip Hop Abs DVD to work today. I'm going to work on Ab Sculpt - and I've decided to keep doing this workout every 3 days because I don't really work out my abdomen like I should. Before I forget, this morning I also did 200 abdomen assisted crunches - I wanted to do more but my abs were burning. It's been a week since I did some sort of abdomen / core session. As for what I've been eating, that will be for my next blog. Stay tuned!

Sleeping.

I feel like I've always taken advantage of sleep. The power of sleep - not one of life's wonders. You get a good night sleep, you're able to function properly the next day. I never truly appreciated the act of sleep until last night. I'm in bed roughly by 9 pm maybe 9:30 pm and I'm a light sleeper. (perfect mom quality might I add) Jack on the other hand goes to bed around 10:30 pm or 11:00 pm. He admitted he has FOMO - F ear O f M issing O ut but in regards to TV / Facebook videos so he's up watching something so that's the reason why he doesn't go to bed at the same time as me. Well last night the Leaf game was on - and I can only assume that they lost because I didn't hear any screaming at the TV then again I didn't hear anger either and Jack's pretty loud when it comes to Leaf games (major hockey fan). I only heard around 11:19 pm that he was heading to bed. And then the loud breathing started. I can't really tell if it'...

I'm hungry. Again.

Ever hear (and feel) that rumble in your stomach and wonder if you're truly hungry or just thirsty? I do, all the time too. So far today I drank 3 of my water bottles (each at 25 oz) and about to refill for bottle #4. I'm 99.9 % sure I'm hungry because a) I haven't eaten since 11:00 am (and it only makes sense I'm hungry) b) Starting to get a headache and c) I just chugged some water and I have that weird feeling in my stomach like - Hey, your water count is too high for the amount of food you have eaten which is practically nothing. Low carb, high protein.  And man does it feel good to eat. Honestly, it feels like I have been starving for a day and I could dance around in happiness after that first initial bite. I am going to devour this bowl of food.  Only 15 more minutes until I have to get back to work. Why does lunch always disappear so fast when I am on the computer but when I am outside for a walk it seems like its forever  Hopefully K-sta...

Oh hello

Hey there stranger, it's been awhile, hasn't it? I don't even know where to begin!! It feels nice and calm that my head is screwed in and I don't want it to EXPLODE. The speech went great. It was short and sweet - Jack went off his speech and did an amazing job. I was really impressed, his was pretty sweet. We were a bit taken a back because there was no podium. Jack wrote his speech on his phone.. so it was a bit weird for him but so did a couple other people. Actually one, it was one other person and it was Jamaal's family member so Jack shouldn't feel awkward or anything. YAY! Christine is married. I'm so happy for her. She has the whole week off - lucky goose. Then again, today is my Friday. Tomorrow is good friday so that's a day off but because I usually have fridays off, I get a lieu day so I GET MONDAY OFF TOO!!! Major smiles up in here. So lets get this show on the road shall we? Okay so this is what happens when you forget your protein ...
