80's Party Recap & Enjoying Sunday

80's Palooza Recap
I should probably actually say what the 80's Palooza (official party name) was for. It was for a friend's 40th birthday that was actually last month. Stephanie is a long-time friend. She actually helped take some of our wedding pictures. So, you asked for pictures, so here they are:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Leg Day
Today I woke up around 7:15 thinking it was a lot later than it was. I tried to go back to sleep, but only managed another hour. I knew we had lots on the to-do list today, so I got on up. Around 10 we hit the gym. I decided to go for a heavy leg workout today. It was super windy out, not exactly calling for a run. I warmed up on the elliptical for 10 minutes then I did 3x8 unless noted:

Squats - 4x8
Plie squats
Stiff-legged deadlifts
Step ups
Deadlifts 3x6
Calf raises 3x15
Walking lunges

I finished with 5 more minutes on the elliptical and called it done. I felt like I had a really good, really strong workout. I have a feeling that tomorrow, hovering will not be possible.

Just Enjoying
After getting cleaned up, we headed out to run some errands. I was happy to stop by Home Depot to get some plants for all the pots in the back yard. I was going to pick up vegetable plants, but we needed to get manure for the garden beds and

Jason refused to put that in my car. So, hopefully we can get that this week and finally get veggies planted. We've never waited this late.

We ended up going to a great little Irish Pub for a patio lunch. That somehow seemed to trump the need for groceries. We'll get to those tomorrow I suppose. It was just way to gorgeous out to not sit and enjoy for a bit.

I do feel like I've been way too lazy on the weekends when it comes to errands and chores. But then I think, life's too freaking short to be worried about such things. I know they have to get done, and they will, but I want to enjoy my weekends more than I want to do laundry. I did get laundry done actually. Just little by little. The house got dusted, the floors swiffered, and plants got planted. We got in workouts and we enjoyed time with friends and each other. That's how it should be.

So did you take full advantage of your weekend?

Hump Day and More Pineapples

Full-Body Workout  I'll readily admit that getting up this morning was quite painful and almost didn't happen. I forced myself out of bed though not exactly excited about tackling a full-body Pyramid workout. Sort of daunting at 5 am really. I did the warm up from Shock Cardio Cardio Core Circuit (cardio only premix) then hit the weights. It was a pyramid up only so I increased my starting weight. I topped it all off with the first 2 1/2 drills from the cardio workout. I ran short on time and was basically spent. Squats into Plie Squats Step Ups (seriously hate these especially at 5:30 am) Incline Chest Flyes into Chest Press Pullovers into DB Underhand Rows Step Ups (freaking again) Static Lunges Overhead DB Press into Lateral Raises Deadlifts Kickbacks into Overhead Extensions Hammer Curls into Alternating Curls Calf Raises I am so excited to report that my new cross-trainers and running shoes arrived today. Can't wait to test both of them out. I waited way way way too

Hitting the Gym and Lazy Means Creative Tex-Mex Creation

Sunday, Gym Day Why do vacations and min-vacations go by so quickly? Just doesn't seem quite right. Anyway, we left Branson around 9:30 am to head back home. It was a pretty uneventful drive back, which is usually a good thing. We got home and unpacked, then I headed up to the gym. I started with a 10-minute treadmill run to warm up before hitting the weights for back and light legs then abs. I went with a giant set for back then supersets for legs. GS - 4x8 Underhand barbell rows Pullovers Double-arm rows SS#1 Rear-leg elevated lunges (Bulgarian Split Squats) - 3x8 Calf raises - 3x20 SS#2 - 2x8 Walking lunges Plie squats with low-end pulse Single-leg deadlifts - 2x8 I did some ab exercises, stretched, and called it quits. Lazy = Crazy Dinner I may have made it to the gym and washed a few loads of laundry, but I never made it to the grocery store - lounging in the pool trumped grocery shopping. This meant getting creative with dinner. We had another package
