Group Rid & Letters to Self

Spin Day
Today was spin for me. Though it was another gorgeous day out there. I definitely needed something other than running I'll admit. Unfortunately, just as spin started, so did the onset of a migraine. I stuck out the class. But I know that it certainly didn't help the migraine situation, and neither did my Imitrex.

My head was hurting so bad by the time I got to the medicine I just wanted to rip the packaging apart. I have no idea why it comes in huge freaking card that you have to tear into rather than a bottle with a cap that someone in pain might still be able to figure out. I have come to the conclusion that the person who designed the packaging has never had a migraine before.

Letter Day
Since I'm not thinking exactly clearly today, I thought I might try to do something a little light-hearted. It's either that or the next thing you see is that we're having fajitas tonight and are supposed to meet up with friends for a little celebration before her wedding this Saturday (she's not had any showers other than one at work). Anyway, I thought I'd do "letters" (bascially just thoughts to myself).
Dear Legs,
Where have we gone wrong? There was a time when I was easily running 6 and 7 miles and not feeling it the next day. Now you're betraying me, and I am not exactly happy with this turn of events.

So for the next run, can we please come to a compromise. You are only allowed to be sore when I am running an excess of 7 miles.

Thanks so much,
Me
Dear Migraine,
I really have no time for you...ever. We're over.

Sincerely,
Me
Dear Arms,
I really appreciate the way you are able to get through one of my crazy workouts. I love how you continue to lift even when the brain has other ideas, even when you're shaking, you push on. Maybe you can talk to Legs and get them straightened out for me.

Love,
Me

What letter(s) would you write today?

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

By
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
