Leg Day & Almost Pool Time

Gym Day
Today was gym day - legs and shoulders. I got my friend to meet me at the gym for the workout. Of course, it was semi-trickery. She's been avoiding Sunday Leg day since the first let workout. LOL I told her I wanted to do a boxing workout. She eagerly agreed and then it dawned on me that she thought that's all we were going to do.

Did I text her back...well hell no (evil laugh). We started with the same shoulder giant set I did last week then legs. Everything is 3x8.

GS
Upright rows
Incline rear delt flye
Overhead shoulder press with barbell

SS#1
Squats with low-end pulse
Plie squats

SS#2
Stiff-legged deadlifts
Calf raises (toes turned out)

SS#3
Some funky band walks she decided to toss out at me
Alternating front lunges

She ended up not sticking around for the boxing workout - Cathe's MMA Boxing. I did the first segment then the abs before stretching and calling it done.


Attempted Pool Time
My friend and her husband were going to run a few errands then come by for some pool time. It was deserved after all right? I just chilled out for a bit while Jason did yard work. Oh yes, he waited until the index was a nice 105.

My friends showed up around 2 and then the clouds promptly arrived as well. We floated around for a bit then came the thunder...then the lightening. We've been waiting on rain for days. Had chances of rain for days. Well, it finally showed up today while we were trying to enjoy some pool time. Hello rudeness! 

Oh well, can't win them all I suppose. We did still enjoy about an hour at least before the bottom fell out. At least I don't have to water the dying yard though.

Not sure what the dinner plan is going to be. Something simple sounds good to me actually. Of course, I don't do simple very well so we'll see what really happens. I am planning on just chilling out and enjoying the very last bit of the weekend though. I hope you all do the same!

Daily To-Enjoy List
  • Pool time (cut short)
  • No makeup, hair fixing day
  • Catching up on Big Brother

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th...

KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...
