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

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
