On a Boat Recap & Trying for Normal Day

I'm On a Boat Recap
Yesterday was another great day with friends and my sis. After Sarah and I hit the gym, we packed up and headed to the lake. Our friend has a family cabin on the lake that we could use. We just expected to be floating around in the lake, but her uncle had a boat that he said we could all use.

Let's just say that this song was sung a great deal, in various versions.





At one point, we had a "We're on a Raft" version going. And yes, alcoholic beverages did indeed play into this being far more hysterical than it actually was.

My friend's family ended up showing up so we did have to share the boat. So in the end, we did just float in the water near the cabin. But absolutely no complaining for certain.


Monday Funday
Since today is a holiday, Jason and I were both off work. I needed this 3-day weekend in a big way. I actually managed to sleep until 8:15. Of course, this was after Maddie woke everyone up at 6-ish, then 7.

Since every day can't be about pool parties and hanging on the lake, I guess today was more normal. I hit the gym for a run and then biceps and back. If I had gotten up earlier, I would have probably gone for a run outside. But it was just too hot and I was being lazy.

I did 3 miles total on the treadmill with 4 1:00 minute athletic intervals thrown into the mix. I then hit the weights. I did a superset for biceps/back of 3x8 then drop sets after.

SS
Incline bicep curls
Pullovers

Bicep curls - 6,8,10 (dropping weights quickly between sets)
Double-arm rows - 6,8,10 (dropping weights quickly between sets)

After the workout, I hit the grocery store, which was insanely packed. I guess everyone was out restocking their beer supply (no beer sales on Sunday) and loading up on grilling goods for the evening.

We did attempt a little bit of pool time, but the clouds rolled in on us, so we got out and headed out for a late lunch. The rest of the evening will be a lazy one - just trying to enjoy the last bit of time off before reality strikes tomorrow.

I hope everyone has had a great 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
