Saturday Recap & Lazy Sunday

Saturday Recap
Wow, yesterday was kind of nuts, but so worth it. As I mentioned, it started off with an 8-mile run (so proud to hit that mileage again). Then it was a rush to get myself ready to head out for the lake. Yes, I had to shower before going to the lake - encrusted in salt and grime from the run. Ick.

We got to the lake around 9:45 and pretty much immediately headed out on the boat. A and C couldn't wait to go "monster" tubing with Uncle Jason. He's such a trooper to take them out.
 
This year he talked to them about needing to practice falling out of the tube so they would be prepared in case they ever bounce out. To our utter shock, A and C both jumped out of the moving tube! Even more shocking, they came up laughing asking to do it again. I think Jason created monsters ;-)
 
 We finally convinced the kids that they needed to take turns - in other words, let other people get out there and do something like ski. I will say, skiing after a long run is a bit more challenging and tiring. Can we say second workout of the day?

 
 

After everyone was sufficiently water logged and worn out (and starving), we headed back to the shore for lunch. Unfortunately, we had to leave right after lunch to head back home so I could meet up with my friend for an afternoon snack at a place called Capis. I had never been, but had heard good things about it. My friend got an appetizer called an Avocado Bomb and I got their signature salad (minus bacon). The food was good, but the conversation far better. I had such a great visit with my friend, though 3 hours was definitely not long enough.

We had a birthday party to get to by 6:30 for one of my dear friends. It turned out to be a really nice party. I didn't take very many pictures actually. Just a few with the girls (minus 2 others who showed up a little later that I didn't really know) 
 
So, busy day, but one filled with family and friends.

Sunday

This morning I slept in until 8:30! Woohoo!! That's so late for me, but so deserved I believe. I didn't rush around after getting up either. I tried to play catch up on blogs and such before heading to the gym around 10am.

I'm leaving for Chicago on Wednesday and won't have access to weights for 10 days. So, I'm trying to get all my weight work done by Tuesday. That meant a longer workout today for shoulders, biceps, legs. I went with supersets of 3x8 unless noted.

SS#1
Biceps curls
Shoulder press

SS#2
Hammer curls
Lateral raise

SS#3
Cross-body curls
Front raise

SS#4
Squats
Stiff-legged dead lifts

SS#5
Alternating lunges
Plie squats

SS#6
Steps ups - 2x8
Calf raises - 2x15

I stretched for a bit before heading home and going straight for some pool time after my post-workout snack. Surely I deserve the pool time after all that right? So today is a more lazy, relaxed day for us. Much needed actually.

Happy Sunday!

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
