Lazy Sunday

Gym Sunday
Last night didn't go quite as expected, but probably more fun. Apparently there were some issues with the cable company and pay-per-view, so no game on the TV. For me, not a problem of course. We sat outside at our friends' and enjoyed a great evening nonetheless.

It was really a pleasant evening to be outside. A nice change for our weather. So, no game, but more conversation and fun instead. I was a bad blogger, so no pictures.

This morning I hit the gym for shoulders and back. I did supersets of 3x8 starting with 10 minutes on the elliptical for a warm up.

SS#1
Arnold press
Pullovers

SS#2
Upright row
Single-arm row

SS#3
Lateral raise
Rear flyes

It was a pretty short workout. Nothing exactly exciting, but I got it done.

Lazy Sunday
After the gym, I headed over to Home Depot to pick up some home decor project essentials like paint, a new cover for a ceiling fan, nail filler and such. Of course the shad didn't fit so that meant a trip back later in the day to trade for a less appealing shade, but one that at least fit.

Jason had gone for a run - his first day of his half marathon training plan. When he got back, he was starving and so was I. We decided to misbehave and go get pizza for a late lunch. We went to a place we enjoy, but haven't been to in quite some time. They have a pretty decent salad bar that I usually hit up for a starter/appetizer. Plus, it makes me feel a little less guilty about the pizza after loading up on veggies ;-)

After lunch, we returned the ceiling fan shade and went back home where we proceeded to be lazy. Well, with the exception of me installing the shade. Not a super exciting Sunday, but not a bad one either. Tomorrow we'll be painting a bathroom, so I'll make up for today's laziness I suppose.

Not really sure what we'll end up doing for dinner. We're both still too full to think about it actually. We briefly discussed Sushi Sunday, but looking at the lazy factor already going on in this household, that my not really happen unless the dogs get creative and decide to make it. (don't I wish)

Happy Sunday!

Mid-Week Mix-Up - Disconnecting to Reconnect

Another Double Workout This morning I got up when Jason got up to go to swim. The plan was to do Cathe's MMA Kickboxing DVD then do back and triceps at lunch or after work. I really needed a day off from running - I had run 5 days straight. And wouldn't you know it that my cross-training day also happens to be the first morning in months that it was in the low 60's. Really? Talk about bad timing. I almost feel like I let the universe down by not taking advantage of the crazy cool temps. And of course they go right back up the rest of the week. Humph.... But, I listened to my body, my feet, my piriformis...all telling me to not run. So, I didn't. I did my kickboxing workout (sulking just a bit I won't lie). But it was a good way to "kick" off the morning. During lunch, I ran home to get in my back and triceps weights done. I went with my same back and triceps workout as last week. No gym means no assisted pullups or barbell rows. So, I do worry a bit

Workout Wednesday - Body Blaster Tabata

Happy Hump Day! I wanted to thank everyone for their comments on yesterday's post: Be Kinder to Your Body. Calories are Not the Enemy . It sounds like it resonated with many of you. Today I wanted to share a new workout with you. I've been working on interval workouts for some of my clients. I try to give them the most bang for their buck (time). I know that in an ideal world, we would all have time to do longer workouts. There would never be scheduling conflicts, sick husbands or kids, or sick us. In reality, workouts need to be effective and efficient. And they don't have to be lengthy to be effective and efficient either. There's no need to spend hours in a gym to get in a good workout. Interval workouts like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or tabata, or even interval running are great ways to get in a fantastic workout in a short amount of time and have many benefits. You can read more about Tabata workouts  here .
