Where's the Beach?

Rest Day on Thursday  Today is like my Friday as I am off work tomorrow. My legs are screaming at me from yesterday's hill repeats, so I am happily taking today as my rest day. I will, however, admit that it's sort of hard to take today off. It's another gorgeous day and I believe I'm getting addicted to the lunchtime runs. But, I'll behave myself and listen to my body. Tomorrow I plan on starting a new weight rotation. Really looking forward to that actually. I am taking the concept of the Chad Waterbury Total-Body Training rotation that I did previously but with a little bit of a change. I felt that it was an awesome upper body rotation. I saw some real gains in that area, however, lower body seemed to suffer. So rather than doing 3 total body days working each muscle group with only one exercise, I am going to alternate between total body with more leg work, an upper only with plyo legs, then another total body with more leg work. The the general set up is that...

On the Mends Well today I actually made it out of the house and to work. Still feeling a little shaky, but at least I managed real clothes, makeup, and got outside. I think that being sick is giving me a new perspective on things. I definitely appreciate food a little more right about now. I also realize that I take it for granted that I am almost always healthy and strong enough to exercise. With that being said, after work, I decided to do Shock Cardio Step Moves . I probably should not have done anything, but after 2 days of being a blob, I really had to do something to get moving again. This is a fun workout. I've only done it once before. It's fairly low impact. While it's listed as "advanced" I'd suggest that's mostly because some of the choreography can be a little tricky. I really felt better after I did the workout. I also took some time to stretch as well.  Easy Dinner = Pre-Made Eggplant Cannellini Burgers I really wasn't up for making...
