Thursday, Jan 14th Workout, I'll post food later

It was soooo hard for me to get out of bed when the alarm went off at 4:45am this morning. Some mornings it’s just like that. I hit my snooze and even came up with an excuse for why I should just sleep in and skip working out but thank God I was able to talk myself out of it, drag myself out from under the covers and get my butt in gear.

Yesterday I mentioned that we didn’t work our core much at all….. but, BOY, did we make up for it today!!!! This workout was a bit different because there wasn’t much cardio at all. We spent the entire time doing mostly strength stuff. It was strange for me to come home without a sweat soaked shirt but I’m sure I’ll feel it in my abs tomorrow.

The coolest part of this morning was that I weighed myself and found out that I’ve lost 6 more lbs since the last time I weighed myself. That’s 14lbs since I started watching what I’m eating!! I was really excited about this and it gives me a ton more motivation to keep going. Some people don’t weigh themselves and I used to be one of those people . What I’ve realized though, is that weighing myself helps me to stay accountable. It helps me to see that #1, I haven’t gained weight and if I have gained weight I’m doing something wrong and #2, that I’m hopefully losing weight and that I should keep up what I’m doing. I think that everyone needs to find their own motivations but, for me, weighing myself once every 1-2 weeks has helped out.


Here’s what we did in our 50minutes at boot camp this morning:

Today was a TRX day. For those of you who don’t know what TRX is you can check it out at www.fitnessanywhere.com . I have to say these days are my favorite. TRX gives a great full body workout and can get your heart rate up to 140.

Today, our TRX Exercises Included:

• Wide leg squats

• Flys

• 3 different kinds of rows to work out our backs

• 2 different kinds of pushes to work out our chests

• 1 arm Bicep curls (much harder than two)

• Oblique twist thingys (yes, technical name)

Then, when we weren’t doing TRX we did the following with free weights:

• Push-ups

• Military presses

• Flys

• Rows

• Over head lifts

And, of course, lots of core work including:

• Front Plank

• Crunches

• Crunches holding 10lbs above our chest

• Side crunches lifting hand with weight to opposite knee

• Crunches with legs straight in the air, reaching for our feet

• Reverse Crunches

• Crunches where we made a circle with our head/core

• Crunches where we made a circle with our legs

• Crunches laying on our side and holding weights on our ribs

• I’m sure there were 1-2 more, but I’m forgetting what they were…..


I'll be posting my food at the end of the day!
