Under the Weather!
For those of you that know me well, I’m about to tell you something that you probably should be sitting down for : Ready??? :. You’re girl here has is sick and:. Going to stay home and::.. REST!!!! Shocked??? I’m shocked! My hubby’s shocked! I just can’t fight the feeling. The first indication I got this morning that I needed to rest, is when the alarm went off : and then 15 minutes later I woke up: I did get up, and I did start getting ready but while making breakfast I just felt like I was struggling way to much and that it would do me soo much good to not fight the feeling and stay home and get my rest.
I have a sore throat and my head is feeling very heavy. E says he can hear the cold in my voice. So, I’m hoping that by resting up today I can feel better and refreshed by tomorrow.
Before I sign off and head back to bed, I have to tell you about my kickass Back, Delts and Ab workout yesterday.
Slightly feeling under the weather, I managed to kick ass with the Deadlifts (bending knee ones). I started with 185 lbs for 12 reps, then moved up to 205 for 12 reps, and then did my last set at 215 for 10 reps. It felt wicked!!! Gosh, I love that exercise soo much! Following that, I did 3 sets of undergrip pulldowns. Man, my forearms were burning by my 3rd set. It was crazy!!! I had a couple of supersets after that which felt good to do. Hey Shaun, you need to demonstrate your overhead cable crossovers again. I’m so used to how I used to do it from the back, that I’m still unsure of the form for the way you’ve shown me to do them.
For my abs, I did an amazing Ab roller superset. You start by putting a 10 lbs weight underneath the head flap of the ab roller. Then complete 30 reps of crunches on the ab roller, then immediately turn your body to face the other way. So, your legs are where your head just was: get it? Then hook your legs into the top of the ab roller and bring your head down and hold onto to the foot bar with each hand. Then, using your feet, curl in. If you can visualize what I just explained, try it out and tell me you don’t feel the burn! Following that, I did the crazy Ab and Pushup ball routine that Jully demo’d for us on one of her blogs titled €˜I’m Back’ posted February 15th. It’s CRAZY!!! My abs were killing for days after the first time I did it!
So, the medication is now kicking in, and I need to get some rest before my 9 AM conference call. Yes, I said I was staying home to work : but did not say I would not be working from home :. There’s always a catch huh! Ha-Ha.
