Cardio Yesterday, Chest This Morning, Triceps+ Tonight
I can’t even lie–I feel tore up from the floor up. The combination of the new program and my impending cycle are doing a number on me, BUT that is not going to stop me from what I want/need to do. Believe me, it is a GOOD tired. It is a tired that lets me know that I am doing something new. And I think this is what this competition was about–a new challenge–and hopefully–a new aspect to my life! I had to kick myself out of bed and I got to the gym about 6 minutes after it opened. I did 10 sets of narrow-grip chest presses and got to about 7 sets of incline presses. I only had a few minutes and tried to throw in some tricep stuff but didn’t do nearly enough to have any sort of effect. So, it looks like I will be going back this evening for triceps, shoulders, and abs–as much as I can squeeze in in an hour.
I was going to take yesterday off, but decided to go for cardio. I stepped outside and the evening air was so perfect that I ended up running the lake (3 miles). I did that and stretched in under 30 minutes. Husband was impressed. That run used to take me over 45 minutes and it took a while to recover. I ran it comfortably, yesterday.

I made it do the gym for triceps and abs. I lost count of my sets I may have done 8 or so, definitely more than 6. I got a nice pump. I circuited overhead bb presses, cable press-down, and v-sits. I kept the reps for the v-sits at 50–it was really tiring, but worth it. Billy is going to be out of town so we won’t be meeting this Friday, but he wants to figure out a make-up session–oh boy! Now, to figure out what to eat!
