Friday AM: Biceps, Calves, and Cardio
I love seeing veins. I love the thicker ones in my forearm that plump up when I lift–those are new! And I can’t wait until I have a nice thick one running down my bicep. That’s enough of my ‘vein dreams’.
This morning was biceps and I decided to do calves. I did them until I thought they woud knot up on me. My biceps are actually the leanest part of me. I did: bb curls (30# to warm-up), db curls (I’m stuck at 35#, right now), incline curls, and hammer curls. For calves I hit the seated and standing calf machine and did the 3 toe positions on each. My morning weight was 135, down from 138 two weeks ago. I meet with Frank tomorrow afternoon. The only news I would like to hear is that I am down from 18%–anything else is icing on the cake.
I followed weights with 20 minutes of HIIT on the bike. Man, it’s no joke. It’s just a burn you can’t get away from! But with only 20 minutes I hung in there. I am going to do legs tomorrow. But I am leaning towards a run and some stairs.
Tonight, the family and I devoured some Boston Market chicken–one of the perks of an off-season. I had the green beans even though I would have liked to just bathe in the mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. I did have one cornbread. I’m going to freeze the other two for another time. I think I my abs are beginning to get some stimulation. I can see 4 distinct, fluffy, pads–here’s hoping!
