 Today was absolutely gorgeous outside… sunny and 67!  That crazy New England weather will do that to you though… it was such a tease because soon enough it will be back to the frigid temperatures… which I can’t say I mind, I like hot summers and cold winters.

I had another great day today with super clean eats and lots of activity.  I did two 1 hour yoga classes… the instructor has seen me at every class this week and was like "back for more? you just can’t get enough can you?"  I just smiled but was really thinking that I am going to get my money’s worth for the extra ‘mimd/body’ pass that I had to buy for $60 in addition to my gym membership to go to these classes… they are gonna be sick of seeing me by the time I am though with them… and hopefully I will be loose and limber to boot!  I use to be a competitive gymnast… back in the day… haha… like oh, 12 years ago LOL… but anyhoo… I almost have my spilts back!  CRAZY… haven’t been able to bust those out since I was knee high to a grasshopper…. but I digress…

So I did 2 hours of yoga today, 35 minutes of cardio on the ARC trainer with high elevation and high resistance, and followed it up with more lower body work (even though I did some lower body stuff yesterday I want to save my upper body weight work for tomorrow when I can really put a lot of time and focus into it)… so I completely destroyed the leg press machine with 5 sets of 12 reps at 200 lbs then using one leg only 3 sets of 12 reps at 75 lbs on each leg… I don’t know if it was the one scoop of the SUPA PUMP talking but I was feeling pretty good and thought why stop there?  So I also did the glute kickback machine and maxed out the weight at 140 lbs and did 3 sets of 12 on each leg…. (side note… I have never maxed out the weights on a machine… I wanted more too lol… SUPA PUMP???  maybe?  I dunno?)  Then still feeling ready to conquer the world I did prone hamstring curls 3 sets of 12 at decreasing weights, but I was definitely rocking out more than I thought I could have… so hopefully I will feel it in my walk tomorrow… I like looking crippled the next day… it makes me very proud   Overall I burned 1143 calories… not too shabby  ( I heart my heart rate monitor!)

Time to go refeul   G’night!
