Missed a workout yesterday. Stressed out to the max, studying for a test I’m feeling I’m gonna fail, snapped at a friend, pretty much threw myself a pity party and invited the ‘boys’ (being a pint of Ben & Jerry Karmall Sultra) Nope, it wasn’t pretty.
So this morning I packed up my gym stuff, packed my protein powders, creatine and a decided to try mixing it with apple juice before my workout (which I was DETERMINED I would get in today) instead of coffee like I have been. WOW!!!  I was seriously pumped to workout. Even though I was alone most of my workout - my friend is still on "injured reserve" - I was motivated !  Added an extra 25# to the leg extensions, #15 to leg curls, doubled the weight on the squats. But the best part was the leg press. It’s become my favorite exercise.  Today when I got on it, I could barely reach the sled (most of the guys who use that gym are obviously much taller than I).  But I was so pumped, I never looked at the weight on it before I released the safety and brought the sled down.  Funny the thought ran thru me head as soon as I released the safety :::  Um Deb, you have NO CLUE how much weight is on this machine! You’re gonna get squished like a bug!  In a basement gym, alone! :::

But   I didn’t !!!  LOL, I pressed 230# today!!  4 set, 6 reps each (ok, so the last one was a killer!)  yeah!!!

So I’m thinking I’m sticking with the creatine and applejuice pre-workout!  and hoping my partner comes back soon!  I miss you Geek!!!  :-p
