Let’s get it on!
I’m glad the week is well under way. It’s so much easier to stay disciplined during the busy week. Sunday, my rest day, was difficult to refrain from grazing. I ate clean all through the day until after dinner. Let’s just say I made some post dinner mistakes. I also stayed up late watching Tenacious D, Pick of Destiny. Ok, time not well spent but some good laughs.
I woke up late on Monday (duh, can’t stay up late watching movies on a Sunday night) which caused me to miss my cardio. Crap, off to a bad start. I had a 4:30 appt with my trainer for a ½ of core conditioning but work kept me so I missed the session. We rescheduled for today. I did get in the gym though and worked out my legs. It was a good workout. I’ve been focused on good form with squats and getting my ass to the grass.
So I had a good idea. Since I missed my cardio I decided to participate in the conditioning exercises that I’m having my 5th grade girls soccer team do. It’s an hour and a half practice so we spent the first half hour on conditioning. I did everything along with them. They probably didn’t appreciate it too much because I found myself pushing harder than what they thought they could do (not too hard – not trying to hurt them). I think I will make this a regular thing. It’s a good way to get some extra conditioning in and better for leading by example.
Today, I woke up later than I wanted but I decided to go in and do my cardio anyway. So cranked out 15minutes on Cybex (7.5 min on level 75/100 and 7.5 min at 65/100), 20 minutes on treadmill and 10 minutes on stair stepper. Came home and weighed in at 215lb – yes! Now, can I keep it at 215lb? That will be my week’s goal – weigh in at 215lbs this time next week BEFORE I go in and do my cardio.
Time to get to work – hitting core tonight for ½ hour and I think I’ll hit my back.
