Almost didn’t make it
Well, as I promised, it’s back to the grind this week. However, yesterday I almost didn’t make it to the gym. I teach two classes back to back every Monday morning, and it takes me a while to recuperate in order to complete my Monday leg routine successfully. Not to mention I had a test yesterday, and an assignment due before midnight that had not been touched over the weekend. So, there I was in the kitchen, cooking dinner for my husband and I. I had just about convinced myself that I shouldn’t go and work out. I was tired, but not that tired. As I began straightening up the kitchen, I say to my husband, "Babe, I don’t think I’m going to the gym tonight", to which he replies, "Yeah, I knew you weren’t going today". Well folks, that did it! I finished cleaning, got dressed, and had a kick ASS workout! It’s ok for my husband to miss weeks of workouts, but I get criticism when I skip one??? Well, I showed him!
It was hard getting back into it last night. I have recently reached the 200 lb. mark on the leg press. I have been away from the gym for about a week, but I decided not to drop weight. And to my surprise, the leg press felt better today than it had the last time I did it. It was rough, but I made it through, and it felt right. My legs and butt are on fire today, just the way I like it!! I always remind myself about being consistent. It’s amazing how the numbers at the gym slowly decline during this time of year. I’m determined to be one of the last women standing!!!! At least I won’t have to wait to get in the squat rack! Lord knows come January 1st, there will be a line out the door just to get on the elliptical machine.
