My workouts this week
Monday - Triceps & Abs
Monday I worked out on base. I really don’t like working out there anymore because it’s not motivating for me. I also had a headache so alot of cardio was out of the question. I felt pretty strong but did a short workout. I’m up to 3 sets of 12 dips now and Tricep pushdowns up to 55 lbs. Only ran for 20 minutes but it was full out run so not too bad
Tuesday - Glutes & Calves
Felt really good today, wasn’t tired at all. Had a really good glute workout and got in 35 minutes of cardio. My husband insists on coming with me now because maybe he thinks something is up…weird…kind of hard to squeeze in an affair showing the results that I have. Anyhow, I feel that he’s holding me back from my workouts. I like to go alone and work at my own pace and leave when I’m done. He ended up waiting 15 min downstairs for me but I wanted to do more cardio. Oh well, next week he’ll just have to wait longer. He’s working out 2x a day on Monday and Tuesday which is totally insane at 53 yrs old. Not like he’s 20 anymore.
Wednesday - Chest & Abs
Today was really weird. It seemed like I had no strength. Can’t remember if I switched my workout around last week because I was alot stronger. I always do flyes first before I do anything but I think I’m going to have to lower the weight because it’s tiring me out in the beginning. I did 4 sets 20/25/30/35 at 10 and 12 reps. A little much for a warmup. I’ll try doing cable flyes to warm up next week. I got to chest press and really didn’t feel that I could do 95 lbs this time but I still got 6 in and then I refused to give up and did 4 of 100lbs. one more than last week but I just felt that it was harder. Same with the Hammer Strength upper chest machine, last week I went up to 90lb and this week I was only able to do 80lbs. Did some 110 lb. cable crunches and cable side bends for obliques.
Thursday
Decided that I would take a day off from strength training since I has such a crappy day yesterday to see if I can lift a little more tomorrow for my leg day. So I just went in and did 50 min of cardio and burned 590 cals. Today was really exciting for me because for the first time in my entire life I see two veins in my left arm. Not sure why the left because I’m right handed and usually stronger on the right. Anyhow, I have a small vein popping up on my left shoulder and my bicep….success!!!! Finally!!!! I feel a huge accomplishment. Oh…and I finally lost a pound. Now down to 126lbs. I haven’t lost anything in almost 2 weeks since I started taking creatine but I’ve still been losing inches. Lost another 1/2" off my leg (the problem area) in the past week! I’m starting to look smaller. I don’t want to be too much smaller because I don’t want to have to buy a whole new wardrobe, I just want to be very lean but I think I’m going to end up looking a little skinny…not what I want. Skinny is gross. Okay…that’s it…peace out…
One more thing…I went for a tan today because traditionally May 1st is when I start my base tan for the summer. Note to self, when they tell you to go in for 10 minutes…only go for 7…burnt to a crisp…I look like a freakin’ lobster and everyone was staring at me at the gym and I know it was because I looked like a retard…
