Fitness Bump

I went running yesterday. I used to run every day but havent in probably 8 years. I'm going to start again, i like it for the mental health benefits if nothing else

 

TRX Lunges and Squats + 500 Calorie Cardio session.

 

Heavy leg day with a little bit of lats at the end. I used the progressive overload technique and increased the weight on my front barbell squats to a total of 85 pounds.

My trainer had me grunting today, that is for sure.

 

Sciatica acting up. Not going to the gym. :bigcry:

 

Ouch, that sounds painful. Embrace the time off. Your body is trying to tell you something.

That is how I got through two weeks without working my legs.

 

Thank you!

 

Core.

Going back at 6:30 for bootcamp.

 

Since my husband is off work now, he was able to come with me to the "body blast" class today. All I will say about that is that I kicked ass, while he got his ass handed to him. I am feeling rather smug at the moment. Sports has always been a big identity thing for my husband, so it feels good to do something fitness related with him and be better at it. I am proud of myself. I won't rub it in, though. That isn't my style at all.

 

Guess who got her deadlift weight up to 95 pounds?

This kitteh!

 

Does walking 15k yesterday to play pokemon go count?

 

I think it does. That's about 9.5 miles!

 

And that's including the weight of the bar?

 

Heavy weightz & full body workout. I had to get my party pump on for Vegas tomorrow. I didn't do any dead lifts today because my lower back is very tight for reasons. I pushed myself super hard, though, and left the gym feeling light headed. Fortunately I am starting to feel better.

 

I think I'm losing muscle.........

 

For the past month I have not done any lifting other than with dumbbells. I am doing primarily calisthenics at the moment (pushups, pullups, dips, etc.). I will be going back to weights in the fall. I have lost a fair amount of size, but I don't care since being big is not one of my goals.

 

I was planning on lifting tonight, but I started to feel intense waves of nausea while I was vacuuming my husband's car for him this afternoon, so I've decided to stay home and smoke a joint instead.

I always have to work through the guilt I feel when I miss a workout. It really isn't a big deal. I worked very hard to get to where I am, and I look amazing. I just have a love/hate relationship with mirrors now that I am fitter than I've ever been, and I think I was being overly critical of my body this morning. I'm over it now.

 

Ate a Cliff Bar. Now the fat will totally melt off my body;

 

I love those things. The chocolate & peanut butter flavor is my favorite.

 

I just had a fantastic bootcamp. There were 12 people in the class tonight, and my trainer had an ass kicking circuit set up for us.

I had sort of fallen out of the habit of attending bootcamp because summer, so it feels really good to get back into the swing of things. Better than I expected it to, actually.

I am so happy.

 

What happened to this thread?
