Happy Friday! Today I am doing Slow & Heavy Biceps & Triceps (with some dips, tricep pushups, and chinups added for extra work). My workout schedule is all akilter because of my vaca last week. I usually do lower body on Tues, upper body Weds or Thurs, lower body Fri, and upper body Sat or Sun. But when I got back from Key West late last Friday night, I didn't want to miss my reg Fri lower body, so I did it Sat. We were out-of-town Sunday, so I did upper body Mon. I did lower body on Tues, like usual, but by Wed, my upper body was still too sore from Monday. I couldn't do it Thurs because I was at my daughter's dance rehearsal. It's funny how I'm a creature of habit when it comes to working out, but if I don't have to think about it, I just do it. So, today I'm doing upper body, tomorrow I'll do lower, and by next Tues, I should be back to my reg schedule. Now if I could only be so consistent with my eating...Our newly adopted dog is fitting in great
. He seems to be very happy in his new family, and I know that he loves all of the attention he's been getting. You'd never know that he was an outside, country dog--he loves being in the house and hanging out with us. He and Stella are in the backyard now, chasing chipmunks or whatever
Belinda--Sounds like you had an awesome time in D.C. I grew up in northern Va, so took many a trips to D.C.
Kelly--Lord, I know how you feel with falling off the wagon! I can stay on the workout wagon, but the eating sensibly wagon? I'm off it more than I'm on it
. Well, at least it seems that way. I just do not know how to eat unhealthy foods in moderation. It's so all-or-none with me. Very frustrating, and I'm 50 for goodness sake! You'd think I'd have a handle on it by now! My workouts are what save me, that, and I cook almost all of my meals. That really, really helps. But when I go bad, I go big! I'm usually pretty good for a few days, then go on a tear for a day or two, so in reality, I guess I eat healthy more often than not, but barely more often. None of my friends have any sympathy for me because I'm not overweight, so they figure it must be easy for me. If they only knew...committing to hard workouts isn't easy! And then trying to eat healthy most of the time on top of that? But I try so hard because I feel better when I eat healthy, and I love, love being fit. If I could just eat "bad" sensibly. I rarely know moderation when it comes to my trigger foods
. I can't figure out if I should be amazed that I'm as fit as I am, or if I really do eat that much healthier than most of my friends? But hey, I'm glad to hear that your house situation is going well
Debbie--How exciting that you are doing the Daytona Roadtrip!! I am totally jealous
.
Gotta get this workout done soon (and y'all know I don't like to rush through workouts, what with my long breaks & all). My daughter's dance recital is tonight and it's downtown, which means fighting rush hour traffic
.
Waves hello to everyone else!
