Ok, up and knocked out 100 different abs.
Workout last night was vicious. Worked out with gym brother and I kept looking at my quads waiting to see the actual smoke!!! That man took each exercise and made it lethal... I was like... Why am I training with you again.. grrrrrr
That had me limping to my truck.. Glutes/hammies and quads were on fire. I haven't felt like that since training a few years back with my cousin. Well, I tell you what, its on now!!! I'm seeing him again this Friday to do it not as heavy but all over again... Can't say Woo Hoo because I'm dam scared.. LOL
Today I'm feeling good a tad bit sore still when I get up and sit down but other than that.. on point!
Doing BACK & DELTS this evening with law cardio. Couldn't do cardio yesterday because I barely made it to my truck and got in.... :-O

Monday, Feb. 27th...
A month has gone by like "that!"
Starting new routine.. Chest dips like to have broken my poor lil chest open.. LOL I managed once I got familiar with the technique... Boy this stuff isn't as easy as it seems. Love it though.. Finished up rest of CHEST & ARMS and then hit cardio!!!
Not bad, not bad at all....

No sleep last night... Lost my pet of 9+ years. Mind racing for the moment.
Today is LEG day.. Somebody help me please...! Trying to get my mind right for these step-ups. I bought some weight straps hopefully that'll make it easier to hold the weights.
Actually looking forward to gym time today. Need to relieve some stress... and focus once again.

Up at 5 and did 4 sets of 25 different ab exercises. Mixed it up a bit. My core is definitely stronger now.
Hit gym yesterday for Chest & Arms. I had to hold my head in my hands for a minute inbetween doing chest presses. Weigths are heavier and I might need a trainer to assist. I just do 5 then break then do 7 more. I do that once I get up to 50+ (45 lb bar). I can definitely get more on chest days done but not alone. Might be checking into getting a trainer to assist me soon.
Body was happy to be finished and ran on treadmill for a high intensity cardio burn. All good... I dashed out the gym, ran an errand and then home to my lovely food... Why does it go so fast! :0(
Strength is up; Nutrition is better; Spirit is soaring!
Tonight I do Back & Delts...

Well today I have Chest & Arms. (High intensity cardio day)
Can't believe this is the last of 4 weeks already!
Retained some water weight from Sunday's treat meal. Also, measured waist wrong.. LOL Gave myself almost 3 additional inches. I was done. Come to find out I was measuring the lower portion of my abs (way below the belly button). Smart me... lol
I see my quads are coming out more. Now need to dig into those HAMSTRINGS for a complete BB package!

Friday's workout was cool. Did Chest & Arms.
Been doing bicycles on a regular for abs and mixing up with other ab exercises twice sometimes 3 times a week. Definitely beneficial because my cores much stronger and I ccan do more core exercises like crunches while holding onto the pullup bar...!!!
Slept late Saturday and then rolled out of bed to do Back & Delts.
All is going well. Not feeling tired but just miss my sugar ...lol Fruit is doing it for now.
Sunday is rest day.. HOORAY! :0)

Up at 5 am
Did the eating thing and bounced.
So busy at work I was unable to get in all my meals. Tried making some up with protein shake and shake/banana. Carbs are a must for energy. I was slowing down as I drove home after work. I had to pop my food container open and eat as I traveled down the beltway. Instant energy boost but knowing I was going to workout, I was only able to eat 1/2 the food. I went to gym 45 minutes later. Didn't want to belch food... *not even...*
Workout was LEGS tonight which I dread because they usually drain me.. (shaking)
Well, low and behold my "GYM" brothers & fitness sistah (Vee) pushed me right though the step-ups. I had to tweak the leg extensions. Our leg extension machine is broken. So Vee remind me about holding the weights between my foot, lower and extending them straight out while sitting on edge of bench. OMGoodness... that's ole school and I use to do them when I had my old trainer. The burn in the quads came like instantly! I did the 4 sets of 12 and did 15 (joke), 20, 20 then 30 pounds. Some hogger had the 25lbs...*dam them...* lol All my weights have gone up.. Its not even a month yet. Pretty soon I'll need to train with the guys, so they can stack the weights. Getting the weights and returning them is a workout in itself!
All the time while I'm doing sumo squats with 90lbs DB I'm talking to myself saying "grow quads, grow!" The burn is crazzzzzzzzzzzy!!!
Thursday -- rest rest rest.... shewww :0)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Up at 5 a.m.
No CHOCOLATE FOR this gal. Give me weight gloves instead *wink*
Did my Back & Delts.
Had to up weights again to get a burn for most exercises.
High cardio, stretched, home for food.
Tonight legs.. Hate those step-ups (sad face).
My food isn't going as smooth as I would like. I prepare and then don't want it. Need to find more variety that fits in the macronutrient circle. Like a low fat pizza on low carb roll with chicken. LOL

After Saturdays workout I was looking forward to today. Legs and those step-ups. Whoever thought about those things need to take them back! OUCH
Much needed rest from gym but not from kitchen. I think I'm a Chef but never was aware before now. LOL
Food is beautiful but this measuring is killing me. Definitely can't switch up anything much at the last minute. I'm trying to get better but this here will take some time.
Monday will be Chest & Arms...

Rested well. Was up and in the gym by 6:40 a.m.
Today all attention on the LEGS (much needed).
I bust through my LEG workouts for I'm definitely gaining strength, but those STEP-UPS are cruel lol
All eyeballs on me as I did my leg presses. I'm ONLY up to 410.. Is it because I'm a lady :-)
Sumo DB Squats, I'm up to 80 lbs. Need a weight guy just to give me my weights..LOL I miss that in my trainer! I just stood there and he gave me the weights...
Thank you for low cardio days! LOL
Good stuff!

Up at 5
Felt tired this morning. Its the overtime and the late workouts for this week. One more day. Last night I did chest, delts and high cardio. Love lifting and I upped the weights on the chest press 5 lbs more. Reminding myself as I life "easy does it, no need to be superwoman when I have good time ahead of me."
Amazing how a little water weight flushed from your body makes it look harder. People are starting to ask questions "what are you doing, eating, etc." I smile and let them know you can get some, but it isn't easy! LOL That normally send them retreating, especially when weights are mentioned. Most are lazy and do not care to put in the work. Just want the bodies.. LOL Keep telling them it doesn't come in a magic "bottle."
Tonight is my off day yay! I will be in bed early and hoping to feel more energetic and refreshed in the a.m.

Knocked out 100 quick bicycles.
Ate and off to the grind. Feel strong and happy.
Tonight expecting snow. Hopefully it passes for I need to get in Chest tonight.
Workout is getting a bit easier, so I will up the weights.
Energy level is rising and I'm still greedy but nutrition plan is holding me well.
Why I wear these heels today after leg workout... "smh"... :-)

FRIDAY 2/3/2012
Up at 5 a.m.
Thursday night workout went well. Hardest part to me were the step-ups. I'm sure its because after the leg presses (up to 360 easy) and the extension I was tired once I got to them. Still banged out 3 sets using 15, 20 then 25 lbs DBs. Yes, the burn was there... Everything else was good but nice smooth and easy.
Strength still there not feeling drained. No cardio...
Ate post meal, showered and beddie bye!!!
Tonight just cardio.
Chest/Arms Saturday, then Monday start routine all over....

Thursday 2/2/2012 (off) Makeup day for Monday (LEGS)...
5 a.m. rise and shine...
Woke up hit floor and pushed out 100 bicycles. Abs thanking me. Working "legs" tonight. Can't wait.. Body is definitely changing for the better. Menu is on point now. Lets see where this goes from here. Just think its not even a week yet. Amazing as I eat better and get my rest. Body is responding in positive ways like giving me more energy and shaping out as the water weight continues to leave... Good riddens!!!
Make up day for legs I missed Monday. Just noticed I have legs again tomorrow.. Might have to skip Friday and rest then get at chest/arms on Saturday. Then start the routine all over again Monday. :-)
