Today was a good day exercise wise. I got up early this morning and did some strength training... working upper body. This doesn't sound very impressive but I'm impressed with myself since I had only 3 hours of sleep and cramps from hell! You try throwing a 15 lb oddly shaped medicine ball up the air and catching it before it hits you in the face on 3 hours of sleep... it sure woke me up fast especially when I dropped it on my chest! I know that 15 lbs doesn't sound like a lot of weight but when you are first starting out it feels like a lot. The first set I was only comfortable doing 8 reps but after that I knew I needed push myself harder so I did 12 reps the next 2 sets. I had a hard time getting in all of my shoulder presses but I busted them out and finished all 12 reps of 3 sets. I'm hoping that I pushed myself hard enough that I'm sore but I'm a little worried that I didn't... once again we will have to see. This afternoon I hit the gym to do my normal 65 minutes on the treadmill. I was able to do 4.16 miles... that is .10 miles than yesterday so I'm taking it as progress. I just need to keep pushing myself forward. Tomorrow is my rest day because I have Ava all day and Ben is hosting Trivia after work so no time for me to hit the gym. Thursday is legs and cardio.
I sooo hope that I'm sore tomorrow! :)
Let the lbs melt!!!
