Thanks Girls! I may have overestimated my abilities using the 12lb db's. My last few rotations were a little pathetic.
I'm really trying to use as much weight as I think I can to get the most out of these workouts.
Well, Valentine's Day was a lesson in what I should NOT eat! I stand by the fact that I eat really clean and monitor everything, but my loving husband convinced me to throw caution to the wind and just enjoy one meal with him "where I'm not obsessing over every nutritional detail." So, I proceeded to eat like it was my job and feel like absolute crap today! I ate a huge steak (and I don't eat red meat very often anyway), a stuffed mushroom, some asiago cheese bread, but I did manage to shovel down some salad with balsalmic vinegar and a healthy serving of asparagus. To make sure I completely cancelled all the benefits of my veggies, I had 2 glasses of wine with dinner and a couple vodka tonics with a slice of strawberry cheesecake for dessert!
I'm now using this thread as my confessional and must confess that I felt guilty while I was stuffing my face and mad at myself for doing that being that I woke up so sick today, I don't even have enough strength left to get my Workout A, #2 in today.
Damn holidays!!!
I did get in some hill sprint HIIT's yesterday, knowing what was waiting for me at home.
9 intervals, 45 seconds work @ 8mph, 9% incline--1 minute recovery @ 3.5mph, 5% incline.
Killers!
I am going to force myself to at least get out and go for a brisk walk tonight--maybe bust into a jog if I'm feeling it (but I doubt it).
I know a cheat meal won't kill anyone, but it's just a sad lesson in your body's response to over-feeding it. I'm glad that my body is tuned to punish me, but MAN! When I think back to how I used to eat, it's a wonder I was ever able to leave my house!
Enjoy your weekend everyone! I shall be making up my workout#2 tomorrow!
