Thanks for the recipe heads-up, Leah!

NR4W, Stage 2, Workout B, 2 of 4

Warmup: Entire ADW from PBD, followed by WGDL 5 x 55#, 5 x 95#, 5 x 135#.

WGDL on box: 1 x 10 x 160#, 1 x 10 x 155#.

BSS: 2 x 10 x 25# plate. Butt cramp!

UH lat pulldown: 2 x 10 x 155#. That's as heavy as my BowFlex goes -- 155# on each side and I have both sides loaded. I guess I'll just have to do them super-slow and drawn-out to increase the difficulty until hubby gets my pull up bar finished. I assume the next step would be negative chin ups?

Reverse lunge from box with fwd reach: 1 x 10 x 20#e, 1 x 10 x 22.5#e.

DB prone Cuban snatch: 1 x 10#e x 7 + 8#e x 3, 1 x 10#e x 6 + 8#e x 4. (Did ya translate all of that okay?) Stupid &@*@!* boobs. So not cool.

Swissball crunch: 2 x 10 x 10# plate on chest, feet elevated on 18" step.

Reverse crunch: 2 x 10 x 10# DB between shins. Ouch on the shins. I need to think of a better idea for next time.

Lateral flexion -- side crunch on Swiss ball: 2 x 10.

Prone cobra: 2 x 75 seconds.

HIIT: Ran up the hill/walked down the hill again -- 4 sets. I bombed at the end so stuck with 4, rather than 5 sets like last time. The goats and sheep find this running up and down past them oh so amusing, usually jeering and snickering. We'll see who has the last laugh when I eat them and their children in a few months.

Notes:

1. I've been starting to forget to eat again. I don't have the problem in winter but, when it starts to warm up and I get outside, I often forget to eat. Not cool. At my worst, I can go for a couple of days before I realize it. So far, the worst I've done this year is maybe 8 hours and it's only popped up in the last two weeks. I need to figure out how to get over this. I make up the calories later, making sure to get in appropriate amounts of protein, fat, etc but that means either oinking down too much at once or staying up even later than usual to add on a make-up meal.

2. I had planned on doing today's workout yesterday but my cold worsened and I just felt like complete crap. So I took it easy and just did a bit of outside work, then did my workout today. I'm feeling better today, like I've finally turned the corner on this small but annoying cold. Just a cough and nasty sinus headache left to deal with.

3. I pulled a foam mattress out of the shed this week and have laid it on top of the (thin, incredibly dense & hard) futon mattress I sleep on. It seems to be helping a bit with the crick in my neck. I'm hoping this is the answer because I really don't want to go back to the chiro every freaking month.

4. I've been on TNT for just under four weeks now so I've started adding a few more carbs back in. Just veggie carbs, though, and I'm trying to keep them centered around workouts for the most part.

Will try to get pics taken tomorrow!
