I don't know if I was just out in la-la land today or if I was feeling lazy or what, but for some reason I only counted 8 for shoulder press, and then 10 for the SB crunch. I wasn't really feeling it today, and felt pretty weak on the DLs, so maybe my mind was just somewhere else? Regardless, I was still smoked when the workout was over. I think that the reason I am always up to HIIT on Mondays is because I've got that 2 day rest. That makes sense. Since it isn't a "required" part of this stage, I'm totally not beating myself up about skipping it. I am going to go for a run with my dad tomorrow though. Not HIIT at all, just for fun. Hopefully the wind will die down by then.
I've been going to my gym for about 6 months, so I know a few of the trainers (previous to this I worked out in a military gym, so this is new to me). One of them came up to me today, when I was miscounting my shoulder presses, and commented that I was getting stronger, and pointed out the veins in my arms. That was pretty cool. I think one of the things that is really driving me now is looking at a the logs of the other women on here, and wanting to compete with them. I love that there are a bunch of people doing the same program, I am very competitive, and it's motivating.

I'm excited Easter is this weekend
It is my favorite holiday. It is also the only holiday where I put my values aside for just an hour and have Peeps..they are my favorite candy in the world, but totally not vegetarian. I used to have them for ALL holidays, but I have now left them for just Easter. I am looking forward to that. The rest of the weekend not so much. We celebrate not just Easter Sunday, but Easter Saturday, which we've learned in the past few years, is a holiday made up by my grandmother. We have pie. Broccoli pie, spinach pie, and roast beef. I know it sounds more like a quiche, but it's actually just broccoli, garlic, tomato sauce, and oil (heavy on the oil!). The spinach one is the same without the tomato sauce, but I love the broccoli one, so I"ll be having that...probably with minimal crust, but we'll see how it tastes. I'm usually not a big fan. Easter Sunday though...bleh, ham. I didn't even like ham when I did eat meat. My aunt also makes baked ziti which is good. This is what I mean about my "splurges" being planned for me.
Anyway, have a good weekend, all!
