Counting the minutes until the weekend. . .
Been having a good week, but still fighting the tapeworm-like hunger! *sigh* Trying to make good choices, and I really am, it's the portions and frequency of my eating that really has me stressed out. I was thrilled to weigh myself this morning and be down 1.5 lbs--FINALLY!
I had two clients scheduled for training Tuesday and they both were unable to make it for their sessions, so I got the chance to bust out of my home gym and hit my local Y. It definitely smells and looks like an old YMCA, but it felt great to break out of my normal routine and have that change of scenery. I also found myself motivated by knowing there were other people there, so I convinced myself I had something to live up to and had to put out a more-than-decent effort. LOL
So, here goes the workouts:
Tuesday:
25 minutes on the stair-climber. (The longest 22 working minutes of my life-I feel lucky to be alive. Had it not been for the stinky guy beside me giving me looks, I would have jumped ship after 5 minutes.)
Leg Presses-1x15x170-both legs, did 8 single static holds on each leg at this weight; 1x12x250-both legs, 2 static holds at 15 secs. each using both legs; 1x9x310-both legs, 1 feeble, shaky static hold at the end.
Alt. Set:
Pull-ups: 1x8xBW less 80 lbs., 1x6xBW less 60 lbs., 1x5xBW
Dips: 1x8xBW less 60 lbs., 1x6xBW less 40 lbs., 1x5xBW

Walked 1 mile @3.8 mph, 12% incline
Recovered @ 3.5 mph for 30 seconds
Finished with a 30 second sprint at 10mph, 1%incline

Barbell Walking Lunges: 1x50 total x50lbs., 1x50 total x70 lbs.
Back-Weighted Squats: 1x12x95, 1x10x120, 1x8x140-haven't done these as often lately, felt good but my lower back was a little tweaky.

Just want to go on record and say that I am dreading this month's updated photo taking. I feel squishy and am hoping something magical happens between now and this Sunday.
