Thanks DM! I will give that a try next time.

As much as I like working out at home, I am looking forward to joining a gym in the fall for stuff like that. Its not necessary for me right now since its summer and I can do most everything at home or outside. Once it starts getting to be around 20 degrees, cardio is a bit of a challenge. Actually, I used to run outside year round back in the day but it gets dark by 5 so that is more of a concern for safety reasons. Winter! *shudder* Why do people live in MN again? I did make it through 5 winters in Fargo and nothing compares to that. *double shudder* Meanwhile my lilacs are in full bloom!

Today my eats were good. Back on track after the weekend. I actually ate carrots with my ckn. breast tonight. I hate vegetables so baby steps....

Workout was ok - I am extra tired today and wasn't feeling 100%. Still hoping I am not getting sick!

Tues. May 27 Stage 3 A4 - Last one already!

1 arm DB snatch: 3x6. 30 lb db's

DB single-leg RDL: 3x6 30#'s

Bbell bent row: 3x6, 55#

DB single-arm overhead squat: 3x6, 20#/10# I wish I could go up in this. I have adjustable dumbbells that go in increments of 5 lbs, so my next option would be 15/30. Maybe in Stage 5?

DB incline bench press: 3x10, 25# db's. I want to go to 30's, but my DH wasn't home otherwise I would have had him spot me.

Plank: Still hate these. Did 3 sets of 60 sec.

Reverse wood chop: 2x10, 20lb plate. I did these on the floor because the swiss ball version hurts my back a little.

BW Matrix: 2:28, 2:24 For some reason the second one is faster? Hmmm. I have a love hate with these. I love pushing myself to the limit but dread it at the same time.

I thought about getting in a short easy run, but my TOM and pending head cold were saying no. I am not one to make excuses for missing workouts, but figured pushing more than usual will have to wait for another day. Even when I am sick I still do some kind of workout. Missing one makes me feel worse, unless I am really on my death bed which hasn't happened too often to me. Hopefully I can run a little longer than normal to make up for it tomorrow.
