Default Stage 2 Workout B-4 6/7/08

OK, this workout almost killed me. I felt so depleted during it. I'd slept well and my calories were good the day before. Had a good breakfast...really no excuse - just a bleh day. It was the first time I actually felt almost sick to my stomach during a workout. I took advantage of every rest period except the one I forgot which is when I started feeling sick...

I almost talked myself into quitting after the lat pulldowns, but decided to push through. Then I was going to quit after the Cuban snatch but decided to do the Ab work because to me it is relaxing except for the cobra, of course, which I totally forgot about. I went ahead and finished the Abs and had enough of a second wind to commit to 3 sets of intervals. Then I said I'd do one more then one more... I DID IT!!

When I got home, I made a concoction I dreamed up in my head. 200 g of frozen pineapple chunks, 1 teaspoon of coconut cream concentrate, 35 g EAS Vanilla protein powder and 1/2 cup of water. Yummy Pina Colada icey smoothie!!! Well worth the workout!

Oh, and I had to go to the other location of my gym because the childcare worker didn't show at my usual gym. I live halfway in between both locations. Anyway, that gym has an adjustable cable machine so I'll plan to go there on days I have the woodchop! It's right next to the public library, so I can kill 2 birds with one stone!
