and good for you to get out without the baby! it's hard, but so important. we've got four kiddos (11-19) and it took us a while to catch on, but our time out together makes all the difference in the world. i am still a sahm (a bit of an indulgence when they're all in school) but my hubby is an ob/gyn and my being home has been the rock on which the whole house of cards was built. we try to make it out at least once a week - lunch or dinner, long walk or movie, etc.

Thanks! Yeah, I was a little surprised that I could do that many! I actually beat my husband. woo hoo!
We've been trying to go out without our daughter more, but it's so hard for us because none of our family lives near us, and it's so hard to find a trustworthy babysitter for a reasonable price. We finally found a good babysitter, so hopefully we'll be going out more.
Thursday's Workout:
Legs: Amy Bento's Slo Mo Legs. Most reps are the first 4 at 4-0-4, and the last 4 at 2-2-4.
Not sure how I feel about this workout. I like that it has "new" moves that are different than the standard squat/lunge/deadlift stuff, but I felt a lot of tension/pressure in my low back during the first two exercises, and the next day my low back is really sore. This just makes me nervous - the last thing I want to do is strain my back or worse.
Sumo Squats BB 3x8@65
Jefferson Squats DB 3x8@25
BB Side Lunges BB 3x8@50
Wobble Hack Squats DB 3x8@15s
Hammy Rockers (single leg lunge/deadlift superset) DB 3x8@12s
Glute Wrap BB 3x8@20
Single Leg Rock-Up Squat with Ball & DB 3x8@15
100 push ups challenge: I decided to start on week 3 and see how it goes. It went well, but was definitely a challenge!
25, 17, 17, 15, 26. Woo!
Friday's Workout:
Triceps: Amy Bento's Slo Mo. Most reps are 4-0-4 for half and then 2-2-4 for the second half. I like this workout, but I think it might be a little short on exercises. Maybe it's just because I'm onlyt working one body part, though.
French Curl DB 3x8@21
Band Push Down 3x8@doubled heavy band
Decline Triceps Dip 3x12@bw
Cardio: 35 min of step/plyo intervals. I did Cathe's Body Max 2 Cardio Timesaver mix. It was a sweatfest, and super fun. Definitely doing this one again!
