I went to the website and found we have a teavana in the mall nearest my house -- shows how much I don't like to shop, I go to the store I want then right out of the mall. I'm going to go over there soon.

Homework was good - she wanted to make sure I understood why I'm eating and exercising the way I am right now. I also had to look up EFA's! Knowledge is Power!!

You sound like my DH shopping - in to the one store, get what ya need, and get out again....me, on the other hand, I'm a wanderer!!!

Last time I did that - she wouldn't let me stop!!

I'll try to make sure I keep things interesting in here!!

LOL - when I read your initial 'homework' comment, I wondered, "What am I missing from Leigh?" But I ask her so MANY questions, I'm guessing she's not assigning me homework.... rather it may feel like a test for her.

PS: Keep up your super-positive energy. It comes through in your posts and will serve you well to getting to your goals.

So you get some knowledge in addition to the physical benefits of your exercise. And, to quote Tolkein - not all who wander are lost.

Someone has to keep HER on her toes!!!

The knowledge will get me through after I'm done working with her!! AND then maybe I can help someone else with what I've learned!! She's a wealth of info!!!

OH - BTW - I got an A+ on my homework!!!

Got my workout in for the day - it was aerobic day, so I did 49 mins of cardio kickboxing. Avg HR was 135.

Today is one of those days - I'm hungry, feeling a bit run down and kinda grumpy (I was nice and FOREWARNED my DH when he got home, so he knows up front!! ) I even got a decent night's sleep last night! Ah well, hope tomorrow is better!!

Thanks Tracey!!! Got a pretty decent night's sleep, so hopefully I'll be better today - it's early (7 AM) though, so only time will tell!!

I do, however, think I know what may have been one of the causes! I checked out my meal plan again, and realized that both my lunch and my afternoon snack had VERY LITTLE fat in them. I need to make sure I spread the fat around better through all of my meals next time!

Ahhhhhhhh.....the munchkin finally decided it was ok after all to take her nap!! I tried for over an hour to get her to sleep! At first, she wanted me to stay with her, then, she had to go potty, then, she finally calmed down enough for me to leave the room, but kept singing to herself! I think she finally just wore out! She's now sleeping peacefully!

I'm REALLY glad I re-arranged my schedule and made today a REST day!!!

[Dolly Dagger]

Good for you for taking care of yourself. It's so important to get that rest. I'm so happy you're doing well with Leigh.

Geeeez - an afternoon without posting and I'm waaaay back on page 3!

Had a great time with my granddaughter yesterday - she's at that really fun age (almost 3) where you can have some fun conversations - and she has SUCH an imagination! She's hysterical!!

Glad it was a rest day - I was pretty NON-energetic all day. Today is a weight day, so it's higher cal/higher carb - and I'm feeling pretty good after eating breakfast. I'll get some more food in me at lunchtime, then get my workout in - should be ready to rock and roll by early afternoon!

[dillytl]

Today's workout was:
(All for 3x15's, 75 sec rest between supersets)
A1 Squat 65lbs
A2 Face Pulls 25lbs

B1 Step Ups (no weight YET) - I did, however, add one more riser to the step, for a total of 7 risers. It's now right at knee height!
B2 Front Raise 10's

C1 Chest Flys on Ball 15's
C2 Standing Bicep Curls 12.5's for the first two sets, 15's for the last set - only got 13 of the 15 reps, tho!

Side Planks - I freakin' HATE these!!!!!!!!
I did 25 secs per side X3!!

Then, I did my flexibility/mobility work.

It's SNOWING here! We've got a couple inches on the ground - first real snow this year!!

I'm with ya on the planks -- pure evil!

Slurp, slurp, slurp... (Bottom of smoothie.)

I actually don't HATE the regular planks (not my fav, but.....) - it's those damn SIDE planks that kill me!!!
