So what did you do at the gym last night? Hope you're feeling rested for LEG DAY.

Hey there! No, not a studio picture. We won't share that with Lori's hubby, he'll get cocky about his picture taking abilities.
Oh, last night was my night off. Tonight I am heading to the gym, probably will do some chest/tricep stuff and cardio. Then (dum..dum...dum...) tomorrow is leg day. I am just trying to prepare myself.

Thank you!
My next goal is to get an athletic picture of myself. So many of you ladies have cool avis with you doing something (besides my big-vodka induced grin) and I want one!

Ah, thank you Karen!
WOW. Thank you guys so much for the compliments, you really know how to make a girl feel good. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Ah! I am so out of the loop. Hopefully, tonight I’ll have a chance to log on and catch up with everyone and how you are doing. I hope everyone had a nice Easter!
So, Friday evening I did some cardio on the dreaded/but loved step mill
Saturday morning was my PT appointment and it was a leg day.
Saturday, March 22nd
Supersets
Step-ups on a bench into a reverse lunge
10eX15 lbs, 10X15, 10X15
Front Squat
10X65lbs, 10X65, 10X65
Squats (these are much harder at the end of the workout)
10X95, 10X95, 10X95
This felt like a really short workout, but I was most definitely sore and fatigued. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical, afterwards.
Sunday, March 23rd – off
Monday, March 24th – 60 minutes on the step mill and I know it is more cardio than I normally/should do, but let’s chalk it up to penance for some Easter splurge I had going on, plus I loaded a bunch of new tunes on my mp3, so it kept me going.
Tuesday, March 25th
Upper body work
WU/Bench press on bench-12X45 WU, Tricep dips - 15XBW, Side Lat raises 10x12.5
Supersets
Chest press on floor w/70 lb bar
10X70, 10X70, 10X70
Front Raises
10X40, 10X40, 10X40
Skull crushers
10X40, 10X40, 10X40
Supersets
Rope/Face Pulls
10X80, 10X80, 10X80
Chest press machine
10X65, 10X65, 10X50
Lat machine (I didn’t pay attention to the weight)
10X?, 10x?, 10x?
Tricep rope pull downs
10X25, 10X25, 10X20
15 minutes on the step mill.
ffice  ffice" /> We had a great Easter. I made ffice:smarttags" />Lori’s Chicken Ratatouille recipe and it was wonderful. I felt good about it and then here comes, my Mom w/rolls, mashed potatoes (one of my fave comfort foods) and a yellow cake w/chocolate icing. Need I say more? I mean, I did better than I would have in the past but still…….. I got right back on track and am trying to not be all crazy about it, but it's just weird, I think.

Well, then, I won't mention the quiche, croissants, and lemon blueberry cake that we ate!
Looks like you've gotten right back on that horse, though... and everyone needs a break sometimes, right?

If it makes you feel any better, not only am I in workout detention until Thursday, but I ate 2 Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs on Easter, 4 mini Milky Way Caramels, and a handful of Jelly Beans! This is the last year I'm going to my sister's house for Easter!
And, I too, LOVE mashed potatoes!!!!

I love mashed taters, too! I can do just fine without them but I will be indulging around Thanksgiving each year. Life's just too short to go completely without mashed potatoes!

Right there too. We totally over bought candy for the boy's Easter basket. It wasn't quite "one for the basket, one for me" but it also wasn't too far off. At least he took most of his candy back to his mom's house. |

Ahh potatoes in any form--mashed, roasted, hell, even boiled, are da best.
Tonight I made one of my new staples: "mashed cauliflower." It doesn't quite do it, but honestly, it's not a terrible stand-in for a random Tuesday night. Wouldn't try to slip it in on Thanksgiving, or anything.

Your workouts look great as always! And don't worry... we all splurged on Easter... but we're all gettin back at it this week. I was pretty good with my food quality-wise on easter (minus the dark choc M+Ms) but the quantity was what did me in! You're doin awesome, keep it up!
