It's now or never...

OMG, I can't believe I did this, but I joined the 6 month challenge that Miss Jane put together. I'm trying to get my training log up and running...so here's to a new me!

[wannabefit83]

checking to see if my signature thing is working...

[wannabefit83]

why is it blank??

[wannabefit83]

testing...

[wannabefit83]

again...

[wannabefit83]

It's finally working!! YAY!

[wannabefit83]

Okay, I FINALLY did my workout. I did a 5 min. walking warmup then I jogged for 6 min./walked 1 min for 45 min. then did a 5 min. (well more like 9 min.) walking cooldown. My total time was 59:13 for 4.24 miles. I feel great and now I'm off to eat some lunch!

Hey wannabe--you're training log caught my attention because you named it exactly what I named my log when I did the Precision Nutrition Body Transformation challenge over in the PN forum. Great name! Hmmm....now I have to come up with something clever for my log here. Good luck with the challenge!

Thanks Kathy...I think of that Bon Jovi song and for me, it's now or never to get it done!!

Okay, today is a DOR for me. I was going to do the Elliptical but I slept late...for once this week. It felt nice. Despite eating a cheeseburger and fries...and movie popcorn, I managed to lose .2 pounds from Friday. My official WI day is tomorrow...so I need to get back on track.

[wannabefit83]

Okay so, stage 3 workout B2 was done today. I was at the gym at 5am...whoo, go me!! Here's a recap of what I did:

Barbell Romainian DL/BO Row
Set 1: 48x6 (I'm HORRIBLE at deadlifts and can't do much weight)
Set 2: 58x6
Set 3: 58x6


Partial Single Leg Squats (Done as a super set with the lat pulldown)
These were done on a step with 3 risers under each side.
Set 1-3: BWx6

Wide Grip Lat Pulldown
Set 1: 75x6 (was TOO heavy and I couldn't come down very far...felt like I wasn't getting good ROM)
Set 2: 70x6 (again..the ROM thing)
Set 3: 65x6

Back Extension (done as a super set with the YTWL)
Set 1: 80x6
Set 2: 90x6
Set 3: 100x6

YTWL=OUCH!
Set 1-3: 5x6

Swiss Ball Crunch (Done as a superset with the following...)
Set 1: 20
Set 2: 15
Set 3: 15

Prone Jackknife
Set 1-3: 12

Medicine Ball Twist
Set 1-3: 12

Then...I did my intervals. I did mine on the TM. 1 min @ 7.5 and 2 min. recovery @ 3.0. On the 5th I did 1 min. @ 7.7. I REALLY like doing the intervals.

[wannabefit83]

I guess I should probably state my goals and whatnot huh? Right now I weight 135.2 and I'm not really sure of my body fat...but it's there, I know that! I would LOVE to get down to 125. I'm 5'3" and 25 years old. I do have a 3 year old son who arrived via emergency c-section...so I have that belly "pooch". I love to run...I will be running my 3rd 1/2 marathon in November and I want to beat my previous time. I have no upper body strength whatsoever, so I want to work on that. I also have what I call, "chub rub"...you know where your thighs run together?? I hate it and want it GONE!! My eating is okay...not as clean as it should be, but I'm really working on that.

So there you go!

[glogal1]

You are doing very good with your workouts and your eating. Very proud of you...keep up the good work..Remember..CONSISTENCY is the key.

Have a great day!
take care

Celesta: how is your eating and workouts coming along?

[wannabefit83]

Okay, so I didn't workout yesterday (a run) like I planned. I felt bad. It's always hard for me to get up in the morning and workout, but once I'm going I feel great. Today, I did get up and do my 5am workout...go me! I did a little bit of NROL4W and the Perfect Body workout. Here's how it went down:

5 min. warmup on the Elliptical. I did 9 exercises and I supersetted them in groups of 3.


Lat Pulldown
3x12
Set 1: 70
Set 2&3: 60
(I know I'm weak...but I'm working on it)

DB Front to Back Lunge
3x10
Set 1-3: 12lbs (in each hand)

YTWL
3x10
Set 1-3: 5lbs


One Arm DB Row
Set 1: 20lbs 3x15
Set 2: 25lbs 3x12
Set 3: 25lbs 3x10

Shoulder Press
3x10
Set 1-3: 15lbs (in each hand)

Lat raises
3x10
Set 1: 5lbs
Set 2: 8
Set 3: 8

Chest Press
Set 1: 25lbs 6 reps
Set 2: 20lbs 10 reps
Set 3: 20lbs 10 reps
(I didn't do these on an incline and the 25's were too heavy but the 20s were a little too light)

Squats
Set 1: 58lbs 10 reps
Set 2-3 68lbs 10 reps

Ext. Rotation
3x10
Set1-3 8lbs.

My eating is okay...still not 100% clean. Tomorrow is a running day but I'm not sure how far or how long yet...we'll see!

[Celestialmom]

Hi there Celesta, thanks for stopping by my log! I've been meaning to get over here, to say welcome and glad you joined the challenge. I'm excited--right now I'm mulling over my goals and what they'll be. I have a few body fat/weight related goals but they're not precise and I'd like to add some fitness/sport related goals as well.

[wannabefit83]

Whew! What a great workout I had this morning!! Another 5am workout done...yay! Anyway, I did some HIIT on the TM and it went like this:

Warmup 3min. @ 3.5
Interval 1: 1min @ 6.5
Recover: 2min @ 3.7
Interval 2: 1 min. @ 7.0
Recover: 2 min. @ 3.7
Interval 3: 1min. @ 7.3
Recover: 2min. @ 3.7
Interval 4: 1min. @ 7.5
Recover: 2min. @ 3.7
Interval 5: 1min. @ 7.7
Recover: 2min.@ 3.7

Then...I kept my pace @ 3.7 for 2 MORE minutes then finished off with a 20 min. jog @ 5.5-5.7 and finished up with a 5 min. cooldown. That whole workout totaled for 4.13 miles.

Oh and I wore my new running skirt that I bought last week at Target. I was hesitant to wear it b/c I didn't want to look dumb running in a skirt at the gym. But it was VERY comfortable. I like it and I think I'm gonna buy more!

Alrighty...coffee is ready!

Good workouts going on in here. Welcome to JP's and glad you are participating in the Challenge.
Kudos for the 5 a.m. workouts. I do that sometimes, too.

[Celestialmom]

Yeah, really. I posted in Ginger's log that anything before 5am isn't morning. And I"m not sure about before 5:30. 5:30 is good...I've actually been awake at that time lots but I think it's against my religion to get up before then LOL.
