2a) low cable RDL: 3x10x80lbs
2b) db row:3x10x35lbs (heavy!)
3a) IYT 2x12
3b) plank 2x12x5sec
woohoo, done. Workouts are soo much more rewarding these days. Plus my body that has been pushed out of whack really feels better after some good programming!
Oh, with nursing I think I'm the lucky one where it keeps me holding on to the last 10lbs only because it increases my appetite and I have zero willpower. But, maybe I have to give it another month or two to know for sure.
Week 4 Workout 1 (yesterday)
foam rolling / activation at home
mobility warm-up
1a) RDL 2x20x75lbs
1b) cable push 2x20x2(setting on different cable machine upstairs, lighter than other one, so not sure the weight comparison)
had to do this in straight sets as the cable machine was being hogged by other gym members :P
3a) prone row to external rotation: 2x12x5lbs
3b) side plank:2x12x5secs
done! Baby was awake when I took dropped her off at daycare, but sleepy. She conveniently fell asleep during my workout and then woke up when I put her back in the car and rode home happily. I think she likes the gym!! Thank goodness!
oh, got my new program from Bill already so will be starting this weekend. Woohoo. Still one more workout left in this program.
again napping magic..dropped her off awake and picked her up alseep. Still napping now...I've been to grocery store and ahve had lunch...now going to shower! wooohoo!
Hi! You are doing an awesome job of getting right back into the swing of things after baby's arrival! I'm with Bytsi, it took me more like several years!
1a) Front Squat: 2x8x75lbs
1b) standing cable pull: 2x12x25lbs
My squat is ugly..shift to the right again Weight ok, supposed to leave 2 in the tank
2a) db step up: 2x8x20lbs
2b) incline push up: 2x10
left a bit more than 2 in the tank for step ups, but I really really hate these :P
3a) kneeling pnf d2 flexion 2x10x5lbs (min weight, cable would've been better, supposed to get 12 reps)
3b) plank 2x2x20secs
EST 10mins x elliptical, bike, treadmill (3.5mph @6incline worked for target HR of 140-160)
thought I'd go ahead and get in my 30 mins of EST while Ansley was sleeping at daycare. Was sore that afternoon, and a bit stiff now...will need some foam rolling for sure!
Oh, and I had a controlled portion of ice cream. Yay, wanted to go back for more, but didn't. Yay me :P
Sorry it took me so long to find your log. Nice work. And really nice work for staying away from the ice cream. I didn't do nearly as good of a job of it as you last night. I do have to say that chocolate sauce and strawberries are awesome though.
Keep up the good work.

I am doing better with ice cream portions, but still have to go a day without any treats if I'm going to make real progress!
yesterday's traumatic daycare workout
(ok not really traumatic, but it was hard for mommy--She slept in the car on the way there, but had started to stir when I dropped her off. I popped in after my warm-up to check up on her and I couldn't find her in her stroller. I then saw her in the daycare swing, happy, but alone and with spit up on her face. I wiped it off and she smiled and then I went on to finish my workout. It was so hard to leave her there swinging monotonously, not to mention that swing cover had probably been sneezed and spit up on by thousands of kids :O. So did my two weigh sets quickly and came back and she was on the floor, with the day care lady but crying. Poor baby. Don't think she had been crying long, but I felt bad for her. Fed her and she was happy. Surely it was harder on mommy than her, but oh me oh my. I much prefer it when she naps through my workouts.)
Ice cream all gone, greg. Last night blew the controlled portion. But at least there's no more now, right? Jamoca Almond Fudge. Russ got me hooked on it :P
Thanks for the encouraging words ladies!
workout either this morning or tomorrow morning...
oooooh, glad you like the avi! She's much cuter on the outside than inside me while I'm squatting, huh?
A little slow on updating:

Yesterday's workout (6/9/09)
foam at home / mobility
1a) RDL: 3x10x125lbs
1b) standing cable push:2x12x25lbs (went back to do the last set and someone had stolen my cable, so went on to next set and forgot to come back and finish)
2a) db row: 3x10x35lbs
2b) front to lateral raise: 3x12x12lbs ( a bit too heavy)
3a) low incline Y: 2x12
3b) side plank: 2x20sec
ansley was awake at the daycare, but I fed her after my warm-up so she was at least happy. I suggested they just leave her in her stroller cause it was cold in there and I figured she might fall asleep better that way (and there were lots of older kids). So she got rocked around in the stroller and napped for me on the way home
This is what happens when I never visit the log section, only visiting the logs I subscribe to!! I miss new ones ... sorry!!
Great job getting back into it. I was the same way ... couldn't lose anything when nursing. After reading Leigh's stuff, a lightbulb went off ... yes, I was eating more, yes I was nursing ... but I was sitting around a lot ... my girls were long nursers and so I consequently was sitting around for a lot of time. Counterbalanced the extra calories I was burning by nursing!
Love the avi ... she is just beautiful! Did you ever think you could love someone so completely?!
