Back In The Saddle Again

Monday morning again.  After a week with my kids sick and then a week of my body purging everything it didn't think it needed to be inside me, I am glad to be back at shredding fat.  This morning I:

Worked on my arms.

15 lateral lifts - 5lbs
15 curls - 12.5lbs
15 mowers(?) - 10lbs
15 flys - 12.5lbs
12 curl up/hammer down - 12.5lbs
15 tricep drops - 7.5lbs (yes, I'm making up my own names because I can't remember what it's called)
15 pushups
12 curls -12.5lbs
12 tricep extensions - 7.5lbs

50 squat run - 5lbs

2 mile interval run (treadmill)

Weights and Running.  What more is there?  Okay.  There is a lot more, but I sure do love Lifting.  It's strengthening not just to the body, but to the mind as well.  It's like giving myself a boost of energy and declaring "I can do ANYTHING."  I think I will keep up the strength training.

So, a while ago I mentioned that I was going to try to Eat Clean.  I bought the Cookbook and the Family and Kids version of the plan.  I have read both books and think they are great.  I haven't been able taken the time to really implement the eating habits into my family life, but soon.  I'm working on baby steps.  My first real change is buying 100% whole wheat tortillas.  They were really good this morning on my breakfast burrito.  This week I have planned a couple of meals out of the cookbook.  Here's hoping it all goes well.

My Shred Day 19

Monday:

I think my kids nightmares have an alarm on them.  I swear they are always waking up minutes, if not seconds, before my alarm goes off.  Needless to say, I was up at 4:59 today. At least I was up, right?

Here is what I did this fine Monday morning:

I only did this 2x through.  Then I did. . .

I did this 1x through.  Then I did. . .

25 crunches
25 bicycles
25 reverse bicycles
25 crunches
25 heels to the heavens

My little one woke up so I didn't get to do as many ab exercises as I wanted to.  But 125 is a good number.  Something is always better than nothing.

How did your workouts go this weekend?
