New Lower Body Workout DONE!

Last night I got all the rest of the church plants finished and they look wonderful. I even put the new moss and the silk Easter lillies in the bottom with silk ivy an they look so good I should have taken before and after pictures lol. It was a challange to get the 2 plants in one pot but I got them in there. I plan to deliver them after work today and place them at the alter. I am very excited to see what pastor Jeremy and Stephanie think. I think the dust kept me up and I had trouble sleeping, I kinda have remissive asthma so I kept coughing every 1/2 hour. Today I feel fine, just a slight headache. I was just tired too because it took longer then I thought. My head hit the pillow at 10pm, but I feel pretty darn good today. Heck its going to be in the 60s so I hope to get some fresh air walk at lunch.

Instead of going to the gym, I decided to do to my workout at home since it was the first one. It went very well, I feel like a Rockstar! I forgot to do my weigh in today, but since I missed all this weeks workouts, I am not expecting much in the way of amazing numbers. Also I had some tater tots and missed my last protein shake, I had a coffee instead last night so I am sure that won't be of help. So far, my numbers have been good all week and I am very happy about that. Here is my workout today and I only used 10lb dumb bells just to see how my shoulder would feel. I have been putting off using them, instead using the machines just to be safe that I don't turn or move wrong and risk a longer injury.

Video vs Workout

I really want to consider this week a do-over for my workouts!

Tuesday started with a back problem, and by Wednesday it was completely out of balance. So then comes Thursday, NONE.
Last night I went to the chiropractor and it went well, he even did my wrist so I feel like my shoulder got some relief. He said I really need a massage I am very tight, well you don't have to twist my arm to get me to get a massage that's for sure. I will get that scheduled next week, there is even a school here that is near my work that only charges $25 because they are practicing for their licence.

After the doctors, I got ready for my fitness video shoot and left for bible study. Sure they all know I am a trainer so its very casual there and it was our first meeting so it was fine to be in all trainer gear. We are doing a study on "My Story" its really a great discovery study with a scrapbook to journal all about your family, life and how God has guided you or been in your life. I am very excited. We only watched the video on what we will be doing for the next 8 weeks, and then everyone was sharing why they wanted to take this journey.
For me it is for clarity and fellowship. I love to journal anyway so this will be a great keepsake down the road, its a very pretty book.

Then it was a rush to get to Granite City to this gym with 2 other trainers. I made it there on time and we got things set up and finished the video about 10pm. Sure hope it loads up good and I can use it. I was already tired but still had about 30 minute drive home. Sheesh needless to say by the time my head hit the pillow it was 11.45!

I set the alarm for 6am, and decide I was too tired and went right back to bed for another hour. I don't train well without being rested. Today was going to be my cardio day and although my business is very important so is my sleep and my fitness goals. I have not been to the gym all week, however my diet has been spot on! Karen will be happy about that and so am I.
Actually I did some poses at that gym and things are really starting to pop so I hope that my photos this weekend show that. I have been hitting it very hard and steady, consistancy always wins.

Tonight I have to work on cleaning the rest of the church plants, so they can be ready for Sundays service. I have much to do, so I am hoping to still get to bed early or atleast by 10pm. I have most of them prepped so I should be able to do each one in 30 minutes with the exception of the 2 that I am combining in a pot with plaster of paris.

Anyone ever use that stuff?

If you have any tips let me know because I will be using it tonight to hold 2 silk ficus trees into a pot. It was much cheaper then using styrofoam so I hope it sets up fast and easy.....YIKES!
Tomorrow will be the new ST training, lets hope all goes as planned this time, since last night Video won!

Down For The Count... But NOT Out!

It's official, I have pulled out my back and must go to the chiropractor!

I got up at 5am put myself on the heating pad thinking I would be able to lift this morning at 6am. I was still in pain so I am not going to risk it with a new lift program. Since it rained yesterday, I am behind on cardio too so the plan is cardio tomorrow morning, and this lower body lift on Friday.

Last night I worked on the plants from the church and all I can think is that climbing the ladder up and down aggravated it and I got spasms about 3am. I was up every hour last night so disappointing.

Good news is I have been pretty good with diet, but I have not weighed in since Sunday. With new pictures this weekend, this is not making T. happy or pumped. I will still do the shots and have all my poses picked out, lets hope my other measures are as good as my waist is.
Here is my day one workout that I have planned for Friday. My workout is in days and I have 3 days per week (this is day 1)

DB Lateral Lunges 3x10-12

DB Single Leg Dead lift 4x8-12

DB Leg split squats 4x8-12 per leg

Single leg hip pop ups (like a 1 leg bridge and I will do these with a plate weight on non working knee) 3x16-18

Calf Raises 4x20-30
I will be doing 15-25lbs on these.

Down for the count......but NOT out of the game!
