Day 29, 12 Week Challenge

Went to the gym tonight and had a pretty good workout. But my hair was done and my makeup was on so I had a lot of gawkers. Not cool. I was able to do two sets on the incline bench press, but then two boys jumped on it and they are machine hogs, so I just did my third on the flat bench press. Also, I have noticed that there is a huge difference in the weight amount on the different areas for rope pull-downs. The plates say they are the same weight, but on one I can do 50-60 while on another I can only do 20-30. I wonder if the one is broken??

But Jordan did stop me to talk about his girlfriend again tonight. He was excited because she agreed to come workout with him. YaY! But it was legs day and so he wanted to know which exercises he should do with her. Ya so my HR dropped and my watch kept running. Dangit. I do enjoy the socializing, but it does hinder the workout a little. But oh well. I am so happy she joined him and Sloan! That's awesome! Another girl to join me!

After I did my routine I jumped back on the machines and finished up what I wasn't able to yesterday. Which was super hard because I am so sore today. Ouch! Didn't use my watch though so I don't have any stats to share with you tonight. Sorry! 

OH YA! And earlier today I spontaneously called up my mom and asked her to go running with me. And she did! We didn't go for a very long run, but it sure was nice to get out and go for a jog. I miss it so much! And the inversion wasn't too bad today. It was actually kinda crazy because it was 32 degrees out but felt much warmer because of the sun. But it was kind of annoying because it made deciding on the amount of layers to wear very difficult! But we did it! We ran. There were only a few spots on the sidewalk that never got shoveled that were super treacherous to go through with the jogging stroller. But other than that it was great! Because our city actually plows the walking trail!! Awesome!

Day 28, 12 Week Challenge

Went to the gym at 8:45pm tonight. Just a tad earlier than I usually do. Because Josh had his basketball game at 9:50pm.
I tried to hit it hard and fast, but tonight was legs/abs. It was the first time I had done them at the gym. So hard. My legs were all wobbly and jello-like. HooRaY!
But I couldn't finish in time. I missed out on 4 minutes of cardio and 4 sets of exercises. Dangit.  I really need the machines in order to do them, so I may just make up for it tomorrow. If I'm not too sore. And next time I will be faster. Tonight I had to wait for the machines. again. And I ran into one of the girls I know. She is absolutely gorgeous. Every time she goes to the gym she looks like a model. Hair, makeup, clothing, the works. Which makes my sweaty, blah-faced, hair not done self look even worse than normal. haha. But in true girl fashion we were idolizing each other's physiques. lol. 
But here are my stats for what I was able to get done:

Tonight was Pull Day. But in PHASE TWO. There are a couple of exercises from Phase One, but mostly new ones. 
It is good to switch up your routine so that you continue to progress and not plateau.
But my arms are definitely sore.
I am loving my new workout! But at the same time I am not so thrilled because it uses more machines. That means I have to wait in line for machines. ugh.
Plus, people are getting to know me at the gym so more people are starting to talk to me. I love it! But it does slow down my workout a bit and my HR drops too low.
Jordan's gf is mad at him. Poor guy. They are having communication problems. sounds familiar. And she is having a hard time dealing with his past. sounds familiar as well. The broad guy who walked with me out to our cars wants to go somewhere warmer. My ex-arch nemesis and I made up. She's actually super nice now. And there were a few other random run-ins as well.    Maybe it's because I had makeup on and didn't look so scary tonight??? jkjk.
