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.

12 week challenge, Day 12

Today was a good day. I didn't follow my nutrition plan exactly though. But I did like 5x better than I have been these past few days. I really cheated way too much! But I promised myself I was going to do this and so I can't let a few days ruin all 12 weeks. I started eating way too late today so it really messed up my meals. Plus we are out of eggs, so here was my food today:

6oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, lemon pepper
1/2 cup baked sweet potato, butter spray, cinnamon
1 cup frozen, chopped broccoli and cauliflower mix, butter spray, season salt
Biotin, Protandim
6oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, lemon pepper
1/2 cup baked sweet potato, butter spray, cinnamon
1 cup frozen, chopped broccoli and cauliflower mix, butter spray, season salt
1 scoop protein powder
1 medium red delicious apple, 1 Tbsp almond butter
3 Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Cookies
1 scoop Dfine8
1 scoop protein powder, multivitamin

Ok, so I have to gloat again tonight. Remember that boy that I was telling you about before. Well, his wife showed up tonight. While I was over doing abs and back on the floor she came over. She said that I looked very familiar, and I agreed. Then she asked where I went to school. Same school. I asked when she graduated. Same year. We exchanged maiden and current names. Sounded familiar, but just couldn't place it. So while I was working out and doing my cool-down and stretching I racked my brain. I could not place this girl. She looked so familiar. And then it HIT me! I DO know her! She is one of the girls that made 9th grade a living **** for me. She was a few words I will not name on here. And guess what?! She was fat. Hahahaha! Yep. She had let herself go. Hahahaha! Karma. So, while I drove home tonight I had to do my little victory dance. lol. So for all you girls out there dealing with whatever issues you might have and thinking life is horrible in Jr. High or High School guess what?! It can and WiLL get sooo... much better! Just enjoy it the best you can while you have it. Because one day none of it will matter.

 

Today was my PULL DAY. And after I did my workout I did a little extra and my cool-down and stretching. That is not part of the total up there. It's just a little extra something something for me. :]

Day Five

Today I was feeling kinda like a bum with Hallie until I called up my Mom. I asked her pretty pretty please with a cherry on top to go running with me. She did. We were both hesitant, but we ventured out onto the winter sidewalks around 1:00pm so that it would be warmer.
I bundled up my little girl in her snow suit. It's actually for next year, so it's way too big on her. But it kept her warm enough. And she takes after her mom&dad and so her head is on the larger side. So none of her baby hats fit her anymore. Luckily, I had a cute pink stretchy beanie that I put on her. And it fit! Well... as long as I folded the bottom up to the top. lol. And my wonderful jogging stroller has the folding cover that can flip down to cover her from the front so that the wind doesn't hit her. She loved it! She was so happy to be outside. She didn't even fall asleep. She just sat there and gazed out at the beautiful world as we ran.
We decided to be cautious and stay close to home. JUST IN CASE. So we only did a small lap. The total came out to just over 3miles. We took a very slow pace. But at least we got out and ran. That's all that really matters. Here are the stats according to MapMyRun+ ...

Average Pace: 11:54 min/mile
Average Speed: 5.04 mile/hour
Calories Burned: 288
Distance: 3.02 miles
Time: 35:59

and according to my Timex HeartRate Monitor...

Time: 36:32
In Zone: 36:32
Avg BPM: 135
Peak BPM: 193
Calories: 430

Huge difference on calorie burn. But I think it's because the cell phone app doesn't realize how out of shape we are and how hard my heart and body actually had to work to make me go 11:54 min/mi. haha.
And I felt great after the run. I felt like I could do a lot more. But I didn't. But then my husband came home 5 hours later and asked if I was going to go to the gym. I said no because I thought it closed at 5pm. stupid hours. But then I realized it was Friday and not Saturday and that it closed at 9pm instead. I was stoked! I had a little internal debate for a minute if I should go. And I decided I should! So I went. And it was wonderful. Everyone is off dating and partying so the gym was pretty bare. There were still quite a few people there, but like only one third of the usual crowd. It was great. I could actually use the machines I wanted to. And the sitting decline bench was available! It was a miracle.
I am so glad I went and worked out. I feel great now! I love double workout days! Here are my stats from the gym workout...
