Round 2, Day 5

So this week I have been keeping track of EVERYTHING I eat. My cal count is still a little low (avg 1500 per day) but I am keeping my water intake to about 1g a day evenly spread out over my waking hours.

Monday was great with the increased weight. I could really feel the add. weight that I was using. My back was feeling it on Tues like it never did before (save the very first day). I have to attributed this to the increased weight on the flys and lawn-mowers and all the cheat reps on the pull-up bar. My back is my second weakest point behind flexibility.

Tues. Lys wanted to do the cardio x option instead of Plyo. As much as I like Plyo I figured it would be too much for her as its still a struggle for me, and being as I have never even seen it before....... It SUCKED! (for me anyway) 1 third Yoga, 1 third Kenpo, and 1/3 plyo. Well at least it was one third enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, its a good workout, just not my style.

Wed is Shoulders and Arms. I love this workout. I had a great workout and again, the extra weight was awesome. BTW if you don't have a mirror in your workout area, get one! I never knew how much it would help me with my form, and the fact that I could see the muscles working was providing the extra motivation to knock out those extra reps.

I tossed in 45 min cardio at the gym on Thursday. After doing Yoga again (I skipped most of it in R1) I think I have been able to see that the problem is with my flexibility and not strength. My current train of thought is to do X Stretch on Thursdays and do Yoga on Sundays. This will give me more time on Sundays and Lys can act as my spotter.

And here we are on Friday and this is the situation I find myself in. I was sched. to come into work tonight at 10pm. No prob, get up at 7 workout, eat shower, out the door right?? Nope! Turns out one of my coworkers was in a wreck on her way in so I came in early for what will now turn into a 16 hour shift! Fear not friends, for I have brought the DVDs to work with me! Will I have time to do my legs tonight.........we'll see...been kinda busy.

NO Excuses!! I will get my legs and back , Ab ripper x, Kenpo and Stretching in by midnight Sunday! It will be tight with working a 12 hour tomorrow night but IT SHALL BE Done!

182.4 Lbs.........(Just for you Ward)
