    Okay. I have slacked but I was on vacation for 8 days. No workouts but back at it as of yesterday.

    Wednesday workout:

    Cardio: 15 min. warm up on the arc trainer
    Strength: Chest: Flat press 3x10; Incline press 3x10; Decline press 3x10; Incline fly standing db 10x3; Fly machine 10x3

    Food: Good to be back on target with the food. No booze (except weekends)

    Thursday (projected):

    Cardio: Treadmill run - probably on the slow side (9:15 minute mile) 30 min.

    Strength: Back: Wide pulldowns - 10x3; Chin-grip pull downs 10x3; Seated row 10x3; straight arm pull downs 10x3; 1 arm bent over cable row - 10x3; two arm high cable row 10x3; Back extensions: 10x3
    I think it's also leg day and I'm hoping for squats: 10x3; plie 10x3

    Foo: Will be on target again today. Pushing the water. No booze.
  • TGIF! It feels awesome to be back in the swing of things and back at the gym. I hate it when I go places without an on-site gym because that means I won't workout even if I bring my clothes!

    No legs yesterday. Did abs instead - dumbbell side bends and twists 1x15; 1x12; 1x10. Had a good, slow run - 9:05 minute mile.

    Today:

    Cardio: 30 min. run - speed intervals

    Strength: Shoulders: Smith: Shoulder press, wide/narrow upright rows; front/back shrugs; cable front/lateral raises; rotator cuff 3x10 (or until failure. Which with my husband spotting me means 10 lol).
    Legs: Squats: regular/wide; lunges

    Food: On target! Liking this no booze thing, although tonight there may be some wine as it is Friday but it will be in moderation.

  • TGIF!! *happy dance*

    Yesterday was an unplanned rest day unfortunately. Didn't get up early and didn't go as planned.

    Today, however, we have to go out so we will be hitting the gym in the afternoon.

    On deck:

    IF we do cardio I will be doing a 30 min. run - possibly speed work. Not sure yet.
    Chest: DB work: single arm flat DB press; single arm flat flies; single arm incline press & flies; pull overs; 3x10
    Abs: Floor work: Planks, crunches

    Food: Good. Today I'm going to have to watch the calorie in-take since we'll be going out to dinner tonight and I know that wine will be involved.

    If I haven't told you yet, just be wary of alcohol intake. Alcohol inhibits any fat loss until it's out of the system. Keep it up!

    Is it just you two? Do you mind if I get other people to join? I'd also like to join if that's okay. And, I'm a total newbie, so don't laugh at how little I lifted. My arms are very weak. LOL. If I remember correctly, this is what I did yesterday:

    Morning:
    ARC (1 min)

    incline press (10@25lbs), leg extensions (5@70lbs), leg curls (5@70lbs)

    I did this two times: incline press (10@25lbs), leg extensions (5@70lbs), leg curls (5@70lbs), leg extensions (5@70lbs), leg curls (5@70lbs), recumbent bike (3 mins), ARC (2 minutes). * On the 10 on the incline press, I had to go down to 15 lbs because I could barely lift the weights without my arms shaking.

    Afternoon:
    30DS L1
    portable stepper (3 minutes)

    Enjoy your Sunday. :happy:

    Everyone is welcome! Niner started this topic 2 years ago for anyone who wanted to post their workouts, etc to keep themselves accountable.

    No workout is too small, etc. Just get it done.:smile:
