Wednesday Workout Check-in...
| Wed, 01-07-2004 - 8:54am |
As Dr. Phyl knows...I get bored with my workouts. Especially that treadmill. So today I decided to shake things up a bit. I ran stairs for 5 minutes at full speed up and down. I did 5 minutes of step with extra leg lift at full speed and then I trotted down to the treadmill and jogged for 5 minutes to Styx. Moved onto the weight machine and did my chest workout. Then hit the floor for push-ups. Did I mention I can't do push-ups? Never have been able to. I'm doing sissy-girl push-ups right now, but I'm progressing and once I have the sissy-girls down, I'll be doing the big boy push-ups. The push-ups are my "secret" goal (as in secret from DH and the kids who can all do REAL push-ups...including our 8 yo).
I feel energized and even danced a little jig after I successfully did my push-ups!
Now...food for the day is the REAL challenge!

I can't get used to having men around me.I was having a phone conversation about underwear with a friend today and one of the siding guys came in to ask me something and heard more than he needed to know.I also need to remember they are working around windows and can see in.On the bright side though they crank up the music while they work and they love country music.

Good for you for the variety, and high-speed at that. WTG on the push-ups too. I'm back to knee push ups for now, until I get back on track. With my tapes, they hold them at the bottom for 3 counts or take 'em down for 2 counts, making them more difficult than regular up-down pushups. I was *very* happy when I could just do regular pushups. I wanna "wow" the guys at the National Guard booth at the Fair this year ;^).

Did 3 miles on the treadmill in 38 minutes. I ran 6 minutes in intervals total. Six minutes for me is major; if I were Native American, my name would be Runs for Nothing! I also upped my UB weights on the weight machine to 55-65 lb and reps to between 15 and 25. Felt great.
Ate well, drank my RDA of H2O, and now I'm ready to hit the feathers. Have a good night and a restful sleep!

I also am doing "sissy" pushups and am up to 10 now. But I don't have plans to go to full pushups. Not soon anyway.
