Bench press : 5lbs x12 x12, 10lbsx12 (will need to increase last set lbs)
Flys : 5lbs x12 x12, 10lbsx10
Arnold press: 10lbs x12 x12, x12 (small increase)
Lateral raises: 5lbs x12 x12, x10
Tricep pushdowns: 10lbs x12 x12, 20lbs x8 (went to failure)
Wrist curls: 5lbs x 30

Starting over...Sunday ...day 1

Sunday suppose to be a resting day.....not for me. I got up and started cleaning my kitchen. Once that was done, I started on laundry and got groceries. So far I had a full day. I planned the meals for the week, all fastfood fake outs, kids eat that better then anything else at this point. I even turned my dinning room into a sitting room which faces the kitchen. I like, the husband doesn't. But in the middle of my day I decided to hit the treadmill. At 2.6 mph for 23 minutes. I was able to complete a mile. When I started, I was only able to do 10 minutes. I am so proud of myself. I feel like I starting over but hopefully will continue.

Hurt but still doing it,, I AM BACK

Wow, it has been awhile since I did weights. I am so glad to get back into it. I have to tell, I was a little worried. I have a knot in my back right under my right shoulder blade and it still hurts. Husband messaged it a little yesterday, while I was yelling (truly yelling). He convinced me to do the weights anyway just at a really light weight (5lbs). I did it, and am super glad I did. My back still hurts but I, personally. feel really good.

I failed or is it "I took 2 weeks for me"???

I admitted. I failed my Christmas Pledge! but after sometime of thinking...I told myself that I was taking time off for me. The holidays were stressfully busy. It was not that fact that we still had a lot of shopping to do but the day before Christmas eve the water froze and broke the pipes. We had not hot water up until the Jan 1st. Which means we had to shower 3 doors down (we live in an apartment complex). Finally, things seem to be calming down, the complex is willing to compensate us by giving us a can of paint to paint the walls ourself. My livingroom will be dry cleaned but only after the water was sucked up the inch high water that was sitting there for 10 days. Well, after everything (and I didn't mention everything) I am going to be back to working out. Later today, I will be posting a picture of me with my measurements and weight. I will also detail my meals and routine just like before. Goals: I have a summer weekend trip to Washington DC and the NEW MOON movie premiere in November.

I do have to mention that I did not over eat (except maybe a couple of times) while I was away from the weights.

Getting back to moving!
