hello all. late on saturay night. is there anything sadder than working out on a saturday night and then blogging about it? im not sure there is.
jumped and 8 minute abs this morning, but didnt get home till late so workout got pushed back boooooo hisssssss. knees feeling verrrrrrry tight these last couple of days. just 10 more days please knees, then you can pack in! might swim tomorrow instead of jumping to give them a break, i just find it terribly boring and time consuming. why cant they make underwater ipods? at least then i could listen to some podcasts or summink.
too tired to write anything earth shattering, although i did have a few eureka moments today, so will try write them up over next couple of days.
liking the intense workouts but generally not loving anything where muscle failure and gravity are combined. tricep deps, pull ups, push ups, plank etc. love the feeling on my muscles, hate the fear that if my muscles fail i will smack the floor/chair and knock myself out! it was a distinct possibility today during tricep dips.
oh yeah, and bicycle. if you could see me doing this, you would think i was insane. it must stem from all those years of ballet torture, i mean training. so 60 seconds is tough, but if i incorporate "dance moves" into it, i can cope. cue Louise flapping her arms around, shuffling her shoulders and cycling in time to the music, sometimes with turnout and pointed feet. LOSER. makes the 60 seconds pass quicker though, and my brain seems able to accept pain if it is in order to dance.
new pics up. i have given up trying to flex my abs. gutted, cos they actually feel totally solid! you just cant see it. honest guv'nor!
i love sundays. i plan to not leave the house all day, only maybe to get sunday edition newspapers. family arrives on tuesday. 2 more days of sanity left. and breathe.....
p.s saved my carb allowance from dinner - off to watch a dvd with homemade popcorn with garlic and rosemary. will let you know if its any good!
The popcorn sounds divine, and the dance bicycles sound hilarious--whatever gets you through, I say.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, by strange coincidence, my friend was saying just yesterday how she loves her aquapulse--an underwater iPod. http://www.finisinc.com/P-130030/Swimp31g
damn, girl! pics are hot. those arm muscles are not kidding around!
ReplyDeletei agree re: muscle failure + gravity. PANIC!
will try adding some dance moves to bicycle next time - anything to get my mind off the TORTURE.
I like failing with gravity. Living on the edge!
ReplyDeleteBitch, you is HAWT! Nice pics.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean -- floor jumps to failure are scary! But, yeah, living on the edge and all that. Every damn day. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking good, sister! Only 10 days left!!
gorgeous gorgeous pics!
ReplyDeletethey make underwater headphones. my friend swims with them. i think it's brilliant that the music gets piped in around your jawbone or something like that. not sure if these are exactly what she uses but possible wedding gift? :P http://www.swimoutlet.com/product_p/16751.htm
great idea bout doing 8min abs with jumps in the AM. i've been doing 8min abs after all our ab work and getting annoyed that i'm still working out after I check all the boxes on the sheet.
this is easy for me to say but hard to put in practice - don't let mom push your buttons. they're amazing at it but this week is about you and jose. :P
