My foot is still sore, but it IS feeling a bit better after getting a steroid shot yesterday. I am really interested to see how long this workout takes. I hope it takes a while and kicks my butt. I need to work hard, because I feel SO fat right now. I feel like my control has slipped a bit. I feel like I'm eating bad and I'm tired all the time. I'm sure it's emotional...I feel depressed and every afternoon, I just want to sleep...which is so NOT me normally. I usually reserve sleep for nighttime. I AM tired, but I honestly think I just want to escape feeling frustrated...lonely...sad...lost. Now that all my kids are in school and my friend is gone, I feeling like I'm just "floating"...existing without a purpose. I'm excited to workout each day, but when I'm done and I come home...and I'm alone...with nothing to do...the excitement fades and I just go through the motions until the day is done and it's time to start the process again...the same way...day after day. I need to change that. It's weak and not productive in ANY way. I need to figure out what I want and how to get it. I need some motivation...a goal...a purpose. For now, I'm gonna do one of the things that always makes me happy. I'm going to the gym and I'm going to work hard.
WEEK 1/DAY 5
(warm up 5 minutes on crosstrainer)
25 X PULLUPS
50 X DB DEADLIFTS 50#
50 X PUSHUPS
50 X BOX JUMPS ON 18" BOX
50 X DECLINE SITUPS
50 X HANG CLEANS 45#
25 X PULLUPS
(35 min to complete)
CARDIO
30 MIN ON ELLIPTICAL/CROSSTRAINER
(stretch for 5 minutes)
I wanted to do 40 minutes of cardio, but after 30 minutes of the crosstrainer set on "hills" program, my foot was really bugging me. Other than that, it's feeling so much better. This was a good workout. The hang cleans slowed up my time and I had to do the DB deadlifts 10 at a time, rest 30 sec to a minute and then continue. It was harder than I expected, I felt really strong though. People were looking at me like I was crazy when I started up with the hang cleans (especially one of the "evil step sisters" that hates on me, the brunette psuedo aerobics teacher...I'll probably see her trying it on Monday with her sidekick). I guess it's okay though...It keeps em all wonderin' and keeps me humble and motivated to do my best...especially since I feel like I have an audience most days.
