Hi! I am a twenty something lifestyle blogger who is on a journey to be fit and healthy. Feel free to say hi or ask any questions. Find me at other places around the web through the links below :)
I don’t think I’ve ever sweat this much …
Fasted cardio, kind of just mixed up running and fast uphill walking. 50 minutes.
Now food and later legs. Let’s see how this goes lol.
… I also don’t think I’ve ever been this stinky o.O lol …
Starting some more targeted stuff … This was fun. The bicep curls actually pissed me off, I guess I’d done so much and it was hard to get five reps in a row at a time. Being pissed off helps, though! The hammer curls - I’ve never done them before, but I liked them. And the barbell rows were fun, too. This isn’t in order btw.
+40 min cardio
😅

I’m blanking on a lot of names right now because I’m all sprawled out on the floor. I don’t care that I was moving and exhausted, I shouldn’t have taken so many days off from working out. And yesterday’s short workout didn’t help. Lame.
Can someone heat up my prep food for me?

I know this looks shoddy, but I wrote it up on my phone. It just takes too long to make it all pretty. Anyway, pretty successful I think. I have that drained and tight and sore feeling I get when I put in a whole lot of work. Plus my lats are seriously pumped feeling right now. I can barely close my arms and when I do my muscles there are very tender. My legs are kinda jello but they have a good strong pump feeling, too. Idk I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Anyway, good work. I feel like the heavier weights for the legs and then including the dips and pull ups to get in a heavier weight really helped. I need to work on my core more so I can support that kind of weight without having to use any machines. I’m going to work really fucking hard with pull ups, too, taking off five every couple of times even if I can only do a few. I WILL be able to do a pull up on my own SOON! It’s one of my major goals that I MUST reach!

Worked out at the tiny gym today. For the last month, I’ve had a membership with my housemates. I think I will not renew it, though. My new apartment seems to have a spectacular gym for an apartment complex, and eventually I am really hoping to save enough to join a Crossfit box. Anywho.
Warmup
- 5 min. elliptical
- Foam Roller for quads, calves, IT band, piriformis. ***
- Band Stretches for upper arms.
- Back Extensions (3 of 10)
Snatch Practice
- Spent a lot of time with an empty light bar. Worked up to 25 lb. Really need someone to work with on this. It felt good once I came from the jump, but I don’t have the deadlift portion down. That’s one big reason I want to join a box, so I’m looking for one with great coaches.
WoD
- 10 Burpees - 5 Push Presses @ 25 lb. x 2
- 5 Burpees - 5 Push Presses @ 25 lb.
- 5 Burpees - 10 Push Presses @ 25 lb. x 2
- 7 minutes.
Stretch!
*** Tim Henriques from T Nation wrote a great article on Lower Body Warm-Up and included demo videos. This really helps warm up my body in a way that doesn’t expel a ton of energy before I’m ready to work. Check it out here!
Would have showed you my food, but it disappeared 😊

Really great ❤workout♥! Had a ton of super shitty callers 😡 tonight (per usual) and I think working out at night instead of in the morning is going to be beneficial in that it sort of puts up a barrier between my job 🏫 and my life 🏡. Anything to make life more positive! I can’t wait to get back to where I was last summer💪 and grow way more! One day at a time ☺ Now for some #wow and then #sleep 😴
