Back to the Gym!

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

I skipped the gym all of last week.   The Saturday before it (the 20th) I had done 37 miles and learned that TX is not completely flat.   I didn’t feel peechy on Sunday and that just carried out throughout the week and I ended up not going all week at all.   I made up for it though (I guess) I did a 44 miler on Sat and 57 miler on Sunday.

I took yesterday off as a rest day and was back at the gym this AM.   I only missed 5 gym days and I already forgot my morning routine… How does that work?

At the gym I did 5 min on ET to warm up.   I did 40 min stength training.

- 2 sets of 20 Chest press – 5lb (my right arm and shoulder still hurt a bit from my fall on Sat so I wanted to take it easy)
- 2 sets of 20 Butterfly – 5 lb
- 64 forward Lunges with 3 lb weights
- 40 reverse Lunges – 3 lb weights
- 2 sets of  Barbell Squats - 25 lb weights
- 2 sets of Plie Squats – 10 lbs
- 2 sets of 20 Bicepts – 5 lb
- 2 sets of 20 Tricepts – 5 lb
- 2 sets of 20 Shoulder press – 5 lb
- 100 crunches
and some other ab workouts

I was craving lots of veggies for dinner.  I wanted something clean, quick and nutritious, so I made quinoa and topped it with steamed veggies and a side salad.  It was a perfect dinner.

Couple days ago when I annouced the winners of my Temp Giveaway, one of my winnder contacted me and mentioned that she can’t get Temp anywhere close to her and so she didn’t see a point in recieving the coupons.   The lovely people at Temp send her a T-shirt instead since she couldn’t try their products.   This means I had to go back to my comments and using Random Generator select a new winner.

and the winner is……

Kelli of Fit & Forty Something

Kelli please send me your contact info so I can mail you the coupons.

            I think #2 is true??

            There is no better dinner than quinoa with veggies. Although I did have some more polenta pizza and that was awesome too! I owe you one for that recipe. :)

                        I did the same thing last week! I just couldn’t seem to drag myself out of bed except for one morning. Luckily I’m back in the saddle this week!

                            Looks like an amazing dinner to me. That’s exactly what I’m craving right now but I’ll have to make some quinoa tomorrow because I’ll have dinner with my boyfriend tonight and he’s kind of sick of it right now ;).
                            Thanks for the award love! I have no idea what your truth is but I’m also guessing #2. (+I want to backpack through Australia too!!!)

                                      There is a little voice in my head that feels guilty when I skip the gym, but obviously, you exercize your body and fuel it so well, especially in comparison to 99 percent of other people. I am glad you wrote about skipping, because we need as a whole to keep HEALTH in perspective. Feeling attached to the gym and less then because you listened to your body is YUCKY! Good for you, and now, I am sure your body is thanking you!

                                          This is difficult… I am going to guess that the one truth is #6. I cannot picture that!!

                                              Thanks for the award! I think #2 is the truth? Only because I thought you said something like this before though…

                                                Sometimes your body just needs to rest. I think it’s good that you listened to your body, it needed the break probably. I am giving my body a break this weekend. I rarely go more than 2 days straight without exercise, but this weekend I am!

                                                That salad, with the fresh veggies, looks so yummy. I love it when I crave vegetables! It sounds so strange, but it really happens sometimes. Pretty cool, huh?!
