Squats!
95# x10
135# x6 (2 sets)
155# x5
I was feeling a little saucy so I upped it to 165.. but only made it 3 reps before I knew failure was coming so I stopped.
I am chasing that PR... 175 is next!
Then more hang cleans and RDL's at #65
Pull ups, rows, bicep curls, and dual pulley pulldowns ..this guy saw I had #42.5 on each arm and he was like "The bar is over there" No, I fully intend to lift this weight just the way I have it set up. And I can. My husband commented on me having an insanely strong back. Maybe he's right... I see other chicks pulling #30 and I do #85
Finished with some kettlebell swings, jump rope, and burpees, then some ab stuff
I must have gone a little nuts in the gym cause I crashed hard later on in the day. Whoops!
I had a good trip to Virginia last weekend, saw the family and walked around lots. I realized something though.
So I do struggle with a pretty bad sweet tooth. And I guess I always have. Now that I'm older... I don't drink soda much and I'm generally more conscious of sugar content in foods... so I find my cravings are worse because I'm not constantly consuming the stuff. It's something I struggle with on a daily basis. Now I thought I was bad... until I was around my oldest brother again.... So this guy loves cokes. That much has always been true. But it's gotten so much worse. He was bothering my mom constantly to go get cokes from the store (By the way, you are 48 years old and have a car, this is a problem you are capable of solving!) and then as a treat for the family I decided to bring home some cupcakes from Smallcakes. We had this shop in Georgia and they are really good. So I get them home and my brother is way too excited. We each take a cupcake and go hang out in the living room. About halfway through my lemon one I got that "ugghhhh" cupcake coma feeling (but it was so good!) but then 5 minutes later I see my brother come back with another cupcake. Downs that one. 5 minutes later, a third cupcake. Then he remembers my mom brought home soda so he goes to wash it all down with some more sugar. THEN he comes back in with a 20 oz bottle. 20 minutes later my mom came down and complained about how much soda he drank. 3/4 of the 2 liter was GONE. I was shocked... This guy crushed 3 cupcakes and 3/4 of a 2 liter in 15 minutes, and was about to start another 20 oz. Good lord! Now to his credit he did do a bunch of yard work that day so he definitely needed the calories and carbs, but still that is way too excessive. Later on that night I know he ate at least 1 more, so he ate 4 out of 13 cupcakes that were meant for 6 people.
I mentioned it to my mom because it's definitely a concern. Diabetes runs in my family. Addiction runs in my family, mostly in the form of alcohol. I do myself struggle with blood sugar lows and these crazy sugar cravings, so I'd be shocked if he didn't have some kind of abnormality in his ability to process sugar. And the thing is, he'll be the first one to preach healthy foods and natural medicines. So witnessing this really helped put things into perspective for me. I'm not THAT bad when it comes to sugar. But I have to be careful not to LET it get that bad.
And that's pretty much what has been happening. I didn't run this morning because I'm hella sore. But that's ok. I'm chillin out tonight, my husband has been sick for over a week and he actually feels human today so we are hanging out.
