This weekend was nuts- really busy, but in a good way. I think things should calm down after today, but that may be wishful thinking.
The Boy’s First Workout
Well, gym workout, I should say. We went Saturday night. It was out “date night” which pretty much just means we decide we aren’t going to go out and do anything with anyone else. We headed to the gym around 8:00pm, and warmed up on the treadmill. We were originally only going to do 20 minutes, but Jerome wanted to go longer, so we ended up doing around 30. We raced the whole time-and I beat him to the mile marker (sucker). He stayed on a little bit longer to finish up a lap (the treadmill has a little screen with a picture of a track so you can see how many laps you’ve done. So basically, he pushed me to do more cardio, which is what I need.
After that we stretched, and started with the strength training.
For the most part, I had him to one exercise, then I would do a set while he rested and then we would repeat, then move onto a nother exercise.
From what I remember, we did:
I think that’s it. I did some weighted squats and calf raises, but we stuck to upper body and abs with Jerome.
He reported being sore, but not too bad, which is good. He said he wasn’t used to that jell-o armed feeling we all love so much, but didn’t hate it, so it was a success.
I LOVE working out with someone else. It’s more fun, and relaxing than just pounding through everything and leaving.
We are headed back to the gym tonight, which I think is going to interfere with watching The Bachelor season finale, so we will probably have to watch it online afterwards (so don’t ruin it for me:) )
Food
I’ve been eating like crap for the past week. Seriously. Too much food, and too much bad food. So this week I’m going to do my own version of Crap-free Week, which to me just means, don’t eat crap. I’m not good at rules or restricted foods, so I’m not setting any parmeters- I just need to cut out the junk for a while. I had that toxic bleeeeehhhh feeling.
Giveaway Alert
Those of you that normally get an email alert from me every Sunday about the weekly giveaway may have noticed it missing. I’ve got a lot of writing projects coming due pretty soon, which means I need to do a lot of emailing back and forth with my contracts to pan some stuff out. When I send out the email alert, it maxes out how many emails I can send in 24 hours, and I can’t send any until the 24 hours is up. So this week I didn’t send the alert to keep my email free. The giveaway is up, obviously, so go ahead and enter.
If you want to be added to giveaway email alert list, email me at kelly@everygymsnightmare.com with Giveaway Alert in the subject, and I’ll add ya.
and about the size thing: The things I giveaway are products companies donate. The Danskin items are the items I am sent to review, so I don’t really have any control over the sizing of them- sorry!
Tons of work to do! Back with more later! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
