A- Mon(core), Tues(legs), Wed, Thurs(upper body)

Much needed rest on Sund...  Then Mon was a core workout day with my personal trainer.  Kinda lame, as she was trying to help me figure out the excersizes that I could do (and it what order according to the firing of the abs) but we never actually DID them... So I did them after our time - took about 35? min.  Tried jump roping into my ab supersets cause I knew I wouldn't have time for a longer cardio but I kept getting sharp pains in my sacrum. sp?     Did okay- REALLY like the excersizes- had NO idea how week my upper abs are cause I always work my lower and "side" abs.

Tues was the same workout that I did last leg workout, but I added supersets of jumproping to the first and last set. It was intense!  Loved it =) 

Wed 20 min steps, and 25 min laps.   Tried out a new bathing suit.... NOT so good for some strokes. ;)  My boobs were flyin all over the place! lol!  (obviously, I didn't do those strokes anymore ;))  Then swimming with Cole... =)  He LOVED it!

Thurs... feeling a little lame on the cardio... Just did upper body (same as last week- but I added an extra rep of push ups, used 40 pounds instead of 30 pounds on my tri/bi cable ropes and added a set to total it to 4!)

Tomorrow eve I'll try to make a class so I can get in some good cardio.

R - run

ran out side in the woods today with Frankie!  IT was awesome (but a little humid)  I am not complaining.

Did Zumba yesterday (it killed me)

Sun - Came back from Ohio - ack!  what a LOOONG day

Sat - Worked out at the Rec center in Ohio.  It was kind of a bummer because I have been having this piriformis pain and then all of a sudden I had a piercing pain in my ankle.  IT's gone a way but kinda ruined most of my workout.  Felt good to be there did 20/20/20 bike/stairmaster/arc.  ALso, good to get away from the kids.

Fri- ran for 30 min... desperately needed to escape.  Thankfully Mark let me.  :)

Thu - not much but enjoyed the pool at the Rec center with the kids.

Wed - traveling to Ohio

Tue - Walk with Frankine and kids

Mon - Zumba!!!  yay!!

A 4/23 Cardio at home

Did wii fit for 15 minutes- then cole got very impatient with watching me do the hoola hoop and cardio routines.

Then one to Dance for little kids.  Did those for another 15 or 20?

then over the next half hour did 4 sets of 100 jumps with the rope. Could barely finish the last set as my legs are getting stiff from yesterdays leg workout  =) 

A/C broke and they came out withing HOURS of me calling- love this new company- they just had to make some pressure adjustments from the initial install.  =)  SO glad to hear it's an easy (and free! fix)

A 4/22 Legs and cardio

Supersets:
1) 
DB 10 pounds each/squats, 12 reps 3 sets
Jump squats, 12 reps 3 sets
jumprope, jumping to 100 each set

2)Legpress:
Wide, middle, and calfs - 45 pound disc, 12 reps each set, 4 sets

3)
Walking lunges, 18 steps, 3 sets
curtsy squats, 18 total,  3 sets
jump rope, 100 jumps per set, 3 sets.

Walking for 20 minutes... felt a little like hurling towards the end of my walk- glad I didn't do anything hardcore for my cardio.

Cole was VERY good in child care today- a RELIEF for me to hear.  I think he really got the talks that we had regarding NEVER hitting baby's

A 4/21 Cardio/core

this was a rough day...  I wanted to do supersets of jumproping (counting to 100 jumps each set) then do core excersizes.

10 minutes into it, a nice childcare lady told me Cole kicked a baby in the face.  i was shocked and so disterbed ( I kept working out for another 20 minutes as they said I didn't need to come get him and that he was just crying from feeling guilty)  But the whole time I had trouble concentrating. I had more "workout in me" but my heart was aching for Cole- it was clear to me that the fact that he got kicked in the face this last Mon (twice!!) really WAS affecting him...  Plus I was also REALLY mad that he had lashed out on a baby.  (baby was okay by the way- no bruise- he kicked her in the cheek- lightly- but STILL!!) ...

Anyway I quit at 30 minutes. ended up doing a total of 6, 100 jump, jumprope sets between 6 other sets of core  (caterpillers- 4 sets, 2 times) (laying down leg lifts 2 different types- 2 times each, 3 sets for each  time.

that sounds really confusing - wish I knew names for some of the core stuff. mostly leg lifting and hips/leg lifting/

A 4/20 Upper Body with Trainer.

I'm pleasantly sore again - not too badly though- I love how she brings me to that middle ground of recovery the next day- not CRAZY sore like most of the other trainers I've had. 

Started with Superset-

Wide pullups and pushups- 12 reps each (pullups assisted #13) 3 sets

Cable Flys or DB (20pounds cable, 15 flys - our machine got bogarted ;))  and seated Row 50 pounds.  12 reps for each set 3 sets.

Non super set- overhead press... holy hell.  That was HARD.  I needed assistance for the last set.  3 sets, 15 pounds, 12 reps

Supersets tri/bic rope/pulley.  30 punds, 12 reps

Good stuff!  

I'm excited to have a leg and upper body workout to do for the next 3 weeks.  She's going to show me core next week... I'll be ALL rounded out for my workouts =)

R - Walk

Went to civic center with the kids.... good times.. woo hoo!
