Day 16 ~ SUPERSTAR Saturday

I am so proud of me today. I had a really tired week for some reason where all I wanted to do was sleep and had to talk myself into workouts. I stayed with my bodyweight lifting program on wednesday, did my cardio and ab work on thursday, and yesterday was baaaad. I seriously screwed the pooch diet wise. That's what happens when DH brings giant cheesecakes and peanut butter cookies in the house. My willpower leaves the building! Eating and sleeping constantly isn't the best thing to do. But now, onto today. My fabulous DH let me sleep in as late as I needed to so I woke up feeling refreshed and raring to go instead of dragging butt like I have been. I got a good breakfast in, stretched some and went off to teh gym.

CD: 12 Weight: 133 ((stupid PB cookies!!)) Mood: SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!

I started off with my ab work so that I wouldn't be so tired by the end that I would skip it. This seems to work better for me so I'll stick with it. It's a really good warm up too.

I was still feeling great so I moved on to Intervals on the treadmill. I did the advanced routine out of the Oxygen Abs special, walking and jogging in 1:2 minute intervals, minutes 25-30 were steady jog, and 30-35 was 30 seconds hard sprints, 30 seconds recovery, then a cooldown. So 40 minutes overall. I left the gym feeling like a superhero! I know that this is because I'm nearing my Ovulation and therefore my testosterone peak, so I knew I had to get in that hard charging kick but workout while I had the chance, next week will be kick but and then the week after, well that's going to be an exhausting take it asy week so I'm going to take advantage of my energy surge while I have it. :D Tomorrow is resting, and we'll see how I feel on Monday and what DH has planned for my birthday. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
