Last week was kinda rough, I was just exhausted I guess. Every day I came home and pretty much went straight to bed. I got in this routine of sleeping from 5-7 or 7-9 and then waking up, doing some work and going back to bed around 11 to wake up for football at 3:45am. It worked out because I have times throughout the day that I get super tired and then times when I'm wide awake. 3pm is when I usually crash in class and it's a struggle to get through.... good thing the other interns are falling asleep in there too haha. If I can make it through 5pm awake then I'm good. From 9-11pm I'm wide awak no matter what but if I stay up past 11 then I might as well stay up all night. Why am I telling you this? haha. Oh well.
So back to talking about working out - I think the low carbs were really hitting me... and being back at football lifts @ 5am. I didn't get all my workouts in during the week so I decided that Friday and Saturday I would make up for them... not my best plan ever!!
Friday I worked out chest/leg shaping aka plyos, then ran around Town Lake for an hour (which was fun bc it's Austin), then I headed over to Gold's and worked out Arms theeeenn did #8 which involves sprinting on an incline and pop squats haha. Needless to say, I got home and did nothing and fell asleep at 8:30pm hahaah.
Saturday I did legs (again... ouch) which included 150 "ass-to-ankle" squats, 150 leg press, etc... then followed that up with #18... stairmill sprints!! I thought I was either going to fly off of the thing or die... either one would have hurt less than the actual workout haha. For part of it you have to do 30 seconds at level 20... sweat was flying everywhere, I couldn't hold on to anything because it was so slippery, my legs were like lead bricks.. I was trying to watch the stairs, which were moving so fast that I couldn't see them quick enough.. and then at the end of the 30 seconds I was trying to move the level back down. It was silly. I was tripping and slipping and probably making all sorts of sounds haha. Luckily Julie (another Mike Davies girl) came along beside me as I was finishing and I saw her rockin bod and boulder butt and it encouraged me to know that I'll look like that in the end!
Sunday I took a battered body rest day
I posted a pic from Saturday mornings progress photos. Mike said things are looking good, which is definitely encouraging! I was feeling pretty down last week that I didn't get my workouts in like I was supposed to. Even if I get everything in the end, I still dont' feel good about it unless it's like it's supposed to be you know? I had a loooong talk with Coach on Friday about all of my training and wanting to get sponsorships. He told it to me straight and helped me out with some ideas on how to get my workouts in without actually having to find a full one hour block. That was very helpful and makes me feel a lot better about getting everything done. It's so nice to have support and encouragement from the important people around me.... from sharing "I dont' wanna workout" feelings to only giving me the lime from the margarita haha to sharing recipes and even just the weekly "how's "it" going?"
Thank you so much to everybody. You don't know how much I appreciate it!!
Over and out.
