When I arrive home I start telling myself that a 30 min walk is more than enough exercise for the day, and there really is no need to do the home workout that I should do. 'I don't WANNA workout' - I am seriously turning into a slug! However, I did summon up the energy to get my hiney moving - more the guilt of not doing it rather than the want to do it.
So, I turned on the workout tunes and wrote myself up a routine. I did the following routine twice:
- Foward Lunges (10 per leg)
- Squats (10)
- Rear Lunges (10 per leg)
- Squats (10)
- Side Lunges (10 per leg)
- Squats (10)
- Russian Twists with 2 x 10 lbs weights (20)
- Tricept pull ups (15)
- Heels-to-heaven (20)
- Bicept curl (10 per side)
- Lower legs to hover/raise legs into the air (20)
- Tricept pull ups (15)
- Leg twists (on back with legs raised at 45 angle - lower legs slowly to one side, then other) (20)
- Bicept curl (10 per side)
- Old School Bicycling - slowly (30)
- Sit ups (20)
- Side Plank raises (15 per side)
- Sit ups (20)
- Full plank on elbows with rear leg lift (10 per leg)
- Sit ups (20)
- Full plank on bumbells, lifting weight to shoulder (10 per arm)
It took me 20 mins the first rep, and 25 the second I was moving at a good pace and was fairly sweaty. I told myself I would have to do two reps, and maybe a third would happen all by its self - that however, did NOT happen. I feel good for having done it, but man, I need the extra motivation these days. Thankfully tomorrow at noon I'll have Laurissa to put me thought my paces!
I must also confess my eating habits this week have not been stellar. Decent, but not great. I'm having a hard time saying no to things in the house (like the kids sweet recess snacks). And, true to my form, I do great all day long only to blow it in the late evening. Suggestions anyone??
Well, suppers ready - gotta go feed the fam!
Nite
