My Fitness Journal Weekly Review

Hot and Sweaty!

Overall this week hasn’t been a horrible fitness week.  I couldn’t have pushed myself a bit harder in the running area, but the heat is crushing my determination!  🙂

Monday:  Wake up at 5:00 and go for a 30 minute run.  Weekdays I am short on time, so I set a time and not distance. This helps keep me on schedule and on time for work!  Strength Training in the gym at lunch.  Chest and shoulders day, I really have a strong hatred for Bench Presses!   The other exercises we did that day are just a blur.  hehe

Tuesday:  Wake up at 5:00/ 30 minute run.  Lunch time = Strength Training it was back day.  Dead Lifts were on the agenda this day.  These are actually my favorite of the different tortures my trainer comes up with.

Wednesday:  Today is HITT cardio and ABS day at the gym.  If you were wondering I do believe Plank is a 4 letter word!

Thursday:  Woke up at 5:00 A.M. to a thunderstorm, went back to sleep for another hours.  Good thing because it was Leg day at the gym.  In case you were wondering it is Sunday and my legs do still hurt.  I don’t care what anyone says doing squats with a bar and weights on it is a form of extreme torture.

Friday:  Slept through alarm. No run for me.  😦  It was arm day at the gym, it was pretty chill and nothing to crazy.

Saturday: REST DAY!!!!!!!   Did a little hiking and rock climbing with the husband and dogs.  Great day just so hot we couldn’t play outside long enough.

Sunday:  Got up and ran only 3 miles.  The heat and humidity was horrible but, I feel so much better for making myself run even in extreme temperatures.  I just know when it starts to cool down some and Marathon season kicks into overdrive I will be ready!

Remember tomorrow starts a new week and new opportunities to be strong!
