I had a great workout on Thursday, except that I went to a different gym location and it smelled like Gorillas and didn't have very good equipment set-up.

Warmed up 3 minutes Treadmill

Arm Day

I did one-minute stepping intervals between my working sets. I varied it with straight-on step-up/step-down, plyo-toe touches off the sides, v-step-ups, and step knee-ups.

Close grip bench press 95X15, 105X12, 110X10, 115X8

Skull crushers 55X12, 12, 10

rope pressdowns 45X15, 55X12, 65X10

Seated db curls 15'sX15, 20'sX12, 25'sX10, 30'sX7...the last few were alternating.

Ez bar curls, standing 45X12, 55X10, 55X10

I followed it all up with an interval program on the treadmill - I walk for a few minutes, climb steeply for a few minutes, walk for a few minutes, run for a minute, walk...repeat for a total of 15 minutes plus a 5 minute cool down. It felt really good and i went faster each run interval, but this morning my feet are sore...oh well.

Food was better...

breakfast -
2 slices toast, smart balance
2 eggs, 2 whites
grated cheddar cheese
an orange

before I left for the gym -
1 scoop whey in fast twitch

post-workout
2 scoops whey
malto/dextrose mix = 15g cho

2pm
leftover steak
potato (small amount)
broccoli

5:30
roast beef
2 tiny baby yukon gold potatoes
salad (romaine, carrot, onion, drizzle dressing)

7:30 small protein bar (on the way to pick up a GIANT tv set).

before bed - a small handful mixed nuts.

I helped my husband pick up and move a huge, in-the-cabinet tv set...afterwards he said he was impressed, because he knew I was strong, but not THAT strong, lol. At one point it was going a little off-track when we were bringing it down the stairs and I grabbed it and moved it over a little...that surprised him. Anyhow.... a fairly good, fairly on track day. And, yes, I know, fairly good doesn't win swords, but I am still trying to get myself caring about that again...
