working out is HARD!
I’m on track with my gym schedule. “In the Gym” #2 is in the books but this working out stuff is really hard. I mean, it really takes it outta me! After yesterday’s workout I felt completely exhausted. I guess it will take time to get used to just like running did just like biking did!
10 minute warm-up treadmill run
3 sets x 12 reps bench press
3 sets x 12 reps dumbell bicep curls
3 sets x 10 reps back extensions
2 sets x 12 reps dumbell tricep extensions
3 sets x 12 reps shoulder press
3 sets x 12 reps shoulder shrugs
2 sets x 12 reps bent over rows
3 sets x 10 reps abdominal crunches (one more set today!)
3 sets x 12 reps lat pull-downs
3 sets x 12 reps seated cable rows
2 sets x 10 reverse grip curls (new today to work the forearms)
2 sets x 10 on the “pec deck” (new today)
P.S. I could eat more than a horse lately! I think I have that in common with Dianna. (Was that you Dianna?)

Yes, I tend to consume quite a lot of food in my effort to not have a “crash” while running. I’ve been made fun of more than once in social situations, as I go back to fill my plate for the third time. (In my defense, I eat healthy foods-not crap! Mostly.)
As a matter of fact, just yesterday my husband was kind enough to point out to me that if I ever stop running (gasp!) I will most likely triple in size almost instantly from all the food I eat. Isn’t he the sweetest?
