Fitness Update........

Well, as exciting as the last two days have been, I've actually been able to stay strong with my training. My ankle is doing VERY well, I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's what I've been doing:
  • Wednesday: AM Cardio, Chest, TurboKick (teach)
  • Thursday: AM Cardio, OFF, Core Central/Hi-Lo (teach)
  • Friday: AM Cardio, Arms (triceps/biceps), Cardio
  • I've done AM Cardio EVERYDAY this week!!!! That was my goal, 7 days in a row. 5 down....2 to go.....it's getting a LOT easier! It's actually nice to hit the bike for 40 minutes and read a magazine or watch the Todays Show coverage on Paris Hilton......ha ha, I'm sure that's just the kind of news they want to cover; I mean, aren't there bigger issues???
  • Tomorrow: AM Cardio, LEGS, and more cardio after lifting.
  • I'm feeling SoOoO strong. The Glutamine supplement (3x a day) is pretty fabulous. I can lift HARD, break down the muscle fibers, and boy, does the glutamine help in a quick recovery of those muscles! That, & Epsom salt baths & eventually-massage! :)
  • I'm sticking with 3 days on, 1 day active rest, 2 days on, 1 day active rest!
  • Progress pix next weekend................

New Day, New Week...110 DAYS TO GO!!! :)

Well, I've mentally accepted the fact that letting my ankle heal properly will pay off in the long run. :) I've done pretty well since Wednesday night. I didn't do any cardio Thur, Fri. Sat. and then yesterday I did about 40 min. of upright bike and a full shoulder/chest workout. Today, I'm hoping to do the same thing cardio wise, and do a back session. Tomorrow, if all feels well, I'm doing to do legs. There are plenty of non-weight baring exercises I can do.
Let see.........Ohh, I got my new diet for the next 3-4 weeks and am realllllly excited. I have three variations to it, depending on what body part I'm lifting or if it's an off day. Gotta love mixing it up! So, I'm taking a nice little power nap here in a minute, then heading to the gym, then to the store and then home to watch Hell's Kitchen......oh yeah!
Any day now I'll be signing off as, "AUNTIE EM" :) :) :) :) Can you tell how excited I am?!?!
