Hanging On

I've been not great lately* at the whole workout/eat healthy thing.  But also not terribly awful.

This past weekend, Josh and I went to West Virginia to go to a bed and breakfast referred to us by my 'special friend' (you know who you are).  It was so very wonderful.   We soaked in the indoor hot tub, read books on our private balcony, warmed up by our fireplace, got full body massages, put together a puzzle and ate very, very delicious food. Oh!  And we worked out too!  I put together a Body Rock workout on Saturday in the spirit of my Awesome Work Workout (AWW) for me and Josh.  Josh was able to hang, but didn't do the abs with me.  :)

This is what I put together (it's basically a hybrid of the last few I did at work):

5 Low Jacks, 5 Rock-a-Byes
Biceps Curls into Shoulder Presses (10 lb DBs)
5-5-5 Squats
Alternating Oblique Crunches
Upright Row into Sprawl then Push-Up (10 lb DBs)
3-Point Jump, 10 Mountain Climbers

Monday, I did not do the AWW because I was in another office.  Josh and I went climbing, but we had a time constraint so we didn't do a very long workout.

Tuesday,I was not feeling up to any cardio.  So I took a rest day.  It was also a birthday celebration at work so I ate a slice of chocolate cake, a whoopie pie and a single Double Stuf Oreo.  Not good.  But not as far off the wagon as I am capable of going.

That brings us to today!  Today I did my AWW with my friends!  It was good!  I did not stay for the abs because I was in a hurry to get ready to make an important meeting.  I feel like the workout was more upper body focused than normal.  But maybe it just seemed that way.  Here's the workout:

Biceps Curl into Triceps Kickback (10 lb DBs)
Chest Fly into Chest Press (10 lb DBs)
Step Ups with a High Knee (10 kg sandbag)
Pushups with Full-Body Rotation
Bent-Over DB Row into Sprawl (10 lb DBs)
3-Point Jump, 2 Froggers, 5 In-n-Outs

Then (oh, there's more), we went climbing this evening.  I did really well. It was one of my better climbing nights in the past few weeks.  :D  Also, I am under my calorie goal for the first time in like a week.  Maybe more.  WINNING.

*With the exception of today, of course, when I kicked the poo out of my fitness/health goals.
