Push ups Week 4, Day 1 - Carla

I almost forgot to do my push ups tonight – it was almost 11:00 before I really thought about doing it. It was a tough set tonight...I wasn’t sure I was going to make it through each of the sets and was SUPER glad to be done with the last push up tonight! Also, I didn’t run tonight like I had planned to, but I did go for a walk around the block (about 1 mile) with my youngest tonight. Not exactly a 4.5 mile run, but at least it was something, right? Hopefully I’ll have a good, exercise-filled weekend – there are many classes for me to choose from and I need to get at least two runs in over the three days. Wish me luck!

Here's tonight's breakdown:

Push ups (21, 25, 21, 21, Max)

Max set: 32

Have You Ever...

...woken up and felt so much like crap that your joints ache?  That day is today for me.  Not exactly sure why... maybe it was the margaritas last night?  Maybe not.

I tried to do the push ups and I am not joking when I say that I couldn't even do one.  I am that weak.  I will try again tomorrow!

Independence Day Bike Trail

Remember how I was sad for not working out the past few days while traveling?  Well, my uncle called today and asked if I wanted to go on a bike ride.  We rode the Allegheny Highlands Trail alongside the railroad tracks from Frostburg, MD to Cumberland, MD.  A whopping 18 miles!!!  Ouch.  I am in pain.

Week 1, Day 3

So, I am in an airport hotel in Pittsburgh for my best friend's wedding this weekend.  I left this morning around 7am, just got here about 20 minutes ago, and I have to get ready for the bachelorette party in about 20 minutes so I have to book it!

Push up sets: 8, 10, 7, 7, max
Sit ups: 17, 22, 14, 14, max  (My abs still hurt sooo much from the last time! OUCH.)
Dips: 14, 19, 12, 12, max

Max Push ups: 12
Max Sit ups: 40
Max Dips: 25

The ceremony is on Friday and as a bridesmaid, I am super busy.  Will I have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to do my circuit?  If I don't, Carla will definitely hold me accountable!

Ouch!

So, I'm a little sore tonight. I'm definitely feeling my shoulder and chest muscles - I can feel the lack of BodyPump classes in my recent past. I could feel every little move of D's head on my chest while snuggling on the couch. We'll have to see if I'm able to do ANYTHING tomorrow, let alone 5 sets of each activity! Wish me luck!
