Happy Saturday!

Good Morning!  I have been waking up at 5:30am for the past several days without an alarm!  The first couple were because my cat thought I needed to be awake and told me so by scratching me in the FACE (let me tell you, that is not a pleasant way to wake up)!  Now I just seem to be waking up at that time on my own (probably out of fear that I’m going to get scratched in the FACE).  It’s kind of nice because I don’t have to hear the alarm and it gives me more time to mess around on the computer and drink coffee before I do morning cardio.  So, thank you, Brutis, for waking up me up so early (by scratching me in the FACE)!

Of course, if the girls see me taking a picture of Brutis, they want their picture taken too!  Good Morning, Girls!

I completely ran out of time yesterday to post. So, I’ll just sum up Thursday for ya, since I know you don’t want to miss out on a day! 

My workout looked like this:

• Morning cardio – 40 minutes
• Went to the warehouse and did this circuit 4 times:
  • Overhead Press
  • Walking lunges
  • Lateral/Medial Lunges
  • Pushup/side plank
  • Pull ups (assisted)
  • Cable bicep curls
  • Overhead side bends with band
  • Kettlebell side bends
• Cardio machine - hard as I could for 5 minutes then abs for 5 minutes (repeat twice)
• Treadmill (incline 10, pace 7.0) run for as long as I could (about 30 seconds!) then jump off, repeat 10 times

My diet was pretty much the usual….some oats, some egg whites, some brown rice and then for dinner:

Justin can cook a steak!  It was so delicious!

Okay, so that was Thursday.  Moving onto the star of this post, FRIDAY!  I had a great day!  My legs were still pretty sore, but not “I-feel-nauseous” sore!

My workout looked like this:

• Morning cardio – 40 minutes
• Train with Diana
  • Flat bench
  • Burpee with overhead press
  • Pull ups (assisted)
  • One arm row
  • Front/side shoulder raises
  • Rear delt flyes
  • Alternating side planks with dumb bells
  • Pull up hops
  • Barbell Bicep curls
  • Skull crushers

When I got home, Justin’s Mom was pulling up at the same time, so that was a fun surprise!  We got to visit with her for a while.

My diet looked like this:

Meal #1:  Oats with protein

Meal #2: One slice brown rice toast, one scoop protein

Meal #3: Egg whites, 2 slices brown rice toast

Meal #4:  Ground turkey, brown rice with peas and carrots

Meal #5: Oats with protein (failed on the picture quality!)

Meal #6: 1 scoop protein, broccoli, green peppers

Last night was date night and we went to the movies and then over to my younger sister’s house.  So, I ate oats and protein before we left, which kept me satisfied through the whole movie!  Then, on the way out to my sister’s place, I ate the bag of broccoli and green peppers and drank my protein.  It worked out perfect!

We saw The Fighter and it is a terrific movie!  I highly recommend it!  We went over to my sister’s to pick up my computer, that her fiancé had fixed for me (remember the Dell that I thought was dead, IT’S NOT thanks to Matt!), and to chat for a little while.  We ended up playing Kinect and it was so fun!  We definitely need to get one now!  Justin and I both were sweating and out of breath after about 30 seconds of playing!
