June Workout Plan

Wow! Have I ever been busy. Between work, weddings and the gym I have had NO social life or time to blog. It is very upsetting. What is even more upsetting is I have a solution - but cannot follow through. Wake up early. That is all there is to it. Wake up early, go to the gym, go to work, have a social life. And I'm not even talking that early. I don't work until 10am. That means I can work out from 8:30am to 9:30am. Ugh. I really need to work out in the mornings. New goal. Or same goal, in effect again. Either way here is the plan I have been following in June:

Cardio - this is a killer. My PTNB wanted me to sprint at 8mph. Ha! I tried. For 2 seconds until I was an inch from flying off the back of the treadmill. I can do 7mph, but not very gracefully. June 9th was a hangover workout, and I was only able to do 4 reps. Tonight I will try again. Yikes!

Push - pretty self explanatory. As a side note: do not look at yourself in the mirror when performing a scaption and shrug. It is basically lifting barbells from your sides to out in front of you, then shrugging. Lets just say my "shrug face" is the ugliest thing ever. Ha! Oh and best to remove your ponytail when doing an overhead tricep extension. I was using mine to rest the dumbbell when my arms were sore. Apparently this is frowned upon.

Legs - this is a doozy! My hamstrings were soooo sore after the first workout. At least I knew the my muscles were being worked. Yikes. I skipped the June 12 leg workout to run 4km. I think this is justifiable.

Pull - finally, the pull exercises and abs. The rear lateral raise is quite uncomfortable, but it definitely works my back. Also - i did finish the up down plank on June 15. I just had to do it last as my arms were sore as hell from the weights. Forgot to enter it in. Oops.

 The only downside to June so far is I was up 0.4lbs on Friday's weigh-in. :( I'm trying not to get to sad about it, as this is the only time I've been up in 2.5 months. My PTNB says that is unheard of. So I'm over it. LOL. I am going to push myself harder this week and eat a bit healthier. I have been having a few too many "cheat days" lately. I almost forgot to mention - on July 1st I am cutting out wheat for a month! After reading Wheat Belly, it is something I want to try. Wish me luck.

New goals: Work out in the mornings this upcoming week and July 1st LOSE THE WHEAT!
