5 Day Challenge!?

Sooo...remember yesterday when I said it was my goal to work out five mornings in a row? I hope that part of that goal wasn't that the workout had to be at the gym.

I set my alarm for 5:45 this morning, and per usual, I scoffed at the thought of actually getting up. 5:45 snoozed into 6:00...and I finally had to get up to use the bathroom. I padded back into bed, thinking oh well, I'll just sleep until 7:00, I am too tired for the gym. I ended up laying in bed until 6:15 wide awake and finally thought, 'Alright. I am up, I will at least lift weights.' Andd I did!

It went a little something like this:

Mini-Warmup

• 10 Pushups
• 10 Squats

Quickie Workout: I broke down my exercises into 3 groups, completing each group 3 times.

• Group One
• Lunges (x 15 each leg)
• Piroutte Squats (x10)
• Pushups (x 10)

• Group Two
• Bicep Curls (x20)
• Front/Lateral Arm Raises (x10 each direction)
• Dead Lifts (x15)
• Group Three
• Tricep Kickbacks (x15)
• Chest Press (x 20)
• Flys (x15)
• Skull Crushers (x15)

Finally...i finished up with some planks, side plans and ab work.

Normally, I don't feel like I get the same type of workout at home as I do in the gym, but today I was very sweaty and definitely felt the burn! I feel good today and even knocked 1 lb. off the scale!

This makes me down to 9 lbs total lost since about March - its been pretty inconsistent with dieting and exercise but I hope the next few weeks will be consistent and I can rack that number up to a whopping 15 lbs!
