ok so maybe it was 7 miles i actually ran and 1 mile was a warm up...
got in an hour of cardio at the gym this evening and plan on ab work and shoulders after the kids go to bed.
I've been feeling exhausted here lately but am unable to sleep well......
(doesn't help that M isn't sleeping good either and has slept in mammas bed the past 2 nights)
and im still feeling under the weather.
where did that saying come from btw? how did that translate into not feeling well?
anywhoo
home workout tomorrow due to waiting until Sunday night to schedule lil M for this week gym child watch. i hate the 24hr notice but understand they need to be well staffed for the babies.
this week marks re-incorporating fasted AM cardio,HIITS and plyos to the list of prep!
whooooooooo!
17/18 weeks out from show
19 weeks out from 1/2 marathon!!!!!
im excited!

hey melissa happy ny! would love some progress pics and what weights you are lifting and when you up the weights ?? thanks, cheers Amanda
ReplyDeletehey melissa, btw, what is dirty 30's exercise? i googled it but came up with nothing thanks, Amanda
ReplyDeleteYAY! Time is coming up quick. I can't wait to follow your prep! I can bet you are so excited for HIIT, I love those days =) Great run too!! Hopefully you all can get a little sleep!
ReplyDeletewow! I would love to see progress pictures. I'm 22 weeks out from my prep!
ReplyDeletethanks gals!
ReplyDelete@ amanda--dirty 30's are a triceps exercise on the cable machine.
first 10 reps are pressdowns with a nuetral grip ,the 2nd 10 reps are with a reverse wide grip,and the last 10 reps are a reverse close grip. the reps are performed consecutivly,so it REALLY burns by the last 10! targets all 3 heads of the triceps...
AND progress pics will be coming soon,maybe?
still comtemplating that one...
oh and also,i wont start uping my weight in the gym until about 6 weeks out before the show. i gain muscle fast,so im not in a rush to lift heavy yet. right now is focusing on getting cardio in and leaning out,THEN will work on detail work!!!
hi melissa, thanks for taking time out to answer! def be doing dirty 30 tri's they sound awesome. you are so lucky to gain muscle quick. i am 5ft 11in and have long lean muscles (there is a technical name for that ive been told) so i can work out like crazy and not see much progress. i know i have to have minimal fat to see those muscles but i see other peoples muscles and they dont work out as hard or heavy as me! it so unfair !!!!! good luck on your progress look forward to seeing and reading your stage journey - i have 3 young kids too so i get how hard it can be. cheers, Amanda
