  • January 11:
    -DB bench press, DB shoulder press w/bicep curls, KB swings and lunges, DB and KB tricep extensions, seated cable row, about 15 min cardio

    January 13:
    -20 min HIIT on arc trainer
  • Monday, Jan 14th:

    60 minutes total on elliptical, resistance at nine, alternating backward & forward. This was split as a 10-minute warmup and then 50 minutes after training session.

    My training session today was again in deadlifts, doing the clean jerk, and today we used the squat cage. I am a beginner at this, but wanted to record where I am with each move. These are for 10 reps apiece:

    75 lbs squat
    70 lbs deadlift
    40 lbs military press

    I'm not going to record every pound of my progress here, but I will revisit this thread in a few months to see how far I've gotten on, hopefully beyond these starting weights & reps.
  • January 14: Cathe Friedrich CrossFire (56 minutes)
    45 minutes weight lifting (biceps triceps and chest)
    10 minutes foam rolling
  • Tuesday, Jan. 15th:

    60 minutes Stairmaster stepmill, resistance at nine, random intervals, split up in two 30-minute sessions. The initial session was a killer, the second one not as bad.
    60 minutes chest, shoulders and triceps workout. It is getting easier to bench-press the 60-lb barbell for 17 consecutive reps, which I do about five times in this particular workout.

    I will miss yoga tonight, only the second session after trying to fulfill my resolution -- but it's for an excellent cause, as I'll be at the local zoning board advocating for our floodwall.

    January 13: first time I've ever tried back to back bikram yoga classes-- I won't do it often but it was amazing! I had a snack between classes and I had quite an indulgent lunch afterwards so I'll be curious about what the scale reports tomorrow.

    Apparently when I go outside with the dog there is some sort of atmospheric disturbance that causes it to rain. It's fine when I go out, it starts pouring, I give up and come in, and it stops raining. grrrr
