Gym is Open (Manic Monday 4/21)

Sorry to remind everyone that it's Monday.  The gym is open! What did you do to move your body today? Kix

Good Morning Kix! My Allergies having been kicking my butt all weekend and the alarm actually went off this morning or I'd still be snoozing on, but I still made it into the gym first thing this morning! 15 mins elliptical 30 mins weight training  4 25oz bottles of water in too.... whew, I must have been thirsty!

Do you take anything for your allergies?  When I do, I find myself so darned thirsty that I can barely get enough liquids to drink.  Allergies are kicking my butt, too, I'm allergic to the pine tree pollen. Achoo! Kix

I finally broke down and took some OTC Zyrtec.... I was really surprised at how well it worked......

Thanks, Kix.  Not your fault Monday arrived so soon -  I was pretty lazy this weekend, compared to my usual activity level.  Quite lazy in fact - it was delightful, but I'm getting antsy today - too much stored energy I think.  Or perhaps too much caffeine in the morning coffee.  Either way, here's today's plan: - strength training and core work at lunch.  I can't recall what I did the last time I did strength training, upper body or lower body, so I'll do the opposite today.   - 60 minutes of cardio after work Looking forward to two good workouts today!!!!

Did you enjoy your workout after having a relaxing weekend? Kix

On my honor I do solemnly swear to exercise today! lol What i'm going to do I don't know yet, Most likey run the pond Or I was thinking amybe I would go to the lake today, I'll repost and let ya know! But atleast this way I can hold myself to it!  Thanks  Kix :)

Excellent workout this morning.  Didn't struggle too much after the weekend break with my total body strength training.  I switched around the order of the machines and that seemed to help a bit get the muscles moving.  50 minutes and I felt excellent when I was done. My shoulders and arms are really getting toned.  Not that it's going to help the angel wings that hang down below, but if I can ignore my angel wings I'm pretty pleased!

Glad you enjoyed your workout!  You should see my upper arms -- the top look all toned, and then there's all this hanging skin.  It's really scary!  Kix

I'll do 45min treadmill and full body strength training at the gym tonight.  I didn't do anything Sat or Sun at the gym, but I did walk around outside a whoooole bunch on Sat.  I'm having a rough couple of days with energy levels, I just want to sleep.  I am out before my head hits the pillow and I don't wake up until the alarm rings.  And if there is no alarm (yesterday) I literally sleep until my bladder is fit to burst - I slept 12 hrs yesterday without even waking up to turn over!  What's up with that???
