Today's Workouts

Ttoday... wow, what a day.

This morning when I got up, I was 4 pounds down. When I put on my pants and buckled my belt, I'd gone down a buttonhole! Then a few hours into work, I got an email from my gym.

We would like to offer you to be our Member of the Month for August. We like to acknowledge members with outstanding stories, and post the story on the wall for everybody to see. Would you be interested?


Of course I said yes! Seriously, I did not expect this. The gym has a wall of different peoples' pictures and accomplishments, they pick a different person each month. I guess I'm the one for August.

Warmup, 3 circuits of 5
Jumping Jacks
Split Jacks
Squats
Alternating Lunges
Mountain Climbers

Workout, pyramid weight
Elevated-Heels High-Bar Squat, 12@115lbs,10@135lbs,8@145lbs
Situps, 12x3
Wide-Grip Barbell Curl, 12@80lbs,10@90lbs,8@100lbs
Incline Dumbbell Triceps Extension, 12@10lbs,10@17lbs,8@30lbs
29:48, 228 calories burned

Afterwards I ran 3.2 miles, tried pushing the pace, but the heat got to me. 28:21, 8:55/mi ave (8:14,8:21,10:15,8:33), 347 calories burned - http://bit.ly/d4AfYW

Total calories burned: 575
Intake: 1724
