    Monday 9/16

    I usually do chest & tri's on Mondays, but yesterday I woke up with stiffness and some pinching pain in my neck/shoulder area. I had my hot water bottle on me practically the entire day. I woke up with some relief this morning, but I figured chest probally wasn't the best idea, today turned into a back day.

    Back/Bi's

    *Warm Up- Hyper ext- BWx15, 20lbsx12

    Superset #1
    A. BB Curls- 50lbs x10x10x10x10 Wanted to go heavier but was feeling the pull on my neck
    B. Dead Lifts- 95lbs x12x12x12

    Superset #2
    A. Alt. DB Curls- 20s x10x10x10
    B. HS Rows- 25plate on each side x10x10x10x10

    Superset #3
    A. DB Hammer Curls- 20s x10x10x10
    B. Lat Pull Downs; wide grip- 70lbs x10x10x10x10

    Ball Crunches- 3x20
    Lying Hip Raises- 3x20

    Cardio- 20min on Stair Master; progressive intervals

    I am starting to slowly reduce my cardio. Last week I dropped 10min from Friday cardio, and this week I added a 10min drop to Monday cardio. I am slowly phasing into a "Building" plan. So I am in a wierd in-between phase right now. My goals right now for the next few weeks is just maintainance. Then after my b-day in October, I plan on taking about 4-5 consequitve days off then will be moving into muscle buidling mode.
    Lifting heavier, minimal cardio and more carbs= my favorite time of year

    We'll be starting around the same week. I took my b-day off from work (10/11) and since I work for a Bank we are closed on Columbus Day the 15th....I'll have a nice long 4 day weekend. So I'm going to take those days off from the gym, take the week as a "pre-game" week...then push right on ahead.

    I'm hoping to make my offical decision to compete in summer 2014 by January, but so far I am about 80% sure I'm going to do it. We have one major appointment with the baby in December, if that goes well all, the final piece will be the $$.I was FINALLY able to sell my old suit so I took the money and put it right into a savings account. If I can save at least $200 from now to January then it's a go!!

    Tuesday 9/17

    Cardio- 45min on elliptical 2:2 intervals, followed with about 10min stretching.
    My hips and hamstrings are feeling very tight. Time for a visit to the Chiropractor...

    Lol...well last night wasn't too bad. Meeting was off site and it was the Human Resources Committee (I am head of the HR Dept.) I got home about 8pm, was able to read little man a quick story, ate, packed my food for today, caught up with hubby and daughter for bit and managed to get in bed by 10.

    Today was only cardio...so I got an extra 30min for sleep.

    Thurs. 9/19

    Cardio- 45min on Precor Cross Ramp Machine- Progressive intervals- cross ramp level 4 up to level 16 then back down. 2:4 intervals

    I discoverd an awesome new tea. Sweet Harvet Pumpkin by Celestial Seasonings...drinking a cup right now sweetened with a 1/2 pack of stevia... LOVE IT!!! So YUMMY!!
    Taste like one of those expensive high calorie Chai Teas from Starbucks.

    Thursday 9/26

    45min cardio on elliptical 2:2 intervals

    ********************************
    Other news...I've been talking about going for my PT Cert for years...like over 8 years...well after a LONG conversation with my dad he decided to pay for my certification course, and test fees as my birthday present. So I am now registered with NCSF for self paced study, plus a two day in person workshop in November. I hope to sit for the exam by early December. Very excited to have this new goal.

    I've been having a rough time with a number of things lately, so I am looking forward to doing something for "me". I need something else to focus on for a little while....probally shouldn't add anything to my already overflowing plate...but I need to.
