Confessions!

Well it has been a week since I finished the competition, and I will have to say this week did not go as healthy as I intended.  I have a not-so-healthy all-or-none attitude when it comes to eating right.  I think I had junk every day except for one day this week, which is not the way I saw myself going after this competition.

So, I am moving on.  Yep I had a crappy week, BUT I had 6 AMAZING weeks!  Time to be amazing again!  This week I missed that feeling of feeling really good about what I have done and what I have accomplished.  Therefore, this coming week I want to get that feeling back.  It is a pretty busy week but I think that will be a good thing for me to get back on track.

 I vow to blog EVERY NIGHT this week so stay accountable.

As for exercise, It has been going well.  I tried that plan last week and I have to say I really really really missed the cardio.  Today I made some changes.  I am not going to not do cardio because I don't want a body builders body.  I would rather a more ballerina-ish look (especially after going to see the Romeo and Juliet ballet this weekend) which means some weights and cardio.

I made 3 workouts.  One upper body, one lower body, and one full body.  I will combine this with cardio, hot yoga, and dance to make me happy.  Today I did the full body and cardio and it felt GOOOOOD!  I am going to be a sore puppy tomorrow!  Good thing I have two days of rest with my two 12-hour hospital shifts!

This was the workout for you curious bunnies...

Supersets (3 sets of 12 reps) of:
Bench press and dead lifts
Chest fly and abs
Cable Rows and stability ball extensions
Leg press by itself

20 minutes of cardio with intervals
-3 minute warm-up
-7 intervals of 8.0-9.0 and 3.4
-3 minute jog/walk to cool down

I think I want to start doing more running...I would like to be doing 10ks again, but I will have to see with my ankle (I was practically limping leaving the gym today :( )

SUCH A RAMBLE!  Oh well...its sunday - you have time!

Catch you tomorrow for accountability central!

Happy week!
