Stopped hanging knee raises because I felt discomfort and pulling in my incision areas and I was not liking that. Back to regular crunches.
Worked in the ab work with the Step Ups during rest between sets.
Feeling super string today and so I was just going to go with it – take advantage of these days when they come at this point and do a great workout.

Cardio: 30 minute run and some walking through town. Feeling really energetic during the run and really going at it. Too late in the day for going to the beach and then doing my normal walk there.
Posing practice: 20 minutes
Those deads are getting tougher at 135, but I don’t want to decrease the weight because I like lifting 135 off the ground with the 45 lb plates on the sides. The height works well for me. So I am going to keep at 135 and get it done.
Smith Machine calves
1 arm cable row: small Precor cable tower, horizontal grip

Check in today: pictures sent; weight 123.3; Chest: 35; Waist: 27, Hips: 34 Nice!
Looking very lean and my abs like to show up in the mornings and sometimes in the afternoons and evenings. Regardless I am looking hard and seriously sculpted.

Abs: SS Long lever leg lifts with hip thrusts with cross body crunches no legs – just elbow to knee.

Cardio: Incline walk HIIT 12x20; horrible session. I think I zapped all my energy during yesterday’s run. Lesson learned: when I am supposed to do low intensity, keep it to low intensity and save the strength for another workout.
Posing practice 15 minutes
Had to drop either the weight or the reps to get through the workout – very drained.  I am not happy about this, but now I know for the future.
Not a good beach day today – cloudy and rainy boo!

Cardio: 30 minute bike – very tired session today. But the weight work was better than yesterday.
All cable work done on the Icarian tower system.
Accidentally put the wrong plates on the bar for close grip curls and I was wondering why I could not get through the set – total miscalculation. So I got in an extra set there at a heavy weight. Switched out the plates and finished the sets at the right weight.
Not a good beach day today – no time, had too much stuff going on today.

Rest! LC
This was a toughy – I ended up eating all of my meals pretty much at once at the end of the day, except for 2 meals eaten earlier in the day. So seeing as how I wanted to get up early and I had no food left, I decided to take a Unisom. Spent the day at the beach and took a lot of naps. Great day for it.

Leg Extension: 40x12x4

Cardio: walked on the beach for 60 minutes – took a few swim breaks. I did not bring my phone with me so I could go in the water. I walked 60 blocks total at a pretty good pace so I am happy for that.
45° leg press this time.
16 inch step height for step ups
Feeling woozy today from sleeping pill – won’t be taking one of those again unless I absolutely have to. Naps on the beach. Spent about 7 hours there today.

Uneven Push Ups: 12x3 on each arm

Cardio: Crossramp HIIT 12x20. I actually was able to get one of these so I could try this instead of running or spin bike. It was ok – I have to jack up the intensity if I can next time. Napped on the beach again today – spent about 4.5 hours there today. Then I had to come back to the house and start getting things ready for an early departure tomorrow.

So of course this evening I just had to go and slam my foot into the under carriage of the recliner. I was walking in the dark and I literally walked right into it and my right foot slammed up into where all the springs are. It was loud and shocking. It only stung a minute, but of course I was worried about my foot being broken. Luckily I don’t think it is. I put ice on it and elevated it. The top part had a large lump on it, no discoloration though. And after about 45 minutes of ice, the lump seems to be half the size, thank god. I also took 4 Advil just to help the swelling. It does not hurt and I can walk on it just fine, go up and down stairs, and I even jumped up and down to test it. I am probably making a bigger deal out of this than necessary, but at this point my perspective on things is clearly skewed. Hopefully it is a distant memory tomorrow and I can back to business as usual. I am way too busy for this crap.
