{Back and Biceps Day}

I most definitely did NOT want to get up this morning to work out. I only got about 5 hours of sleep. I HATE switching schedules! I normally don't have a hard time on day shifts but I am this time around. Anyway, so yesterday should have been my back and biceps day but I got even less sleep the night before. Instead of working out after work and risk not being able to sleep, I decided to skip yesterday and get back on it this morning. So, instead of having Saturday and Sunday off I have Tues and Sunday off this week. Next week will be easier (should be anyway) since I truly am only working 4 days and have a full 4 days off.  I'm looking forward to my new schedule so I won't have to work any overtime. Anyway, so here's the workout I did today:

On another note, my legs and butt are EXTREMELY sore from Monday's leg workout. Like it hurts to even sit down. Yesterday was pretty horrible as far as pain went. I'm hoping that today's workout will have worked out some of that pain. We'll see!

{Rough week}

Today was a rough week for doing what needed to be done. Working 5 days in a row, 1/2 day off for a concert (ok, technically 24 hours but it feels like only 1/2 a day), two night overtime shifts, another 1/2 day off and now back to 7 days in a row. I'm plum tired. The concert got me off schedule with my workouts. I did do a my leg workout yesterday before work and today should have been shoulder and abs. It did not happen however. I feel like I had little time. I made myself wake-up at 1:45 p.m. even though my body did NOT want to. I did lounge around for a little bit and then had dinner with a friend. Now, it's pretty much time for bed so I can start this next work week at 3:45 a.m. Oh well, I've been doing well otherwise and I won't give up. I'll just get back into the swing of things tomorrow morning. Besides, if I do feel like quitting, all I have to do is look in the mirror. *blah*

{I don't wanna...}

Ugh. I seriously do NOT want to workout today. I had the last 2 days off and it wasn't supposed to be like that. :( Two days ago was for a concert. I worked nights the night before and got up with just enough time to get ready for the concert (Chevelle BTW rocks!). Yesterday was crappy because I didn't sleep well AT ALL and had to work a night shift. Blah. PLUS, it's freezing cold AND we got snow last night! Oct 5?! Really, Colorado? *sigh* I will go though but I won't like it. ;)  Where's my motivation?!

Motivation found at Pinterest ;)

{Week 1 down, on to Week 2}

I successfully completed week 1 and began Week 2 today. It was a chest and tri's type of day. I already know I'm going to be incredible sore. It hurt to lift my arm to change the radio station!  It's a good kind of hurt though. I was not really feeling this workout today. Working nights always makes it incredibly hard to WANT to work out, especially since I never get enough sleep. Today I got slightly less than 4 hours and a short nap later before waking up to work out. What made it better though was getting my stuff in from bodybuilding.com:

{Let's start over...}

Yesterday, I began a new workout routine. I'd said in the past I was going to do this but never did. I finally got tired of seeing the fat me in the mirror. Ok, so fluffier me in the mirror. Bla. It's from Jamie Eason's Live Fit workout routine on bodybuilding.com. My weight yesterday was 152. Yesterday's workout began with working chest and triceps. Today was back and biceps. I WILL keep this up. I need to keep my eating habits healthy also.

{I've really quit}

I pretty much just gave up on working out. Once I'm done with this apartment move I AM going to get back into it. I'm going to do the Jamie Eason LiveFit. We'll see how that goes.  I'm even going to attempt the food aspect of it also. I just know I need to get out of this funk.

{It's definitely been down...}

I've slacked SO much on working out it's ridiculous! I really think it's some type of depression because I didn't start slacking off until all that ended with C. I quit working out with him and quit working out. I only go 1-2 times a week  now. I've GOT to get back in it. Not going is making me more depressed but I don't know what to do about it. I find myself too tired to go. I literally stayed in bed all day Wednesday. :(  I did go and get on the elliptical for 40 minutes today. I had to get a little mean with C though so maybe he'll leave me alone now and I can get over it and this stupid little funk I'm in.
