Monday’s Mess Up

Happy Monday! I’m going to share with you the workout that I did this morning but please don’t take it as advice. I have found that I messed up and I’ll be reaping the consequences for the next couple of days, I’m sure.

Before I get into how I messed up, let me tell you that I didn’t even want to work out today. I actually just went there out of habit. It’s Monday morning, and going to the gym is what I have been doing after school drop off, so I just went there! Proud of not following my feeling! Instead, I was following the routine!

So, how did I mess up? Well, apparently you want to start out lighter with bicep curls and I went all out. I started at 40lbs and my muscles are already swollen and sorry about it. My husband said afterward that you actually want to start out lighter than you think with curls. Oof. I’m sure the next couple of days are going to be sore, too. Oh well. Maybe next time I’ll go lighter.

Here’s my full workout from the morning:

Leg extension 25 lbs (3x10) 

Leg curl 30 lbs (3x10)

Back extension 55 lbs (3x10)

Seated leg press 50 lbs (3x10) 

Hip Abduction 40 lbs (3x15)

Hip Adduction 40 lbs (3x15)

Head pulls 25 lbs (3x10)

Tricep Pulls 20 lbs (3x10)

Seated rows 40 lbs (3x10)

Chest Press 40 lbs (3x10)

Seated Cable Lean 40 lbs (3x10)

It took an hour to complete, and I didn’t end up doing any cardio afterward. It was cold and rainy and I was just ready to get home and eat some breakfast. For breakfast, I made myself an egg and hash brown bowl with cottage cheese. 

 

I think the workout made me hungry because I was still wanting more food after that so I had a yogurt with granola.

Morning is almost over now, and I’ve got a lot of laundry to catch up on before school the pick-up run begins. I’ll check back in again, soon!
