I think they possibly put crack into my latte this morning.  I was WIRED all morning.  Still didn’t do a whole lot, but I definitely had a frazzled crazy look in my eyes all morning.

Too bad that hyperactivity didn’t keep up for the gym.  I don’t know what happened, but I hit a wall.  I lifted at the beginning of my workout.

Workout

Upper body
Bench Press
Arnold’s
Bicep Curls
Tricep Kickbacks
Hammer Curls
Seated Rows on the machine (50lbs)
Tricep Dips on the machine (weight set at 60lbs)

I did at least 2 sets (sometimes 3) of each with 10 reps each.  I did 40lbs total for the bench press and 30lbs total for the other ones.

Lower Body
I used the Kinesis cable machine for the first time.  Pretty cool and I think I’ll use it more often.

Front lunges (2 sets each leg)
Squats (3 sets)
Leg Press (on the machine–130lbs)

Wow…I didn’t do a whole lot of lower body.  Hrmph.

Cardio
This is where the wall was hit.  Hard.  I started on the treadmill.  Did my 5 minutes at incline 8.0 and mph at 3.8 then did 5 minutes at 0 incline 5.3mph.  Then I went back to the incline and made it 3 minutes and 38 seconds and my hamstring on my bad leg started hurting.  I made it maybe 15 more seconds before I knew i must stop immediately.  GRR.

I thought about leaving, but I wouldn’t let myself, so I went over to the bike.  Rode at about 18mph.  I hit about 6 minutes and I thought about leaving, but no. I hit another wall at 13 minutes and thought about leaving, but i told myself that I could quit at 16 minutes because that would be 30 minutes total of cardio.  And then the next time I looked down it was over 19 minutes, so I just kept going until 26 minutes to get myself 40 minutes of cardio.  I feel like I totally accomplished something by talking myself through that and making it through the whole cardio time I had planned.

S-l-o-w-l-y made it back to work to happily find an email from HR saying we can leave at 3.  Gleee. I can get hair done and cupcakes made before I need to leave tonight to meet up with Missy via metro.

Lunch
I started with an arugula salad with 1 slice of chopped red onions, about 1T of chopped avocado, a few blueberries, 1/2 stalk of celery and about 6 grape tomatoes.  Topped it off with a little Ken’s Light Blue Cheese dressing.  The red onions were a bit strong with the already bitter arugula.  I probably could have done without those.

Then I had half an Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted wheat bun with 1T of natural PB and 1T of all natural plum jelly.  I had toasted the bun this morning (grrr, we don’t have a toaster at work!) and put the sandwich together.  I microwaved it for about 15 seconds before I ate it and that softened everything right back up.

And the standard Kozy Shack No sugar added tapioca (didn’t see a need for a photo).

Got another 19 minutes at work and then I am heading to the store for cupcake ingredients.  On the hunt at some of the blogs out there for a ‘healthy’ cupcake recipe.  I really should go pick up my pampered chef order but I don’t think I’ll have time to do that, bake, dye hair and get ready in time to meet Missy.  And when you are aiming to meet someone who is catching a metro train at a different station and get on it when it comes through your station, you probably shouldn’t be late. (i’m habitually late)

And no diet soda today.  Go me!
