Good evening everyone! I hope you are doing well. I am! Work has been stressful and busy. I am thankful I have the gym to de-stress. The only issue is, my knee has been hurting me still 😩.

New Training Plan Week 3 and 4

Good evening everyone! I am so sorry for the delay! I knew it would be, but I had originally planned on getting a post out just a day late! As it turns out, this week turned out super busy, so I only got the chance today. Anyways, my last two weeks have been busy, but really good and tons of fun. My knee has been hurting me, so I have been easy on the running and doing a lot more on the Arctrainer and just walking on inclines. It's really hard for me because I love running. I finally did this weekend (knee was hurting after), but during it was alright (still hurt but manageable). During the holiday weekend, I was in New Orleans and ate entirely too much 😅. It was worth it! Here are my past two weeks in review: Monday 11/4/19: Rest Tuesday 11/5/19:  Cardio and  Upper Body (Triceps, Shoulders, and Chest) Upper Body (Triceps, Chest, Shoulders) 4 Sets, 15 Reps: Tricep Kickbacks: 15lb Dumbbells  Tricep Pressdowns: 30lb Dumbbell Lateral Raise: 10lb Dumbbells Front Dumb

Happy Halloween and New Training Week 2!

Good evening everyone! I am going to be completely honest wth you...I ate terrible this week 😞. I went to an Indian Restaurant lunch buffet, had a halloween party at work, and had m family over for a Halloween Family get together. I have my work cut out for me this week because of it. Oh well. I enjoyed food and all the sugar before starting the no added sugar! I am off to a good start with that! I will discuss it more later! For now, here is my week in review with my new training plan (actually doing the full week). Monday 10/28/19: Rest Tuesday 10/29/19: Cardio, OrangeTheory, and Upper Body (Triceps, Shoulders, and Chest) Cardio For cardio today, I ran 5.5 miles on the treadmill.

Upper Body (Triceps, Chest, Shoulders) 4 Sets, 15 Reps: Tricep Kickbacks: 10lb Dumbbells  Tricep Pressdowns: 30lb Dumbbell Lateral Raise: 10lb Dumbbells Fro
