A&P Presentation

Man, I just finished my presentation for A&P. After 3.5 hours. However, I think it's pretty awesome. There's a lot of information and the really AWESOME thing is I can tweak this a little and use it for my Microbiology class! Woohoo! So most of the work is done and hopefully I get some good feedback! Now I've just gotta finish up the written portion of it and then work on my article for Microbiology that's due March 9 (I'd rather get head start so I'm not bustin' butt the weekend before!).

1st Day ... Again

Since I was naughty last week, I decided to start over. Consequently, today was my first day (again). I did upper body and I'm hurting a little. It'll be intersting to see how I fare tomorrow. And I'm also watching what goes in my pie hole so hopefully I can get a handle on that as well! So far, so good. For anyone wondering, I'm back on track and this time will stay that way! Wish me well (again) because this is the last mulligan I'm taking (for this, anyway!).

Week 3

I'm so so so so so naughty. Did I mention I was naughty?? I haven't done ANY workouts this week! It's full of excuses so I can fill you in if you'd like, even though they might be kinda lame. Sorry for disappointing everyone. I wll definitely work harder at going to the gym every day. Now I think I'll go ground myself or sit in time-out for a little bit ...

Start of the 2nd week

So, I'm off to a great start this week. I did my lower body workout and definitely felt that! However, I was bad and didn't do my cardio on Saturday (it's Shawn's fault! lol) so I'll have to try and make it up somehow. Maybe. Cardio's kinda been kickin' my butt. I know, though, that the more I do it, the easier it gets, right? I hope so ... Now I'm back on track and the workouts seem to be a little easier. I think next week I will incorporate free weights. *sigh* We'll see!

1st Friday

The first work-out week is almost over, just one more cardio day and I have a day of rest. I think this is the sorest week I've EVER had. Today I worked my upper body and that wasn't as bad. The chest fly was a little hard since I was still kinda sore from the upper body workout from Monday (as we all know). After the workout, though, I came home and took some strong ibuprofen, ate a peanut butter/honey roll-up and drank some milk. My arms are feeling okay right now, a little sore perhaps, but tomorrow is a different story. I wonder how the others in my group are doing?? I know Shawn is in pain (hang in there!).

Here's to one more day of painful insanity, a day of rest and it starts all over again ...

Day 4

I wonder if I'll remember the day # as I continue tis journey ... ? So yesterday I worked my lower body. What I discovered is that I'm not as limber as I was say, last year! As I was working out, I was thinking, 'Man this isn't too bad! It's kinda easy!' Knowing that, today I am discovering that the workout was NOT as easy as I originally thought. My adductor muscles (and yes, I do know where those are) protest every time I walk (and when don't I?!?!). Fortunately, it's not as bad as when I did the upper body workout - I'm still getting over the pain from that one and I'll be doing upper body tomorrow (ouch). I had to take some ibuprofren last night and go to bed at a decent hour. I wonder what kind of condition I'll be in on Saturday?? I can see it now ... ouch ouch ouch ouch (lol). On a good note, Dana and Shawn have been doing well on their ends. I know it's inconvenient sometime, but I really appreciate them doing their own program thingy with me! Thanks guys! And now, off to bed ... after some milk and maybe a cookie or two!

Day 2

Alright. It's day 2 (of umpteen million it seems) of my workout regimen. Can I just say ... OUCH! I can hear my mucles SCREAMING at me for actually making them work. Then to top that off, I did some cardio. My legs now understand why my upper body was so vocal and they're joining in on it too. On a side note though, I can distinguish what muscles are unhappy with me by name (thanks to my A&P class!!). I can't wait till Friday when the upper body will scream at me again, cuz apparently I won't learn today's lesson! I'm assured it gets better so I'll continue on. I've also got Shawn working with me (thanks sweetie!) so I'm not the only one in pain. I'm not sure about Dana, so hopefully it's not too bad for her!

Until tomorrow's daily dose of whine ...

1st Day

Okay, I knew the first day would be hard and it lived up to and beyond my expectations. I am way sore right now. I feel like I can't use my arms at all so it's a miracle I'm able to type right now! However, the first day is over and done with. Phew! Tomorrow is cardio and that'll just about kill me. I think I'll be a step up from dead. On an up side though, it can only get better right? And, I've even got Shawn (the boyfriend) involved. He's going to do some weight lifing after Heroes tonight! Thanks sweetie! Now it's Dana's turn to get involved ;-) hehe j/k Dana!!

And as I'm typing this, children are causing discontent with each other. Off to seperate them ...

Of this week, 1 out of 6 exercise days down!
