Back and Biceps for January/February
So I asked what workouts you guys want to see first on Facebook and it looks like back and biceps and legs were the two highest. Since I love posting my legs workouts I think I will start off with the back and bicep workout for a little variety. This is what I will be doing for the next few weeks – I usually change my workouts every couple of weeks. Note: This order was strictly because of convenience due to the traffic at the gym, normally I would put the supersets at the beginning, but doing it this way I was dying by the end. I do back exercises with a weight that I can do 8-10 reps with the last few reps being difficult. For biceps I do 12-15 reps and...
Read MoreGrocery List and Bulk Cooking
So…really quick, here is my leg workout from Saturday and my arm workout from today. Legs: Leg curl, superset with leg extension. 3×12 Inverted leg press, 10 with feet high up on the plate, 10 with feet together. 3x Plie squat, superset with dead lifts. 3×12 Standing calves. 3×12 Seated calves 3×12 Then I did my grocery shopping because I didn’t go on Sunday like I normally do. Also the Fatkid and I just realized that our bachelor/bachelorette parties are less than 3 months (mine) and just over three months (his) away – HOLY #$%$. That means the wedding is just over 4 months away so we need to kick it in gear after the holidays. For...
Read MoreWhat I Ate Wednesday with Sweet and Sour Chicken
So my eats have been all over the place lately, mostly because I am getting back into a regular routine after finishing finals. That’s right, I AM DONE WITH LAW SCHOOL FINALS!! I don’t have any finals for my classes next semester and I am so excited that my next test I take will be the Bar exam. Now I am just going to work and get ready for all the fun wedding events coming up I got my dress on Monday and I am going to have my first fitting next month. And the bridal shower is in exactly one month so I am going to up my cardio and yoga and really clean up my food. I had quite a few indulgences during finals. That being said, here are some of my eats...
Read Moreweekend workouts
So my weekend was full of school stuff (no Fatkid ) and lots of gym time I did back and bis on Friday (but didn’t right it down – I promise I will next time!); legs on Saturday and Shoulders/Tris and Abs today. I also did cardio every day and it is taking some getting used to. I have been pretty much Paleo since Thursday now although I did add in some carbs yesterday for legs – I had oatmeal post workout and a brown rice, bean and cheese burrito later in the day – SO GOOD! But I haven’t been having headaches or any extra fatigue since cutting out grains so I’m pretty happy with it so far. I am doing my bulk cooking tomorrow night...
Read Morei’m back!! and sleeping in my clothes..
Well, I am happy to say that this morning I finally felt like myself again in the gym. I have been in a major rut lately between being sick (literally I had a sinus infection for about a month), summer school, wedding stuff, work, etc. I have been having a really hard time getting into and enjoying my workouts and have kind of just been going through the motions. Yesterday was an incredibly long day – I left my house at 7am and didn’t leave work until 9pm. I went home, showered and put on my gym clothes. To make sure I got up this morning (at 5am) I tried this whole, sleeping in your clothes thing. It wasn’t as uncomfortable as I thought it would be...
Read Morekiller arms and a pain in my neck
So I did my arm workout today despite waking up with a killer kink in my neck. First I did some yoga using iTrain (more on that later this week). 21s Cable (with rope) Push Down (superset w/) Cable Curl Single Arm Tricep Pull Down (reverse grip) (superset w/) Reverse Grip Curls Tricep Kickbacks (superset w/) Preacher Curls Double Tricep Pull Down (reverse grip) (superset w/) Hammer Curl with Twist I KILLED my arms with the supersets and cannot believe how much I missed workouts like this. Unfortunately my neck got worse and I went to the chiropractor before we went to look at more venues. My mom came up from Tucson and she accompanied me and the Fatkid to look at...
Read Moresummer workout plan
So I promised you guys I would share my plan with you and I can’t lie – I didn’t make one last weekend because I had a little too much fun at a bridal expo with one of my friends Work has been busy lately and I have to leave my house at 7:15am to get there by 8:00am so that means I literally can only work out for 30 minutes in the AM because my gym opens at 5:30. Some of these I will just have to do after work. I think this is going to be my plan for the next few weeks – you’ll notice I write the upper body ones out so that I can superset if I want (often I will if I’m running short on time). Sunday: Bis/Tris cardio or plyos 3...
Read Morenew workout – arms and legs
So I am loving my new workout and I have to say I killed arms yesterday. I was so glad my biceps were sore today Today I did legs and abs and although the workout takes a while it felt good to be lifting heavy on my legs again and really pushing myself. I am a teeny bit bummed because I couldn’t do my wide squats at the beginning and they were actually my LAST thing due to gym traffic. That meant I was taxed and couldn’t go up in weight which I really wanted to do, but I still got 155 (110+45lb bar) so I’m not too upset Also, FitFluential is starting a new thing called #PROOF on Twitter where you tweet or post pics about your workout for the day....

Read Morepresents from everywhere! (LiveFit 72/73/74)
Unfortunately I won’t be back for a WIAW for a few more weeks – probably the last week of March – mostly because my eats are boring and also because I keep forgetting to takes pics of it – oops!
