You Can’t Do Push Ups with your eyes shut

January 29, 2013

quote

Last night, I suggested to my husband that we work out in the early AM.
Then, I stayed up late catching up on Vampire Diaries –> I heart that show.
So, when the alarm went off at 6am…
I did not want to workout.
Thank goodness my husband is so darn convincing and cute.
I was grumpy when we started, but there’s nothing like a killer arm circuit to wake you up.
Push ups force you to open your eyes.
After a solid and fast-paced 30 minutes, I was definitely awake.
And very thankful I got my sleepy butt out of bed.
You NEVER regret a workout, ever.
~
Here’s what we did..
50 push ups
10 – 10 second superman’s
3 sets of 20 bicep curls, triceps extensions, downward v outs & rows w/resistance band
30 chair dips
30 inward arm curls

thoughts

Last night wasn’t a good night.
To be honest with y’all, I’ve had nagging, negative thoughts about my foot.
I know, part of me is a bit scared something will go wrong on Friday.
The Dr. might say something bad or the fusion didn’t take…
I know everything is probably fine, but I had a bit of a breakdown last night.
Yes, there were tears…a lot of them.
I had a long day though and I was exhausted to boot, so that didn’t help.
I feel better this am, and only positive thoughts from here on out!

Speaking of being positive…
I have been rocking my BS lately.
I admit, I was a bit lax while guests were here…
I’m back on track now and I’m killing it!

focus

Today will be spent packing, I leave for Houston tomorrow.
Not looking forward to the long journey, by myself, in a cast.
urgh…oh well.
I have a lunch date with some of my favorite girls and tonight is a date night.
Oh la la…

Are you a morning workout person or afternoon?

Any one else a Vampire Diaries fan?

    I always try to convince myself to work out in the morning, but it just doesn’t happen. I’m more of an afternoon/evening worker outer. I know it’s not good to work out at night, but that’s when I have my most motivation. I’ve always been a bit nocturnal/vampirish. ;) To be honest, I haven’t watched Vampire Diaries, but The Lost Boys is one of my all-time favorite movies and I’ve always been obsessed with vampires (however, not the Cullens) so I can’t believe I haven’t jumped on the bandwagon.
    Positive thoughts to you, lady. I have faith you will travel back to Trinidad sans cast!

    I’m love morning workouts! It’s awesome to get it done first thing. I get up at 4:45 so I have time to get a run or Yoglates class in before work. Sending good thoughts your way!! Have a safe trip.

    I’m thinking positive for you too, Corey! Good luck! And thanks for the motivating thoughts this morning. I had to DRAG myself out of bed to get to the gym this AM, but you’re so right, I never, ever regret it once I’m done.

    Thanks for the arm workout. It looks like a winner! Keep up those positive thoughts. No point in worrying about what you can’t change, and plus, everything’s probably good anyway, right? :) Think Happy!
