Things were going so well. It's been another one of those "life gets in the way" weeks. I was inspired by my workouts with my BFF Afae so I changed things up in the gym. I'm doing more of a circuit thing with spurts of cardio in between weights and I'm loving it! It was good ... for a couple days. Then I hurt my back and had to take a couple days off. Crap! But that's not why I didn't get on the scale. I didn't weigh in because it's that time of the month. I know. Yuck. So not only do us women have to deal with the bloating, water retention, and cramps ... we also see the number on the scale go up a few pounds. And instead of adding fuel to my PMS fire ... I decided not to. (Okay I actually got on the scale but I'm not counting this week ... I was 140 ... so ... BLAH to that!)
I stayed away from weights since Wednesday .. took 2 full rest days ... and continued with cardio on Friday. I hope to be back to circuits by Tuesday. I must make sure my back is better before going at it again. At 40+, the recovery is just not like it used to be. So instead of "playing through the pain" I'd rather adjust my workout until my back is healed. Remember, I took my cape off a while ago ... no need to be superwoman.
Workouts: Friday - 45 minutes on Bronson the Bike, Saturday - 30 minutes Sprint intervals on Tyson the Treadmill, Sunday - mixed it up for 45 minutes - Sonny the Spin Bike, Sanchez the Skipping Rope, Ted the Treadmill, and Travis the Track (did some explosive sprints!!) Playing with all those boys makes me tired ... ;)
