Jogging wasn't fun today, but I SURVIVED!! Started wk 4 of C25K. Wasn't sure if I could do it. Kept trying to talk myself out of it while I was going. And somewhere near the end of my 1st 5 min interval it dawned on me, "You've already jogged for 5 mins @ 4mph. You were doing intervals for 75 mins doing that over a month ago." So yeah, my genius is showing. It still wasn't the joy of my life to be doing it, but I did. And at the end, after I walked for 2 mins, I jogged the last minute & a half of my workout. I'm curious to know just how long I can jog before absolute failure occurs in my legs.
I didn't workout yesterday do to a really busy & shitty day! I was so exhausted & having drank 32oz of brew coffee (never had more than 16oz before today & only recently started drinking it), I was SO not feeling well. So I ended up having to do both upper & lower body workouts today. YAY!!!
Bench Press: 3 sets/12 reps w/ 40/45/50lbs
Bent Over Barbell Row: 3 sets/12 reps w/ 50lbs
Dumbbell Shoulder Press: 3 sets/12 reps w/ 15lbs
Skull Crusher: 2 sets/12 reps w/ 25lbs & 1 set/8 reps w/ 30lbs
Barbell Curl: 2 sets/12 reps w/ 35lbs & 1 set/12 reps w/ 40lbs
Barbell Squat: 3 sets/12 reps w/ 35lbs
Stiff-Legged Deadlifts: 3 sets/12 reps w/ 45lbs
Leg Extension: 3 sets/12 reps w/ 50lbs
Lying Leg Curl: 3 sets/12 reps w/ 50lbs
Standing Calf Raises: 3 sets/12 reps w/ 45lbs
Exercise Ball Crunches: 3 sets/15 reps w/ 10lbs
I've stepped up the actual poundage I've been using. Needless today I experience failure . . . and not in the best situation. I was doing Skull Crushers & on the 8th rep of my final set my arms gave out completely when I was trying to push the barbell up. Thankfully it didn't really land on me as my hands kept it from hitting me in the chest. I had to wait a couple of mins before I could wiggle my hands out to the sides of the barbell & do a press up to get the barbell back in place. I did complete that last one, but just barely. My sister was not happy to hear about that. So I'll definitely have to be careful & on that exercise I won't be increasing the weights next week.
I'm super sore & tired now. I have an exam to take in the morning for a county "office specialist" postion I applied for last month. I've taken this test before & scored in the top 5 (it's not difficult at all). I'm trying not to get my hopes up though b/c I don't know the hours/days & it's full-time. I want it, but I'm in school also. That's why I didn't get the last job 4 years ago. So we'll see if I get to take a 2 hr test (didn't take me that long before) for nothing.
Alright, time to send off some recipes & hop in the shower. Hope everyone is doing well = )

Ok.. good job on the running.. and are you doing weights alone? Or are you in a gym where if you got in real trouble someone could help you? Cause if you are doing this alone in your basement.. I am officially upset with you.. go and get dumbbells if you are at home alone.. we have dumbbells up to 65 lbs each or 75 I am not sure cause I never go that high.. but you need to be careful. I have a friend who was a paramedic and he has told me horror stories of people at they gym literally knocking off the top of their head with a bar bell.. so be carful. use a spotter or dumbbells!!

Ceebee, you are spot on for being upset w/ me! I'm lifting weights alone in my garage. Usually there's another adult in the house that would be able to hear me if I screamed, but last night it was me & my 11 yr old nephew. He probably would have been able to help somewhat but if it had been a really bad situation he wouldn't have. I know very well the dangers of weight lifting. I know a guy who crushed his chest having a barbell fall on him. I was quite worried about this when I started. W/ all the exercises I'm doing, Skull Crusher is the only one that I have to be super super careful doing. Even if I used dumbbells which would be scarier to me b/c I've been known to freely drop dumbbells. I told my sister I would make sure that I'm only doing my weights when there's another adult around & for that exercise & a few others I'll pull someone out into the garage w/ me. No point in getting fit if I kill myself in the process! = )

Good luck on the job and be more careful with the weights!

Definately good luck on the job and to echo what Shia try to get someone to spot for you if possible. That could of been a dangerous situation.

Yes I will definitely be more careful w/ the weights. If having a spotter around everytime I worked out was possible I would, but it's not. Plus when someone is around they really don't want to do it. If all goes well w/ getting things settled for school, I'll be back in a gym on the 23rd. As for the job, the exam was a waste of time. Stupid easy! Why the county can't have that timed online is beyond me! That & they don't post the hours/days for the job w/ the job description. It's a M-F 9-5 position, so I really wasted my time b/c I can't work those hours. So I gave up vitally needed sleep for another dead end. If getting out of this town/county were a possiblity at the moment, then I certainly would.

That's fantastic! I do have to reprimand you about the weight lifting without a spotter...NEVER a good idea! As Ceebee said, dumbbells are a much better choice if you're weight lifting alone. Keep it up, you're doing great!

You're doing great girl! I fizzled out after the first day of weight training last week! I need to get back on it. I'm trying to be like you! Go girl.
