I haven’t been running still to abide by my PT’s orders and I feel a little grumpy. It probably doesn’t help that I haven’t been eating the healthiest…proof is the fried clam platter I had for dinner last night! I have to get back on track so I can start to feel better. One way I was distracting myself from the fact that I’m not running is to get together workouts that I like to do or want to do and collect them on a Workout Page! I am going to hit the gym tomorrow because I desperately need to get on Tough Mudder shape! If you have any good workouts you like, please share!
I didn’t plan on doing strength today because I had a PT appointment this morning. I got there a little early so I decided to sit by the common and enjoy some of the greenery. I sometimes wish my office had an outside office too so I could enjoy the nice weather and work. It’s supposed to rain today but it was nice when I was out there!
3×15 leg lifts per leg with 1 lb. weight on my ankle
3×15 clamshells per leg with resistance band
1×15 bridging leg lifts
4 directions of leg pulls with a resistance band
2×15 and 1×5 (whew couldn’t do the last 10) hamstring curls with exercise ball
2×10 single leg presses
To cheer me up from the running blues and to try to continue with some tactics for saving money, I decided to give the Pioneer Woman’s iced coffee a try! I love getting an iced coffee in the morning and if I can make it, that will help me save some moolah! I made the cold brewed iced coffee last night and strained it this morning before PT. So-what’s the verdict?
AMAZING! It is kind of a pain to strain the coffee with the cheese cloth but the end result is delicious! The flavor definitely is different than a regular batch of coffee, and I LIKE IT! For the next batch, I might use a french press as my friend suggested. This will be a lot easier than using a cheese cloth!
Do you get grumpy of you eat too much junk food?
I need some more core/ab workouts…what are your faves?

Planks are good, and plank variations like tapping your toes out to the side or lifting yourself from forearm to straight arm then back down again one side at a time. Another one is doing a plank with arms straight and a weight in each hand (I do 5#) then moving to a side plank – lifting your arm & weight straight up in the air, bringing it back down to a regular plank, then doing the same on the other side, then repeating til it hurts. haha.
Yay coffee! Haha we are the same…I drink mine out of that cup too
