I let myself sleep in this morning after not sleeping enough the night before and also not feeling so great. And by "sleep in" I mean I woke up around 8:30 and laid in bed till 9...my body likes to just get up and at it in the morning I guess.
Of course the first thing I needed was a big mug of delicious coffee. I drank my coffee and worked on a little homework (aka Facebook....) for a few hours, ate breakfast, and then walked to the gym for an intense workout.
I started off with an interval run from one of my favorite fitness websites, toneitup.com. They have so many awesome workouts and recipes on there so go check it out! The routine got me to about 2.5 miles and I did a few sprint/jog intervals to complete 3 miles. I was sweating...and it had only been about 30 minutes!
I then headed up to the track, grabbed a medicine ball, and completed these circuit routines.
Routine #1:
2 laps around the track
3 minutes of various abs
2 laps around the track
2 minutes of medicine ball squats
2 laps around the track
30 lunges + 20 pulse lunges with medicine ball, each leg
20 glute lifts + 20 fire hydrants + 40 glute pulses, each leg
2 laps around the track
Routine #2:
lat pull down machine - 4x15, various weight
one sprinted lap around the track
4x20 chest presses
one sprinted lap around the track
1 minute of ab leg lifts
one lap walking around the track
Routine #3:
2x30 Russian twists
10 curtsy squats + 10 pulses, each leg
20 plie squats + 20 pulses
30 second forearm plank
30 second extended plank
30 second ab stretch
20 crunches
20 reverse crunches
10 tricep pushups, 10 tricpe dips, 10 tricep pushups
leg press machine, 4x15, various weight
WHOOOOO. I was dead after that. The whole workout took about an hour and a half, which I know is a little long, but I didn't have too much else to do and needed a hardcore workout to reset myself. Using my polar watch heart rate monitor, I burned 740 calories...WOWZA. Don't know about ya'll but workouts like that make me feel like I can do anything.
I went back to my dorm, showered, and snacked on some carrots/broccoli/tomatoes/crackers with hummus and made some green tea to drink with it.
After I finished getting dressed, I made my way over to my fav place ever.... Trader Joe's! It honestly concerns me how happy I get when I go there. I was in need of a few groceries and something to have for lunch as well.
As I was browsing the aisles, I stumbled across a container of dark chocolate edamame, umm WHAT?!
Of course I had to buy them and there were so worth it. Perfectly salty, crunchy, and sweet.
I returned to my dorm and enjoyed a late lunch of half a can of whole grain pasta + veggie + chicken soup and an amazing Trader Joe's salad. It had lettuce, arugala, grilled chicken, and a quinoa & couscous blend.
Now off to study my life away for the 5 tests I have next week....#nextweekisdeadweek #lolnotforme
Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful Saturday!
