B workout and body fat!

Wow!  Yesterday's B workout totally kicked my tooshola.  My back and booty are so super sore today, but I am really glad--I was worrying that I wasn't working as hard on my B workouts as I have been on my A workouts.  Yesterday really helped knock that idea out the window.

WTF evaporated

Yesterday's freak out was either the result of reading the scale without my glasses, or my body just dropped six pounds overnight.  Today, I stepped on the scale and saw 213.8...exactly six pounds down from yesterday.  Three's and nine's look kind of similar, huh?  3....9...

Anyway.  I'm POSITIVE I saw 219 yesterday, which means maybe all the peeing I did yesterday was a side effect of dumping extra water weight.

Erik has gone to pick up a deliciously modified version of one of our favorite take-outs...a cafe rio salad with double portions of shredded roast beef, no rice, and double beans.  Extras on all the veggies, topped off with cilantro-lime vinaigrette.  These things are huge, like pie plate filled to overflowing huge, so we are going to go splitsies on it.  Curiosity also got the best of me, so I had half of one of the bison hot dogs I bought at the store.  They are yummy!  I like that they are uncured and nitrate free.

Going to do my B workout in a few hours.  Go hard or go home.

And an extra WTF?

So I weighed myself today against my better judgement, and since starting New Rules I have packed on 10 lbs in under three weeks.  Seriously?  What is this crap?  Is this just typical water-weight gain from intracellular water retention in my muskols?  Like, I'm freaking out.

Woops on the "more tomorrow" bit

So, I meant to post this yesterday but I didn't.

The level of my soreness isn't as bad as it was when I first started.  I wonder if this means I'm still not pushing hard enough (I felt totally whomped after my workout, in a good way) or is my body adjusting already?

Le sigh.

But I am so tired.
Okay, take a nap...but zen fire zee missile!

Finished my third A workout today.  More tomorrow...

/snore.

Stupid holiday.

So, I didn't realize that my apartment gym would be closed Friday and Saturday for some stupid state holiday.  They opened the pool, but they couldn't open the gym.  Dummbb.  I did my B workout anyway, as much of it as I could at least, and was rewarded with sore butt cheeks for the remainder of the weekend.

I'm a little pissed because I had gone and set all these great goals for myself.  I did sweat out two full sets of lunges though!  I did my crunches, I did my shoulder dumbbell presses...  I did NOT get to do my deadlifts or my wide grip lat pull downs.  Oh well.

This week my reps reduce from 15 to 12.  I stupidly didn't think about this at all when I was setting goals for my A workout last week, so I think I need to do a little modifying.

• Let's try starting squats at 75 lbs. 
• I still want to do 45° push up variation, and maybe next week I'll try 30°.
• Let's up seated row weight load to 50 lbs.
• I want to hold at least a 5 lbs dumbbell in each hand while doing my step ups.
• Prone jack knife increases to 10 reps, so I will just keep working on those.
