Good Morning, Happy Sunday!! Hope everyone is having a stellar weekend! I have enjoyed mine and still enjoying… We had a change of plans yesterday. The best part about these R&R days is that you can kind of go with the flow and see how they unfold. We had an awesome day, honestly, not doing too much… Time got away and we just went with the flow not having any specific plans! I woke up early, as always but then guess what, went back to bed and we slept in! Yes slept in… Got up and roaring to go (round 2 for me) at 8:30– wowsers, yes, that is sleeping in! 😉 We enjoyed a Saturday of Sleeping in. It was a weird day yesterday, weather wise, so we decided to put together an awesome workout and head to the gym, after all, after walking Bruno for about 2 miles. We took our time and had the best workout. Here is the
breakdown
200 jump ropes and stretching for the warm up
10 reps each
3 sets of squats with 25# plate
3 sets of squats with 45# bar
(remember when I do free squats, always keeping my core tight and focusing on form)
4 sets of body weight squats, holding onto a pole for 25 reps each
3 sets of butt blasters-10 on each side
4 sets and 15 reps of the following:
Lying hamstring curls–40#
Leg extensions—30#
Followed by the conclsuion:
5 rounds of….
5 toes to bar (hanging from a bar and bringing your toes to touch the bar)
10 lunges with a 35# ez-bar (one on each side) and then shoulder press
15 box jumps
repeat 5x, we were SPENT!
From our awesome workout, we went to the Farmers Market and walked around for about 2 hours. Yesterdays farmers market was in Little Italy, which is our favorite part of town and always a fun Farmers Market. I saw the Biggest Artichokes I have ever seen… check these out! Have you ever seen anything like them? I had to take a picture, they were That BIG!
After walking around and enjoying people watching, we headed back home and guess what, we were so tired that we laid down with our books and passed out for another 1.5 hours or so! When we woke up we headed out for another evening walk before calling it a night in with good conversation and dinner! We had grilled artichokes with Orange Roughy and an Octopus Salad that we picked up in Little Italy. The day unfolded different than we thought but we went with it and enjoyed just going with the flow. We definitely got in some great rest and well needed after our workout. Hope everyone enjoyed their Saturday!
Moving onto another day. It looks like it is clear today and going to start raining on Wednesday so I am going to enjoy the dryness before the rain comes, again!
until later…
hugs
