Don't Get Too Comfy...

Well, seems the Lord is keeping me on my toes about being appreciative. Just as I started to feel real comfortable in my routine at the gym, I had to miss working out with Adam on Friday and he left me a routine of things I could do on my own for whenever I was able to make it in.

My power has been out since Wednesday night and it is now Saturday afternoon...we just got back into our house. My car is stuck in the garage...in the mix of things the door got broken and so I have been without a car as well. I won't be getting that situation fixed until Monday sometime. We learn a lot about ourselves in these times...and usually, just as in this case, it's not so pretty. Thankfully I have a wonderful best friend who let's me stay there when this situation pops up, and I have a wonderful trainer who has learned, very quickly, the best ways to keep me calm.

I was really impressed with my routine that Adam made for me, when I got to the gym to pick it up. The only thing I needed a spotter for is Incline, 105 lbs, 12, 10, 8, 9. The rest I did on my own.

Smith Flies - 60 lbs, pyramid to 7, plus 7 more...just couldn't get that 8th one.
Smith Bench - 200 lbs, pyramid to 7.
Dumbbell Bicep Curls - 15 lbs, pyramid to 11...I stopped at 11 because I could feel myself pulling my arm up with my shoulder, instead of my bicep.
Chin-Ups - pyramid to 6, plus 6 more...again, couldn't get that 7th.
6 Wrist Curls, and 2 sets of 30 Decline Abs.

Not bad...my numbers weren't what I thought they would be...but I forgot my strap to use on the Incline, and my spotter wasn't the best. I don't know her, and she kept grabbing for the bar, it seemed like every rep, so it made me a bit nervous. I also forgot my gloves. But, I'm really not disappointed about it all. I feel pretty good...it was my first full workout without someone with me...ever...even from back when I had Brent. So, it wasn't bad. My Instruction Sheet under my routine said "Bottom Line....DONT GET FRUSTRATED!". So...I didn't. I follow instructions very well. lol. I just closed my eyes and told myself to not think, just push the weight...Adam's famous line.
