My apologies

I am so sorry I did not update last week. I was not home any night last week and so this did not even cross my mind until Thursday as I landed in Atlanta--weird when you remember things. I had not taken my computer with me on this trip since I thought that the hotel was going to charge me an arm and a leg for Internet access, so I am very sorry there is no update from last week.

From what I remember it was another boot camp, but I did pretty well (held up my planks!!!!) and was able to go to a meeting afterwords--tonight is not the same story!!

I got to the gym and did 10 minutes on the bike and then my walking weighted lunges. Then Erin had me sit on the weight bench and I actually did a weight bar. There was no weight on it, but it was heavy for shoulder presses, I think. After that I had a big rubber-band put around my legs and I walked sideways down and back. Then the shoulder presses again.

Then we did the squat machine and wall squats (for 30 sec). Then I laid down and did chest presses with a bar (I did 16 and then she had me do 5 more!!!) Back to the squat machine, wall squats (did not make the whole 30 without a stand up this time) and then the chest presses again. By now my arms are burning!!!!!

I then did holding lunges for 30 seconds on each side--burn, burn!!! Then it was flies (at 12.5 pounds in each hand) and then back to the lunges and then repeat the flies--OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Then Erin said all we have left is abs--it is only pain. I could barely walk!!! I made it on the ball and did front sit ups, left side, and right side--rest--Repeat.

I was in pain. I had thought to go to the grocery store after the workout tonight, but that did not get done. I barely made it home where I almost collapsed. As I write this my arms and legs are hurting.

I will try and do some of this over the week, but I know I can't do it all without Erin there to spot me (I almost dropped the bar a couple of times).

This was the first week I managed to do at least one wall squat without standing during--working on getting two in a workout like I am doing with the planks.

I can definitely tell I am getting stronger!!!!!

Have a great week everyone.
