Of Planks and Monsoons

Day 32

I braved a monsoon in order to get to the YMCA tonight. I was soaking wet by the time I made it from the parking lot to the gym. I might as well have jumped in a lake before going in. It was frustrating. I was thoroughly disgusted as I entered the locker room. This probably made for a better workout.

As a rule, I generally dislike leg workouts. I don't care for squats and, more often than not, I flat out refuse to do lunges. You would think that would make it difficult to come up with a solid leg workout. I think that's rubbish...pure poppycock... Tonight, my legs would definitely beg to differ. I may not be able to walk tomorrow... We also did ab work tonight. I'm pretty sure this was the hubs least favorite part of the workout.  We are naturally competitive and decided to see which of us could hold a plank for 30 seconds (after we'd done two sets at 10 seconds each. Actually, I think he did a 3rd for 15 seconds). I've never held a plank for 30 seconds straight. I thought I was gonna die. But, I made it. That little punk held on for 3 more seconds just to spite me. I think he could've had a bone sticking out of his arm and he still wouldn't have let me win. Ahh marriage. It's bliss. I'm tellin ya. :)
 
I'm not enjoying the whole Weight Watchers counting points thing. I am finding that I prefer the clean eating element that I adhered to before. I really can't be trusted with the processed junk. I also need to eat more throughout the day. I was ravenous after my workout. I snacked more than I should have after dinner as a result. It didn't ruin my day food wise. But, I can do better.

I give myself an A for Exercise and a C for food. That averages out to a B in my book.

Cheers!
