Penny's Training Jounal

[BubsNBean]

I love that you all agree. I don't feel guilty about not going to the gym on vacation. I don't think that it means that I'm less dedicated than someone who does. My body could probably use the rest anyway. My muscles aren't going to fall of and Im not going to blow up because I miss two weeks. Chances are I will gain 5 lbs in water weight that I will drop when I return. No biggie.

B-I've said for the last couple of weeks that I dont plan on lifting more than a fork and a cocktail

Ugh, I have so long to wait!!! Is it August yet?!

We're kinda nutz, so we often stop at a CF Gym on vacations when it's just Gen and I. Mostly to meet the people and get the locals ideas of what to do, etc


Thankfully we didn't on the Moab trip as we had plenty of exercise keeping up with the teenagers.


I have no guilt about not working out on vaca. If my stress levels are up and I feel like I need a workout, then I am not successfully vacationing and I need to adjust fire. Take that as you may.

Mhm

What else do you do on vacation?

[Big_Sky_Guy]

What else do you do on vacation?

Not much.

Hell, we pulled over at a rest area with the camper after the race the other weekend. We'd had company during the nights, so that was our first opportunity to christen the camper. We're pretty much hopelessly not romantic.

How cute that you cared if you had visitors

[Big_Sky_Guy]

You know that's not my doing. I just know which side of the bread to butter. Both.

We played polite for friends, but sure as hell didn't care who pulled up next to us at the rest area. LOL

Tuesday 5/20/14: Legs

High Box Squats (above parallel)

Squat Machine
BWx8
50x8x2

Hack Squats
50x8x2

Decline Leg Press
90x10
140x10x2

Today was my first attempt to squat anything more than bodyweight. I took me almost a minute under the bar to convince myself to decend. I. Was. Hesitant. I dont want to be back at square one. I never hit parallel on the box squats and was pain free. I tried to do some high touch-n-go squats. I started to feel a little pain during those so I stopped after a few. Maybe the speed is where the pain comes in?

Everything else I did was parallel at least and pain free. It will be a while before I squat parallel or lower but it's a start.

[BubsNBean]

Yay for pain free squats!!! I think you're smart to take it slow and not push it. Whoo!

If this drags out much longer I may lose my mind
