Day 31: Chest/Shoulders/Tris; Ab Ripper X

Son of a biscuit!  I feel like I did way, way back on day 1!  This workout was a beast of a beast, and my arms are still wobbly.  Oh, man, this was tough.  I had no idea how many different ways you could work your triceps and how many stinking variations there are on the push up, which, let's face it, is one of the most loathesome moves around.  Well, for me anyway.  

I have entered "Phase 2" of the program, so it was amazing to get this body jolt.  That doesn't mean I won't have to ask anyone and everyone tomorrow to help me get my suitcase on the conveyor belt, my carry on in the overhead bin or, heaven help me, find a stranger to assist me in the bathroom.  Well, maybe not that last one.  I just hope I don't get stuck anywhere, like Boise.  That would be a bummer.

Ab Ripper, thy name is Stinker.  I am almost resigned to this just being the norm.  Yes, yes, I'm doing my best and forgetting the rest.  I just wish the rest wasn't the last 8 reps in each set.  I'll get there, and when I do, I'll do my blog entry entirely in caps.  That does, after all, convey excitement.  

Today was my last workout until next Wednesday.  I'm going to Colorado and am going to have a wonderful time helping one of my best friends in the whole wide world get herself good and hitched to a really awesome man.  Karrie and Rob, I'm coming!  I'll be the one that can't lift her arms.  Catch the rest of ya'll on Wednesday (and you better be back Wednesday)!

Day 31:  Brought.

  1. You are a total inspiration, you know that? Legs & Back almost killed me this morning, and that's WITHOUT the Ab Ripper. I might do that tonight. Or maybe not.

  2. Have fun, lady! I can't wait to see you Wednesday! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! ... hmm, caps lock really does get my point across. ;)
