Week 2, Day 2.1 and 2.2

We had the “Fall Into Success” last night at A’s school which started at 5:15 and went until 7:15. AND B had his first night of soccer practice from 7:00 until 8:00. I was going to leave the school when Rob got there so I could go to the gym but A really seemed to appreciate the fact that we were both there at his school so I ended up staying. Then I wanted to meet B’s soccer coaches on the first night of practice so all three of us headed over to Crown to pick him up. We ended up chatting with another mother after practice and didn’t end up leaving Crown until 9:00. By the time we got home, got the boys into bed, and snuggled for a few minutes it was 9:45! There went any thought of my 30 minute easy run and my crunches and dips for the night.

Given that I didn't get anything done yesterday, I absolutely had to head to the gym tonight! B is playing Fall Ball and tonight was the “opening night” for the lights that were just installed. Then he had a game to play. He is spending the night at a friend’s house and Rob took A to JAM so I was good to go to the gym! My plan was to do 55 minutes total on the treadmill then my circuit. However, I only ended up doing 35 minutes total. (I have an excuse, but it’s pretty lame. I’ve been very cold in my office lately so I have been wearing tights – today it was orange and black striped witch’s tights. When I went to change for the gym I was still VERY cold so I [stupidly] left the tights on. Once I was moving on the treadmill I got toasty very quickly. Also, I hadn’t had much to eat and was getting pretty hungry. Lame, I know, but that’s my excuse!) I did manage to do the push ups and crunches part of my circuit. Where I was working in the gym I couldn’t seem to figure out how to do the dips, so I thought I could just do them later. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget to do them! I ate some dinner and finished up with the dips! Although I wimped out a bit on my run tonight I still feel pretty good! The boys are off school tomorrow (including Rob!) and I decided to use one of my few days to stay home with them. Who knows what fun we will get into tomorrow!

Here's how it went down tonight:

Dips: 32, 37, 32, 32, Max

Push ups: 20, 25, 20, 20, Max

Crunches: 38, 45, 38, 38, Max

My max sets were as follows: Dips – 50, Push ups – 28, and Crunches – 65
