I cancelled my subscription to my old gym yesterday; after I made one last visit on Monday to see Catch. I was taking a chance since I hadn't seen him lately. Sure enough, he was there; even got on the rowing machine for me. On the cancellation form, the gym asked what was my favorite part of the gym. I told them " My gym eye candy Catch".
I got myself into a bit of trouble, but got through it-Thank God. No one is perfect, and I know I am at the top of the sinner list. You live and you learn.
I went back to my home town for the fourth of July weekend. I am always spoiled with home cooked meals. This was dinner Friday night:
I visited my friends new home and made some fireworks of my own on the fourth of July. ;).
One of my favorite places to visit is Ballast Point Pier. A trip home, just isn't a trip home without a visit to the Pier.
Of course I have to make a stop a my favorite bakery: Alessi bakery on Cypress before I left town.
Such nostalgia for me.
So today as I was working out, a thought came to me. I haven't been tracking my work outs. I don't like writing things down. Since this blog is for fitness and work out, why not use the blog to track my fitness. My formula for work outs now are 15 mins cardio>30 minutes strength training >15 minute cool down. The gym has a 30 minute circuit area. Machines against the wall and steppers in front. This weeks workout:
15 minutes on the stair climber ( Also known as the scare climber; 10 minutes for me is murder)
Express circuit for 30 minutes:
Alternating doing stepper for 1 set of 15 repetitions with one set on the corresponding machine against the wall:
Leg press
V-Step
Step and curl
leg extension
Step and glute lift
Leg curl
Step and
Alternating step
Step a
bicep curl
Step with high knee
Abs
Last 15 minutes cool down on the elliptical.
I think I will try this workout for two weeks, see how long it can make me sweat the most. In the mean time I will be coming up with a new workout.
My new healthy breakfast for this week is the Avocado Egg sandwich:
My favorite meal is breakfast so we will say the Avocado is the fruit of this post. I also used it on deconstructed rotisserie chicken to make Avocado Rotisserie chicken salad. It is super healthy for you and well worth the trip home for lunch.
For dessert for the week I have a simple and classic recipe:
1 pkg of Strawberry jello
1 pkg sugar free Strawberry jello
2 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water
1 bag of dollar tree frozen mangos
So incredibly good.
I ask for prayers for my Uncle Max. He is 74 and in the hospital recovering from surgery. Please keep him in your prayers for speedily recovery and release to go home.
While I was at the gym, after I had just about finish, I heard a song that pushed the corners of my mouth upward and I had to smile. This was the song, hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
