hard workout = tired Kelly

Hey Everybody so I actually have half of a post saved in my drafts that I started to write and then never finshed for some weird reason so to keep that from happening again I'm just going to be short and to the point because I'm very tired from my kick ass workout I did this evening..... So it all started with me getting off work and having all evening to do whatever so there's been alot of stuff on my mind lately and alot of things I've been wanting to do one of which is get to the gym more often... in the process of making that happen :) Also I hadn't been to starbucks in what seems like a long time. So I treated myself to a new drink that got me ready and rearin to spend my evening at the gym. But before starbucks I had a healthy and econimical dinner at Max and Ermas. I had the carribean chicken with the salsa on the side because a good friend of mine that works there gave me a heads up that it was a little spicey. Oh my goodness I have never had this meal but it was amazing!!!!! I ordered the smaller portion primarily for the price savings but what I got made me forget that I got the smaller portion :) I received one chicken breast a lot of rice and it normally comes with broccoli but I love they're salads there so I got one of those instead and like I said I got the salsa on the side and even tried a little and it wasn't reallly spicey just had a little kick and was glad I got it on the side so I was able to control how much I had. I had water with my meal which was also a hard choice cause Max and Ermas has a delicious drink that is actually pretty bad for you that I love and I did not get it so that was a milestone kind of. So then after dinner I wanted to get a caffeine fix to help me through my workout also wanted to give my dinner a little time to absorb into my body before starting my workout also like I said wanted to spend some time at starbucks. SO I went :) however I'm strongly watching my pennies these days so I had to deliberate on what to order so I decided to go with a double shot of espresso over ice added my own sweetner and milk like I would to a cup of coffee and spent about a half hour reading and getting caffeinated up :) Then went to the gym by the time I got there it was about 6 or 6;30 I started with my normal half hour on the eliptical but then found a movie I have been seeing advertised called "Revenge of the Bridesmaids" which I loved and didn't want to miss any of so in addition to that first half hour on the eliptical I then moved onto the tredmill where I hung out for almost an hour (I took breaks though to jog the track and refill water and take a potty break so it's not like it was a full hour on the tredmill) Then the movie was almost over but I was sick of the tredmill so I went back to the eliptical for the last half hour but I didn't want to skip my weight training I've been focusing on latley just because I did extra cardio nooooo noo noo I continued on to doing my thigh weight machines jogged another lap on the track then did my two leg push down and lift up machines and did another jog around the track then went to do my arm free weights. I recently started a new free weight routine to try to bump it up a little so this is what I did I started with my 2 10 pound weights and did 15 bicep curls. I then did 15 squats 15 behind the head arm dip thingys then my 15 weights above head to toe touches. thats one set of all those exercises I'm trying to work my way up to three sets of each like I do with my leg exercises I'm only able to do two sets right now but as long as I keep going I should be able to get to three soon. THEN I went to cool off in the pool for a little while. I started in the big (cooler) pool to do my treading then moved into the therapy (warmer) pool to relax my muscles a little. I am in a lot of pain as of right now and can only assume it's going to be 10 times worse tommorow but I just have to remind myself that this is how I get results and if I keep doing it eventually it won't hurt anymore :) ok so now that I've filled you all in on my amazing night i'm going to get some sleep becuase I have to work two jobs tommorow :) GOOD NIGHT xxoo
