I usually meet with my trainer once a week but this week I scheduled two sessions. I felt like I was falling behind and I needed a little push. I am so glad I doubled up because two workouts with him turned into three. On Friday evening we did shoulders, biceps and abs. The photo below was exactly how I felt. There were so many times when I felt like I could not go on, but he knew I had it in me and he pushed me. THAT is why I workout with him.
During our workout my trainer asked me if I wanted to join him and another trainer in dead lifting the next day. I was so honored that two personal trainers wanted me to dead lift with them. I woke up Saturday morning and made a very nutritious breakfast to fuel up. Egg whites, hash browns with zucchini mixed in, turkey bacon and coffee, of course. By the way, the Silk Almond Creamer is so good! I found it at Target.
Dead lifting went really well. We ended up doing back as well. This was only the third time I had dead lifted. Last time my heaviest was 175. This time I was able to do 205. The trainers mentioned that I should do a power lifting competition. Hmmm. Something to think about.
I came home and ate a lunch filled with protein to help my muscles recover. Grilled chicken with pineapple and a paleo protein shake.
This is how we're spending our Sunday. Being the laziest of lazy. We are really into Hannibal right now. Such a good show!
I just have to say that I love Kelly Clarkson so much. She's been in the media a lot lately, not because of her talent, but because of her weight. I think it's absolutely ridiculous. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl ten months ago and I think she looks amazing! I really admire how she has responded to the criticism.
