8 of 28: Upper Body Workout
By the time I got home tonight (after my daughter’s hockey practice and a meeting for the parents of my kids’ school), I was beat. I was so tempted to just call it a night and hit the hay early, but I didn’t. Instead, I thought about how much better I always feel after I workout – energized, proud that I fit it in, stronger – and got out the dumbbells. I did an upper body workout balancing on my Bosu, with a little lower body thrown in there. As I relaxed against my Bosu after my last set of incline chest press, I drifted off. You know you’re tired when you wall asleep on the living room floor, using a Bosu as a pillow…
Eating wise, I was much improved over the non-stop eating and consumption of sugar that was my weekend. I did have a slice of poppy seed loaf at supper time, but not on it’s own. Still, I think it definitely counts as a treat, so boo to that. I didn’t meet my goal there. Tomorrow is another day, though.
Goals for tomorrow:
- no treats
- 30 min of cardio (stationary bike or walking)
’8 of 28: Upper Body Workout’ : I find reading your posts very inspirational. Please keep it up!
Thanks!
I love a good old shoulder press!
You are doing great with your goals! Don’t sweat the small slips.
My new favorite upper body exercise is the assisted chin-up. I’m trying to work up to doing one unassisted chin-up, so I’m hoping to see my assist weight go down to nothing!
Push-ups for sure! Keep up the great work.
I’m a fan of planks because I feel like they’re multi-purpose. Abs, arms and inner thighs all at once!
As weird as it sounds, I love bench pressing!
Plank pose and also push-ups with my feet on an exercise ball (if I’m ambitious, I alternate between push ups and pulling the ball in with my legs for an extra core move).
