It's been a crazy end to my week but I am ready for Monday (shockingly!). Thursday was probably one of the best workouts I had at Fitness Together. First, I started with Palani directing me to the scale. I really appreciate that he's still keeping me accountable for the weekly weight in. I weighed a bit less than last week and he said he was proud of me. It's always a great feeling when someone is proud of you but even better to know that I was proud of myself. I love the support!
As for the workout, Erin had us do a lot more TRX than what was listed and I was stoked. One of my favorite pieces of equipment is the TRX because I use my own body weight with it. Near the end, Erin asked us how we wanted to end our session and I pointed at the ropes, "Battle ropes!" She was shocked. I was shocked, too. Palani use to make me and Vanessa do them and they were awful. I couldn't move them long enough and I always felt defeated by them. However, after building up my strength and endurance I was able to do them for 45 seconds straight. Like it was nothing! I was impressed with myself. Then Erin had to introduce me to battle rope jumping jacks - there goes my celebration. Battle rope jumping jacks are my new challenge!

The infamous battle ropes!
Here's a better view of the day's workout. We did a lot more TRX then what is shown here.
After a good workout on Thursdays, I like to treat myself to some delicious sushi. Sushiya has 50% off cut rolls and specialty rolls on Thursdays so it's a cheap way to get some yummy fish. I always look forward to Sushi Thursdays!
Pokie Roll and a Vegetable Roll
What do you like to treat yourself to after a good workout?
Lots of posts coming up this week! I celebrated Jessica's birthday this weekend and I have lots of pictures to share.
Until then, keep smiling!

My favorite post workout treat is a snow cone...but it has to be from this certain place (unfortunately 10 miles from my house) where the ice is shaved to the point where it is like snow. I am always so thirsty when I run, hike or cycle and I really don't drink beverages besides water (very rarely do I have a soda) so a blue coconut, lime or peach snow cone is my favorite treat.
ReplyDeleteI love shaved ice! I use to eat it every now and then in Hawaii. Such a great way to treat yourself! I definitely need to look into a shave ice place round here. I admire your ability to not drink soda. I am currently trying to stop but I've been getting major headaches so I give into the caffeine. :-/
