Your dinner sound delicious! I love eggs! I think I may make some now too.

I got my bike computer in today, so now I can see exactly how much mileage I put on the bike as well as trip distances and speeds. Justin Tanyuvutti helped me too. He is super happy for me and he said I got a really nice bike, which means a lot coming from him.

Shower time for me so I will finish this post when I am done eating. I just realized I do the exact same thing when I come home. I go to the kitchen, check for mail, drop off my stuff in my room, check for food in the fridge and open up my laptop and check this blog first (always lol).

edit, I am full, but I still need to study :(

The bike ride was tons of fun today. We biked down to Georgetown (Key Bridge) via the Capital Cresent Trail. I think I will have to do that trail again because I want to see how far it really is and how quickly I can do it. On another note, I need to get cycling shorts too. At first, I thought I could do without them, but after a while, the saddle doesn't feel too great lol. My lower back was a little tired too because of all the leaning over I was doing on my bike. Just something I need to get used to. Weird, I can deadlift 300+ pounds, but riding made my back tight...go figure! Any chance I get to wear tights, I am totally down for lol.

Your workout looked good. I think after the biking tomm, I am going to try to hit legs! Fingers crossed.

I'll do some planks too! Nice job with yours, you probably have me beat!

5 miles?! nice job, Minh! i'm impressed. and jelly :)
i wanna be able to run again! grr. soon enough, i suppose.
Anyway, your workout seemed fun, too. Glad you got that in today.
Well I talked to you while on my way to the gym but here is what I did:

10 min warmup on amt

3x:
seated shoulder press- 25lbs/7x (ugh why was this SO hard?! i've gone heavier, i'm pretty sure)
SB T's and Y's for post delts- 7.5lbs/6 (6 t's and 6 y's)

3x:
Y/diagnol raises- 7.5lbs/10
Lateral raises- 10lbs/8x (i think it was 8)
side plank lifts- 15

3x:
Resistance band T's- 10
Minh shoulder exercise :) -7.5lbs/8x

did plank for 2:30, could have gone longer but my shoulders were tireddd
did some other abs and stuff

amt for 35 minutes.
foam roll.
stretch.

making an egg frittata right now. it kinda isn't quite right because we don't have a beater so i was hand beating the egg whites with a wisk and before i could froth them all my arms gave out:) so i just went with it. lol

A little past my bedtime...

Just finished my paper. Eating took me a lot longer than I expected! I was getting so tired when I was writing my paper that I undoubtedly made some goofs. I will have to read it once more before I turn it in.

I went on a 5 mile run today. I am becoming a stronger runner, but I still find it hard to "enjoy" running. Although, I did feel sort of "liberated" and "free", probably because I didn't have a phone or anything to really worry about so that was nice! It was freezing and it started to rain a little. At first, my lungs were super pissed, but after a while, I warmed up and I was fine. The rain was even kind of pleasant.

On a brighter note, I got to workout today! I did a Push/Pull workout. It was one push motion supersetted with one pull motion. Kind of fun, try it out!

Circuit 1
Bench (8 reps)
135, 135, 185, 185, 135
TRX Row 15x

Circuit 2
Smith Machine Shoulder Press (only loaded weight on the bar)
90, 90, 140, 140, 140
Upright Barbell row
65# x 15

Circuit 3 (repeat twice before break)
TRX mid row 15x
TRX pushup 15x

That's all I had time for. I will start doing more fun workouts soon enough!

Glad I got to talk to you earlier! I will let everyone know that you said Hi! Good luck on your quiz later on!


EDIT: it's 3:30 and I can't sleep! FML!

I attempted to work on my paper, but no luck. The prompt was incredibly confusing and I had not a clue what the professor was looking for so I shot her an email and called it quits :( So much work to do...

The Pushup drop set, you're doing it right if you can't do that much after. You aren't supposed to be able if you are pushing yourself at every rep!

Awesome for the car, you finally got it this weekend right? I'm happy for you, getting a new car is always a fun thing!

Mexican for dinner?! WIN! I still need to see you eat more than me at Guapos... you keep saying you can, but I haven't seen it. Megan and I went to Shake Shack in Dupont today. It was good, but I think I prefer Five Guys over it. Their fries and burgers were good, Five Guys is just better. However, they did have shakes...and that one ups Five Guys! I brought up Teds, but it was too far and we were both dying already from starvation.

Today was better, family wise. lol
My family is just SO disorganized and my mom was frustrated and so was i so yeah.
Anyway... workout. I was SO ready to go today but my workout wasn't the greatest. I felt weak which sucked cuz i was ready to go. It's okay, i got it in:) i wanted to go longer but i needed to get back and go to work.

Chest and tri's:

My pushup set (why does this kill me? By the end I can get like 2 pushups)

3x
DB chest press- 30lbs/10x (yeah i got 10 but I didnt feel strong and if i went heavier i felt like i wouldn't be able to handle it... probably could have)
DB flyes- 15lbs/10
feet on bench pushups to fail

3x:
close grip DB press- 25lbs/10
single arm tricep one you showed me- 15lbs/6 times then fail w/ 10 lbs

Machine chest press- 90lbs/6

All the guys today were being obnoxious and on EVERY SINGLE cable machine and not sharing so i changed the last part of m workout and did
skull crushers w/12.5lbs DB for 8
spiderman pushups for 8

stairmaster for 20, elliptical for 15
abs
stretch
work
yummy mex dinner with the fam:)

didn't really study... oops. time for bed:)
DROVE MY CAR AROUND what what!!!

Not much to report. I did not get a chance to work out and as you know, I did not get my person to sign up :( Christiana said that she will most likely turn around and train later. Hope so.

I did however get a chance to sort of ride my bike. It was FASSTTT! Really smooth ride too. Glad you like my new toy, I like it too lol.

I have some homework to do, so I am going to get back to that.

Glad you had a better time with your parents!

Funny that you should mention the calendar. A picture was sent to you earlier today, but ATT was being a jerk so I guess it did not go through. I think you would have liked it though. That's ok, I can always re-send it when the time comes. You'll know which one it is too!

I am super stoked about the bike, but go figure, the weather was some absolute shit today, 49 degrees for a high WITH rain. It's just sitting in my trunk, I was almost tempted to bring it inside and take some pics, but I decided that it was too much work and said F it! I won't send you a pic of the bike yet, but here is a teaser:

Somehow it reminds me of you! Strange huh? Must be a good sign.

I have to get a helmet now to guard my noggin, but these things are soo expensive! One thing that I am looking forward to, cycling tights! Lol, Amy asked me if I had on butt pads the other day, guess she was impressed by my shelf :) Jelly yet?

Also, I attempted legs today, but I was dead! I could do anything so I stopped and hopefully I will be able to attempt it again tomm!

What part of the body are you on now?

Sorry about your stressful day, sucks because I know you were really excited. Maybe if the whole family wasn't together at the same time it would have been better? Who knows. Hope you had fun at your football game, I am sure you did. Try not to show your parents how good you are at drinking games, not something you want to be showing off to them :)
