FUNctional fitness & last night's workout update

I deleted yesterday's post. Nurse Ratchet is being fired. She should be gone very soon but not soon enough.

Tonight I did my functional fitness workout for the second time. It ends with 10 - 15 second sprints. I did 5 - 15 second sprints. Each time I went a little faster. By the time I do this for the 4th time I hope to be doing a full out sprint for each one. I'm still a little timid after my calf injury but am pushing a little harder each time--just like with my weight workouts.

I'm a big geek & keep all of my workouts -- including a calendar in Excel. I'm very proud to say that I completed 16 days of working out during the month of January so far; I still have one more workout. I think I might do Rachel's metabolic thingy.

I did 1 round of Laura's 2/10/20 rotation & found that I was already too wiped out from my weight workout--because I worked really hard. I also found that climbing in & out of my iron woody band was a pain in the ass & couldn't be bothered last night.

I am really enjoying these workouts. I know that I've worked hard & am keeping my eating clean. After yesterday's little lunch out I jumped on the scale this AM. I am down 2 lbs from last week. Today I wore a pair of jeans that had felt like they were going to cut me in half just 3 weeks ago. They are still much tighter than I like but they are better. I think can see changes in my abs. I can't wait until Saturday to measure.

Here is last nights 3x15 chest/arms workout:

Incline db press 15 lbs
flat bb press 45(2)/40
DB flies on the ball 14/15/12 The 14s are made from plates & db bars from a set we have--I actually weighed these on my scale. LOL
DB curls 14/12/10 My biceps are BARKING today.
BB skull crushers 25(3)

Tomorrow is a rest day. I'm very excited!

Awesome job!!!! Go easy on the sprints till your body gets used to them.

I'll be sending along your next workout plan soon. :)

I read the Nurse R post before you deleted it, so figures this was coming. Still, sorry she has to be let go, that outcome never makes anyone feel very good. Plus now you have to start over.
