Monday Schmunday…

Daylight savings time is KILLING me. Ok not literally but it sure has made me realize exactly how important an hour can be.

I had a hard time waking up this morning, and my energy levels have SUCKED all day.  Despite all of this I STILL managed to get  a workout in.

I did Power 90 Sculpt today, with a little bit of Kettlebell movements, and then did a circuit with pull ups(more on that later), more push ups, and walking lunges.

I bought one of those Iron Gym door pull up bar thingys. I got it this weekend at Wal-Mart for like 29 bucks. It was easy to assemble and fit perfectly in the doorway in my gym.  I used it the first day without any pain or issues. Granted I did assisted pull-ups on the first day by using a tall box step in the doorway and using my legs to push part of my body weight up. I made it a goal to go from ZERO unassisted Pull-ups to 10 in 30 days.

Today I decided to try to do an unassisted pull-up. Not a good idea at all. I grabbed the bar, allowed my arms to go straight and let my body weight hang from the bar and my right shoulder POPPED and then I got a searing pain.  It took awhile but I can now move my arm in almost full range of motion. For a little while I was really scared I had dislocated it. (Leave it to me to dislocate a shoulder trying a pull-up. Trust me if it can be done I can do it.)

I don’t think I’ll be attempting any more pull-ups until the pain is completely gone. I’m not even sure I can do my kettlebell circuits anymore. Which sucks because I LOVE my Kettlebells.

Anyways, Tomorrow is a new day and I have some High Intensity Interval training planned onthe Dreadmill, and maybe I’ll do some brisk walking around the property.

My eating has been pretty good today.

Oh, In case you were wondering. DON’T buy any product made by Walden Farms. They make these Calorie Free products. I bought some of the Calorie Free Peanut Butter Spread and immediately threw it in the garbage as soon as I tasted it. Bleh!!!! Talk about NASTY! It didn’t even taste REMOTELY like peanut butter at all.  I am of the firm belief that sometimes things SHOULD have calories, fat and flavor. It’s the spice of life baby!!
