So, we have a [...] Excited to be back to working out again! I decided to bike to the Y, which is around 7-8 miles or so from home. Since I didn’t have to swim, I just biked for the cardio as I was only going to use the weights at the Y. Fueled up with a wheat english muffin [...] What a dreary rainy day. The morning actually was a little sunny, but it’s been rain ever since! It sure doesn’t feel like July. Today was the last official workout for stage 2 of NROLW: * Barbell deadlifts: 1 x 10 80 pounds, 1 x 10 85 pounds * Bulgarian split squat: 2 x 10 [...] Thank you so much to everyone for their wonderful comments and emails on my anniversary post yesterday! It made me so energized to keep going and helped me have a great workout this morning! Preworkout fuel:
This was tasty, kind of like a Luna but crunchier and chewier. It only [...] Did Stage 2 workout B of NROLW this morning.
