Happy almost Friday! I started my day off with a fabulous workout. First I did 50 minutes of the Burn Baby Burn Workour #1 and then followed it with about 35 minutes of strength, doing the following circuit, which is based off of Mrs. Fitnessista’s Winter Shape Up Int/Adv. Week 2 Workout. As promised in my last post, here’s my Strength Workout for this week:

Pump it Up Workout #1
Split Squat Overhead Press (10 Each Leg x 5 pds.)
Bicep Curls (12 x 10 pds.)
Dumbbell Boxing (1 minute)
One Legged Side-Arm Extension (12 each leg & Arm, 4 pds.)
Saxon Side Bends (10 each side, 5 pds)
Dumbbell Double Crunch (12, 3 pds)
Burpees (10)
Hammer Curls (12 x 10 pds.)
Chatarguna Hold (30 Seconds)
Reverse Plank (30 Seconds)
Repeat Circuit Twice for a total of three times.
Total Time: About 85 Minutes
Total Calories (according to my HRM): 750
It was a great workout! I feel like it was missing something though, typically I add it tricep dips but I was running short on time. I plan on adding about ten more minutes of strength in on Saturday. Depending on what my body thinks about the circuit tomorrow
That being said, my pump up the calories plan is going well too. I’ve been between 1800-2000 calories for the last two days. It’s amazing how much 1800-2000 calories of healthy food is! I must say, I felt pretty stuffed when I woke up this morning, but other than that I think my body is loving me finally giving it closer to what it needs. I’m getting hungrier more often, feeling more awake, and really feeling energized for my workouts! I’ve also noticed my heart rate is way higher during my workouts since the last few days of eating more. Interesting, I’m thinking this is because my body can work harder with more fuel.
Last night, I also had class, and finally my dream has been realized, in the words of Van Halen, I have a HOT teacher.

Lol. C’mon girls, you know you’ve all wanted at least one hot professor.
Anywayzers, back to the grind, I’m thinking power yoga later and a delicious recipe!
Have you ever had a crush on a teacher/professor?
Hope that power yoga ended up happening for you and yes, I think we’ve all had a hottie teacher crush! You’ll have to fill us in on the teacher and the 411
Your last comment re Kensington (we used to live on Adams Ave in Univ Hts was one of our places in SD). What a small world! I used to take my daughter to the playground across the street from the Kensington Starbucks 1x/week at least!
I used to have this english teacher which EVERY girl had a crush on. From what I remember, he was the really hot type and yet sort of nerdy because he had glasses… lol
