Workouts, Music and Motivation?

Soooo... its been less than a week and I've already fallen off on my blogging. SMH Anywho, I've been eating poorly and haven't kept track of everything I've eathen, but think bacon cheese burgers, lobster and crab bisque, chicken fingers, fried catfish, buffalo wings, cupcakes, and lots of alcohol. On the upside I did spend a whole day running around in the woods shooting people. I'm pretty sure playing paintball counts as a workout. :-)

Weigh in: 145.6lbs (9/20/2011 @ 5:54 am) That's surprisingly good progress considering the way I've been eating.

Work outs: I've switched up my work out schedule again. For the most part I've been doing a lot of strength training, and a few weeks ago I went on a Cardio kick. Last week I decided to find a happy medium. So I alternate strength training and cardio. Yesterday was a strength training day and it was leg day. Which goes as follows

Leg Press
4 sets of 15 reps at 160lbs

Lounges
4 sets of 10reps at 40lbs

Squats
3 sets of 12 reps @90lbs

Leg Curl
3 sets of 10 reps @90lbs

Leg Extension
3 sets of 12 reps, two at 75lbs and one at 90lbs

Aductors
3 sets of 40 reps at 80lbs

Abductors
3 sets of 40 reps at 90lbs

Ended with a little light cardio on the ArcTrainer while I waited on RR to finish his cardio.

Today will be a Cardio day, so I'm working on my Cardio playlist. So far Kanye's Power has earned a permanent spot on my gym playlist. Other songs on the playlist are Rihanna's Rockstar 101, Jamie Foxx - I don't need it, Gym Class Heroes - To Bob Ross with Love, Nelly Furtado - Maneater, Janelle Monet - Tightrope, Delta Spirit - People C'mon, etc. What's on your workout playlist?


So while I haven't been blogging, I have been hitting the gym despite how much the changing weather makes me want to go home an curl up with a cup a tea. I am not a fun trainee when I'm not motivated, and lately the only thing I've been motivated to do is go home and sleep. However for some reason RR keeps dragging me to the gym and taking my abuse (read: whining and complaining) everyday with an endless supply of patience and only the occasional eye roll. So currently, my gym motivation is RR, mostly because he drags me kicking and screaming. But what do you do when your inspiration photos and body role models, aren't enough anymore?
