Bench Press

I can't believe I got through my workout yesterday morning. I am still just pooped from the riguorous weekend. It took me awhile to get out of bed yesterday morning so I didn't step on the eliptical until 10 after 7. I only got 20 minutes of cardio in. Poop. And then this is the circuit Ashley made me do:

-15 bench press reps (50 pounds!)
-15 normal decline bench crunch reps
-15 tricep press reps (25 pounds!)
-15 decline bench w/ 5 pound weight punch reps (working the obliques)
-15 push-ups

After doing that cirucuit 3 times it was...

-15 cable fly reps
-15 cable lat pull reps on each arm

3 TIMES!

I was exhausted. And I could barely move my arms.

The scale keeps going up this week. I am wondering what's going on so I am being stricter on my diet and making sure I get enough sleep. I don't feel like I'm gaining weight, but it very well could be muscle mass or my scale. The scale fluctuates up to 8 pounds. I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't be weighing myself everyday, but for some reason, I feel a need.

I took a much needed break from working out today. I am so tired and cranky and just want to go to bed. I can't wait to sleep.

I can't believe you did all of that at once! Wait, I don't even know what all of that is!! I thought I was tired after my 5 mile walk today. I'll stop complaining now.
