Sunday round up

Today I tried to train legs with a groin strain. I tried a lunge yesterday and it was no good, so I was pretty much limited to knee extensions and hamstring curls! I think I did ok considering. I started with heavy knee extensions supersetted with rope pull throughs – these were ok on the groin. Then seated curls supersetted with DB Swings – also ok on the groin. Slotted in some calf raises on the smith machine – poor calves are normally rather neglected. Followed that with some more (heavier) knee extensions and then tried some walking lunges with no weight. Almost managed a set before a twinge made me stop. Tried some close stance squats with a 10kg DB but also felt the twinge here. So, gave up on legs and did some ab wheel rollouts and cable chops. Followed with 15 mins of high intensity cardio alternating bike with high incline walking. I feel sufficiently worked out so that’s good, hopefully the groin will be a bit stronger by next week’s leg session.

I met for coffee with Kerry M on Friday and must say she is looking absolutely fabulous! 30 something kilos lighter – who wouldn’t be!

I must admit I am intrigued by the whole MJ saga. We watched a concert of his on tv the other night – it was just awesome, so high energy. Now I just can’t get his songs out of my head. I go to bed singing them, and wake up singing them! It’s all very, very sad, and he sure is one strange character but what a performer!

Tomorrow is just cardio, hopefully it will be a lovely day just like today. Reminds me, must check weather for the Gold Coast! Hmm, I get two different forecasts. I’m hoping for at least 20 degree days and sun!

I’m looking forward to catching up with Kristin. It’s her birthday the day I arrive and she has invited me out to dinner with her and Eric – 3 might be a crowd Kristin!! She is going to pick me up at the airport too which is very handy! During the week we have a catch up planned with Eleni and Kerry, and on Saturday we are driving down to Harbourtown (outlet shops I believe!) to see Hils.

Congratulations to all those who competed in the All Female Classic on Saturday. I hope you all feel nice and contented now after a big feed J Special congrats to Selina and thanks for keeping me informed! Funnily enough I saw Shar’s name on the placegetters list and thought ‘wow, that’s a super effort when you’re pregnant!”. On checking her blog she’s been as sick as a dog and of course it was a typo on the INBA site! It has been since rectified!

Made a lamb curry for dinner tonight, was very good and very healthy at the same time.

We have a dvd to watch tonight, haven’t watched a movie in ages. “Milk” with Sean Penn.
