of face allergies and new determination.......10/3/12 workout

Last Monday, I thought that spray sunblock would be such a good idea....wrong now my face has little bumps on it 'allergies' and it is even on my ears where I sprayed.....it itches a bit and I can't wait for it to go away....I'm thinking of taking something, but I already take so many meds I hate to add one more. Seriously.....I'm sick and tired of swallowing pills.

I'm on day 4 (really day 5) of no colas and I'm still shinning bright! My son is stepping off his colas by drinking every other day this week and next week every 2 days, etc.....I was at the store & actually got him one & wasn't even tempted to get one for me. Not even a little......However, I did think of my new favorite not water drink...

Rockstar Energy Recovery......lemonade....and it actually tastes like lemonade.....which I love!
here's the low down of what's in it

which is way better than my old drink....dr.pepper

Dr pepper

the dr. pepper ingredients are for a 20 oz drink. I was drinking a 1.5 liter per day....what the heck!?

last evening I went to the gym with a renewed determination! I felt so much better already that I felt like a million bucks (and still do)! No headaches from lack of colas.none.yey me!

you can say that sleeping better has something to do with my feeling better, but I totally credit my stopping colas for that.......that and my tweeking of my meds (the pharmacy had them listed wrong on the bottle! so now I'm taking the right amounts)....last night and the night before have been like a dream for me....lol..in sleep land. Hubbs even had to wake me after alarm went off........that NEVER happens! yey me!

last evenings workout included things I haven't done in a while.....

I rode the bike 15 mins

straight leg dl-with 12lb db in each hand-
10/10/10

leg ext
60/15-70/10-80/10-90/(failed at 6)

lunges 
10 each leg x's 3 *I'm doing so much better with these!*

smith machine squats-to fail up weight
55/10,65/8,75/5, and my best ever 105lbs 3 times!!, 15 bar only 

timed standing calf raises (30 seconds each time)
x's 3

exercise ball ham curl 
8/10 hold 60 count

plank 
30 seconds both legs, each leg (left and right)

I just felt so good after my workout last evening!! I am sore, but not so much I hate it......just enough to let me  know my muscles are reacting to what I did & that's what we want.

while at the gym someone guessed at me weight 100lbs.......so funny and tickled me to death! I don't really go by the scales anymore (the one I have can't tell muscle weight from fat) so I go by tape...if you aren't doing that you really should!
