So now it's Monday and as hard as it was to get moving, I did do a sort of lame excuse for a workout.  Just the basics: I did:

the hill 4x

stepper 10 min
---crouch down and lean forward to really target the quads/glutes

deep lunges 2sets - 5 reps each leg

plank/pushups

reverse plank/ham&glutes

triceps - didn't count, just went till it burned

plie squats w/2 25lb dumbells - 2 x 10rps
---again, lean slightly forward to engage back/traps, pull up to engage biceps (be INCREDIBLY careful to keep your back straight and taut so as not to strain/pull lower back!)  This will also give you strong 'cords' on either side of you spine (which looks good in a bikini!)not to mention just a strong back!

ab/oblique crunches@45degrees

wide pec press 2x10

I read this morning that Gwyneth Paltrow works out for 1.5-2hrs 5 days/week.  I feel shame!

I was going to do a 'photo shoot' for my hubby in my purple bikini and purple pumps but then I looked at all the flaws on my bod, and ate a scone!  I'm sure THAT really helped!  Although, in my defense,  Last night for supper I had a 1/2 chicken breast (they were big!), a HUGE pile of veggies (asparagus/broccoli/onion) with vinegar/pepper, ... and spring rolls.  Hmmm now I'm flushing with lemon water for all I'm worth.  She said she'll do the photo shoot on Wednesday, so I'm got some cutting to do - PANIC!!!

Now!  After reading this I feel pretty good about my workout!

Till Next time B Healthy!
