BodyPump Tuesday: Day 36 + Birthday Party

Hey NeverEver's!

I didn't think I was going to be able to post tonight, as I had a cousins birthday party! Yay for Wendii turning 19 and on her 2nd day at Cal State Dominguez! Did I mention that I was able to stay away from that delicious looking cake!

Birthday!!!! 

You know I really don't like the pictures that my iTouch takes...I mean really why is it so blurry?? Grr! Okay, so I was on the rush as my Body Pump class ended at 8:25, started earlier then usual, so rushed home, quick shower and well my awesome outfit came out of it. Yes I am totally working it ^_^.

Able to get ready right after my gym time!

I think this is the first time I posted a pic of the Hubby! Have to say even in 4in heels I still am short. I wish there was a stretching device for the short people in the world!

Hubby and I

Have to say I do love having left overs for lunch! My Lemon Chicken was still really moist and yummy! So happy that it turned out so well and tasted so yummy after it was already in the fridge since Sunday! Yay I am getting better at this cooking thing!

Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!!

I had a great time at BodyPump tonight! Although I think that I might have put on a little to much weight on the bar. It was a little hard to finish the arm exercises but I did great on lunges! Might have to go a little less next Tuesday but I am still trying my best to make sure that each class challenges me!

Here is my Stats for Day 36:

Yay for 1056 calorie deficit!

I have to say that I had an awesome day! Yay for awesome days like today!

Oh on a side note, my 'Before' Pictures came in and I can not wait to show them to you guys tomorrow!

So NeverEver's, how do you handle birthdays? A free pass? or a little off the top? or nothing at all? Today was a nothing at all type day but there has been days that I have done a free pass.

Tuesday Gym Day!

Hey NeverEver's!

When I first started working out in the gym there was all these machines that I really had no idea what to do with them. So I watched people while doing my cardio and looked up things online.

So today is my Gym Day! All about the numerous equipment and everything else that is in the gym! I am focusing on the arm and chest machines today!

Here was what I am able to find:

Incline Chest Press

As the name sounds like this machine works the chest. You keep your hand on the bars at least 6 to 12 inches wider then your shoulders to work that chest! Make sure that you keep your elbows in line with your hands not pointing them down to the ground.

Lateral Raise Machine

 This machine works your shoulders...and trust me you DO feel it! Raise your arms to your shoulder length and make them parallel to the floor. As you are lowering them don't quite touch your body!

Cable Machine Overhead Triceps Extension 

  So you start with your arms behind your head feet staggered, start with your elbows bent 90 degrees by your ears, holding the bar behind your head and then extend the bar to over your head.

Cable Machine Biceps Curl

As you can see this is the same machine as above! You adjust the pulley on the machine as close to the floor as possible and then curl your bar the up towards your chest.  A full extension is when you go from up as you can see from the picture then to all the way down to your thighs. Make sure your keep your elbow is bent so you don't over extend yourself.


Okay NeverEver's these are the machines that I wanted to post today! I hope you have enjoyed and learned something with me!
