Had a half-day at work today for SATish test site prep. Don't get me started... But very happy to get home way early. I was able to start my workout by 1:30pm and finish in 2 hours!

Arms today were tough. Kept the weight from a week ago and they felt a little better. Almost every move that was extra tough last time I felt I took a step, a small step forward. The only move that I took a little step back was the Force Set. I was supposed to hold the weights through the five sets, but I had to put them down for a moment after the fourth set. But I picked them up right away because Segi was yelling at me. I felt my left arm on the Hammer Curl Progressive Set was getting stronger. I still had to use a little body English to get the weights up, but range of motion was full. I was happy about that. But there is still a great divide. The gap is a lot closer on my triceps.

I moved right into Abs and since I had a lot of time, I was really thinking to two levels. But for some reason, my pace on the Swiss Ball Roll Outs was a bit faster during the 40 seconds. I usually do between 14-16 reps, but today I was 18+. But I didn't feel as though I was going faster. Range of motion was the same as well. But the moan and groan was back, and again, on the fourth set, I felt sagging and I couldn't un-sag. Plus, with more reps came more burn. I would really be sacrificing form if I did an extra level so I stuck with only Level 8.

Splits were good. I was able to Push low and hard. Now, before my last straddle splits, I shake out my glutes and legs so as to prevent cramping, and I hold the pose for a whole minute. Got really low today, actually putting a little pressure on my push-up stand instead of just touching it. The Flow was good, clean and smooth.

BONE HEAD MOVE today!!!! I was so excited about having a lot of time, I went to my workout a bit to quickly. In doing so, I put on my HRM, but failed to put on the chest transmitter. So, 85 minutes into my workout, I look down to see my calorie count and I'M DEAD! My heart rate was at ZERO! It took me a moment before I realized what I had done so I quickly went and got the transmitter and put it on. So my calorie count on the HRM ended up being only 155kcal. Being measured for only 35 minutes. But looking back, it was probably just under 700kcals. Very not happy, but at least I still got my time down.

Happy to start/end the weekend with a good workout.
