Dec. 16, Tennis got rained out.

December 16, Sunday - HY: LIIFT 4 - Chest and Triceps Circuit + Quad-Challenges + TCF.

Today was supposed to be tennis day, but since there was a steady rain, it was canceled.  I was so bummed.  But it was a blessing in disguise because the night before, Saturday night, I watched the three-hour Crossover episodes of The Flash, Supergirl and Arrow called ELSEWORLD.  Since my daughter was out till about 9:30pm, we didn't start watching till past 10 o'clock.  It didn't finish until after 1 am.  And it was such an awesome show that I couldn't sleep for a long time.  So I woke up naturally around 10:30am.  I would have been really late if we did have tennis practice, but when I heard the rain, I knew it was canceled so I went back to sleep and didn't get up till close to noon.  I went out with my daughter in the afternoon just to do a little shopping and run some errands.  It was another nice moment of Father/Daughter time.  When I got home, I was awake and ready to move. 

I am continuing on with the LIIFT 4 program, so today was the beginning of Week 2, so back to Chest and Triceps.  The routine was made up of Quad-sets of alternating Chest and Triceps exercises.  It put the burn on, but It didn't feel as brutal as Week 1's routine.  I'm not sure if I like Quad-sets.  Supersets are more my pace.  But I pushed it as hard as I could go.  There wasn't a cardio part, but as usual, there was a core part, and that rocked my world.  I made the mistake of not doing the Quad-Challenges first, so when I got to them, the main trouble area was the Core and my core was getting so sore!  This is the first day that I had to break the V-Ups into two sets.  Also, for the Pull-Ups, it seems that I injured my left-upper-lat.  Pull-Ups were tough, as opposed to Chin-Ups which I was able to do better and with no toe taps.

In the end, I burned a good 785 kcals.  About average for a day like this.  I had a shake for dinner so I hope I evened out the calorie intake and burn.
