LiveFit Trainer Recharge

I completely fell off the bandwagon when it comes to lifting weights. My kids got sick, then I got sick, and then I got lazy. Yesterday I went to the gym with my hubby and started Day 1 of Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer again. I was going to start where I left off, but since it's been 3 weeks and I was just starting week 3, I figured I might as well start over (I was off of it longer then on it by this point). Honestly, it felt great to be lifting. I've always enjoyed it so I don't know why I was being so lazy after getting sick. I thought it was funny that I was 1 of 2 girls who were actually lifting, and I was the only one using dumbbells.
I have been going to the gym. I've just been walking/running on the treadmill...mostly walking...told you I've been lazy. I just haven't felt like doing anything and I don't know why. I have been logging my food. In fact I switched from myfitnesspal to spark people - I'm hoping the change will keep me motivated and logging, and so far it's working!
I saw a sign on the wall that said for $40 you can enter the Gold's Gym 2013 Challenge. You get 10 bootcamp classes, nutrition help, personal training session, and a bunch of other stuff. I'm going to do it! And I'm going to stick with it!
I've got my list of Jamie Eason approved foods and meals all ready to go. Chris has been following it off/on since we first started doing the LiveFit Trainer. I have too, but not as strictly as he has been. Yesterday for a snack I had a 3oz piece of chicken and half a sweet potato. LOL Sounds funny eating that for a snack. I need to start saying meal 4 since really I'm eating 6 small meals a day not big meals and snacks. If I look at it as a snack then I think I'm doing it wrong since it's not what I would consider a real snack, but if I change up the way I think about it and say meal #4 then it should get easier. Right?!?! Well, it has to be true since I found a poster that says so!
Here is a recap of what I did yesterday at the gym. Day 1, Chest/Triceps:
Wide Pushups - 12 (reg), 12 (reg), 6 (reg), 6 (knees)
Dumbell Bench Press - 20lbs - 12, 12, 6
**on the last set when I tried to push up for 7 I almost knocked myself out. Thank goodness Chris was spotting me. These were super tough for me. When I looked back through what I did on week 1 and week 2, I did 20 lbs, 3 sets of 12. Holy crap did that make me feel weak!
Flys on Flat Bench - 12lbs - 12, 12, 12
Narrow Push-ups (all on knees) - 12, 12, 12
**I attempted these with my legs straight - bwahahahahaha...ah well, we all have to start somewhere.
Standing Dumbell Tricep Extension (overhead) - 15lbs - 12, 12, 12
Tricep Pushdown - 30lbs - 12, 35lbs - 12, 12
