My nightly routine:

Drive straight to the gym from work;
Change clothes and put my hair up;
Head out into the weight room and start hitting the weights;
Think about doing cardio;
Grumble a bit;
Then do it! :)

I then drive home, trying not to hit anyone after doing legs (this is a dangerous feat, let me tell you), eat either ground turkey, egg whites, or chicken with fresh spinach, answer e-mails and message board threads, and watch Seinfeld, Will & Grace, and Frasier reruns. I'm hooked!

And as I sit here and watch Niles and Daphne flirt openly now that Daphne walked out on her groom-to-be, I am trying to ignore the soreness that has already started in my glutes and will be traveling into my hamstrings by late tomorrow. I did legs tonight and pretty much exhausted myself!

The routine is as follows:

Superset
Lying leg curls - 3x12-15x45 lbs.
Reverse hyperextensions - 3x30 (no weight)

Superset
Squats (butt to the floor nearly!) 3x15x135 lbs. (slow and controlled)
Walking lunges (around the entire weight room, which equaled about 40 per leg!) 3x40 lbs.

Superset
Lying leg curls again 3x20x25 lbs.
Leg press (secret...narrow stance and feet very high on the platform) 3x20x315 lbs. (This really attacked my glutes and should be helping with my quad sweep.)

Now, the weights aren't incredibly high, but remember, I'm trying to keep my legs from growing and am actually trying to minimize them just a bit more, so I can't lift as heavily as I'd like. But the reps are higher and much more controlled as far as the pace goes. I'm really trying to keep my mind focused on the muscles that I need to work on rather than just thinking about getting the weight up (like I did with powerlifting).

I did shoulders yesterday, and luckily with my delts, I can lift as heavy as I like! They are sore today, so that's a very good sign! I did shoulder presses with dumbbells, front laterals with a dumbbell, side laterals with dumbbells, and rear laterals with dumbbells. I started off with high reps and then dropped the reps and upped the weights with each set, finishing off each exercise with a nice drop set! Burn baby, burn! Lol!

And now, I'm off to crawl into bed and catch about six or seven hours of sleep. Luckily, I have New Year's Eve as just a half day at work, and so I should be able to come home, take a nap, and work on the computer a bit. I have new pictures to scan in for y'all (Women's Physique World photos...halter top and jeans) and lots of other things to work on, and then off to dinner I'll go! Wednesday's a rest day and a cheat meal day, so I'll be a happy girl then! :)

Enjoy the rest of your week!
