Day 66: Back and Biceps with Ab Ripper X

I love this workout!  Like Tony says, we are working out the "glamour muscles" during this workout.  And I've noticed that I've moved up in weight in many of the exercises and am very close to the 8-10 rep zone I want to be in.  For the last exercise, you do 4 sets of 8 bicep curl reps with 4 different weights.  Because I'm limited in selection, I did 30/20/20/20.  If I had a 25lb weight, that would help with this (and other) exercises where 30 is too much but 20 is too light.

For a couple of reasons, I was unable to do the Ab Ripper workout last night.  I'm thinking I will now do the two remaining workouts for this week on Friday (regularly scheduled) and Sunday morning.

Also yesterday, we had supper at the Mexican restaurant and I had my regular chicken taco salad.  Afterwards, I had a craving for ice cream, so I had a cyclone from Frosty Queen.  Heath bar with some hot fudge.  It was very good!  My excuse was that I'd done so good eating so far, I deserved a little reward.  I'm not too worried about this as I really have been doing very well with my nutrition for the last 2+ months.  However, I also want to be cautious that I don't start slipping on the other facets of my eating. As long as this was just a true isolated "reward", then it's fine.

Yoga today.
