Pyramid Workout with My Roommate

Cross Training

FacebookTweetPin
12 Apr

Hello! The other day it rained in SoCal…like full on water falling from the sky. It was so weird. Luckily it was a rest day from running so I was able to stay inside and do a good pyramid workout. It’s a good mix of cardio and abs.

In other news, I have a new roommate for a while!

I went to my parents’ house to visit (read: stock up on avocados and oranges) and say ‘Hi!’ to all the pets.

Lucky is scared of everything, kind of like me.

Clyde is getting so big!  Why do puppies grow so fast?!

I hung out with all my furry friends and then packed up the Roxican and took her home with me.

We’re going to have so much fun being roommates… I plan on having movie & martini night and painting each other’s nails and eating ice cream…

Vegas set some ground rules for our new visitor. Overall he’s pretty self-involved and doesn’t really care if Roxy is here – actually he doesn’t care if I’m here either. He just tolerates everyone.

Spring cleaning is almost done at RER headquarters! I’m still sorting through what I want to keep/donate. But I needed to clean my bookcase so I took everything down and am only putting back the ‘keepers’.

All this cleaning requires some treats!

Sonic happy hour for the win.

Results from the Ketchup and/or PB refrigerator debate:

Most people put ketchup and/or Sriracha in the fridge (okay everyone except me basically)

Most do NOT put PB in the fridge.

Question: When you count reps during workouts do you count up (1 to 10) or down (10 to 1)?

I usually do down. But when it’s something like 15 or 25 I count up to 5 and then I count down.

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      I usually count up (1 to x). But sometimes to vary it up I count backwards. For some reason, it’s less tiring switching every once in a while.

      I count up…always up. I like hearing the high numbers…makes me feel “strong?”
      I get why you keep that stuff out of the fridge. I love sriracha, its amazing but I couldn’t keep it out of the fridge. Maybe I should try it…it could be the new trend! Room temp hot sauce for everyone!

      I do the same as far as counting reps. If it’s a low number I’ll count down. If it’s a higher number I will usually count up halfway and then count down…and hope I don’t confuse myself! Lol

      I like to count up and then down for the last few. Or I switch it up and count up for a whole set then down for the next to keep my mind guessing a bit.

      Let’s try this again… With the correct spelling of ketchup. 🙂

      Ketchup does not belong in the fridge! Why would I want cold ketchup on hot food? Yuck! BUT… My sriracha is in the fridge only because I’ve run out of room in the pantry. Otherwise, it’d be in the pantry, too… Next to my ketchup… And PB! 🙂
