Another long day at work 7am-10pm. Even with that I wanted to hit the gym for a full body workout knowing I may not workout next to Saturday. I'm shooting for Friday but I'm working 8am-10pm tomorrow so don't know if I can swing that. I actually almost skipped today's workout. When I woke up I felt groggy almost like I was hungover but I know I wasn't. I probably was or is dehydrated. Since it's cold I'm not drinking enough water. I've had the same 1/2 gallon of water with me since Monday and I haven't filled it up yet. I do drink my protein shakes but that isn't the same.

My music tastes vary but are limited to current pop music mostly with a preference for female singers/rappers/groups. So I like to use FitRadio and play their playlists.
Woke Up in The Green! But actaully felt groggy and uses my snooze alarm. I almost skipped the gym this morning. Once I was up and about I felt better. Todays workout was a full body easy to follow workout. Just DB’s. pic.twitter.com/g6ZVRouHMs

I am going to try my best to at least do a Peloton class on my bike at home on Friday before work. Tomorrow will be sort of a rest day with just my regular daily work duties but no gym time.

Today was Chest and Triceps since I did Back and Biceps three times in the last week. Opps! No cardio today either besides 10 minute warmup. This morning here in Florida it is/was 30F and the gym was an ice box this morning. I should have done more cardio this morning but it is CHEST DAY!
It’s Monday so it’s National Chest Day. Chest Workout it is. It’s 30F outside and feels like 50F inside. pic.twitter.com/jO9tG2Ysrn

This week workouts will be hit and miss but mostly miss. At work we went from being short staffed to being very short staffed. So when my center has no one to work the shift I gotta suck it up and work it. I usually go to bed at 8pm but this week I'll be working past that on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Therefore it will be hard to get up at 4am if I don't get home to after 10pm. This is as of today and I gotta hope someone picks up a shift or two this week for me. Otherwise my gym going will be today (Monday), Wednesday and possibly Sunday. Saturday I'm working open to close so 6:45am to 10pm. Ugh! It'll all work out in the end. Just gotta suck it up buttercup for this week.
It was LEG DAY! Mainly as I have the whole day to recover from it. Did a long warmup power walking up rolling hills, a few PVC Bar Good Mornings and OH Squats.
Legs Legs Legs! Will I be able to walk tomorrow? Maybe! Also I dropped a spray bottle on the gym crush as I missed placing it on top of the towels. In other news I’m joining the witness relocation program. pic.twitter.com/TqCidi1o7B

Then 30 minutes Hills and HITT on the tread. I did wimp out and walk the hills.
