75 and sunny

It's 7 degrees here in Boston. And I haven't put on a jacket the entire time I've been here.  Think I have super-human warming powers?  Nope.  My work is connected to my hotel and I haven't been outside in three days.  :) I don't think I've ever felt 7 degrees.  I'm tempted to peek outside just to see what it feels like....but then again...it's 75 and sunny in my room.  Why mess with perfection warmth?

Thumbs up for heat! (I have a creepy thumb!)

Last night I tackled a hotel gym full body workout.

The gym was pretty quiet, so I was able to hop from machine to machine in a super-set fashion.  If your gym is busier you can change up some of the moves to dumbbell exercises that work the same muscle group.

Superset #1 x 2
Leg Extension Machine	15	75lbs
Leg Curl Machine	15	70lbs
Shoulder Press Machine	12	30lbs
Bench step up with lateral DB raise	12 each leg	12lb DB, 10lb DB
Superset #2 x 2
Straight legged deadlift w dumbbells	15	25lb DB
Flat DB chest press on bench	12	25lb DB
DB single arm row	12 each arm	25lb DB
DB reverse fly	12,10	10lb DB
Superset #3 x 2
Lat Pulldown Machine	12	60lbs
Tricep dips off bench	15
Double hammer curl	10	15lb DB, 10lb DB
Abs x2
Stability ball situps – hands behind head	25
Stability Ball Jackknife	15

You do each "superset" all the way through and then repeat.  If you have any questions about the exercises just comment and I can elaborate or you can catch me on Twitter.  The ab jackknife if a great move to work your lower abs.

Last night I decided against room service and went the takeout/delivery route.  Good call! It saved me money and I ended up with leftovers to eat today.  I ordered teriyaki chicken with brown rice and added steamed broccoli.

Today also happens to be Sunday so I have some meal planning to do.  Do you plan your meals ahead?  I'm mentally planning and I'll do the real thing on the plane tonight.

AND....my first vlog debuts tomorrow!  :) Exciting!

Do you cut coupons or plan your meals on Sunday?

Love and big lifts,
