Captured

The last few days have been super busy!  I feel like I've been running in circles.  I am ready for some time off and time with my girls! <3  Looking forward to the weekend!

Today was my first day in the gym without the Punisher....I miss him!  I jokingly complain about his training demands, but I miss having him around in the gym.  My workout tonight (I went late 8:30 to 9:55) was all about legs:

Brina's Leg Workout

15 minutes on the elliptical to warm up my legs - just did the fat burning mode.
5 minutes of stretching

Jump Squats 2 Sets/3-5 reps w/30 sec. rest between sets.
Leg Press (150lbs) 3 Sets/20 reps w/30 sec. rest between sets.
Leg extensions (90lbs)  3 Sets/25 reps
superset with Leg Curls (just means no rest -between sets just rotate between leg extensions and Leg Curls) - 3 Sets/25 reps
Romanian deadlifts 3 Sets/25 reps w/30 sec. rest between sets
Standing calf raises 3 Sets/10 reps
superset with Seated Calf raises (150lbs) 3 Sets/30 reps

15 minutes on the elliptical
10 minutes on the bike
10 minutes of stretching/cool down

It was a pretty good workout...I'm glad that I talked myself into going...instead of going to bed.  The captured part came in when I was trying to leave the gym.  Our gym is a 24 hour gym and after 8pm you have to use the key to gain entrance.  There were about 8 people working out when I got there and by the time I was done there were about 6 people and they were witnesses to my being captured.  I try to walk out the door and I couldn't get out....I could not open the door!  I was so embarrassed!  I had to get someone to open the door....it just has a handle on it that you push to go out....I just couldn't get the door open.  I know I should spend most of my time in the gym...but being locked in was not my idea of a good time!  The worst part about it is that there is a camera pointed at the door...so the gym manager is going to get a good laugh at watching me try and try to push open the door! 

In other news...the Punisher made it to Ft. Pickett (in Virginia) today...2+ weeks without him....I think that I am lost already :(  I'm so good at being a non needy wife, but there are times that you just miss being around a person....it is going to be a long 2 weeks.  I am also missing Jaylin and Hunter - they are staying with Grandma during the work week....I'm looking forward to seeing them on Friday!  I must admit though that it is nice to have a quiet and clean house!  I'll bring them home for a few days and then I'm off for a gathering with some of my favorite girls!   :)  I love time with my friends!   It's going to be a great time! 

I'm off to download a few pics from my trial run with the bathing suit...I may post a preview....don't worry I'll warn you!

That makes me laugh. Not in a mean way, in the that so would have happened to me way. :)

Wow! What a workout. You make my little P90 seem like a joke!

Can't wait for Sunday. SO MUCH FUN!
