So much good stuff to share! There’s so much goodness that I’m making a list. (I’m not checking it twice, but you’re more than welcome to read it twice.)
1. At yesterday’s company party, which took pace away from the office (thank goodness), I turned down cookies, pizza, brownies, and more. Woohoo! I did have a few beers though, so I definitely indulged. Yes… it was well worth it.
2. I have fun weekend plans. We’re having another couple over for wine and lasagna tonight. They’re bringing their baby, so perhaps I should say wine, lasagna, and Gerber Graduates. Tomorrow is a date with the running buddy and a couples’ dinner at a friend’s place. She’s making chicken chili – winning!
3. I started a new workout this week. I think it’s a keeper due to the triceps soreness and the great run from yesterday. ***Tiff’s Tricep Tricks Coming Tomorrow***
***The last two exercises on the upper-body days should be quite challenging. Of course, you should lift significant weight for all exercises, but these should elevate your heart rate a bit too.
I’ll probably do this routine for about 5-6 weeks, though I normally follow routines for 4-5. I will change the leg routine as-needed. (All this running isn’t making me lose weight everywhere, but it’s certainly coming off the booty. I may need more bench step-ups in the near future.)
I will also do a different fitness workout every week. I skipped it this week since I wasn’t feeling well. In the coming weeks I’ll opt for my aerobics workout, a tabata routine, a boot camp workout, a plate routine, or something along those lines.
If you join in with me, be sure to post progress pics on your blog, leave me a comment, or shoot me an email with your thoughts (lovesweatandbeers at yahoo.com). I enjoy learning which workouts you guys like… or don’t like.
Have a great Friday! What’s on tap for your weekend?
(Oh – and as you know, I’m no trainer. Do what your doctor says you can do.)

Nice routine! I love how you lay out a plan and stick to it for a few weeks! My workouts are always so random!!!
December 16, 2011 at 7:44 am
Awesome routine! I love it when my triceps are sore. And I love those step-ups that you do! They definitely work the bootay

Oooo great routine! I’m putting together my routine for the weekend/upcoming week and may steal a few moves from you! I’ve been sick the last few days, so I haven’t gotten a workout in since Monday, which is horrible because I have been eating like crazy (takeout since I’m laid up and my husband “surprised” me with meals from my fave restaurants – aka, didn’t want to cook?).
December 16, 2011 at 8:20 am
Sounds like my kind of work gathering
I need to do more step ups too.
December 16, 2011 at 8:22 am
I’m looking forward to your triceps workout. They are by far my weakest muscle group. Tonight my boyfriend and I are going to drive around and look at Christmas lights. I am looking forward to a low key weekend.
December 16, 2011 at 9:34 am
It sounds like you have a fun weekend planned!!!! I have lots of Christmas parties to go to so I’m excited
I’m impressed that you can stick to a routine for that long! Mine tend to last a couple of weeks and then I’m bored
hehe

I’d be excited too; I always get pumped for parties. Have fun!

nice new workout. I am hoping to get back into some sort of regular workout plan starting this weekend. Doctor and physical therapist say “listen to your body”. So I can do what I want in moderation! Woot!
I wish I was as strong as you in turning down treats! I am usually pretty good, but yesterday, oh my. haha.
Ugly sweater party tomorrow! Also hoping to get a few runs outside this weekend, it has been super nice here recently.. It is December right?

You look awesome! And congrats on keeping in check at your party, definitely not easy. We have Scott’s tomorrow night and I cannot wait! I’m going all out and getting my hair and nails done (just a cut, color, and blowout).
December 16, 2011 at 3:25 pm
You’re gonna look and feel so hot. He’s going to think Christmas came early!
December 16, 2011 at 10:59 am

December 16, 2011 at 11:18 am
Sounds like a good night! Good job on resisting @ the Christmas party.
I’m gonna sip on some bubbly tonight w/ a girlfriend — excited!
December 16, 2011 at 12:16 pm
I find it necessary to indulge in the booze a bit at work holiday parties. It’s the only way to get through them…. lol
Have a great weekend, my dear! I’m “trying” to keep it low key. But you just never know at this time of year…
December 16, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Yeah, good luck with that!
December 16, 2011 at 2:05 pm
You look hawt in that pic! Triceps are an area I am always trying to tone, I want to try this!! Wine and running buddies, does it get any better?
December 16, 2011 at 2:54 pm
The routine looks pretty awesome! Have you ever considered becoming a certified trainer because I feel like you’ve got some great stuff
December 16, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Thanks Luv! I would enjoy training others, but I fear it would make me ovoid the gym for my own workouts if I viewed it as “work.” I dunno… guess I’m odd like that. Haha
December 16, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Wine and lasagna..sounds like the perfect night!
Have a great weekend!
I am going to an ugly sweater Christmas party this weekend..looking forward to it!
December 16, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Fun! Take pictures
December 16, 2011 at 5:48 pm
I cannot wait until the tricep workout. Today I had a huge dose of reality related to my upper body strength – its bad!
December 16, 2011 at 7:08 pm
Your new routine looks great! I really should make a routine like that and stick to it so that I’m not making up my mind at the last minute about what to do at the gym.
December 16, 2011 at 7:20 pm
hot damn, look at that bod
December 16, 2011 at 7:46 pm
Happy Friday
December 16, 2011 at 7:52 pm
My weekend = making coffee & pouring beers for ten hours a day at the ski resort I work at! Laaaaaaame.
December 17, 2011 at 9:11 am
Great workout! Not going lie, when I first started running, the first thing that got smaller was my booty. Haha. Lunges and squats are my friend. Have a good one!
December 17, 2011 at 11:20 am
I love your workouts!! And that you stick w/ them for 5-6 weeks… awesome!
Have a fun weekend!! =)

I don’t know, skipping cookies doesn’t seem like a GOOD thing.
