Week 4 December 27 - December 29

To ensure we didn't hang onto the weight we may or may not have gained over the holidays, our lovely trainer had us start Week 4 with:

Monday - Day 14
5 stair runs
50 squats
50 push ups
50 alt v ups each leg (100 total?)
50 lunges
5 stair runs
Fucking seriously.  I thought I was going to die, but I did it minus 2 of the stair runs.  I'm getting stronger and better with the stuff he's leaving us.  My neck hurts, so I need to watch my form on the alt v ups and sit ups.

Tuesday - Day 15
1 stair run
5 burpees
10 sit ups
*10 rounds
Holy crap!  First, burpees are the devils creation, I'm sure of it.  I made it to round 7 on this one.  I had to stop and use my inhaler, so I did not complete this workout.  I was in tears just laying on the mat wishing I could calm down.  Yes, I was still smoking at this point.  And like the masochist I apparently am, I went home and beat myself up for not finishing.  mmmhmm

Wednesday - Day 16
5 stair runs
25 push ups
5 stair runs
50 squats
*2 rounds
Struggled with the stairs but made 19 out of the 20 assigned.  I added 20 sit ups before each stair run just to give myself a little extra time to breathe before going up those damn stairs.

This was a short week because I took a vacation day and then the holiday weekend to go visit my family.  I felt bad leaving Cheryl on the following day (Thursday) but really?  I was just glad to get outta the Ville for the weekend!
