I went to Panama City with A and some of our friends. We were mostly on the beach tanning, playing lacrosse, volleyball, paddle boarding, and skim boarding, but we also experienced the nightlife. We went to some great restaurants like Mike's, Rum Runners, and Thomas'. Overall it was a great trip and completely worth the early morning drive. I can't wait to vacation again with our friends maybe some time in Summer or Fall.

Same cardio interval I've been doing all week and weighted abs tonight.
This will be my last workout before the trip because tomorrow night A has a lacrosse game and I will be sitting in the stands late into the night cheering. Ab workout: 20 45lb. plate v ups x2 20 Russian twists with 25lb db (dumbbell) x2 40 Bent over obliques 25lb db (20 each side) 20 normal oblique crunches on dip machine (10 each side) total: 100 crunches Shoulders were fun tonight, but I also added some weighted abs since I have been neglecting those for like a month. I know that's awful and my cardio was just my usual interval of 7.0 and 2.5 I really like it!!!
Fitness Barbie Workout: http://www.fitnessbarbielaurengleisberg.com/2012/09/shoulders-98.html Today I still focused on cardio, but I was mostly focused on weighted abs
because the beach is now four days away. My cardio was just interval training for fifteen minutes one minute on, one minute off switching between 7.0 and 2.5 speeds. I made up my own weighted ab routine and it is written below: 20 normal crunches x2 20 side to side obliques (10 each side) 20 weighted leg ups 10 oblique crunches on the dip machine (5 each side) 20 normal crunches on dip machine 40 normal crunches on ab crunch machine *I did this once through and did not repeat because my total number of crunches added up to 130 and I figured that was enough for my first weighted ab workout, plus I still needed to do cardio. I just worked out normal, so there wasn't anything special about my workout this week. I am just trying to workout as much as I can before beach week, because I want to look good for my honey!!!! Cardio was intervals that were the same as chest and tricep 3/23.
Fitness Barbie Workout: http://www.fitnessbarbielaurengleisberg.com/2012/10/back-biceps-1017.html I did chest and tricep and I tried to do push ups, but was only able to do two sets of ten because I waited until after everything else to do them. For cardio I did ten minutes of one minute at the speed of 7 and then one minute of 2.5 speed intervals. I have been slacking on cardio this week because I love lifting, but hate cardio now. A told me that I need to be better about my cardio because I will start looking like a body builder if I don't start running more. UGHHHH!!!!!
Fitness Barbie Workout: http://www.fitnessbarbielaurengleisberg.com/2012/10/chest-triceps-1016.html I did a blow out on my hair at home for the first time. I didn't want to
have to dry and then straighten it because with my thick hair that is a lot of work. A was also waiting on me to get ready, so we could go eat lunch so there was no need in making him starve any longer than I had to. I first did a rough dry, which is where you flip your hair every which way until its almost straw dry with a blow dryer. Then, your divide your hair into three sections top, left, and right. The top sections needs to go from the front and end in a point halfway down the back of your head. Lastly, you just take a round brush and curl your ends either under or out then pin them like its around an imaginary roller. Once all sections are pinned hit with cool air until hair feels cold and take pins out. This was easy to do and you can also do curls instead of my hair being straight your just have to brush through the hair with the brush, wrap it up, and when your unwind it twist it away from your face while hitting it with heat. You'll want to pin these up like a pin curl. I will probably try curling and flipping backwards methods when my hair is longer. I did legs today and went as hard as I could because I am leaving in less than a week for the beach and I want those to look good in my bikini!!!! I
am squatting 75 pounds now and am so excited. A and I were joking that pretty soon I will be able to squat him, but not likely cause he's made of complete muscle and in the upper one-hundreds due to his muscle mass. I still have a long way to go, but I'll get there! Fitness Barbie Workout: http://www.fitnessbarbielaurengleisberg.com/2012/10/legs-1015.html Since spring break is in two weeks for me and summer is just around the corner for others I thought I would share some beach/pool hairstyles to protect your part. One summer I decide to wear my hair down part exposed and all without sunscreen because I did not want to spray it and risk looking like I had white hairs sprouting. BIG MISTAKE! Not only was my head red like a tomato, but I also had to deal with the peeling, which comes with every burn, that looked like I had horrible dandruff. SOOOO EMBARRASSING!! So here are the following hairstyles that I rock to protect my part: 1. The Ponytail with a Poof- It's a classic. Not only does it protect your part, but it also adds some volume to your hair preventing you from looking like a drowned rat and elongating your face. (Can also be modified by adding a headband without a poof or a side ponytail) 2. The Bun- messy or not is your choice and may be decided based on your level of expertise as well as limited materials. 3. Braids for days- I like braids, because they pull less on your scalp when wet, which is good for people with thick hair, like me, and hair growth/health in general. 4. The Floppy Hat- I am in love with my floppy beach hat! If you do not want to do these above hairstyles, then this is a great alternative. Not only does it protect your part, but it also protects your face in case it got to much sun the day before. When I go to the beach our typical day exists of going out on the beach all day and then getting dressed up for dinner. I like to curl my hair because it is easier with my naturally wavy hair. Then, when I wake up the next day to go to the beach I just dump my head upside down, hair spray it, and flip back over placing my hat on top. (Hats can be worn with straight hair as well, but I think a little movement in the hair looks better with the floppy hat specifically) This outfit can be a date night or casual outfit. I love my heels and would live in them, but when I am doing field experiences some schools do not
allow tall heels. Right now I can only wear my heels on weekends and days I am not at my field experience. My outfit consists of a tan leather jacket, a long sleeve, black, v neck shirt (it was cold), skinny blue jeans, and nude pumps. My make up is my normal everyday brown smokey eye look and my hair is a ponytail with a tall poof in the front to add height as well as go with the theme of "CLASSY ROCKER." This outfit can also be worn with your hair down either straight or curly. Lastly, when buying a women's leather jacket make sure it is tailored in order to accentuate your curves not hid them. Hiding curves will cause your to look heavier than you are or man-like with a rectangular body. |
