Happy Mother's Day and what tomorrow brings

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, I truly think that all of you need more than just a day and a card for all that you do. Today my wife got up early like she always does and went  to the store to get food for the week so that she would have the day to spend with us. Once she came back she gave me time to get my workout in while my daughter was still sleeping and even went and got her when she woke up while I still had about 25 minutes of workout left. Speaking of workouts, today was legs and back and I did all that I could to add some intensity to it again, this time I  added weights to the groucho walk and to the three way kicks. Next week I am going to try and add the weights to the dead lift squats and if that goes well then even add a weight to the super skaters after recovery week. For the most part my legs felt OK all day long but now that the night is coming to and end they are starting to get a little tender. If they are sore in the morning I am thinking it is going to really make Yoga a challenge which I am OK with but it does make me a little timid about it. Needless to say since it was mothers day today I didn't really bother tracking my calories and didn't stick to my nutrition plan 100% we went to a brunch today and for the most part I stayed in the plan but did go off the path by having a seven layer bar for desert and having a few pieces of bacon and sausage as well. All of it was in moderation so I don't feel bad about it. It is OK to take care of some cravings every now and then in order to stay on your diet the rest of the time. Keep an eye out tomorrow for how Yoga goes the day after legs and back I am sure it is going to be interesting.

Part 3 of 3
Working out at the end of the, I have not seen a whole lot on this timing for workout out but here is a rational that I have come up with. Everywhere you read talks about rest being the most important part of a fitness routine because that is when the body works the hardest to repair damage from a hard workout. If you workout at the end of the day and give yourself the proper post workout nutrition I suppose it will give the body the fuel it needs to kick it into high gear and really repair those muscles you have a pounding to during your workout. Again, I have not seen anything on this out on the web it is just an assumption that I am making based on related articles I have seen.
