I woke up to a little more snow this morning, wishing I was 10 years old and school would be cancelled. I still don’t want to be a grown up.
I made an awesome tropical smoothie to go with breakfast:
-ice water
-orange juice
-frozen banana
-vanilla extract
-cake batter protein powder
It tasted an orange julius + gave me 2 servings of fruit.
I am super excited because my hubby won 2 tickets to a sneak peek of Sherlock Holmes tonight!
We are going to see the movie and go out to dinner at PF Changs or Bravo. We never have dates on weeknights with work + commuting + gym taking up most of our time. It will be really fun!
What is your favorite muscle group to work? I love back and triceps. I tend to do mostly full body and upper/lower splits, but if I ever do body part splits, I live for back & triceps day!
25 Days of Workouts
WORKOUT #17 – BACK & TRICEPS
All exercises are 4 sets of 12
Pullups + Rear delt flyes
Seated row + Overhead triceps extension
Lat Pulldown + Triceps Dips
Front Pulldown + Triceps pushdown
Pushups
Try to do all exercises with no (minimal) rest in between, besides when you are moving to the next exercise. I do 4 sets of the first group, then move on to the second group, and so on.
I love having a strong back, and it is a muscle that many women tend to unintentionally ignore. But it looks so sexy in a backless dress.

I’m not sure what I like to workout. I guess upper body is appealing because I feel it “shows” better. Really I’m a cardio person at heart.
And I’m so jealous of those movie tickets! It looks great. I hate when movies come out on Christmas because I can never go see them on that day!
I love when people drink smoothies from fancy glasses! I actually never strength train, but something tells me that it would probably help me out in life…
I love working out my arms and back, though I think I get the most benefit from working out my legs. I wish I could spend an extra half hour every day on strength training to just to get it all in!
oh i love that workout
i did back and biceps this morning! i think that’s my fav. i used to hateee lifting legs but now i’m starting to love it 
have fun on date night girl!
So jealous of the free tickets! Enjoy the movie!
I love a good leg workout!
Have fun on your date night!
I like back and triceps too. How did you get the cute cupcake on the browser tab?
Where do you get cake batter protein powder?!?! It sounds amazing!!!!
What brand is your cake batter protein powder?
I can’t wait for Sherlock Holmes to come out. A great cast and a great director, it’s sure to be a good flick.
Great workout!
Enjoy the movie! I havent been to a movie in theaters in 4+ yrs. That’s right, since when I was pregnant. Enjoy girl b/c if you ever have kids, movies are like wayyyyy on the back burner. If I gave up my food blog reading I could probably swing in though
Salted hot choc? Id skip the salt and add extra of your BFFs baileys & Godiva
The tropical smoothie = yummy! funny thing is there are sooo many for me to choose from here, that i’ve got toooooo many choices and can’t pick. either of the alcoholic or non alcoholikc drink variety! LOL
Have fun on your date. I love working my abs and arms:) But all workouts are WONDERFUL!
I love Orange Julius, so I’ll have to try this recipe out! I’ve been starting my day with Bolthouse smoothies, but if I can make these myself, and they taste good, I’m in!
Have fun at the movie! I love back workouts! I also love working my triceps.
I love working back and chest (not on the same day). I was wondering if you had a philosophy on doing push/pull splits, since back and tris are opposite. My husband has me do back with bis, chest with tris/shoulders. Any ideas on whether this is better or not?
i love pf changss.. & that fruit smoothie sounds really good
Cake batter protein powder – ummmmm yummmmmm!!!!
So, this was a really long time ago.. but my two areas that I love to work the most (because they’re the hardest for me to get toned!) would be triceps and adductors! a.k.a. arm jiggle, and the nice fatty area that supports my enormous badonkadonk!
