Your body hears everything your mind says.  STAY POSITIVE!  There is no truer statement!  If you guys could just hear what goes on in my head while I work out...I try to just go blank and focus on the music on my IPod and that helps tremendously - especially while running!  I am very proud of myself with my running yesterday.  I did NOT want to run on my first day back to exercising, but did it anyway.  I also did not want to keep getting back on my treadmill, but I did!  It was really hard for me and I pushed through - YAY!!  If you could have seen my face - I don't think it's been that red in a long time.  I was so sweaty and hot, but felt so good afterwards.

So, you all know I follow CaliFit Mamas and CrossFit Brand X's workouts on the internet.  I also look at another site, CrossFit White Head, and I keep forgetting to post their workouts, so starting tomorrow I'll be posting them too.  I pretty much pick and choose which one I want to do and I try to do the one that sounds the most fun or most challenging to me.  I'm not posting today's workout from them because I'm behind a day this week on my workouts and I believe they did "Kelly" yesterday, which is a running workout.  I really don't like to do running workouts on consecutive days.  I just feel like my body needs that little bit of break to recover.  Speaking of which, my butt was a little achy last night, but I was the sorest in my back and upper arms.  The soreness is gone in my legs and butt this morning, but is still there in my back.  Reverse pull-ups apparently did a number on me yesterday!  lol

CaliFit Mamas:

   15-12-9

      Dumbbell thrusters, 20 lbs

      Push-ups

Brand X:

   21-15-9-3

      Front Squats, 45-55 lbs

      Sit-ups

My plan right now is to combine both workouts and do the following:

   21-15-9-3

      Dumbbell thrusters, 20 lbs

      Push-ups

      Front Squats, 45-55 lbs

      Sit-ups

I'll start off using 50 lbs on the front squats, but will reduce if I need to.  I think I've tried to do 50 lbs before and have only been able to do a few reps, so hopefully I can do it.  Y'all wish me luck!

******************************
9:52 - WHAT a workout!  That was intense!!  I did 21-15-9-3 of:

*Dumbbell thrusters w/24 lbs - no breaks at all for these - YAY!!
*Front squats w/50 lbs
    - On the 21 reps, I did:  6, 7, 8 - thought I'd have to drop the weight, but decided not to since I was    able to complete 21 reps, knowing the other rounds were with less reps.
    - On 5 reps, I did:  7, 8
    - No breaks on 9 reps - YAY!
    - No breaks on 3 reps - double YAY!
*Push-ups - I had to stretch it out every 6 or 7 push-ups, except on the 9 and 3 reps!
*Sit-ups - NO breaks - YAY!!!

I'm so glad I stuck with the 50 lbs on the front squats and extremely proud of my thrusters and sit-ups!  I've gotten so much better on those!  I think I would have done better with push-ups if I hadn't been sore still from yesterday's reverse pull-ups.  Damn you, reverse pull-ups!  lol

Time to chill and get ready for tomorrow's workout!  :)
