Sweat today, smile tomorrow.

Sweat today, smile tomorrow.  Actually, I think this should be "Sweat today, smile today and tomorrow!"  I don't know why, but I really do feel better after working out and it's just a mood booster when I finish a workout that was really, really hard!  It makes me happy to know that I did it!  :)

Not a lot going on today, so this will more than likely be a short and sweet blog.  I am spending the day with my pregnant daughter - pedicures, baby shopping, and lunch!  I can't wait for that little girl to get here next month - so excited!!

I would love to do White Head's workout today, but I seriously doubt I'll be back in time for a longer workout, so I'll probably do both CaliFit and Brand X today.  Normally, 21-15-9 workouts don't take longer than 5 minutes or so - surely I can fit that in!  I will definitely do White Head's workout this week - I'm still trying to improve my running.  I am determined to run better by the end of summer - so I'm making Labor Day my goal time.  Right now, I can run 400 meters without stopping (but forcing myself to do it).  I'd love to be able to run farther than that - should I say double that?  Hmm...I'm afraid to commit to it - I hate to fail!  Okay...I'm going to compromise and say 600 meters.  I will be able to run 600 meters without stopping by Labor Day.  Time to get with it, huh?  But, here's the kicker - starting "tomorrow" - I know, I know - tomorrow, tomorrow - but for real.  I'll do it.  :)

So they said, "Anything you say can and will be held against you." So I said, "Rich Froning".

So they said, "Anything you say can and will be held against you."  So I said, "Rich Froning." - LOVE this!  I mean, c'mon...have you SEEN Rich Froning?  Hot, hot, hot!!  ;)

What a wet, wet, wet week/weekend we have had in Georgia!!  I actually let Honey-Buns pay someone to come and cut my grass last Thursday morning because it was so tall and thick and wet!  You won't believe how much it has grown since then - which is really crazy because we haven't had but maybe an hour or two of sunshine all weekend!  And guess what?  More rain is coming!  This is the wettest summer I can recall having in a LONG time.  Of course, all of this rain meant no racing this weekend which was a bummer because they were going to do a two-night deal - with everyone qualifying on Friday night, then racing on Saturday.   They've postponed that until Labor Day weekend, but still.  So, it seemed like we had two Sundays this weekend - very strange!

I'm doing the CaliFit Mamas workout today and possible the 5k Week 2 training run - run 2 minutes, walk 1 minute for 7 rounds.  I really need to improve my running and it's obviously not going to happen with me just thinking about it.  Although, wouldn't that be awesome if you could just "think" about running faster and it happens?  lol - I wish....

******************************

241 - WOW, oh WOW!  I don't know why this sounded so easy and simple, but it was FAR from it!  AND, I don't know why I thought I'd want to do a run afterwards either!  Guess what?  No running for me today - I am sucking wind from the workout as it is!!  My second round was the best one.  Round 3 was the worst!  I didn't really keep up with how many reps of each exercise I did because I knew I wouldn't remember and I didn't have time to write them down, so I just started at "1" from the beginning until the end.  I'm guessing that's how you were supposed to do it anyway.  Well, I do know what my burpees were since they were first each round - round 1 was 13 burpees, round 2 was 12, and round 3 was 8.  I know, right?  A big drop from the others, but I was so tired!! I did not do pull-ups - I subbed push-ups instead.

Round 1 - 84

Round 2 - 94

Round 3 - 63

Another great workout!  :)

It's supposed to be hard.

It's supposed to be hard.  If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it.  The "hard" is what makes it great! - This is true, but sometimes (for me, anyway) you don't realize how "great" it is until the next day when you're reflecting on it!  I really don't appreciate some of my workouts until the next day or even further out.  Don't get me wrong, there are some that I get so excited over right away and start smiling before I'm even finished - but there are some that I do and I think "meh", then a few days later I thing "wow!  I can't believe I did that in that amount of time!"  I need to appreciate all of my workouts and be proud of each and every one because I DID THEM!  It is super easy to come up with a reason NOT to work out, but I always know in the back of my mind, that I will feel better if I just go ahead and do them.  I'm not very good at pushing myself (especially with running workouts) and I'm trying to improve on that.  Take yesterday for instance, even though I did not run like I had planned on (2 minute on/1minute off), and even though I could have just cut out the running altogether, I DID continue to run some!  I keep forgetting that I also wore the weighted vest while on the treadmill yesterday, and it was at a 2 incline, so I really should be more proud of that than I am.  See...I just proved my point from above!  I think before, I would have just said "fuck it" and walk the remainder, but I was determined to improve my time and knew the only way to do that was to run more.  So...even though I mostly walked, I still threw in some running.  I'm not where I want to be, but I am getting closer!

I will say, my abs are extremely sore today - even more so than yesterday!  GHD sit-ups are killer!!  My thighs are okay, they were very sore last night but not so much this morning - yay!

   *I added a 1/2 mile walk on the treadmill, no incline - time 10:38

You can probably guess that I am NOT doing CaliFit Mamas today!  lol - I also am not doing Brand X. I can't do chest to bar pull-ups, much less weighted ones and I cannot do handstand walks, but I could attempt to do a handstand (using the wall, of course!), as well as attempt to tuck sit or L-sit, but my times would be so sucky.  I should at least try to do those things today, so we'll see.  I'd love to do White Head's workout, but not sure how I will react to my treadmill today.  I'm trying to stay positive in my head.  I noticed that if I go up there and just do it, it's easier than if I think about it or dread it.  So...positive thoughts because I know the only way to improve my running is to do it!  I wouldn't mind doing the workout from September 25th, my second one ever!  Do you see that treadmill time?  And that was starting on 2.5 speed and increasing the speed every minute until I reached 3.0 speed.  Then, I only did that for 3 minutes before declining it back down!  Half a mile took me 10:38 - wow, I was so out of shape!  I really would like to do White Head's workout, so we'll see once I get upstairs.  Keep your fingers crossed!

*************************
22:05 -   I did the White Head workout today and all I have to say is this...you'd think after running yesterday with a weighted vest on that today would be a breeze without a weighted vest, but nope...not at all!  I ran the entire 400 meters of the first round (3:30, exactly) on my treadmill (yes, I used the safety clip today!) I had to use my mat for push-ups because I did "girl" push-ups and guess what was touching?   Yep, my boo-booed knee!  I did not count backwards on this round with the "other" exercises and could tell a difference - I did 9 push-ups, then made it to 17, then to 21.  I did all 21 squats without stopping, as well as all 5 burpees - progress!  On round 2, I ran and walked - bringing my treadmill time to 7:49 (4:19 on this round).  No problem/stopping with push-ups, squats or burpees!  I did the same thing on the third round - running and walking, bringing my treadmill time to 11:35 (3:46).  I assumed the CrossFit recovery position because I couldn't BREATHE!!  By the time I sat back up, my arms were covered in sweat!!  What a great, hard workout!  :)

I tried to do the tests for Brand X - pretty funny.  I cannot do chest-to-bar pull-ups, but I did attempt to do a pull-up and can only bend my arm, so maybe getting off of the floor an inch or two.  I attempted to L-sit, that didn't work so I tried to tuck-sit...nope, nothing there either.  I also attempted to wall walk - and guess what?  Improvement!  This was in a workout a month or so ago (maybe longer) - anyway, I attempted to do this and could not even get my feet up on the wall, much less walk anywhere!  Well, today I not only got my feet on the wall but I was able to move 1 arm back, I tried and tried to force the other arm to go back as well, but it was not happening.  This was very hard on my wrists, so I got down and moved my mat so my hands were on the mat and that made it better.  I still could only do one arm, but hey - that's more than I could do before!  :)  Snatches are 25 lbs - I only have dumbbells and that's the highest for one dumbbell.  I need to get something heavier, maybe invest in a bar and some light weights - nothing big, I don't want to be bulky - just toned.

Great workout, Jen and Gina!  :)

It's July 4th!

It's July 4th!  The only day of the year you might see a person look up from their cellphone!  - I changed this to say "person" instead of "young person" because it's not just the young'uns that are doing this nowadays.  Personally, I keep my cellphone in my vehicle.  I hate whenever I'm out and about and people are constantly on their phone - there's just no privacy and alone time anymore.  I don't even check my cellphone messages - I just delete them.  I'll see that someone called and call them back, but honestly?  I don't like cellphones, just for emergencies.  There are times when I just want to be left completely alone and I actually enjoy driving in my car just jamming to the radio and taking in the scenery.  I don't need to talk to someone constantly - especially when I'm shopping, which is supposed to be something to enjoy.  I've seen too many people throw their money at cashiers while talking on their phones - it's just rude.  I even have a rule for anyone that eats with me - no phones at the table, period.  Unless we get to talking about something and we need to "google", then we'll let a phone come out.  It's pretty funny to watch my kids to see who can pull their phone out the fastest!  But, after we find our answer the phone goes away.  Don't get me wrong, I love modern technology and do not like being disconnected from the internet for too long of a period, but I just think we can survive going to buy milk without having a conversation with someone who isn't there.  Enjoy the peace and quiet, people!  lol

I have to say it...my abs are SORE!  OMG - just sitting here moving around what little bit I am, I feel the twinges!  Also, my upper back around my shoulder blades are a little sore as well.  I think it's from the "boy" push-ups from the other day and the knees-to-elbows from yesterday.  WHAT a workout!  Today is not an easy day either, but that's okay.

      - Run 400 meters

      - 24 cleans

As much as I hate to say it, I'm going to do the Hero WOD, "Smykowski".  I will do the 5k training Week #2 thing - run 2 minutes, walk 1 minute for 7 reps.  After that, I will mostly walk (try to run some more) until I reach the 3.73 mile mark.  I will do this with the 8 lb vest that I have - it's not much, but it will do.  I'm sure I'll be begging for mercy before this is over, but it will be interesting to see how I do.  I know we ran a 6k once before for CaliFit Mamas, so I think I'll try to go back and see what my time was for that.  I know it was way over an hour, so hopefully I'll improve on that!  Also - I don't believe I will do the pull-up portion of the burpee/pull-ups.  My left elbow is still sore (as well as my upper back/shoulder area).  But, I will do the 60 burpees (I think).  I don't believe I'll wear my vest for the burpees, but who knows what will happen when I get upstairs to my workout room?  Y'all wish me luck!!

******************************

72:20 - WOW, oh WOW!   I keep saying "That was hard!", but I really, really, really mean it today!  That was harddddd!!!!  So, I did the 6k, which is 3.73 miles - I actually went all the way to 3.75 miles - and I did 30 burpees.  I did wear my vest the entire time on the treadmill - YAY!  I had an accident, though.  I went to step on the side of the treadmill with my left foot, so I could blow my nose, and I missed the side and landed on the floor which caused my right knee to go down on the treadmill.  Of course I don't have the safety pin attached (I know, I know) and I went to grab onto the bar to pull myself up, well...the front of the treadmill came up off of the floor, spilling my water bottle and knocking my Nook off.  Luckily, I kinda just rolled over to my left leg (which was already on the floor) and reached up to turn off the treadmill.  I had just finished up my 3.5 mile mark, so after Honey-Buns came running to my rescue, I got right back on the treadmill and finished up.  Of course, my treadmill time was reset (!), but I was right at (or pretty close to) the one-hour mark, so I added the time it took me to finish up the last quarter mile to 60 minutes.  It's not accurate, but pretty close.  I now have a boo-boo on my right knee where the treadmill and my pants took off some skin, and thought it would get in the way of burpees, but no such luck.  Apparently my knees don't touch the floor (or at least the part that was injured) when I do burpees.  Who knew?  lol  - Anyway, I'm glad I decided to do burpees - it only took my 5:15 to do 30 burpees and yes, I counted down for those.  It really is easier!

Treadmill time - 64:05, actual running/walking - I stopped once for 2 minutes while Honey-Buns replenished my water (before my boo-boo), and then again for another minute when I boo-boo'd. 

Total walking/running time with rests added:  67:05

Rest time after treadmill - 3 minutes

Burpees - 5:15

Total workout time:  75:20

I looked up and we did a 10k on January 21st, but I only did 4 miles of that on the treadmill and the rest was on my stationary bike.  It took me 71:50 to do 4 miles, so I definitely beat that time today!  :)

I was going to do the run 2/walk 1 thing, but just was not feeling it, so here's what I did:

Run 2 minutes

Walk 1 minute

Run 1.5 minutes

Walk 1 minute

Run 1 minute

Walk 1 minute

Run .5 minutes

Walk 1 minute

Run 1 minute

Walk 1 minute

Run 1 minute

Walk 1 mintue

Run 1 minute

Walk 1 minute

Run 1 minute

Walk 1 minute

Walked until I hit 1.5 miles, then I would run 1 minute every 1/4 mile and walk the rest all the way up until 3.75 miles, which was another 8 times.  

Total run time - 18 minutes - not great, but it's okay.  I wore my 8 lb vest the entire time, so I'm happy with my results.  I did not wear the vest while doing burpees though - no way, Jose!  I am exhausted and my feet are hot, hot, hot!  :)

Y'all have a good 4th!  We're waiting for the rain to clear out some, so we can grill some burgers and dogs!  

I become a happier person the more I workout.

I become a happier person the more I workout.  Yes, I do!  It's crazy, isn't it?  I'm generally a positive, happy, upbeat person anyway but I do have my bad days.  I tend to feel extremely guilty and bad whenever I don't workout, so I try to not skip any workouts - well...Monday through Friday anyway!  I've tried to do stuff on Saturday and Sunday, but it's just weird.  I get pretty exhausted when I work out and am pretty much ready to go to bed anywhere from 9:30 to 11:00 every night whenever I workout.  When we're racing on Saturday nights, we don't get home until around midnight-ish, so I can't workout on Saturdays during race season.  Sundays are usually the day that I do absolutely nothing.  I even try to go ahead and go to the store on Saturdays so I don't have to get out of my pj's on Sunday.  I don't know why, but if I don't get my Sunday "nothing" day it just seems like my week is off.  I guess I'll need to get over all of that because I plan on keeping my little Addy as much as possible once she gets here - I can't wait until August 27th!!

I was exhausted after yesterday's workout!  It really did kick my ass.  I'm happy to say that I'm not as sore as I thought I would be.  There are a few little twinges in my butt from running and squatting, but it's not really bad at all - surprising!  I'm still excited about being able to do "boy" push-ups!!  It makes me smile just to think about it!

I am choosing to do Brand X today, however I will tweak it just a little.  First, I'll do knees-to-elbows instead of chest to bar pull-ups.  I'll do some pull-ups after completing this workout, just to get some attempts in.  I've been doing "attempted" pull-ups and am getting better - I'm getting higher anyway!  I looked up some videos of GHD sit-ups and I believe I can use my weight bench for these.  I'll need to pull out my "chart of exercises" that came with the bench, but if I recall correctly this was one of them.  For those of you who do not know what GHD sit-ups are - you sit on some sort of bench, hook your feet in the little holder thingies (yeah, I know - I'm so technical here!),  lay back and do sit-ups.  One of the videos I watched was ridiculous!  This couple was doing a CrossFit workout that was burpees using this big (I'm mean tall, tall, tall) box jump, then they carried this heavy stone, then they did GHD sit-ups.  It was ridiculous how tall that box was!  They finished up by soaking in cold water.  Yikes!  I don't know if I'll ever be able to do that box jump they did - it was pretty impressive!  Then again, I don't know that I'll ever WANT to that box jump either - lol!!

*****************************
10:57 - WOO HOOOOO!!!  I set a personal goal of 10 minutes, so I'm pleased with what I did!  That was a hard, quick workout - but man....I am sweaty and breathing heavy!!!  Okay, so I'm thinking it wasn't too smart to change chest-to-bar pull-ups to knees-to-elbows.  I obviously wasn't thinking about those sit-ups and then turning around and doing k2e's.  WOW!  My abs are sore!  I'm so glad we were going "down" in reps instead of "up" each round.  I counted out all reps backwards - that really helps!  So...I did do the GHD sit-ups on my weight bench, but the way my bench is made, I could not hook just my feet and have straight legs.  I had to hook my feet under the thingies, then my knees went over another thingie, then I could lay back and do sit-ups.  I set my bench at a decline and it was very awkward when I first started, but I quickly realized I wasn't going to slide off of the bench onto my head and I just started knocking 'em out at that point!  VERY proud to say I could do ALL sets of box jumps without having to stop and take a breather!  My box is at 12" - it's a "step" at the highest setting, so I definitely need to get something a little bit bigger or find something to set my step on so that it will raise it up some.  Regardless, it was a tough workout and I'm glad I did it!  :)

I'm going to start listing what I listen to while working out as well.  Today's soundtrack:
AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - one of my favorite of all time!

When life gives you lemons, be glad it wasn't herpes!

When life gives you lemons, be glad it wasn't herpes!  This sums up two things...my sense of humor (this never gets old and makes me laugh out loud EVERY time I read it) and my outlook on life (there's ALWAYS something to be thankful for - things could be worse)!  I know this doesn't have anything to do with working out or exercising.  I posted this today because it seems like every time I turn around these past couple of weeks, something is always getting in my way of working out.  I went to the doctor with my daughter yesterday for her 32-week pregnancy check up.  Well, we get there and they check her blood pressure and it was fine (125/80).  Then, the midwife comes in and is talking to her and found out that last Friday was my daughter's last day at work and asked her "why did you leave work so early?"  To which, my daughter replied she was just tired all of the time, her feet were starting to swell and her blood pressure was up at her last check-up (at 30 weeks).  Then, the midwife decided to check her blood pressure herself and it was up (135/80).  So, she had Katy lie on her side for a bit and came back and checked it - luckily it cam down (115/72).  She then informed Katy she was glad she wasn't working and said they weren't putting her on bed rest "yet", but to take it easy - not to be up and around too much, no long shopping trips, no long car trips, etc.  So...that was practically all of our morning yesterday.  Then, we had lunch with her husband and went to my sister-in-law's to help plan for the baby shower, swung by my mother-in-law's house and visited with her as well.  Then, I ran some errands for Katy - so she wouldn't have to get out and do them.  Came back to town, ran my own errands and it was after 6:00 before I got home.  I was so exhausted, I fell asleep sitting up on the couch while reading last night - still had my reading glasses on and everything!  Once I made it to bed, I slept like a baby!!  :)  

I'm planning on doing the workout I had planned to do yesterday.  Just a reminder:

   3 Rounds for time

      Run 1 kilometer (.6214/mile)

      10 Push-ups

      100 Squats

As far as I can tell, NOTHING will stop me from working out today!  Fingers-crossed!!!!

******************************

56:01 - I know, I know - it's a TERRIBLE time...BUT I did not run every round - well, I did but not the way I originally planned.  First off - let me say - this was HARD!!  Okay, got that out of the way.  I decided at the beginning not to do 100 squats each round.  Instead, I added 5 "boy" push-ups per round and only did 50 squats per round.  Here's what I did -

Round 1
   Run 1 kilometer (.621/mile) - I ran for 2 minutes, walked for 2 minutes all the way through to the end.
   10 Push-ups - I did 10 "girl" push-ups - like I always do!
   5 "boy" push-ups - I can't go all the way down, but I can at least do them now!  YAY!!
   50 squats - Super deep, great form if I do say so myself!

Round 2
   Run 1 kilometer - I ran for 2 minutes, then stopped, grabbed my weighted vest and walked the remainder of this segment - increasing my incline by "1" every minute.  I got all the way up to a 5 incline, then started decreasing the incline by "1" until I reached an incline of 2.  I've been keeping my treadmill at an incline of 2, instead of going all the way down to 0.
   10 Push-ups - again, "girl" push-ups and again - no stopping at all on these!
   5 "boy" push-ups - they were harder this round, but I did it!
   50 squats - again, super deep and good form

Round 3
   Run 1 kilometer - I put the weighted vest back on (did I mention it weighs 8 pounds?) and ran for 1 minute (YAY!, but WHEW!) then walked, increasing my inclines by "1" every minute all the way up until I reached 6 incline, then I started decreasing them by "1" every minute until I was back down to 2 incline.  Then I ran for another minute, with the vest still on - YAY! - then walked until I reached .622 on the treadmill
   10 Push-ups - "girl", no stopping again!!
   5 "boy" push-ups - really hard this time, but I did it!
   50 squats - awesome, but SO tired!

My time also sucks because this includes me grabbing my weighted vest out of the closet, putting it on, taking it off when I realized it was on backwards, putting it back on, blowing my nose, coughing up a lung, changing my music because my Zombie played all the way through (!), and stopping to wipe off sweat.  Yeah - I'm trying to make it sound better than it was, but still - I'm proud of myself.  I stuck with it, even though I didn't run like I wanted, I was still able to challenge myself and push through.  I got super, super sweaty and out of breath, so I know I was working hard.  I'm proud of my push-ups - not stopping at all every round is a good thing!  AND I can do boy push-ups now!  YAY!  It's hard to believe what a difference that weighted vest makes and to think, that's just slightly less than the total weight I've lost so far, that really was hard on my body carrying around that little bit of extra weight.  Imagine what I could do if I was even lighter?  One day, my friends...one day.    :)

The only way to finish your workout is to start.

The only way to finish your workout is to start.  Yup...it doesn't get any simpler than that, does it?  You gotta start something in order to finish something.  :)

It is definitely a Monday this morning!  I did NOT want to wake up.  Of course, I woke up around 2:00 with my shoulder aching, so I got up and took an aspirin and drank some milk - then I couldn't go back to sleep, so I got back up and got my Nook and played Candy Crush (yes...I'm addicted) and read for a bit.  Finally, I turned my Nook off at 3:31 and went to sleep.  I had such a busy day yesterday!  First off, Honey-Buns and I slept until just a little after 9:00 - which would have been great, but our kids were coming over to celebrate HB's birthday (he turned 52 on Saturday) and a belated Father's Day since we were on vacation and celebrating our anniversary on Father's Day.  He requested ribs and homemade macaroni and cheese.  So, while the ribs were cooking in the oven, I was mopping my kitchen/dining room floors, then I had to get Hayley up and showered, then jump in the shower myself - so it was just go, go, go until 3:00 yesterday afternoon.  Had such a great time with everyone here!  Today is going to be a little busy as well.  I'm going with my daughter to her OB appointment this morning, since her hubby has to work and can't make it - his loss, my gain!  Then, we're kidnapping my mother-in-law and making her go to lunch with us - she's at the point in her life where she just wants to stay in bed and not get up or out, so we have to plan surprise attacks!  Then, it's off to my sister-in-law's house to help her plan the baby shower.  I'm getting so excited and can't wait to meet my little Addy!  Only 58 days to go!!

I'm sticking with the whole "day behind" deal with workouts, so what I post today is actually from everyone's post this past Friday.

CaliFit Mamas:

   5 Rounds for time

      5 Deadlifts w/40-60 lbs

      25 Sit-ups

   *Brand X posted this workout for last Monday, and puppies were to do 4 rounds for time*

Brand X

   rest day

CrossFit White Head

   "Luce" 3 Rounds for time

      Run 1 kilometer (.6214/mile)

      10 Push-ups

      100 squats

I believe I'm going to do the White Head workout.  I need to run (boy, do I need to run!) and I need to be really challenged on Mondays.  It just gets my work out week off to a great start when I have a hard workout scheduled on Monday.  My plan is to run (each round) the first 400 meters without stopping or walking, then to do some sort of run/walk combo until I reach .621/mile.  I will admit, I'm not looking forward to doing 100 squats per round, but I guess I'll just suck it up and get my "squat" on!!

Just got home, so...obviously no workout today.  I'll do this one tomorrow!
