Mar 26 - 31

Monday - Little kids woke up early so I didn't get my workout in during the A.M.  2 miles on treadmill, did four 60 second sprints during those 2 miles, took 30 min, also for 6 of those minutes at the end, I held two 20 lb dumbbells, something Sara Solomon's Strength academy inspired me to do, I just don't have a 50 lb sandbag. Also did my 10 pull ups/let downs. I did 6 of them with a hammer hold, then did the last 4 with a variation of a wide grip, that is a lot harder! Intermittent fasting today - fasted until 4, ate from 4 - 7:30. Intermittent Fasting Day 1 - ate 4-7
Tuesday - Flow stretch & 12 minutes of planks this morning and practiced handstands through out the day. Ate 3:45 - 7:45 pm
Wednesday - 10 thirty second let downs this morning - all wide grip, woo!
Thursday - Up at 5 to take Joseph to his wisdom tooth appointment. When I got home, I tried to hit snooze. Holly's periscope this morning was about "You snooze you lose" and I usually don't snooze, but since I had an hour before I had to get little girls up and out to school (they aren't on spring break until Monday) I thought sleeping a bit more would be nice, but it just throws things outta whack. Doing IF though kept me busy and working all day, ate at 3, finished a little later than planned at 8:30 cause we were at a park from 3 - 5 (Had blueberries and bananas at 3) Anyway, still a good day, and i won't hit snooze again. 11 pm now, doing repeat of Feb 13th workout, did 6 rounds of:
- 5 burpees with push up
- 10 swing and press with 2/15 lbs
- 15 weighted squats - 2/15 lbs
- 20 jump lunges
Four rounds from 11:13 - 11:25, 12 min pause for scriptures, then two more rounds from 11:38 - 11:44. Now it's almost midnight, I'm going to bed
Friday -2 mile jog/walk outside, spring weather is here, 23 minutes

Mar 11 - 17

Sunday -  I fell asleep on the floor with Owen last night. When I got up to get into bed, my tailbone hurt like crazy. I didn't fall or anything, the only thing I can think of is that it was from stretching on the yoga wheel, even though that was on Friday. Weird. I can walk okay and everything, just notice it a little if I lay down or sit down. But not intolerable pain.
Monday - Flow, then this back bend yoga video. Doing my 10 pull ups today. Was able to do one unassisted. My energy and go-get-em attitude seems a bit low this morning. Did 10 reps of each of the following for 3 rounds:
- chair dips
- bicep curls 2/15 lbs
- shoulder side raises 2/8
- push ups on toes
- superman T with 2/5
Tuesday - Morning flow, then outside for a walk/jog, did 6 laps around the block/neighborhood which I think is about 2 miles. started at 6:28, finished at 7:10, did 250 walking lunges after 3 laps
Wednesday - I only did 10 pull ups today. I was kinda dragging this morning and didn't get my workout in before I had to take carpool, and then the day was gone. But I did get in my 10, though I struggled with those too! Energy is low, I'm blaming it on the Daylight Savings time change.
Thursday - Owen and Daniel were both awake at 5:15!!!! Hence, I did not get my workout in again. I did 12 minutes of planks in my closet though, while I listened to Holly's facebook live video. Mood and energy are better, hoping to be back on target tomorrow. "Do what you said you would do = builds belief and confidence in yourself" "What gets measured gets improved" "Anything that you want to improve in your life needs to get tracked and measured"
Friday - 30 min jog/run, did 4 sprints on treadmill. Plus 10 let downs during the day. Energy is better this morning.
Saturday - active rest day, walked around a bit downtown when we went on our date to see Shen Yun :)

Mar 4 - 10

Sunday - 60 minutes of stretching this morning while everyone else slept, it was nice. Then I broke a sweat with Corey as we shoveled 16 inches of snow off the driveway!
Monday - First part of my workout I did was attempt a pull up, and I did 2!! Yeah! Going to continue doing my 10 reverse pull ups through out the day. After the pull up I did a warm up & flow combo using stuff from Danette May and Holly Rigsby, then did 2 miles on the treadmill in 27 minutes with four 60 second sprints. Last week for my pull ups I had to stand on a chair and start at the top, but today I was able to pull myself up each time, and I held some of them for 40 seconds on the way down. Little by little
Tuesday - Morning Flow, then a light upper body resistance workout: 3 rounds and 10 reps each of the following:
- Bicep curls 2/12lbs
- triceps overhead extensions 1/25lb
- chest fly on ball 2/12
- back superman T-lifts 2/5lbs
- shoulder circles w 2/5lbs
Ended with a 17 minute walk for 1 mile (but the treadmill timer is going out I think cause it reset itself again after I started, but I know I had already gone through one 4 min song, so I think it was more like 22 minutes and 1.25 miles) I'll keep track with my phone timer tomorrow too to see if the treadmill is accurate or not
Wednesday - Holly's 5 min feel good flow, then 30 min on the treadmill. I had to go wake up kids after 13 minutes and it reset, so not sure what distance I got there, but for the last 17 minutes I got 1 mile, so we'll assume it was like 1.75 miles. Didn't do sprints, I'm on day 4 of a water fast (ate Saturday, ended at 2, did a dry fast until 2 on Sunday, been doing a waterfast since then. I am also doing my 10 letdowns today, 30 seconds each.
Thursday - Did Holly's EJC Periscope workout from yesterday, a 4 x 4 workout - 4 exercises, 4 rounds, 10 reps each of the following
- Chair burpees
- swing clean and press (I used 2 15 lb dumbbells)
- Renegade rows - two 15 lbs dumbbells
- bridge and reach. She did a "banded bridge and reach" but I didn't have the right band to do that
Then a quick sizzler of superwoman and reverse plank with knee, 30 seconds each 2 times each for 2 minutes. Finished my waterfast yesterday at 12:30 so I had good energy today, good workout, going to go stretch now.
Friday - 8 minute good morning flow, then 2 miles in 25:15 min, and did six 1 min sprints during that cardio, then walked a bit more. And I've already done 7 of my let downs, pulled myself up with each one, yay. good sweat, going to stretch now and will finish 3 more pull-ups/letdowns to make it 10 for today
Saturday - Active rest
