The Usual

I did 500 mountain climbers today in 5:28, another small improvement in my time. Then I did my planks and we pretty shaky~ couldn't do the 3 minute center straight through, took a few 5 second breathers as I pushed through. 3 min yoga table was good, then 1 minute on left & rights. Did a wheel for :57, and then spent the rest of the day moving furniture as I re-arranged the kid's bedrooms, which was a bit of a sweaty workout in itself too.  I ate great today, made myself a vegetable soup. I've been stuck weight wise in the 156-158s, but going to break through it this week.

50 Divebombers

We had a busy day cleaning and then tonight I took up my sisters offer to join her at a Real Soccer game, good times, so after some 10 pm baths I just got to my workout.  Not enough time for a Killer so I did a quick workout (about 10 min) - repeat the following 5 times:

• 30 180 jump toe touches
• 10 divebombers

So it was quick and I'm dripping sweat, not sure if it was totally from the workout or if it's cause it's hot in our house right now.  Maybe it feels hot cause I'm hot.  Church is at 9, so better take a quick bath and head to bed

Log

Wednesday - 12 minutes of 1:30 planks
Thursday - busy day, didn't get in a workout
Friday - went on a short run this morning then did 12 minutes of 1 min planks but did hold a 2 minute center plank and some stretching.

I think I'll do an old Bodyrock workout tomorrow, a Killer 500 or something.

Fitness Tests

I know I said I was ready to focus this week, but I forgot that we still had nutella in the cupboard.  But now the spread is gone (almost, going to have the kids get rid of it in a minute), so now I'm really ready to get serious about diet this week. ;)  I read this article at Angry Fitness Trainer which I think I'm going to try - I didn't eat this morning until 11:00 and felt a little guilty about it, but didn't feel hungry, just guilty that I was ruining my metabolism by not eating every 3 hours, but maybe this eat from 11 to 7 thing would work for me. Or I might try to eat from 10 to 6.  I think 16:8 would work for me (16 hour of fasting, 8 hours of eating)

For exercise today, I tested myself on to beat my time for around the block sprint:

First I did clockwise: 2:28 ~ wow! Major improvement from my last time of 2:44! That time is like my normal pre-pregnancy time eventhough I'm still carrying an extra 20 lbs
counter clockwise - 2:35 ~ That's an improvement too, way to go me!

Plus going to do:
Wheel - 1:10 (I beat 1 minute!)
Handstand - :42 - working up to my old time of a minute, and at that link I recorded I did a wheel for 2 mins, wow, so I still have a ways to go... Slowly but surely.

3 Minute Planks & 3 Miles

After a week retreat at Park City and not doing very well during that week (understatement) with workouts or diet, I'm ready to hit this week with renewed focus and determination.  This morning I did some 3 minute planks as I listened to Animal - (that's a really fun song) ~

3 minute Center plank (almost died)
3 minute yoga table (do-able)
2 minute right plank
2 minute left plank
1 minute right
1 minute left

Then tonight I went for a 3 mile jog/run ~ walked for .5 miles, ran for 2.0 without stopping (yay! good job self) then a .5 mile cool down on the walk home. My goal was to jog the 2 miles without stopping and proud to say I did it, big improvement from my last run with my son Joseph.  :)  Feeling good, weight still hovering around 156.

Movie Burpees

So, first to log the weekend, I didn't do anything last Friday, Saturday I did 1 minute planks, & Sunday is a rest day.

This week we are up at Park City.  I came down this morning though cause Natalie has a dr. appointment.

Sadly, eventhough there is a gym there at the hotel, I didn't find a time to make it down yesterday. I did get in 12 minutes of 1 minute planks though as we watched a movie - Get Smart.  Pretty funny.  I was trying to hold a side plank when Steve Carrel said "Oh Kay" in his mute stable boy voice, I couldn't stop laughing and was trying to not lose my form.  Then later at night Joseph, Ethan, and I watched "The Italian Job" and I said I had to do 5 burpees for everytime they swore.  I'm still 30 behind, but got like 40 in, thankfully it wasn't as high as I expected.  More of an action movie than a cursing movie, so that was good.  It's Natalie's fault I didn't finish cause she started to fuss and I had to nurse her and the swearing got ahead of me.  So that is how you do movie burpees.  :)

Cleaning Lunges & 180s

Did 1:30 planks today for 12 minutes, goes like this:

2 rounds of the following

• 90 second left plank
• 90 second right plank
• 90 sec center plank
• 90 sec yoga table

Then I did a wheel for 1 minute, working up to 1:30, first gotta get my wrists stronger

Tonight during the commercials of the AFV rerun the kids and I did handstands in my bedroom - my best time was :39.  Then, after shooing all the kids off to bed, I did "cleaning lunges" in my bedroom, which are walking lunges around my room and I clean up all the blankets and pillows and toys off the floor as I take 400 lunges walking back and forth across the room.  I did 30 reps of 180 jump squats after each 100 lunges.  180 Jump squats are a P90X move, I'll let these nice gentlemen demonstrate in this video here, so my night time routine went like this:

4 rounds of the following:

• 100 walking lunges
• 30 180 jump squats

I had to up the workout today cause I ate some brownies that I bought for the kids.  Then I told the kids I can't have treats around the house any more cause my will power is not strong.  Sorry kids.
