Felt great- even had a guy tell me I look like a “rockstar” and that I’m inspiration for him because I look so good, “not in a fresh way”…. yea he’s like 40-something lol… very nice guy who pretty much loves to compliment me on a monthly basis when he sees me working out.

So glad I went to the gym!

Walked a bit, ran a mile at 6.9 walked a bit, then ran another mile at 7.1! Them I just did some quick biceps and triceps.

Felt good to get back into the gym!

Woke up super early… so I’m off to the gym for some cardio and probably a little strength training…

Might as well get a workout in since it’s been 2 days of no working out.. and I don’t have to be ready until 10am… so here we go!

Tonight’s UXF!

Woo did I jinx myself! I felt so nauseous from the pills because I only have a protein shake with them and not a full meal- BIG mistake.

Butttttt- I pushed through, and ended up coming in 2nd place by 3 reps. I basically did super shitty my first round because I didn’t want to push myself too hard and end up throwing up. The next 2 rounds I did muchhhh better (in fact, I actually got the top 2 scores of all the rounds and people).

Nonetheless, I’m proud of myself. I didn’t want to bail on the class and once I was there, I certainly didn’t want to sit out of any of the rounds, even though I had the option to. FUCK THAT. I am STRONG. And therefore, I HAVE to push myself. You don’t get any better settling for mediocracy!

Ended up feeling better by the end of class after much burping :)

Did you push yourself today during your workout??

Intervals on the treadmill for about 20 minutes and about 10 minutes of walking.

Short but still effective!

Tonight’s UXF!

We did straight rounds of the circuits— so 5 exercises with a certain number of reps per exercise, then did about 5-6 rounds, with maybe a minute of rest in between each round.

We did cleans to press, rope jacks, 1 arm rows w/ the TRX, squat jumps w/ TRX and reps with the abs wheel.

Definitely a tough circuit since I still tried to get through it quickly. Ended up out of breath during it so I’d say it was pretty damn good!

We ended with 20 second rounds of 3 different abs exercises, repeated 3 times with no breaks in between besides the 2 seconds it took to get to the other mats.

Woohoo- exercising rocks :)

5 Pullups!!!

achieved my most recent goal of getting 5 pull ups— woohoo!!! Next goal- 7?? I would say 10 but that’s pushing it ;)

Before the pull ups & push up supersets, I ran walked a bit then ran 2 miles at 6.9 mph, then walked a bit more.

Nice and sweatyyyy

Feeling Kick Assssss!

UXF went great. We did a timed circuit this time— 4 freaking times. It included squat w/ wall ball, ball slams, box jumps, rope slams, and tire flips!

The good news is I beasted it! I hauled ass and it felt great. I also got lots of compliments from my other group members and from the Fitness Manager..he said my box jumps looked awesome :)

Super happy with my performance.. sorry for all the gloating, I think I’m on an exercise-high!
