Thursday 8-26

Today was the start of my "week"
15 min of turkish get-ups. Whoo-hoo did 2 of them with the 35. And didn't have to strain as hard with them!

325 swings out of 1,500 (plus 25 extra a day to make up for the ones I didn't do last week)
These swings have been really tough on me for some reason. It's all I can do just to get through them! But I did!!!

Was totally inspired by Sofia today. She is amazing. Made me feel a little inadequate but I know not to compare! Also having my daughter there today made my concentration level a little less than normal. Oh well.....I am glad that I at least got to get in a great workout!

50 push-ups (had to do most of them the wussy girly way. But did more boy ones than I normally do)

50 ring-rows

50 swings

50 swings

50 knees to elbows

Ran 1.5 miles today. It's been 8 weeks since I have gone running. Felt great. I really think that it's because of the kettlebells that I could go and run even after it's been a while!

July 30th

Thought today would be an "easier" day. 6 ladders...no problem...piece of cake...right?? WRONG!!! For the 1st couple of ladders I pressed double 26lb which was awesome and then Jim gave me the new blue kettlebell and told me to press that. THAT THING KICKED MY BUTT! Finally found my "sweet spot" on my right side but still am trying to find it on my left. Pushed as hard as I could but couldn't get it up a couple of times. That's ok. I will not let it beat me. Watch out 35.....you're next!!!!
