16 or Lunges are the devil...

Translation:

6 rounds of 4 "snatch" weight lifting

As Many Rounds As Possible in 15 minutes:

• 2 times over head weighted lunges (I held a weighted medicine ball over my head and did walking lunges across a parking lot and back)
• 12 box jumps
• Shuffle to the bank across the parking lot and back
• 12 TRX bicept curls

I managed to get through 2 rounds and ended on the lunges. It turned out being the longest part of the work out.

15 or The tire...

 And here is what we did on Friday May 04, 2012...

Translation:

Warm up = 15 minutes


3 rounds total
2 minutes per workout
1 minute rest between stations:

• Tire flip with partner outside
• Box push with weight on top
• Ball slams (20 lbs)
• Wall balls (10 lbs)

 

 And here were the tires that we used... No one could do the huge one. It is about 5 feet tall and weights over 200 lbs.

 Proof that it was as big as me... And I am only about 5'3"ish.

More proof.

14 or Committment...

My goodness. It has been such a long time since I have had the time to sit down and write about my progress. I am making a promise to myself to keep this log more current and up to date...

With that said, since I have last written, P and I had purchased a groupon way back in October for a place called Cross Fit. The plan at the time was to keep working out as much as we could at The Well at school and once we lost enough weight (by the time the groupon was going to expire), we would then go and use the groupon (which was good for 12 sessions to be used with in 90 days).

Well, we eventually forgot about the groupon until the last minute and we started the 12 visits in March... Long story short, we gave in and signed up for a 2 month membership. We try to go at least every Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and whenever Saturday or Sunday that we can. It is such a hard workout, but it is real rewarding at the end.


Anyways, I figured I should start taking a photo of the work outs that we do each day that we go because sometimes, I can't believe that I did what I did...

Here is what we did today:

Translation:

Round 1:
21 dead lift high pull on the right
10 push ups
21 dead lift high pull on the left
15 push ups
Run to the Chase Bank and back
21 dead lift "snatch" on the right
20 push ups
21 dead lift "snatch" on the left
25 push ups
Run to the Chase Bank and back

Round 2:
21 dead lift high pull on the right
10 squat jumps
21 dead lift high pull on the left
15 squat jumps
Run to the Chase Bank and back
21 dead lift "snatch" on the right
20 squat jumps
21 dead lift "snatch" on the left
25 squat jumps
Run to the Chase Bank and back

And end all tired and sweaty.

It took me almost 24 minutes to finish this workout...

Currently hovering around 198ish.

13 or Making time...

I have been slacking. Ugh. Not the kind of progress I am looking for. School is now well into week #3 and with me starting back up with derby again, life has been a little crazy. And with all this craziness going on, I can feel all the hard work that I have been putting into my working out and dieting is falling behind... I just need to make the time to do the things I need to. My first priority is to my college career. This is my last year and I need to make it count. Second is my health (and the health of P.M. too). Third is my family. Fourth is derby. Anywho...

Tomorrow morning I am going to wake my ass up at 520am and head to the gym for some tough sweaty love. Then the day is filled with actually trying to do some homework and finishing some household chores that have been neglected since school started.

I am going to attempt to keep track of what I ate and (perhaps) what working out I have done. I need this to become my motivation.

• Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, 2 small sausage patties and a protein shake. I took a coffee to school to drink (which lasted from 8 am till 1130 am which was much appreciated during my asian art lecture at 9 am.)
• Lunch: left over pulled pork sammiches with cole slaw, some chippies and a Dr Pepper.
• Snack: blueberry brown cow yogurt.
• Dinner: stuffed bell peppers filled with pork/ chicken sausage and yummy cheese! (and a water to drink since my pomegranate/ lemon tea wasn't brewed yet)

I have not weighed myself since Sunday (The Super Bowl is a bad day for dieters) but when I did, I managed to jump my weight back up to 200. Biggest set back in a long time. Here is to getting back on track.

Till tomorrow!

12 or Back to the real world...

Today is the first day of school.

Meaning that:
-Roller derby is back on for me
-Getting my shit back in order
-Working out every single day

Today I am now hovering around 196. If I didn't hurt my knee last Sunday, I would have done some more working out this last week. But, I am getting back on track today.
