This is getting harder


So I'm back after about a two week break. I was in Ohio, visiting with my parents here, and recovering from a cold. I did a little walking on the treadmill while I was gone and lots of touristy activities but no real working out.

Day 1: 3 rounds of 500m row and 25 squats.

Day 2: "Tiny Tanks" 200m farmer's walk 10lb dbs, 200m row, 200m waiter's walk 10lb kb, 200m row, 200m barbell carry 11lb, 200m row, 200m waiter's walk (other arm) 10lb, and 200m row. Plus a 45 minute walk with the dog.

Day 3: Walk with Jon and the dog around neighborhood. My hips hurt after yesterdays workout not sure if it was b/c of going up and down the driveway and the hills in our neighborhood or just a fluke, so I thought I'd better take it easy today.

My body is starting to ache, especially in my hips and back. I think I have done my last workout with weighted squats.

We're Back

We're back from our incredibly long vacation. I probably gained about 10lbs while we were gone. What a sabotage the holidays were. I worked out about an average of 3 times a week. Sometimes I just walked for 40 minutes on my parents treadmill and other days I did a crossfit mom workout.
Today I did 4 rounds of 10 pull ups (jumping w/4 boxes), 10 back squat 22lbs, and 10 push ups (on knees). I rowed 800m before and after workout.
I'm excited to catch up with everyone over the next few days or so.

Back at it

Friday: "Baby Helen" 3 rounds Row 400m, 20 one-armed kettlebell swings 10lbs, and 12 pull ups/ring rows
Saturday: Rest Day
Sunday: "Jake" 250m row, 15 squats, 250m row, 15 push ups, 250m row, 15 pull ups, 250m row, and 15 knees to elbows
Monday: No workout
Tuesday: 21-15-9 Push ups and Wall ball 4kg

I'm not sure if the week off messed me up or this weight gain is starting to make everything a lot more difficult but my workouts were pretty hard and I found that I got out of breath a lot quicker. This, however, has motivated me to find ways to workout when we're out visiting over the holidays.

My Smartest Move Ever

This was NOT my smartest move ever. On Saturday I was doing my workout, which was 4 rounds of row 400m, 10 squats, and 10 push press 15lb w/ dumbbell, when I dumbbelled my head. I got myself pretty good at the same time on both sides of my head at my temples. I was laughing b/c it was pretty funny but then I got a major headache that night and into Sunday. Jon had a crappy workout day on Sunday and has decided that he needs a week off or that his muscles do. Soo...I don't imagine that you'll see us at the gym this week. This will give a week to get rid of the bruise on the side of my head, too!
