Back to the Gym

I'm back! It feels good to be working out again...although I was and still am scared about injuring myself and how difficult all the workouts are/will be. I've worked out the past three days. Day 1 I rowed for 2 miles with a feeding break after the first 500m; Day 2 BS 5x5 - 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 (pre-pregnancy max 110) and SP 5x5 - 22, 27, 32, 32, 37 (pre-pregnancy max 48). Day 3 6 rounds of 10 thrusters (22lbs) and 10 ring rows in 20 minutes. I get winded so quickly and easily. Plus, I'm so used to during my workouts slow, it's hard to think about moving quickly. The weights are heavier than I remember. I'm starting at square one again and it's frustrating. My legs and arms are sore today but its good to be sore again. I'm also trying to eat better or at least lower my caloric intake a bit. We're going out of town for the week but we'll be back next Thursday or so.

April: a Month of Rest

I miss working out. Never thought I'd say that, actually. **TMI warning** I had a 3rd degree laceration during delivery and I'm told that this will require more than 6 weeks of rest. Poo. Good news is that I'm starting to feel a lot better and have started talking short walks with the baby. I was thinking that I could probably start doing some arm exercises sitting down. Anyone have any other ideas?? I'll probably be coming to the gym with Jon at least once this week, just to watch and show off Maggie to anyone who's around. Miss catching up with you all.

I'm still here

I've still been working out but find it 1. hard to remember the workouts that I've done and 2. I feel ridiculous posting what I've done b/c it's not much. I have trouble finding workouts that I can still do without causing too much discomfort later that night. So, I've been doing a lot of squats, rowing, shoulder press, step ups, lunges, push ups and walking on my own.

Boring!

Day 1: Row 500m then: 15-12-9 Lunges and Good mornings #22
Day 2: 21-15-9 OHS no weight, Push ups, and Step ups
Day 3: Row 2000m and 3 sets of 15 push press 22lb

3 more workouts

Day 1: took a real rest day. Jon took me on a 3 mile walk up and down hills on our rest day. Felt good but I got out of breath really quickly.
Day 2: 24-18-12 Push Press 22lbs, Step ups, and Push ups. 500m row warm up and cool down.
Day 3: Row 500m then: 15-12-9 Lunges and Good mornings 22lbs

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.

3 more

Saturday: 4 rounds of Row 400m, 15 step ups 16" box, and 15 jumping pull ups, rowed 1600 m
Sunday: 3 rounds of 15 step ups 16" box, 15 back squats (22lbs) and 15 shoulder press (22lbs), rowed 1600m
Monday: rowed 30 minutes
My body is starting to ache, especially in my hips and back. I think I have done my last workout with weighted squats.
