Day 16

Well today I didn't do the WOD because I am at work and instead I went for a 5 mile run. It was gloriously sunny and not too windy and not to hot. It was wonderful. I ran 5 in 38:30 and then finished up with a half mile cool down. Then went in and did 10 pull ups, 15 push ups, 20 BSU and 30 Handstand.
I am hoping if I do the above every day, I'll actually get stronger... we'll see.

I might to the WOD later, but probably not. It looks MAJOR. :)

This day last year, it was freezing cold and there was SOOO MUCH SNOW everywhere, and I was in a great deal of pain. I am amazed that I was able to give birth to this beautiful little girl. Happy Birthday Emma Joy! I love you so much!

Day 15

Tomorrow is Emma's birthday. Can't believe it's been a year already! Love that girl! I will post a full post about her and her birthday that we already had and all that. Right now I need to record and jump in the shower before the kiddos wake up.

Saturday I ran 3 miles in around 24:00 min. Not great but whatever. It was outside and windy.
Sunday I ran 8.11 miles in 1:05:27 which I was pretty happy with as it's the farthest I've gone for a year and a half.

Run for 1 min.

Day 11

Another challenge has started, but I've been too busy with birthdays to post much. I have been exercising consistently and doing pretty good. I started transitioning to outside running, which was a bit of a rude awakening for me. I was MUCH slower then I should be. I think part of it is that it's ALWAYS windy here, and I am low on iron and just don't have the energy I should have. I did run 4 miles yesterday at 30:17 which was much better then the 8 min miles I was getting before that.

Today's WOD was:

3 Rounds for time of:

Run 100 Meters
15 HSPU - I did these with my feet on the handle bar of the treadmill. I was too sore from yesterday to try the real deal.
200 JR

10:07

I will be posting more frequently once I get my head above water again.

Day 1 AGAIN!

So we are at Day 1 again of the next 90 day challenge. I am doing it again, though with some revisions. I will not be eating wheat during the week and I will cut sugar back now too. In fact, I am pretty much going to just carry on from where I left off.

Sunday I ran outside on the ice and in the wind for a very slow 4 mile run. But it was fun.
Saturday I ran 3 miles. Friday I ran a 2K in 8:37 and a 5K in 21:23.

Todays WOD was

AMRAP in 20 Min Of:

10 KTE
20 Pistol Squats (alternating legs)
30 Supermans (legs bent.)

I did 2 miles on the TM in 15:38 and then 7 rounds + KTE and 11 Squats.
Truthfully I was low energy and I didn't push myself as hard as I could have.
I then ran outside for a mile which was quite nice.

 I am not going to post my STATS because they are the same as they were a week ago.

HSPU

Todays WOD was WOW!

AMRAP in 25 minutes of:

11 Pull ups
12 DL - 75 then dropped to 65 the last two rounds
10 HSPU - did two rounds with a box under my head up against the wall. Then did half up against the wall and half knees on a chair or in a pike.

9 Rounds + 7 pull ups.

TIRED!
I also ran 3 miles.

90 Day Challenge

And the results are in!:) OK, so it's not that exciting, but I'm still glad I did it.

Pics:

8 Months: 
Chest:36, Midsection: 32.25 Waist:29.5, Hips: 39! Thighs: 21.5, Bicep: 11

Weight: 147

Chest: 35, Midsection: 31.75, Waist: 28, Hips: 38, Upper Thighs: 22, Thighs: 20, Bicep: 11 

Weight: 141

So basically I lost some inches and a bit of weight, but I'm not looking for the quick fix. I know it will take a bit to get me where I want to be. 

Next step is to do it again, though this time I will be not having wheat during the week from the get go.

11 Months PP

Eleven months have gone by since I had Emma and I am really feeling good about my progress to get back into shape and even get into better shape.



Eating: Doing well, eating well. We have been not eating wheat during the week and just having it on the weekends. It helps to have a day that it's allowable. I've been doing better just eating nuts and fruits for snacks, but I should probably not munch on them as much.

Exercise: Doing great with this still and will definitely be keeping my routine the same, though I am adding more miles as it's getting closer to summer and I want to amp up for the Midnight Sun run in June. I did do a 6:25 min mile last month, which was definitely a highlight.

Not much change from a month ago, but I'm not discouraged. I will get there eventually!

Weight: 141

Life: Good. Getting jazzed about the spring and the birthday party coming up. It will be great times had by all. Emma is getting so big and she is very close to walking! She loves to cruise around holding onto things and she is DETERMINED to be part of everything and gets quite put out when she's not.
Jackson is now three! He continues to change and grow and it's so fun to be watching it happen!
We went on a date for my birthday and it was SO much fun! I haven't done anything fun for my birthday in quite a few years. So all in all it was a great month!

Day 89!

Woot! Here we are almost done!

I ran on Saturday and Sunday. Though Saturday I felt horrible and quit after 2.5 miles. It was BAD!
Sunday I ran a 10K in 46:02 then kept running to finish off at 7.25 miles. The most I've run to date. I think I'll need to start adding in a long run every week. Like 10 miles. Maybe when the sun comes out to play and I can run outside.

Today the WOD was:

3 Rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
Rest 2 minutes

3:10
3:05
3:07

Then I ran a total of 5.25 miles.

I will take measurements and pictures today so I can post tomorrow. It's noting amazing so don't get your hopes up. But by the time I'm done with me it will be! :)

Day 85

Almost done with the challenge!

Yesterday I was sick and the WOD was to run a 5K. I didn't feel up to seven minute miles, so I ran a 5K in 23 minutes and then ran more 5.25 in total. It was a fine run, though a bit on the low energy side.

I don't remember the last time I actually posted was. It's been a long week. I did WODs Monday, Tuesday and took Wednesday off, because we had to go to FBX. for appointments. I will skip the 11 month PP post until Monday when the challenge will be up. Then I'll do all the pics etc and recap of success and what I'll do better next time.
