Today was back to running!!!  I ran 2 miles, taking a short break after each .5 mile.  Was actually very proud of myself for making it through this.  I didn't think there was any way I could do it...

Feb 17

Ate Chinese food for dinner, stomach did not approve.  Took today off...

Feb 16

Today's workout wasn't as awful as yesterday.  I was surprised how difficult the ball slams got towards the end...

As Many Rounds as Possible (AMRAP) in 12 minutes of:
5 pull-ups (used the elastic band for assistance)
30 jump rope skips
15 ball slams (10 lb ball)

I did 7 complete rounds plus one pull-up.

Feb 15

Today's workout was pretty insane.  Have I mentioned that I hate burpees???

5 rounds of:
10 ball cleans (10 lb ball)
10 knees to chest
10 burpees
10 kettle bell swings (35 lb kettle bell)
10 weighted lunges (25 lb weight)

Total time 21:57

Feb 14

Today's workout was pretty difficult.  I still have a hard time doing pushups.

5 ring pushups
10 squats

Repeat 10 times.  Total time 8:43.

Feb 12

Today was an off day.

Feb 11

Worked out with the trainer again today.  Today's workout was:

20 wallballs with a 10lb ball, throwing it 8 feet high
40 jump rope skips
20 sit-ups on the ab pad

Repeat 5 times

Total time 14:44

My legs were dying by the end of this!!

Feb 10

Today's workout was 21-15-9 of dumb bell thrusters (10 lb) and assisted pull-ups.  Total time 6:34

Feb 9

Run 300 meters 1:31
Walk/rest 1 min
Run 250 meters 1:22

Feb 8

Took today off.

Feb 7

Workouts continued today.

Today was As Many Rounds As Possible (AMRAP) of the following in 8 minutes:
10 palm strikes to the punching bag (alternating hands)
10 elbow strikes (alternating arms)
10 toes to bar (T2B) which is really more like knees to abs right now
12 kettlebell swings with 35 pounds

I did 5 complete rounds, then everything down to the kettlebell swings, completed 6 of them.  My hands were hurting, I guess from doing pull-ups yesterday then hanging from the bar today.  And abs did not want to cooperate either...

Feb 6

Trainer made an appearance today.  It was not fun...

Today's exercise was pull-ups and squats.  I can't do normal pull-ups yet, so doing them on angle for now.  Had to do 1 pull-up then 1 squat,  2 pull-ups then 2 squats, ...  all the way up to 10 each, then count back down to 1.

Total time:  11:51.

Feb 5

I had planned to workout today, but the trainer called in sick.  And it is my birthday, so I think it will be another off day!  Back to the grind tomorrow...

Feb 4

Today was an off day, and I needed it.

Feb 3

Today's workout was run .25 mile, walk .25 mile repeat 6 times.  This sucked pretty badly.  I still hate running...  I came closer than I ever have before to just quitting in the middle of a workout.  But I didn't, and I made it!!!!!!!  Now I am looking forward to my off day tomorrow.

Feb 2

I was pretty terrified of today's workout.

60 pushups (I did 10 normally, 35 on knees, then 15 using the wall)
40 situps (did them with the sandbag under my butt)
30 standing lunges each side
10 kettlebell swings with 35 pound
60 burpees (had to do the pushup part on my knees)
Total time 20:06

Have I mentioned how much I absolutely hate burpees!!!!!  They are the worst thing in the world.  But I somehow managed to persevere and complete the workout.  I then laid on the couch for an hour and didn't move.

Feb 1

Back to working out today.

3 sets of:
400 m run
15 burpees
15 knees to elbows
Total time 15:33

This workout was very difficult for me to get through.  Had to stop a couple of times during each of the burpee and knee to elbow exercises.  I never thought I would say this, but the running was the easiest for me to do.

Today was another off day.  I did pretty well with the diet during the day, but then went out to eat.  Had an awesome hamburger and fries.
