Workout Blog

2012-01-03T10:41:00.001-06:00

I've been working out just slacking on keeping up with blogging.

Bike Ride 45 min

Walk 45 min

Fran (didn't time)

*Another workout I forgot...

2011-12-30T08:58:00.002-06:00

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
10 Pull-ups
dumbbell Deadlift, 5 reps
Push-press, 8 reps

I'm very limited on equipment doing the workouts in the apartment. I need to purchase heavier DB and KB's. Used 8# DB and only have the door pull up bar that I can't kip on so used chair for assistance. 13+3

MIA

2011-12-29T05:11:00.003-06:00

Ok, so I am going to try to get back in the habit of blogging my workouts again.

Pilates Reformer Workout
75 KBS

I've finally been getting back into CF after a long hiatus. I'm going to try to balance CF and Pilates. My current plan is 3 days Pilates, 3 CF and one day off. I'm ridiculously weak so I probably won't be posting my weights out of embarrassment. I also don't have access to a lot of weight so I won't be able to heavy DL or BS.

2011-08-23T08:08:00.002-05:00

I'm such a slacker on this blog. I just have so much going on it's hard to keep up with everything. I finally broke down and got a treadmill. It's just so hot here there is no way I can do the long runs outside, and it's to hard to get away to go down to the gym with Warrick. So when he naps I'll be doing my running which makes it a little easier. I wish I could say I have been doing more, but I've really just been running. I know this will sound lame but, I have a piliates reformer on the way from the states. I wish we could make a CF set up here, but it just won't happen in the apartment. I've got my KB and DB's so that will have to do for now. I miss lifting heavy. I can't even imagine how weak I've gotten.

2011-07-16T22:44:00.002-05:00

Still training for the 1/2 marathon. I'm going to start following a light strength cycle. I say light because there is not very much weight in the gym. I'm so weak and need to regain some strength. I also started the 100 Burpree Challenge I'm on day 4. We got bikes to start going on rides which is a fun way to burn extra calories. Last night we went on a 6 mile ride. *I need to buy bike padded shorts. Walking at least 20 minutes after every meal. That really helps me to be able to eat and not have my pants get tight :) Going to look into purchasing a treadmill. It's hard for me to always get down to the gym when it's not busy. If we get a treadmill I can run or even walk on incline while Warrick naps. Miss all my CF friends.

2011-07-04T14:53:00.003-05:00

I'm such a slacker on this blog. I've still been doing the 1/2 training I guess it's going OK. I'm starting to get use to using the treadmill. It's just too hot here to run outside which is a shame with the amazing marina few. I've increased my walking again. I've gone back to walk at least 20 minutes after every meal since I can't seem to cut back on the carbs here. I wish they would open an american butcher shop. I also got a KB the other day so I've been using that making up random workouts. I miss my gym...

2011-06-26T03:53:00.002-05:00

Sorry, I have been MIA on my blogging. I'm still keeping up with the half marathon training. I really dislike running on a treadmill. Last night I ran/jogged 3 miles. It wasn't pretty.

I've been doing radom KB stuff and that is about it unless I play around with the lame equipment in the lame gym here. I've been walking less because of the heat. Which means I need to start doing something else to make up for that. We have been going swimming more often which is good. I'm about as good of a swimmer as I am a runner. My cardio just sucks. I miss having big weight to throw around to make me feel better when I sucked at the cardio.

2011-06-06T09:30:00.002-05:00

30 min run earlier no idea of distance. (not far haha)

This evening short incline walk as a warm up.

3x5x40 BS Yes that says 40# I'm sure I could have done more, but wanted to start out light since it's been months since I've touched any real weight.

3x5x40 SP (see above)

So pretty much I'm weak and It will be a slow process to get back to anywhere close to where I use to be. Not to mention the fact that they only have fixed weights that go up to 105# Ugh...

2011-06-06T08:12:00.002-05:00

I seriously miss having my own gym :( Following the half marathon training, and will be getting more swimming in soon. I'm suppose to do a CFFB workout tonight so we'll see how that goes. I'm not back in the groove of things just yet. The heat here is exhausting.

2011-06-02T13:05:00.003-05:00

I did my first CFFB workout two days ago and I'm still sore. That's what I get for being such a slacker. I even scaled it down. Oh well, it will come back eventually. I've been keeping up with the half marathon training as well.

2011-05-28T13:39:00.000-05:00

Started the training so far its going ok I guess. I'm a poor runner...

2011-05-22T06:05:00.001-05:00

Tomorrow I start the half marathon training. I'm excited to come back to the states for it. I'm also going to be adding some CFFB on Tues an Sat.

2011-05-16T12:02:00.002-05:00

Just wanted to post and say I am feeling jealous after reading that the girls did the CFT and had great numbers...

2011-05-05T01:13:00.002-05:00

Just finished a run which made me think of what a slacker I am with this blog. I will try to be better. I just feel like I'm so boring lately. Runnng/walking some db work and occasional bodyweight. I know I am lame. The gym here sucks, and I just haven't felt the itch to jump back into heavy lifting. I'm sure as it's getting hotter in Dubai and I want to walk/run less in the heat I will go back to throwing around steel :)

2011-04-03T01:13:00.002-05:00

I am still here and still doing about the same as far as workout goes. Joggine 3xs a week moved up to 21 mins haha. Ill add a min a week until I reach 30 mins and then I will add some crossfit endurance. I have been walking a lot, just not keeping up with the numbers mainly cause Warrick always takes off the pedometer and I don't realize it till it's too late. I have been slacking on my KBS so I will start that up again today. I'll try to get back into the habit of blogging.

I haven't stopped with the steps, but my battery died so need to find out where to get a new one. I really need to start running again I have no excuse other than lazy. I feel better the weather is perfect... I think I need to start going in the morning with the stroller. I haven't been feeling like working out at night which I know is odd for me. And Gavin has been going to the gym with Rick in the evening and it's so cute I'd rather they do that together. I went ahead and did the 75 KBS today with 13# since we are going to be traveling all day tomorrow.

I finally found a pedometer here it was a search to say the least. They have GPS watches all over the place, but not a simple cheap pedometer. Seeing as I already have a nice watch I just wanted to check the average amount of steps I take daily here with all the extra walking. The experts claim to loose weight you should take an average of 10k steps a day which is aprox 5 miles. So if nothing else I will post the steps at the end of the night. I have been doing body weight things throughout the day, but not following any plan. I did finally break 140 and now at 139.2 so still 7 lbs of pre-baby weight.

2011-01-04T11:04:00.002-06:00

I've obviously like everyone else slacked on the blogging. As most know I've moved to Dubai so Crossfit is not going to be as easy here without our own equipment. We were spoiled having our own gym. I did the row challenge for the holiday and now I'm really just walking A LOT. Also doing some light weight and bodyweight things now and again. I really haven't gotten into a good gym schedule yet since the move. I am such a picky eater and I'm having a hard time adjusting to the food here especially the meat so carbs have become the bulk of my meals. I have been drinking some protein shakes. My diet pretty much sucks. I go for at least a 20 min walk after every meal just trying to take away some of the impact of the carbs. Also usually a longer walk sometime during the day.

2010-11-15T08:43:00.001-06:00

Day 34 Kenpo

2010-11-13T16:44:00.002-06:00

Day 33: Back and Legs

Was harder than I recall. I've been trying to walk a lot but still fighting the urge to just be lazy.

Day 32

2010-11-09T08:46:00.002-06:00

Ok so I basically have been a bum for about a month. I did do the half marathon and added in some walking. But basically I haven't done much I just was in a funk and didn't feel like it. I actually don't even feel bad or guilty about it. I figure my body probably needed the break this is what I should have done after the baby instead of jumping back in too quickly. So today we'll get back on track. And of course it starts with my least favorite Yoga X blah I hate the P90x yoga.

2010-10-19T21:40:00.000-05:00

Got out of the habit of blogging...

Day 31 Back and Bi

30 min walk my right knee has been bothering me.

2010-10-17T20:09:00.000-05:00

Ok lets see if I can get back on track. Started back to day 30 and will go from there.

Day 30: Plyometrics

2010-10-13T12:13:00.001-05:00

5 mile walk with Michelle and Jen. After the walk Michelle convinced me to get my 30 min run over with. We did first mile slow jog and then the rest with the run/walk version. We were faster on the run/walk which is pretty crazy.

2010-10-12T19:38:00.002-05:00

Vacation is over and I'm back home trying to adjust to the time difference. I woke up at 3 and napped a lot during the day. I walked A LOT while gone, but was about it for workouts. I should do my day 30 over tonight, but I'm just too tired I'll start back at it tomorrow. I actually lost 3# while I was gone even though I don't feel like it.

2010-10-03T12:08:00.001-05:00

So I am here in Dubai and I forgot my DVDS!!! So going to have to start back at it when I get back to TN. Last night went for a 2 mile walk it was beautiful along the water. Tonight I ran 30 mins not sure on distance I pulled out the stop cord again by accident. However I was able to run the full 30 min with no walking. Also did a bit of shoulder and ab work before hand.

2010-09-27T21:20:00.002-05:00

Day 31: Back, Biceps and Abs

Didn't get a chance to workout last night so did this in the am. Hopefully can get today's workout in tonight. I'm very busy trying to get house ready to sell.

2010-09-26T21:24:00.003-05:00

Day 30: Plyometrics that's a pretty tough workout.

*Sooo my 30 day results? Gained 2# and and 1" on my butt. I don't know what to say either laugh or scream. Going to stick with it though. I did read that a lot of females don't really see results till the 30-60 day cycle.

Day 11: Yoga

*I made it through 1 hr 10 mins with Warrick climbing all over me till he got fussy.

30 mins run on treadmill 5.5-5.8 took 2/30 sec breaks. 2.74

I really dislike running on the treadmill and I didn't have any music so it seemed to last forever.

2010-08-29T19:21:00.001-05:00

Day 10: Shoulders, Arms, and Abs

3x1k Rows

*I'm going to do my run tomorrow I took a 2 hour nap today and it messed up my schedule. And I have to say I HATE the ab workout.

2010-08-28T20:33:00.000-05:00

Day 9: Plyometrics
*this really hurts my shin splints.

This morning did 6x500m rows easy pace.

2010-08-27T21:51:00.001-05:00

Day 8: Arms, back and abs.

I still have to do the ab part, Warrick woke up very unhappy. I got more reps today then last time which is always a plus.

Walked to Michelle's and back to see baby Isaac.

2010-08-26T20:27:00.001-05:00

Day 7: Stretching

*Suppose to run 30 mins, but I have shin splints after that 8.5 so taken a couple extra rest days going to walk tomorrow.

2010-08-25T21:09:00.001-05:00

Day 6: Kenpo

2010-08-24T21:06:00.001-05:00

Day 5: Legs, Back and Abs

*That ab workout is no joke. I like CF much better, but this is a good change for me I think. We will see in 85 days.

2010-08-23T21:46:00.001-05:00

Day 4 Plyometrics wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Some of the stuff was pretty lame, but you were sweating for an hour. I seem to be coming down with a cold like the rest of the house UGH.

2010-08-22T21:00:00.002-05:00

Day 3: arms and back easy and kinda fun.

8.5 1:49 actually wasn't as bad as I expected. Obviously not a very fast pace but was following the 1 min walk 30 sec run. Last 3 miles I had to turn around a lot. The kids wanted to join me Julia walking and Gavin on his bike and they were going to go 5 miles. But it was getting dark so I kept back tracking so I could see them. I usually do 45 sec walk 30 sec run. But figured since it was longer i would go back to the min and see how my time was to have an idea on how I'll I do on the half.

2010-08-21T22:27:00.002-05:00

Day 2 switch the plyometrics for yoga since I have a long run tomorrow. Lets just say I could not keep up with the yoga it was very fast and not enough explaining. Hopefully I'll do better next week with that one.

2010-08-20T21:01:00.002-05:00

Day 1 P90X was tough, but in a different way than CF.

2 miles 23 min was suppose to go for 30, but got cut short. Warrick woke up unhappy so Gavin called and I came home. I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow...
