Sundays Workout

I ran 2.63K in 20:00 ( just realized this time makes no sense. I checked my GPS watch and I think what happened was I started the timer before the GPS system loaded). I will do the same distance on Tuesday, then I will know what my true time is.

This is my first run in about four months. I had many obstacles during my run, wind and snowbanks. I enjoyed hurdling over the sandbanks and pushed as hard as I could on this run. My lungs found it hard to breathe in the cold as I am still adjusting to winter. Overall, I am pleased and enjoyed my run.

Then I did 20 push ups in 57seconds. Forearms are still sore from rock climbing ahhh!!

Brush it off and start fresh

 This week I did only two workouts. Friday I went rock climbing with some of my gym members for two hours and my forearms are shot. I Tried to turn a door knob this afternoon....ummm...lets just say I was close to being stuck in the bathroom.

We all have bad weeks. It's like riding a bike for the first time, you get back up and keep going. Don't stress about the past we only live once its not worth it just move on forward.

 The problem I am finding now that the kids are both home with me Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays is fitting in my workouts on these days. I thought about it this week-end and my only option is to try get them down for their naps the same time and do my workouts then or wake up at 5:30am and workout from 5:30-6:30am. Not sure if I can do that early in the morning, my bed time is around 10:45pm. So...this week I will be trying to fit my workouts in around the kids being home during the day. I really don't want to take them both to the gym to do my workouts but if that is what I will have to do then I guess that might me my only option.

Tuesdays and Thursdays I have only one child at home for the day so those days I have no excuses I can take her to the gym with me.

This was the best feeling in the world just hanging in mid air

Today I took the day off to recover from yesterdays rock climbing marathon.

Sundays Workout:

8K Run

Snowed Out!

My go to when I have a sweet tooth

Well, I have to say I am a little appointed in myself. I did do a workout today but not the one I posted. We got a huge snow storm again!! yey Canada.
 I just did my warm up routine (2 rounds) as fast as I could:
10 Good Mornings broomstick
10 Overhead Squats with broomstick
10 Pull ups
10 Knees to elbows
10 Tricep dips
30 Sec hold Samson stretch


Tomorrow I will do the workout I posted earlier on today.


My Sweet treat in the picture above is: Plain yogurt, cashews and some honey.
I just wanted to write a little about finding nutritious snacks when you are feeling for something sweet. Sticking to treats that have dried fruit and/or nuts seems to satisfy cravings longer. Nut oil is heavy and takes a long time to break down, making it an excellent choice for snacking. Be aware....the amount you eat. You only need to eat small amount as they do carry a lot of good fat. Everything in moderation people. 


Train smart and hard :)

My Journey to lose the loose skin

 This picture was taken around five weeks ago.
I have to say that I have really big hip bones and my muffin tops have now become my target area. However, I am really pleased with my progress with the skin on stomach. It has really started to tighten.

I have not done a workout since Saturday. I am okay with that. If you train smart you don't have to workout six days a week. My goal is to do four-five CrossFit workouts a week.

 This is the end product this was taken last week. The skin has firmed up and my upper abdominals have taken a little bit more definition. A good plastic surgeon can do the rest :)

Seeing a difference

My Lunch Yesterday Had the same thing for dinner

Well I did the workout yesterday in 10:04
16 Ring Dips with the Hard elastic
12 Kettlebell Swings 25lbs
8 Push press 65lbs
I am pleased!!

This morning I woke up took a shower and I took a picture of my stomach and compared it to a pic I took three weeks ago. I really see a huge improvement I actually have a four pack at the top half of my stomach and the vertical line that lines out the rectus abdominus is really showing. I would post pictures however, after having kids lets just say my stomach is not the same. Maybe in a couple of days I will post after I have had time to think if I want viewers seeing my stretched out stomach. But hey its part of life so I might as well. ITS REALLL........

I have cut out eating any refine carbohydrates such as pasta, rice, bread and crackers. Also, I have limited my treats to once a week and not caving. I have to go teach a class right now so when I return home I will post some pictures.

I can't do it is yet! Not ready to show my stretchy belly. One day!

Peace out!!

Feeling the Burn

My Lunch yesterday. Ground beef and homemade coleslaw!

Well, I woke up this morning in a rush. I didn't hear my alarm go off and I had a client at 7:30am. I got up at 7:28am ran downstairs, scrapped the wind shield of the car and zoomed away.

Last night was terrible as I was exhausted from yesterdays workout. My son went to bed at 10pm and my daughter at 12 at night. I was awaken to take the 12 shift to put my daughter to bed. I woke up at 1am with a massive migraine and stayed awake until 4:30am. So basically I am running on an hour and half of SLEEP!!! AHHHH!!!

THE SNOW DAY YESTERDAY

Started to shovel after workout and gave up

Crazy snow storm

My Workout today is going to the workout that I was going to do yesterday at the gym:
