From the moment I woke up the day was good! Things went smoothly with my boys this morning, traffic was there as always but I just relaxed through it. Got to work and sat down for a few minutes before I had to head back outside with all the other Quoizelians in the building to greet a few of our customers who were visiting; that turned out to be fun and the customers loved seeing everyone outside to welcome them.
My legs and my butt are really hurting today from Monday and Tuesdays workouts. I wasn’t sure how I was going to get through what Brent had planned for today…my legs started to burn almost as soon as I started my workout. It was pretty serious…WOW! We had to do as many power cleans and burpees as possible within a certain amount of time. I think, for the power cleans it was 8 minutes, I did 130 of them J . As far as burpees go I think I did 56 or 57, I’m not sure what the time was on that. Then…and I forgot how we calculated this…based on my power clean numbers and burpee numbers we had to figure out how many jump ropes and box jumps we had to do. My total was 304 of each! I can’t help but wonder if I added and multiplied wrong…hmmmm. The jump ropes were pretty easy, the box jumps, not so much. I didn’t finish them before our group workout was over so Brent added them into my one on one session immediately following. I had to do 22 box jumps then run 4 laps around a row of racks. We were hoping to do 10 rounds of that. Although the 10 rounds didn’t happen, I’m no sure how many did happen, it truly was a GREAT workout and I think I did pretty good! Brent thought I did well to. He and I had to have a few conversations about being more positive about the exercises that I am weak at. He lets me know when I have a negative look on my face so I can smile instead. I can’t begin to tell you what a difference that’s made; especially with my running. I’m really beginning to see and feel a difference in my running and the way I view it. I still have LOTS of work to do, but I am well on my way to that “Start” line.
My diet was good again today. I did have a bad carb, maybe 2 but it was small so I’m ok with that small cheat. I have it in my mind that I need to eat healthy to be able to do this run. I stopped obsessing over having to lose weight just because I need to. I know, I’m such a head case, it’s pretty bad when I have to sort of trick my own mind into thinking something else so I don’t go on these crazy binges. But whatever the case may be, it’s working for me!
TJ is still kicking butt with his eating to! The long weekend will certainly be a test to see how well we do.
Still keeping my friend who is struggling in my prayers…things are becoming more complex as the days go by. My heart is breaking for her…it’s a very sad situation. I’m trying to not let it affect me too much, I’m afraid that if it does I won’t be able to support her when she needs it most.
