Shoulder was feeling much better today....not burpee better, but better.
10 deadlifts (heavy)
20 push ups
30 v ups
5 rounds
Yuck, yuck and double yuck. The "heavy" for the deadlifts was 95 for me. I can't seem to build up the courage to go heavier yet. I'm sure I will eventually. We have some 10 pound plates I could add, to make it 115 or something. Just haven't been brave enough!

Monday - February 27 - Day 253
I asked for him to go light on my shoulder, since it's been bugging me since those burpees on Thursday. I didn't mention anything about my lower lung capacity cause of my sinus infection though.
3 stair runs
30 v ups
40 squats
50 Russian twists
3 rounds
I did this one pretty fast, I just wanted to be done and come home.

Thursday February 23 - Day 252
I couldn't do all of this. But, I tried my hardest and I got my butt kicked anyway.
4 stair runs
30 calories on bike
30 v ups
30 Russian twists
20 burpees
I hate to admit it, I've been fighting it, but my right shoulder is not right. It's acting funny and it hurts a lot throughout the day. Burpees make it pop and act strange. I cut out most of the burpees in this workout and I cut out some of the stairs. My allergies/sinus problem I'm having makes it hard for me to breathe through my nose, or at all sometimes so I did what I could.

Wednesday February 22 - Day 251
I woke up feeling worse than yesterday. My throat was dry and painful, my nose was all clogged up and I had started a bit of coughing. I need to break down and get something to help dry up the sinuses.
I had a feeling he was going to kick my butt, simply because I'm not feeling well. He doesn't know that I'm sick, I haven't told him.
2 stair runs
50 lunges
50 v ups
4 rounds
Uhhh yeah. I forgot how to breathe cause of the stair runs, but I did it all - even with my cold.

Tuesday February 21 - Day 250
250 workouts ago, I did my first workout of:
1 stair run
15 squats
10 push ups (on knees)
20 lunges
15 sit ups
3 rounds
My how times have changed. I recently told him I'd like to learn how to do a pull up. So this means I need to strengthen my arms and upper body. Ummm yikes. For the last week, you'll notice I've had A LOT of things with arms in them.
2 stair runs
20 calories on bike
10 ring rows
20 jump squats
5 rounds
Ouch! My arms were already sore from the push ups and jumping pull ups from yesterday. Ugh. I may not be able to wash my hair tomorrow. Which will make me a little cranky that I have to turn my head upside down in the shower. But I will wash my hair like that if I can't raise my arms.
I've noticed some marked improvement in the ring rows. I used to have to almost stand up completely to complete them. Now I'm at such an angle were I'm about halfway to the ground. YAY! I will work on those and will soon be able to lay straight (above the ground) on my back and pull myself up. I figure I'll hit that milestone around the same time as I hit the regular (or butterfly form) pull up.

Monday, February 20 - Day 249
I had this weird feeling he would be giving me jump ropes today. I don't know why. He tends to give them to me on the shift I like the least.
10 jumping pull ups
20 push ups
30 squats
150 jump ropes
4 rounds
Seriously?! A total of 600 jump ropes....*sigh* Do you want to know what a bunch of firefighters do when a woman does jump ropes around them? They stop what they are doing and they stare. They make it obvious they are staring too. There is one shift where NOT ONE of them makes it obvious they are staring. Today was NOT that shift. Thankfully though, there were only two of them and one of them didn't do it at all that I saw and the other was distracted enough in his workout to not pay me any attention.

Every now and then, he goes kinda easy on me. Even though what I consider "easy" may not be for the fitness beginner....
20 calories on bike
20 jump squats
20 push ups
20 ring rows
5 rounds
It had me sweating, and it didn't really kick my ass like I'm used to. I'm not complaining!

Friday, February 10 - Day 244
I did Zumba yesterday. We did a full Zumba workout this time and I still didn't really get anything out of it. I broke a sweat a few times and was not huffing and puffing when I was done. I know what a good workout for me feels like and that was not it. I'll be sticking to Crossfit from now on.
However, after today's punishment workout, I am doubting my abilities:
25 burpees
50 thrusters (35# barbell)
50 box jumps
25 burpees
50 v ups
50 jump squats
25 burpees
50 ring rows
50 push ups
25 burpees
During the 2nd set of burpees, I heard and felt my right shoulder (previously injured one) "pop" It didn't hurt, but it sure didn't feel good. I skipped the burpees for the rest of this workout.
I did 35 jump squats, ring rows and push ups. I tried to do the last set of burpees, but the shoulder did not feel right so I stopped. I'm icing it and will baby it this weekend.

Wednesday February 8 - Day 243
I don't even want to talk about this one. I guess he was punishing me for NOT doing Crossfit stuff yesterday. Or it could have been that I told him I didn't really get all that much of a workout from the Zumba. I swear to God, if I don't learn to keep my mouth shut around this guy sometime soon, I'm gonna scream.
3 stair runs
25 calories on the bike
100 jump ropes
5 rounds
Nothing but cardio right there my friends. I'm sleepy and just want to curl up in a ball somewhere!
I did, however, somehow luck out and no one was in the gym when I was doing the jump ropes. I don't like doing those when there are a bunch of guys downstairs with me. It just is weird. My goodies jiggle and it makes me self conscious. There are very few of them I feel 100% comfortable in front of and it's not today's platoon.

Today, we did Zumba....
I didn't do a Crossfit style workout today. One of the ladies at work said she wanted to do Zumba with us, so we thought we'd give it a shot. There were three of us in the conference room.
Today we just did the basics and learned some of the steps. It was a 50 minute instructional dvd walking us through the steps and some of the dance moves. I feel like I half assed a workout.
Tomorrow will be back to regular workouts and then Thursday we are going to do the 50 minutes "cardio party" and get into the Zumba thing. I'll see how I feel after that.
After doing Crossfit style stuff for over a year, it felt weird not getting my butt kicked while doing something fitness related.
We'll see how long I last with that.

Monday February 6 - Day 242
I was sooooo ready for this workout today! I had gone to Lexington for a conference over the weekend, so I missed Friday. And of course, they had the MOST delicious chocolate cake at the dinner Saturday night. I needed today to work that off!
100 jump ropes
25 calories on bike
15 burpees
10 dumbbell push press (15# each hand)
3 rounds
Not too bad, I suppose. I did it in less than 26 minutes (not great) and it kicked my butt. I was in a good mood when I left the firehouse so I'm thinking it did its job!

I have no words....

100 push ups
100 squats
100 v ups
25 calories on bike
8 stair runs
I subbed a few things and changed it up a bit. I did sit ups instead of v ups. After the push ups, my shoulder did not like the whole stretching up and forward for the v ups so I subbed those. I also broke the 100's into 3 or 4 different rounds so that I could make sure to get all 100 of each exercise in. On the last 8 stair runs - I only ran 6.

Wednesday February 1 - Day 240
I was feeling a little sore in the arms from the push ups yesterday, but nothing major. He sent me something around 2pm this afternoon.
10 deadlifts (95#)
10 db shoulder press (15# each hand)
10 lunges
10 ring rows
20 Russian twists
5 rounds
It took me 16:42.66 to do all 5 rounds. Not to bad, I guess. It sufficiently kicked my butt.
