Thursday March 29 - Day 268

50 sit ups
50 Russian twists
50 calories on bike
3 rounds
time: 33:03

Blech.  The bike slows me WAY down.  But I did all 3 rounds and all reps, so I'm pleased with how it turned out.  My main focus with these workouts is to finish them.  The time I really worry about how fast I'm getting it done is during the AMRAP workouts.  Those I find myself pushing and pushing to get more rounds in.

I've gone three days without smoking.  I'm pleased with this, but would really like a cigarette.  :P

Tuesday March 27 - Day 267

20 calories on bike
10 deadlifts (95#)
15 push ups
20 alt v ups - each side (total of 40)
30 overhead lunges (10# plate)
3 rounds
25:11:04

I almost puked.  It was a mixture of the workout kicking my ass and the fact I quit smoking so my tummy is upset from the nicotine withdrawals.

Monday March 26 - Day 266

Man o man.  I never heard from The Trainer today, so I did a workout he gave me back in February.  I did really bad with it.

5 push press (15# db)
7 box jumps (20" box)
10 sit ups
15 AMRAP

Today, I did 7 rounds plus 5 push press & 5 box jumps.  Back in February when I did this same exact workout, I did 10 full rounds plus 5 push press.  *sigh*  so disappointing.  I know what I need to do.

Wednesday March 21 - Day 265

I forgot to post this Wednesday because I got distracted by the fact I didn't do all that well with it.

2 stair runs
10 deadlifts (95#)
10 push ups
50 Russian twists
15 minute AMRAP

While I just love AMRAP workouts, they are a good guide on how I'm doing throughout this journey.  I sucked with this one.  I've done one similar to this and nailed it with like 4 rounds + some stairs.  Wednesday, I did almost 3 full rounds (I was 10 twists shy of 3 full).  It was horrible.

I really need to quit smoking again.  Time to set a quit date and stick it out (again).

Tuesday March 20 - Day 264

Happy First Day of Spring!  It was 86 degrees here today.  Quite warm, but very low humidity so it wasn't unbearable!

10 knees to elbows (first time!)
10 ring rows
10 push ups
10 jump lunges
7 rounds
time: 19:08:57

This absolutely kicked my butt!  My arms and shoulders are so unhappy with me right now.  However, I'm thrilled because I was actually able to do the knees to elbows!  It was the first time he's given me those and I figured they couldn't be much different than the knee ups he's had me do, right?  I was right!  Instead of just raising my knees, I brought them all the way up to my elbows while I was hanging from the pull up bar!  Exciting!

Monday March 19 - Day 263

I never heard back from the Trainer today, so I had to make something up myself.  I decided to do a timed workout (AMRAP) so that I'd get outta there fast, but still get my butt kicked.  No matter how many times I make stuff up myself, I never seem to kick my ass the way he does.

10 push ups
15 sit ups
20 squats
20 minute AMRAP

I did a full 10 rounds + 10 push ups.  If you remember that far back, this is the exact amount I got on this the last time I did it.  Which tells me I half assed it today.  I didn't make any progress whatsoever with it.  Pfft.

Wednesday, March 14 Day 261 and Thursday March 15 Day 262

I forgot to post yesterday.

Wednesday -
30 calories on bike
50 sit ups
50 v ups
50 Russian twists
3 rounds

Blech.  My abs still hurt!

Thursday -
50 lunges
40 squats
30 push press (bar - 35#)
20 push ups
10 ring rows
4 rounds

My shoulder started aching in the 2nd round so I cut out some of the push ups and push presses.  The last round was the hardest, so I skipped the push ups completely.  This one has my arms AND my legs feeling like they are wet, heavy noodles right now!

Tuesday March 13 - Day 260

2 stair runs
10 burpees
10 ring rows
10 jump lunges
20 min AMRAP

4 full rounds + one stair run.

Having stairs AND burpees in the same workout exhaust me.  I've struggled keeping my eyes open, that's for sure.

Thursday March 8 - Day 259

I don't need to keep repeating myself, but I love AMRAP workouts.  Seriously, I do.  Within a certain time frame, I am done.  15 minutes, 20 minutes, whatever amount of time he gives me.

12 box jumps
10 v ups
8 push press
15 minute AMRAP
5 rounds + 10 box jumps

I love knowing exactly how long my workout is going to take me.  I love knowing that at 15 minutes, when my alarm goes off on my phone, I am done for the day.  I also find that I push myself more during one of these workouts.  I love them.

Wednesday March 7 - Day 258

1 stair run
10 deadlift (used 70# kettlebell)
10 burpees
10 knee ups on pull up bar
5 rounds - FAST
2 minute rest between each round
time: 29:22

Okay.  I actually did NOT ignore the FAST portion of this workout today.  I decided to do it exactly how he gave it to me.  I love it when I can Rx a whole workout!

Also, I was going so fast in the 3rd and 4th rounds, I tripped at the top of the stairs during both rounds.  I didn't hurt myself, but it slowed me down for a split second.  Burpees slow me way down cause they don't make my shoulder happy at all.

Tuesday March 6 - Day 257

100 calories on bike
100 squats
100 ring rows
100 push ups
100 sit ups
100 calories on bike

Seriously?!  It hurt.  I broke up everything into two rounds, except the bike.  I did all 100 calories before and after the other crap.  I'm exhausted!

Monday March 5 - Day 256

I decided not to bug The Trainer for a workout today.  He had sent me something on Friday, so I did that one since I missed Friday.

10 ring rows
20 push ups
30 alt v ups
40 squats
4 rounds
time: 20:24

Time to go read A Dance with Dragons!

Thursday - March 1 - Day 255

Somewhere along the way last week, I forgot to post a workout.  I skipped Wednesday, but I don't remember why.  I also skipped Friday because of the severe storms rolling through.  I was more focused on watching the weather and which way it was headed.

However, Thursday, I worked out on the apparatus bay floor with the guys:

4 stair runs
20 burpees
10 db push press
3 rounds

It wasn't pretty, but I finished it.  And it was pretty cool working out on the bay floor instead of in the basement.
