"Are you serious?!?!?"

So today's workout literally had me on the ground after I was done as you can see to the left. 

However, it was a good time and I am really proud of myself for getting through it. I think that I could have gotten in one more full round so that will be my goal for the next time.

So this weekend Santos and I went down to Roseville and hung out with some of his friends from high school who we are still pretty close to. It was a great time. We also got a new skateboard for me so that he and I could cruise around town together! We went all over the place!

Then Easter Sunday was a good morning at church followed by dinner that evening. Not your traditional meal but we had tri-tip, creamed spinach, and salad. Not really zone either but it was still good.

Hope everyone had a happy easter!

Monday Monday

So it has been a good 3 days since I have worked out... FYI this is a bad idea. Then everyone and then mother mowed their lawn near my home so as I was starting my workout which was going to be once a round the block, 25 kb swings, 25 dball slams, around the block, 20, 20, block, 15, 15, block, 10, 10, block, 5, 5 however, I started breathing in a way that was not from the workout and needed to stop after third run. I just started my allergy meds today so hopefully I can come back and try this workout again later this week because it is really disappointing when you can not finish that which you started. 

In the end today's workout looked something like this:

Warm up - 2 rds 15 push ups, 15 dislocates, 15 sit ups, 15 squats and 200 jumprope jumps

once around the block 25 swings, 25 slams, around the block, 20, 20 and once around the block.

Next (after a substantial break to get my breathing back) 3 rounds of 8 deadlifts at 85lbs.

3 rounds of 3 turkish getups on each arm with 3 windmills at the top.

3 rounds of 12 at 25 lbs. dumbbell rows. Below are the pics from today's workout. 

Finished the day off with fajitas. yum yum!!

Bowling Workout

So instead of working out tonight we went bowling and had chili cheese fries and onion rings...

We don't own a washer and dryer

Dinner tonight was mashed Cauliflower with cheese and porkchops with onion, spinach, mushrooms, garlic and salsa. mmmmm good. 

As you can see from the pics I wore the same thing yesterday when I worked out. 

Today's workout consisted of 

Bench press

45 lbs x 15, 15 

65 lbs x 8,8,8,8,8 (going up next time) This is much better then the last time I did this last week.

The next picture is single arm dumbbell rows

Looking forward to how I will be feeling tomorrow. My workout partner was my hubbie today as my friend Rhonda might be getting sick!! I would rather do a crossfit workout then the strength stuff but that is ok. peace!

Today's workout was a hob glob of different movements.

We started out with our warm up which usually includes the following:

In other thoughts, summer is coming and even at 8 in the morning our front room is starting to feel warm before we even get started working out. So in honor of summer I made a big thing of Iced tea which I am sure will only last through today and I will need to make more tonight, but it is on of my favorite things to enjoy on a hot summer day and it will be great after a long hard workout. Peace!

"The Beach Muscle Work Out"

90% of the time we are doing full body functional movements

10% of the time we do isolation movements

So today he had me barbell bench-press

15 reps at 15 lbs

10 reps at 35 lbs

10 reps at 45 lbs

8 reps at 65 lbs

On a side note I am very excited that I am going to be starting Shane Claibourne's new book Jesus for President. I read his last book Irresistible Revolution and loved it so hopefully I will not be disappointed with his next.

Weekend in SD

Santos and I went down south this weekend to go to a friend's wedding and to hang out with friends. We were pretty proud of ourselves on the way down because we stuck fast to eating healthy and did not stop for fast food on the way down. 

We took 99 because we stayed at my grandmother's house in Modesto Thursday night. On the way down there was a minor traffic jam and we saw this bus that was totally perpendicular to the road. 

We started out in Newport beach and went to a wedding on a boat. Kimmie was beautiful. I also got to see my best friend Katie and her boyfriend James. 

That night we went and stayed with one of Santos' client in Laguna then we had breakfast at the Sapphire http://www.sapphirellc.com/     Laguna AMAZING food and the view was beautiful. I had forgotten how much I miss being able to see the ocean every day!! 
Santos loved playing with Dave's remote control helicopters.

That night we went and meet up with our friends Dave and Stephanie in Del Mar and went to downtown San Diego to watch UFC 82 where Silva rocked Henderson it was beautiful. 

All in all it was a great trip and we are looking forward to our next one! 

Peace out!
