Workout {Quick Abs}

I woke up this morning and everything was slightly sore. I really did do a lot yesterday. I had planned to go to the Y and do a quick 30 minutes of abs and maybe run a mile or two, but on second thought, I figured Why go to the Y when I can do that at home?!  Oh, and I didn't run.

So, I did this:

6 sets of regular crunches (40) and reverse crunches (40)

That's 480 crunches total. It took me 15 minutes.

Food {Thursday}

Breakfast {2 Eggs + 2 Toast + Fruit}

Snack {Walnuts}

Lunch {Asian-style Beef Soup + Open-face Turkey Burger}


Snack {2 Rice Cakes + Almond Butter}

Dinner {Parmesan-crusted Pork + Green Beans + Sweet Potato}



Cheat {2 Bowls of Cereal + Almond Milk}

Workout {Kettlebells, Etc. + Run}

This morning I had planned to go to the Y and lift weights followed by a run. However, Wednesday night a friend texted me asking to meet up at the middle school (our work) and join in a summer workout program. Of course, I was game. So, this morning we spent an hour and a half, and did this (approximately):

20 one-handed kettlebell cleans (each side) with 15 lbs
4 Turkish get-ups (each side) with 15 lbs
30 rope waves
30 rope drummers
20(?) shoulder presses with 18 lbs barbell
20 (?) bicep curls with 18 lbs barbell
figure 8 farmer's walk with 55 lbs kettlebell
figure 8 farmer's walk with 25 lbs kettlebell
10 wall ball throws 8 lbs ball
10 side wall ball throws (each side) 8 lbs ball

I know I did more once the middle school kids showed up, but I did 2 sets of the above plus some other exercises.

Later that day, Alex had a swim party, so I took the dogs and went for a run while she swam.  Mommies, if you spend time sitting at a sports practice for your kid, you are wasting a valuable opportunity to workout. GO FOR A RUN!
