Wicked Wednesday - 500 Reps!

Well, it's a sure sign that I'm feeling better - we had a great noon hour workout! I felt like I gave 95% for the whole workout! I didn't bail part way though, or only do half of the amount when I know I can do all. Good for me! I'm really happy that I had the energy and motivation to work hard through this one. It wasn't a timed workout, instead its was geared toward reaching a specific number of reps - I tend to focus more on form and produce better results with these types of workouts.

We actually did this workout a few weeks ago. Laurissa kept track of our reps and todays goal was to at least meet the same number, if not better it. Now, you'll all know I'm competitive so I was determined to better some of my numbers from before! Today, Shanan was hell-bend and determined to keep up - which makes me push harder, and in turn makes her push harder!! Thanks for the extra motivation Shanan! Heheheeh : )

Here's today's workout - its call 500 reps. We did the same workout on January 29th and I did 460 reps, this time I did 600 (if my math is correct) - That's improvement! Here's what it was:

1. Prison Squats (50)
2. Push ups (40)
3. Turkish get-ups (this is a kettlebell move - we did it without a kettlebell) (25 each side = 50)
4. Swing thoughs (lunge forward, swing leg into a rear lunge) (25 each side = 50 with 1 forward and 1 rear being 1)
5. Sit ups (with soles of feet together) (50)
6. Side crunches (50)
7. Plank with knee tuck (stay in plank bring knee into elbow and hold) (50)
8. Reverse plank with legs kick (keeping hips raised, bend knee and raise other knee bent to your chest and back) (50)
9. Swing throughs - Forward lunge into a rear lunge =1 (50)
10. Sit ups (soles of feet together) (50)
11. Turkish get ups (15 each side = 30)
12. Push up: wide legged regular push ups (30)
13. Two jumps forward/ two jumps backward (50 where a forward and back is 1)

And, here's what I looked like afterwards (back in my office):

Notice the red face? I'm not a sweat-er...I'm a redder. I wish I would sweat, but I don't, never have. Oh well. Good 'food' day. I forgot my lunch, and bought turkey wraps, a banana and chocolate milk (my newest addiction). As we ate late I didn't even need a mid afternoon snack! Supper is crockpot stew and a bun...yummmmmy!

Hopefully I can get the girls out for a good 30 walk tonight....I'm working and striving for another 2lb loss this Sunday!! Crossing my fingers. I'm also heading out to look for BIKINI'S (for our trip which is now 7 weeks away) this weekend -eeeeekkkk!!!! more on that later!

Nitey nite!
