Golden Birthday 4/7/15

My Day
Today is my youngest sons "Golden Birthday" (he turns 7 on the 7th). Today is all about being present, no mindless snacking, knowing I am drinking plenty of water, and focus. During The Open I did not do extra accessory work - that all gets added back in today. Lots of body weight work and running. Bleh. I know I need it, but it's just SO hard! The day ended up great. We had family over for dinner, there was a light rain, and all is right in the world.

My Food
Breakfast: eggs, sweet potatoes, mint tea
Snack: Ostrim Peppered beef stick
water water water water water water
Lunch: three hotdogs (no bun and no fillers), cabbage, La Croix Apricot water
Snack: sugar free latte
Dinner: Spaghetti squash and meatballs. MMMMMMMM and a few chocolate covered strawberries - only cause it's Mason's birthday ;)

Getting Shit Done 4/2/15

The Day

Today was a great day. I got my Easter Bunny shopping done and got stuff for Mason's birthday (on Tuesday). We went out to lunch with a friend and just had a great day. Didn't get into the box today, but had Sam come up with some stuff for me to do. I did Diane (scaled) and rowed. I played around with the go pro a bunch too. Gotta figure out all the cool stuff it can do.

Just too cute!

The Food

Breakfast: Smoked Salmon. Yum

Lunch: Sloppy Joe (no bun), Iced Tea, Fries, Salted Caramel Pop Tart. (yup)

mine didn't have that caramel on top. feel a little robbed

Dinner: Shrimp and broccoli

The WOD

1. Diane: 21-15-9

Deadlift (155#)

Hand Stand Push Ups 

4:45

I can't do HSPU's. Not even a little bit.  I can't engage anything to get back up. The worst.

I love a handstand. Can do those all day long. All Day. 

The workout:

2. 10:00 Row intervals :30 sprint/ :30 easy

Rowed 2175 meters. This sucked. It was hard. I stayed in the 1:50's for the sprint.

3. 4x28 abmat sit ups

You saw the video. Gotta get that core in check and work off that gut. Bleh

Such a great day. Get out there. Lift something. Have fun.
