1/2-1/3/15

Yesterday was date night, so I decided to walk on the treadmill because it's faster than lifting. Then I stopped after 20 minutes when the poop fairy dropped by. When you're pregnant & get a visit from the poop fairy, YOU DROP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING AND GO POOP!

Today, after losing my ever loving mind this morning, I went to my work gym & did strong lifts.

Squats@ 70#
OHP @ 40#
DL #65#

Stronglifts after work yesterday.

Squats 65# 5x5
Bench 40# 5x5
Upright row 40# 5x5

Today we had open gym at hub's work. Ran around the basketball court chasing balls, bouncing them & climbing things. Then tot wanted to go into the workout room & he climbed all over everything.

Tomorrow is date night...Yay! I wasn't going to workout but I might just stop by the gym to do a short treadmill walk. I want to keep my motivation going. It's terribly cold out & I have a sore ankle from unknown injury, so no jogging attempts I think.

12/29/2014

Worked today. Stopped at the station gym to do Stonglifts 5x5. Not sure if it was workout A or B, but I just go back & forth with the two.

Wu: 600 m row
Squat: 55# 5-5-5-5-5
OHP: 30# 5-5-5-5-5
Deadlift: 55# 1-1-1-1-1
CD: stretch

I usually do my press with dumbbells but some guy was all beasting out by the 15 s, so I went with a bar. It's already feeling heavy, while squats are still light & easy.

An Inconvenient Motivation

I don't know why I'm so motivated when all of a sudden I'm pregnant again. The two do not go together. I wanted to get up early, before the tot, & take the dog for a little walk/jog. I don't sleep much anyway. As it happens though, I couldn't talk my tired pregnant carcass out of bed that early. I did, however, smush the tot into his snow bibs and take him for a short, half mile-ish walk. After nap perhaps I'll let him ride his bike so I can get my jog in.

1/2 mile stroll w/tot & dog

In spite of planning for more outdoors time yesterday, it didn't happen. A haircut for the tot did, along with the longest "rinse-off" bath in history. Bath crayons really make the time fly!

Neglect

That's what I've been doing to my workouts. Baby and I caught a cold. I was afraid to take cold meds because I didn't want breastfeeding to suffer. Instead, I suffered and chose not to exercise very much. Ah well.

I think I'm finally back in the groove and plan on doing better this week.

Back in the Saddle

My first week back to work sucked. Sucked. I thought I was going to have to quit my job, but everything worked out, and I'm still there. I didn't do any exercising besides the first day and rushed home every single day to hang with my kiddo. I can totally see how people fall off the workout wagon after having children. Lucky me, I actually get to use an hour of my workday for exercise, so I really don't have any good excuse!

This week, my schedule sucked, but I did jump back into exercise.
