And you know what I did? I watched a heartwarming Adam Sandler comedy and worked out. . . . You're on the edge of your seat, aren't you.
I figured.
So let me back up and give you the highlight reel on the rest of my day.
First thing out of bed, I decided to whip out a hundred burpees to see if I could beat my record, and as an ultimate goal, achieve my landmark of 100 burpees in under 8 minutes. I did it in 7:59 last week, but I lost count-ish in the middle (somewhere around 70 I started actively having to concentrate on not barfing) - so I didn't count it because it may have been 97 or something in reality.
Anyway. My time today was. *drum roll please*
7:57!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT!
And THIS time, I know it was the full 100 :), so I am REALLY excited. I have had this goal for a while!
Ok, so then MKBBF and I headed to the Marietta Farmers Market and got 4 onions, 12 plums, 6 HUGE granny smiths, a big basket of green beans, red oak leaf lettuce, and a HUGE bibb lettuce for $15.00. AMAZING! Then completed our list of items to always have on hand at Whole Foods. I'll tell you what those items are tomorrow :).
Came back, took a nice afternoon nap. For dins: green beans and bamboo shoots sauteed with LOTS of fresh ginger, minced garlic, the juice of an orange and a lemon and plain chicken. NOM NOM. Simple food is SO tasty.
Then we watched Grown Ups (the aforementioned heartwarming Adam Sandler flick) while I gave myself a manicure. Yes, I maintain my nails. Yes, they're short because I am NOT going to have my fingernails inhibiting my ridiculous lifestyle :), but that doesn't mean I like to have scraggly cuticles or chipped polish. And by that I mean, I meticulously maintain my cuticles and re-polish my nails twice a week. It's one of the few relaxing self indulgent things I do. Working out is self indulgent (in a way) too, but I wouldn't put it in the relaxing category ha.
I just finished munching on a couple raw carrots and now I'm eating my Daddy's homemade salsa (also known as the best effing salsa EVER) with a spoon. MMMmmmmmm. Yup. You read that right. Eating salsa with a spoon. I must be from Texas or something . . . :D
Today's workout:
Morning:
100 burpees -7:57
DAMN that's cool to read. Again. :P
Night:
A)2 minutes speed roping (215 skips completed)
B)1 minute each:
Weighted Jumping Squats (10 lbs)
Elevated Back Leg One Leg Lunges w/ Weight (10 lbs) (30:30)
Low Jacks
Dead Lifts (45 lbs) - focus on form and speed/power with hip drive
Jump Lunges (10 lbs)
1/2 Squat to Calf Raise
C)capoeira spinning crab - instead of switching directions each rep do 20 one direction then 20 the other - for time! My result: 4:45
D)repeat part B)
E)8 minute abs
F)50 table top hip lifts (check out yesterday's post for the explanation - or drop me an e-mail at mckettlebelle@gmail.com)
AND, and and! MKBBF did parts D&E with me :). 6 minutes of Max-Fit and 8 minute abs. Always proud of him when he's able to pull himself away from the books to exercise! It's a difficult race between the two on his list of priorities, understandably, but tonight feeding his body won WOOHOO!
ROCK!
