Rain and heavy squats on this Monday. Supposed to be 10 sets of doubles, missed the second lift on 185# twice. But not a bad start to the week. I love strength days! #fitnesslifestyle #fitfam #fitmom #squats #peanutbutterbooty #squatbuttsarehotbutts #hairhipsandhell #bighair #athexapp #strong #crossfit #crossfitfondren #strengthday #strongissexy #fitover40 #40isthenew20fit #beautifullybadass #unapologeticallyme #builtbykinslowandscience (at CrossFit Fondren) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqGj50ZFCnJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1axr5y96wbv0y

If your workout gets easy, it means you are getting stronger and it’s time to amp it up! I am really testing my limits at the gym this month! #WorkTowardsStronger #StrengthDay #Gym #Equinox #GirlsThatLift #Fitness #Health #Nutrition #FatLoss #FitInFifteen #omwithatwist

Strength Training and Introspection

Today is a strength training day, and the workout was Ice Cream Fitness 5x5 Workout A. Since I didn’t go to bed until around 1:30 this morning, I didn’t get up until 30 minutes before work, so I decided to go to the gym on my lunch break, with the permission of my coworkers to take a longer lunch.

Goblet (Goblin) Squats 45#x1x3, 60#x1x3, 75#x5x5

Wide Grip Bench Press 75#x5x5

Bent Over Rows 60#x5x5

Barbell Shrugs 110#x5x5

Skullcrushers 45#x3x8

Straight Bar Curls 50#x3x8

Back Extensions w/ 15# 3X10

Cable Crunches w/ 45# 3x10

My thoughts: That was a long dang lunch, made longer by the fact that I felt shaky after my workout and decided to get takeout instead of going home and cooking. My lunch was healthy - steak fajitas with no rice, beans, or tortillas, mixed veg on the side, and half of a sweet potato - but it cost kind of a lot of time away from work plus the money spend on it. That’s the result of poor planning. It made me think about my processes, and how I can improve them. 

What could I have done differently? For starters, If I’d gone to bed two hours earlier, I could have gotten up 90 minutes earlier, had time to work out before my shift, still gotten to work on time, and I’d have gotten an extra half-hour of sleep. My lunch wouldn’t have needed to be as long, and my coworkers wouldn’t have had to cover my end of the (admittedly minor) workload for that time. I do enjoy sleeping in just a bit on Saturdays, but when I think about my dad, who met his challenges head-on, and insisted on getting up, showering, and getting dressed every day, even when receiving chemotherapy. He didn’t let that hardship keep him from greeting his day, rather than just letting it happen around him. Dad greeted the day; I can do the same.

Also, I need to meal prep. Whether weekly, daily, or monthly (if i’m feeling crazy), having a meal ready to go right after my workout will mitigate that shakiness, provide me with healthy eats, and generally support my overall goal of building toward the best version of myself.

Today's @justmove workout was @kaisafit 8x8. I need to figure out why my left hand is having NONE OF IT in the push up plank rows. I keep having to put my hand down (instead of staying on my weight) before I row. Ow. #mondaymotivation #workout #strengthday https://instagr.am/p/CRhmEmdLIN3/
