3-19-2009 Supposed to be a rest day.

Well happy thursday! So i started this blog in hopes i would sit down every night to as least post my thoughts, but obviously that hasn't happend. It has been a weird week for me. Physicaly, mentally & emotionally. I have had a world of ups & downs through the last several months with life & family so trying to get back on track isn't always easy. I'm now down to my last week of materntiy leave & am getting really depressed. I got to take 8 weeks off. I enjoyed being at home & envy any mom who gets to do so full time. Now i get to return my life of a full time job & full time mom. Enough of my babbling. 
 
Today was a reat day, but i came in thanks to Danielle. I chose to to the rowing, ball slam, & DB push press WOD. I finished in 12:45 as was pretty happy with myself. I paced myself a little on the rows, but didn't have to stop & rest. My endurance has gone down as well as other things. gotta keep telling myself that it is going to take time to get back to where i was. Overall it was a great way to finish my day. 

600-500-400 Row
12-15-21 Ball Slams (16lb)
10-10-10 DB Push Press (20lbs)

Monday 3-9-2009. I'm Back!

Well for some crazy reason i decided to sit down & start my own blog. I realized that it may be a great idea, not only to have a place for my thoughts, but a place to track my progress as well. It may be about my day, my workout, or about nothing at all but just some random thoughts. 

It's good to be able to say today that I'm back!  Yes, i got the official a-ok from the doctor today. No more excuses, not that having a baby isn't a good one!  Overall i feel continuing to work out during my pregnancy was the best thing i could have done. I'm only six weeks out from having Teagan & I'm down to my pre-pregnancy weight (Yah!). The last WOD done was in the second week of December & then it was nothing until now. There are some regrets for stopping so soon. It's always hard when you work so hard to get to where you are & then you have to take 2 steps backwards. Such is life. I'll be back better & stronger in no time!  I'm really looking forward to the heavy lifting, especially the squats & dead lift (my two favorite). I can't wait. 

So, as for today's WOD it was good. I could still do the handstand pu's (using ab mats) & KTEs w/a little help). It was awesome.
