So I haven't posted since Monday. Let me first explain why, then I'll post about today's workout. Tuesday through Wednesday myself and my son took a last minute trip to Galveston with some friends. I had all intentions of going to CrossFit to do my workout Tuesday morning. The way I procrastinate could almost be considered a disorder. That being said, I obviously didn't pack until right before we left Tuesday morning. No time for a workout.

Tuesday afternoon from 3pm-8pm we were all at Schlitterbahn Water Park in Galveston. The amount of steps I took up those rides and the amount of arm movements I made in the lazy river should DEFINITELY be considered a workout! Keeping up with a 4 year old (who has no fear) is hard work! He wanted to ride one ride after the other non stop! It was a GREAT time and I'm so proud of my boy! There was nothing he didn't want to try.

Wednesday morning I decided to do a workout in my hotel room. I know if I go too many days in a row without working out I'm gonna quit, so I have to push myself. Never in a million years did I think I'd be that person who while on a vacation decides to workout! My son was asleep, so I didn't want to wake him to go down to the gym. I remembered my Box had posted a workout around the 4th of July that I didn't do since we were on vacation then too. It was a workout that required no weights or equipment of any kind. That workout in addition to 45mins of serious peddling on those multi-rider bicycles was PLENTY for Wednesday in my opinion! Here's what the workout consisted of:
Hero WOD: "Laredo"
Six rounds for time of: [Me: 4 rounds in 20mins]
24 Squats
24 Push-ups
24 Walking lunge steps
Run 400 meters [Me: Substituted 50 Mountain Climbers per round]
Now onto Thursday. Wednesday night we didn't get home until 3am. There was NO way I'd be making it to a 6:30am workout Thursday morning. I again had good intentions...wanted to go to a workout later in the day because I had been missing out on all of the weighted workouts that I really want to keep incorporating. I was a complete walking zombie ALL day long! My son and I laid down for a nap at 2:30pm and didn't get up until 5:30pm! Even then after that three hour nap I was still feeling out of it. Wednesday's activities just really took everything out of me. I've been giving CrossFit my all, so I decided to just take a rest day and not beat myself up about it.
Finally Friday! This morning my alarm went off at 5:30 as usual. I snoozed, then snoozed again, then decided to take another rest day. 6:00 comes along and I'm laying there, staring at the clock, wondering if I still have enough time to get dressed and haul butt to the Box. I got up, got dressed, practically inhaled a fiber bar and mixed up a Spark. Got to the Box two minutes late, but completed the warm up and got in the groove.
Today's WOD Skill: SDHP
AMRAP 10 [Me: 3 reps + 15 SDHP & 1/2 lap bear crawl]
15 SDHP (45/35) [Me: 35lb kettlebell!! :-)]
1 Lap Bear Crawl
Those bear crawls killed me today. My thighs are SO sore from peddling that bike in Galveston!! I think I may hate bear crawls more than hand stand push ups and that's saying a lot. I'm pretty proud to say that I finally have done a workout as prescribed! I feel like I'm getting stronger! WOOHOO!
**Side note: My husband keeps making comments to me about different physical things he's noticing that are changing!! I love it!! I haven't really noticed a HUGE difference with the exception of having more energy and my clothes fitting just a little better, but I think I'd rather him notice the changes more than myself or anyone else!
I'm ready for this weekend! Planning on lots of fun in the sun as long as I can get this house cleaned up today. I am "intending" on possibly doing some running this weekend also. We shall see if those intentions go through! HAHA! Have a great weekend everyone!
