  • Deadlifts in today’s workout

    Last week I mentioned how I was buckling down and really re-focus on what I am eating. I lost 2lbs this past week — which was welcome news. I have been having a 150 calorie ice cream treat every night and I decided to cut that out 5x a week to see if it could…

  • Workout in the Heat and Humidity

    Hot, humid = Sweaty!  It looked like we all just took a shower to give you an idea of how sweaty we were at the end of the workout. For me, it felt like I was getting back to my old self — I found the heavier weight challenging but not too hard — and…

  • Workout Wednesday with a Modified Handstand Push-up

  • Focus on losing the last few pounds

    It was a hot and sweaty workout – but I felt good and finished in the 30 min time limit. My upper body is sore from yesterday’s workout – a good sore! I felt really good about today’s workout. It was hard and challenging but it was great. I feel good and was in a…

  • Monday’s Workout is a wrap

    Most of the group is back from various trips, injuries and vacations! It’s always great to workout with the usual group – we just are all in synch. I feel much better after 3 days away from camp. I had more energy and strength. I am now a FIRM believer in rest and recovery. The…

  • It’s a Struggle

    I’m struggling. My weight is up, my body fat is up – my motivation and morale are low. It’s very frustrating and depressing. I am not going to lie about it – it sucks! I don’t know what’s going on inside of me — I am trying to reignite the fire but it’s a struggle……

  • Cheaters!

    Cheaters! « LifeAsRx. I find this post humorous – it’s something I think about a lot too — cheating on your reps. I remind myself that you are only hurting yourself if you cheat and it’s not about other people – it’s about me. Sometimes that works, other times it pisses me off when I…

  • Lunges vs Me

    Once again I meet up with my nemesis – the walking lunge but with a twist — pressing the 20lb dumbbells over your head. I think this is probably one of my very very very LEAST favorite exercises and then to have to do it for 50 yards – that’s just overkill and mean. Mikey…

  • A Nice Surprise – a cool morning!

    It was a pleasant morning with temps in the 60s. What a nice surprise – made the workout that much easier — NOT! But, it’s done and I can start my day. Warmup side shuffle push-ups checkpoints skip jumps Core x2 partner ball toss 14lb dynamax ball hold and freeze 25 partner double high five…

  • Here’s my workout for the day – what did you do?

    So while I feel night and day better now that I have finished my antibiotics – I feel that I am not at 100% yet. I did OK during the workout and have to remember that heck, at least i DID the workout.  I need to get better at remembering to appreciate the successes and…
