Eva is a hoochie mama

So last night I was feeling crummy with cramps and just blah from Aunt Flo. Her vists are never welcome with me... My wonderful hubby came home from work with a slurpee for me! Aren't I the luckiest gal ever? So thoughtful...

I headed to the gym this morning for Day 2 of my AM workouts.

Not too bad once I got started. I did learn that I need to wake up a little sooner and eat earlier though. I felt a little "heavy" while exercising... otherwise, it was good.

Oh, I also learned I need to appear less approachable apparently, because I had a lot of people start chatting it up with me mid-workout. It's very different for me. I'm not usually a rotten bitch at the gym or anything, but I'm there to get the job done. The people there in the mornings workout, I think, (at least they appear to be in good shape) but they also chat a lot. They all seem to know each other and poke fun at each other. It's really a great environment, much different than the evening crowd where posing in front of the mirror and listening to your Ipod is more common.

Since most of my workouts are for time, the chatting isn't really my thing. Sure, we can chat when I'm done, but not during.

Today's WOD was Eva and she kind of hurt me.

4 rounds:
400 meter sprint
20 reps, 35# kettlebell swing
20 pull-ups (assisted level 10)

Total time = 26:01.

It was tough. I had to scale it because I can't do 80-100 pull-ups which was what the prescribed workout called for. This was the scale that allowed for assisted pull-ups. After swinging a 35# dumbbell over my head 80 times though, my hands/fingers were so sore I'm glad I did assisted- I don't think I could hang onto a bar without the help. Damn Eva...

I'll get her next time though.

Now I'm at work and I really don't want to be. I'm tired and would rather sleep. Hopefully the coffee wakes me up...
