Looked easy

>> Thursday, May 20, 2010

I did NOT want to go workout tonight. I hadn't eaten which I realize now was probably a big part of it. I should have made myself a snack and it's very likely I would have felt better. But I didn't. Michael came home and I was really hoping he would accept my awesome and brilliant idea of simply staying at home and relaxing.

Nope.

Damn husbands.

And what does he say? "The workout is easy tonight, it'll be quick."

I should have known right then and there that tonight's workout would be anything but easy. It appears deceptively simple on paper-
20 shoulders to overhead 75# (all this means is to get it up into a shoulder press position in anyway possible- whether you jerk it up, press it up, it's all good, as long as you just get it up)  ...
40 burpees

...you could partition these any way you want so the weight was heavier than normal. 75# is a lot of weight to do 20 times!

For the burpees, I did the push-ups at the bottom but I did not do the jump at top. I didn't want to upset my calves anymore.

My time = 6:36!

Like I said, looks easy right?

Also, I'm not sure if it constitutes cheating, but tonight we had Subway for dinner. I'm pretty sure that's cheating, but it definitely could have been worse. It's Thursday and it's the first time all week I've cheated even in the slightest so that's good. We left the gym and neither of us felt like making anything when we got home. Confessional concluded!

Until tomorrow,

That is a serious workout I HATE burpees!

Seriously lame-o cheating, Kelas. Subway, really? Unless you got a pizza sub or something I'm guessing your "cheating" was pretty mild.

Good for you working out even though didn't feel like it. And good for Mike pushing you. You'll be better off in the long run for it.
