Back in business!
>> Monday, December 6, 2010
Wow! What a hiatus! With family visiting two weeks ago and then last week being a "rest week", I feel like it's been forever since I've done any sort of exercise. I guess I worked out a little bit when my sister was here but not a lot, not like I normally do in a week.
Tonight was my first workout in quite a while and it felt great! I was really starting to feel like a bum- my back was stiff, my neck was tight, I was moody- all signs of being too darn lazy. Well, actually, that moodiness is all me all the time, but let's move on...
Tonight I did 5-5-5-5-5 of overhead squats.
The last time I did overhead squats wasn't that long ago actually- September 6th. On that day, I did 3-3-3-3-3 and ended on 65#. Even then I said I could probably do more but didn't want to push it. I have no idea why some days I say, "Let's just go for it and see what happens" and then other days I say, "Nah, I don't want to push it."
Today I ended up doing 70# for 5 reps so I'm pretty stoked considering 3 short months ago I did 65# for only 3 reps. Not too shabby!
Then we did an AMRAP12 team WOD where the runner sets the time for that round=
Run
Knees to elbows
Kettlebell swings
Reverse rows
Tire flips and jumps
Jump rope
It was a lot of fun! The 12:00 flew by actually and my legs didn't feel too bad considering I had just done overhead squats.
Below is a picture of our dining room table. It may not seem like a big deal, but I bought new placemats this weekend and I just love them. The wall in our kitchen is green and I mean G-R-E-E-N. It was that way when we moved in and at first, I hated it. It's grown on me that's for sure. We have dark orange towels and also some green ones. Finding placements with bright green (not lime green) with dark orange and burgandy (also in the towels) was tough.

I really like those placemats! Ties it all together very nicely. Still looking for a tablecloth or something like that for my table....I alway shy away from patterns and I need to get over it! yours look great!
I like your placemats too. They actually remind me of the curtains I have in our bedroom - not the same colors, but the same kind of exotic feel.
I wish we were doing more decorating for the holidays this year. We have the perfect house for classic decorations, but sadly, doing it all on my own is lame so just the tree and our little lantern this year.
