hit day 6 today

and for some reason was NOT tired at the end. So I did abs for awhile and then decided to add spiders to the end of the workout. death. dying. death. 

definitely feeling how weak my core has gotten in recent months- I can feel it in my back and when I have to fight to hold just a basic hollow position. Not even sure where to go to fix that..I just know I need to.

lifted yesterday which was good. Sundays I spend with the boy and he is religious about sundays being rest days ONLY so...back at it for #nevermissmonday tomorrow!

decided to just start crush60 over again, because of the two week vacation I took. I was really enjoying it, so hopefully the second start at it will be even better.

Finally got back into the gym. I took a much needed break over the holidays and relaxed SO much, but chest day happened! Also saw a guy attempting some handstands and decided to be that person and offer some advice. Hopefully he took it as helpful and not annoying and rude. Who knows!

Goldilocks.

Yessss. Finished day six today and really beginning to feel more confident with the adjustable cable thing. It usually makes me so anxious because I wonder if I set it right- is it high/low enough? Enough weight? Which handle thingamajig do I use? But today it was juuuuust right every exercise. Boom.

THIS. THIS IS ME RIGHT NOW

Congratulations; you made it through another day! You have reached your new personal best.

Your record for longest amount of consecutive days without dying has reached a personal best. Well done, you.

Fitness part of me is super pleased with my self control at the grocery store lately. The rest (vast majority of me right now) is quite upset that there’s no chocolate or anything sweet around.

unpopular opinion- I love burpees.

I haaaaaate mountain climbers.

Who hates burpees?

YOU DO!

My calluses are starting to reappear :) non scale victory?

Just finished crush day 2! I was super excited when I jumped up and the first two pull ups were like bam! And then ...all downhill. Damn. But some is better than none?

did you do the nutrition program as well? or separate nutrition?

I have the page open. I’m staring at it. I can’t decide if I take the plunge or not- #CRUSH60 yes or no and why?

anybody who’s done it/started it offer some feedback?

Figured since I did thefitally‘s workout yesterday I should try bbbenwilliamson‘s yolodelts today! So many side raises. I felt silly because I couldn't do very much weight because there were just sooo many of them but I finished it off with something I used to do with my gymnasts- basically hold your arms out to the side and circle/flap/twist them in small motions until your arms fall off. The end!

running = absolute worst. no bueno.

why do u hate running? it's the most effective form of exercise out there.

we can agree to disagree

hit the gym hard today..thinking I’m going to aim for 4-5 days/week. my arms were shaking between sets today.

I forever struggle with the line between, “I would really really like to see defined abs (just because)” and “I know you don’t have to see abs outlined to be healthy/ ‘in shape’.”

sigh.
