Sunshine--glad you are feeling great and are able to lift again!

Sue + Sam--great attitudes and points. Really trying to get my mindset at that place as well.

Dnamouse--awesome job scoring that squat rack. Have fun with your little ones before they go to Grandma's house.

I almost wonder if I will do my other AMRAPS...maybe I will just try out phase 2 tomorrow, instead.

I leave on Thursday with my kids to go to my cousins wedding in Kansas. We will have 12 hour drive to get there, two days there, and another 12 hours to get home before Girl Scout camp starts. Going to be a crazy busy weekend. My kids are freaked out about tornados. It's not something that happens in Montana (very often). I decided not to freak them out more by not showing them my aunt's barn that got hit this weekend.

at some point this week I'll get back to the gym and restart Basic training 2. The three hour headache, most likely courtesy of this week's heat wave didn't help the cause. ouchie.

I took my son out for fro yo tonight to celebrate his receiving a math award. Yeah I teach literature, he is definitely his father's child lol.

Just dropping in to say hi all! So yesterday I decided I should see a doc about the shoulder, and today, no pain, no twitch no ache, nothing. Seriously?

I ate an apple today. In and of itself, not a bad snack but I looked at my protein for the day and realized a better choice would have been a protein shake or quest bar. That's the sort of thing I need to think about before I eat! But I had enough cals so I had 2 turkey burgers and that took care of the protein issue!

I lift tomorrow! Squats, and other stuff. And now I'm going to sleep.

As Beeps says - BOOM!

So, I am home. It has been an exhausting 2-3 days. Tomorrow I rest and back on the workout track Thursday. I figured 2 days in this week and 3 days next week. Summer is not a good time for me. We are always traveling. I 'll be gone again in 2 weeks for 11 days .

I haven't logged properly. I am sure my protein amounts were in the low 20-30s.

My workout is not going well :grumble:

Thanks Marie! Def feelin better, thank the lord.

Beeps - that. Is. Seriously. Cool. I'd have eaten chocolate, too, though.

Slammed stage 3A today and got the BWM. ladies that is a 90 minute workout ALL DAY.

Stuck to protein and cals today, too.

Beeps- I ve heard Hillary is awesome- I want to take my daughters to hear her.
Nice job sunshine and Sam .

I have only gone running twice and the total running time was less than 7 minutes and my left glute hurts. So I am probably stuck with swimming.

My youngest asked to do yoga- how can I say no? She is a pretzel.or maybe a rubber band. She can do a split and put her chest on the floor.

I was off from work and spent most of the day oven shopping. Not my favorite thing- it seems like they should be a little less expensive!!!

I had such a hard time focusing on my workout earlier today. I gave myself permission to do only two sets instead of three and didn't bother with the planks at all. Around 11 pm, I got a wild hair and did the third set. Still didn't bother with the planks.

I have decided that planks can bite me.
I think my body can do them but my brain is bored for anything longer than 90 seconds. Sooooooo boooorrred.

Attempted upping the weights today on the Stage 4 front squat/push press... yeah... got 7 reps done and half the 8th press lol So I deloaded for the next two sets That was HARD. Shall keep pushing little by little I seriously LOVE having a real squat rack.

We're not going to footy training tonight. I made an executive decision after I got soaked in a downpour at school pick up. I'm not going out in rotten weather. Of course, it's not raining now :grumble: Meh. Early dinner and bed again I think - I'm getting old rofl :laugh:

Marieann, wow thats a long drive! I hope you have a great weekend and don't get hit by a tornado!

I hated the AMRAPs too. For the next time they come up I might try using the timer but if I still hate them then I am going to skip the rest of them.

Congrats on getting through the BMW Sunshine! I did it yesterday too. managed to take about 45 seconds off my time but I am still exceptionally slow.

Pmagnafit, I hope your glute is ok!! I hate getting injured! (although mid BMW yesterday I was kinda hoping for an injury so I could stop!)

I changed my diary settings the other day since I haven't lost any weight since November. I decided to go with TDEE/IIFYM and now have a goal of 1750 calories everyday regardless of whether or not I exercise. Seems like it should be plenty of food but yesterday evening I had to keep drinking cups of tea to fight off the hunger and today I just had a big breakfast and I still feel starving!! Maybe I have been eating tons of food lately and thats why I wasn't losing! I also think its a psychological thing because I know I can't eat with abandon so it feels like I won't get any food for ages!! Ugh, this better be worth it!
