Find Your Center

"When you have a disease, do not try to cure it.  Find your center and you will be healed.

Great program to follow along with! Love Your Body Challenge Day 1 So many of us women continually feel that we are not enough, do not do enough and need to take the time to appreciate and love ourselves. I find that it is easy to forget to take care of myself and get wrapped up in the routine of it all. Do one really nice thing to take care of yourself today!  Gave myself time today to sit and read for pleasure :). Browsing a book on the works of Michelangelo. Inspiring! Mantra Day 1  ”My body is my home. It’s the ONLY place I have to live.  I will treat it with the care and respect it deserves.”

The Road of Discipline

"Let us guide our students over the road of discipline from materials, 

through function, to creative work. 

Let us lead them into the healthy world of primitive building methods, 

where there was meaning in every stroke of an axe, 

expression in every bite of chisel." 

~ Ludwig Mies 

Good to be home. Anxious to get some sweat rolling :) and a little bit of focus. Eating schedule off, sleeping schedule off, emotions running high, too much driving ... all worth it!

A little behind from the week, but fits well into the weekend.

Palms forward hold :10, :09, :08, :07, :06 - with the bfly pull ups this feels right over dead hang right now.

Welcome Sweet Baby!

My beautiful niece has now become a mother ;) and I am a Great Auntie!

The news of labor and delivery was so exciting and a little early, but there was nothing going to keep me from trekking down and welcoming a new generation into our family. Thankfully the drive isn't too long.

But first! I knew I had to get the work in because the next few days would be exciting, emotional and likely no schedule.

Warm up

Row 1k

Didn't find that I had much patience for this distance today.

5 RNDs

5, Bfly pull up, 10 Push up, 15 Reverse sit up on bench, 20 Squats 

TSC Wk2, D3

Strict pull ups 3, 2, 2, 1 - these need to get easier :)

KB Snatch R/L @16kg, EMOTM 7 - 8 minutes

KB Dbl Front Squat - 12kg (I need to step this up next week, these were a bit easy) 5x5

WOD (CFA/L2)

All w/45# bar, for time, but I forgot to check the time! 

• 100M Front racked lunges 
• 100M Overhead carry
• 100M Front racked carry
• 100M Back racked carry

I was so pleased that I did not put the bar down. I did have to take pause though ... Did the lunges 20M then pause, Overhead was 1/2 & 1/2, Front racked carry was the hardest, back to 20M before pause and Back rack was a straight through finisher.

Now, off to see Baby D!
