Back Home Again in Indiana

This was my first full week in my new office. Which is sweltering. Which also has a refrigerator available to put my fresh foods in. But it also makes it difficult to get into a rythm living in a different hotel room every couple of days. Regardless, I've been doing my best.

Monday morning I got up and lifted back and biceps. I was still at home and wanted to make the best use of the gym. Great pump and it felt good to lift heavy again.

Wednesday night I got the opportunity to try Cross Fit. I had purchased a Cross fit membership for DH for his birthday last year and finally felt confident in my body to try it myself. We did the following baseline assessment:
500 m row
40 squats
30 sit ups
20 push ups
10 pull ups

I completed this in 6:55 using the black band for assisted pull ups. Next time, I'll shoot for push ups on my toes and the green band for pull ups. And a shorter time.

This evening I'm planning on lifting legs and doing a treadmill 4 miles. The Glass City Half Marathon is only 2 months away and I have 5.1 miles to run. Better get started!

Insanity 30 day Challenge

I am a Beach Body coach. In order to be a better coach, I feel it necessary to actually do one of the programs so I can legitimely and appropriately have an opinion.

So with this, I've decided to do Insanity. Its a program that allows me a quick high intensity interval training without a whole lot of necessary equipment. I'm on the road for the entire month of February, so this should work great.

I had every intention of working out when I got to the hotel last night, but I felt like I'd been hit by a bus. My lack of sleep is starting to catch up with me!

I took my measurements this morning and anticipate working out with the first DVD - Fit Test.

Weight:162
Shoulders: 42
Triceps: 12.75
Chest: 40
Ribs: 32.75
Waist: 32.5
Abs: 37.75
Hips: 41.5
Thight: 21
Calf: 13.5

My results for today's fit test:

I'm hoping to take some photos on Saturday when I get home from this business trip.
