live your life with purpose
I went to the dentist last week to get a checkup and cleaning. I’ve been a slacker with my teeth and haven’t been there for a while, possibly years. Now I get to go every three months for cleanings for a while. Some bone loss. …
Whoever said “sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me” is full of crap. Seriously…Long story short, my brother and I are a year apart. When we were in junior high, I remember thinking he was so cool…the greatest thing …
Plan B
So…. my sister is flying in tomorrow from New Mexico. So…guess what? They canceled her flight from Denver to Pierre. Lovely… Our Plan B–I drive to Rapid and we stay at a hotel and then get our regularly scheduled tattoos Friday. Plan B is me driving to Rapid and us staying in Rapid Thursday night. I will have to take her back to Rapid on Tuesday for her flight out, but that’s okay. I am thankful we can have a Plan B. I am thankful I don’t have to drive any further.
Chicken in the Ditch
Usually on my way home I usually just zone out and wind down from the day. Today was a little different. I ran over a dead skunk’s tail and got to smell skunk for a few miles. Did you know that skunk kind of smells like some really strong fresh ground coffee beans. I know! So there was that and then as I got to the top of the dam and was passing the Oahu Chapel, something caught my eye at the turn off to the beach by the intakes. I thought it was one of those disgusting turkey vultures. As I got closer, I saw red on the head and then a beautiful kind of brown metallic color. A fricking chicken. What the hell? How weird is that? I looked all over for more, but it was just one. It reminded me of the commercial where the chicken travels all over and just sends selfies to the owners.
Yesterday’s Quickie Workout
I only had about 20 minutes before clients, so I set up three different bells and did 10 swings and 5 squats at each bell and then moved on to the next and finally the third. Set the timer for 15 minutes and rocked it out. Felt Good!
I was a lazy ass this weekend and ate pizza.. And I am perfectly fine with it. It was worth the gut ache. So yummy! Warm up –rocking, crawling, rolling Five rounds Deadlifts -5 Double press – 5 Finish Racked carries – 4 passes Body …
First things first…my kettlebell clients ROCK. My 6:30 a.m., group (Melissa, Sara and Larissa) killed it this morning. We tested 1RM presses. Amazing!!! Melissa – 30 pounds; Sara 16kg, which is 35 pounds and Larissa, 20kg, which is 44 pounds!!! So, so proud. So motivated …
I cannot believe it is July already. Where is the summer going?
I actually trained a few times that didn’t get documented. Been a little busy.
We had ninja turtle Annistyn’s birthday party on the 3rd. Her real birthday is the 9th. Anyway she loaded up on Ninja Turtle paraphernalia. I love that she is such a tom boy.
Also, yesterday Rory boy turned 8 months old. So adorable.
