Today's Training and The Peeper
So, I am gearing up for my workout and notice a strange guy sitting in a van out in front of my studio. He is one of the workers from upstairs and has smoked at least three cigs in the last 15 minutes. I also …

Monday
I went to a bodyweight exercise workshop on Saturday in Sioux Falls, hosted by Results Personal Training and presented by Aleks Salkin. I wanted to do this in order to help me prepare for PCC in May, about 4 weeks out. I left my house about 6 a.m. and spent six hours, crawling, doing push ups, chin ups, handstands, pistols, etc. All bodyweight exercises and the progressions of each one. Progressions are the most important thing to learn, in my opinion. The day was great and I learned a lot. Took the day off from training today, as my body is tired. I just want to sleep. Anyway… here are a few pics from the day.
My bridge felt great!!
Sooooo Happy To See You Friday

Happy Tax Day and Day 3 of Buckling Down
Today is a rest day for me. Will feel good. My arms are fatigued from yesterday’s workout.
Hope you all got your taxes done!
Today is day 3 of the buckling down with the eating. So far, so good. I always feel so much better when I clean it up. I do hate the term “clean eating” though. It drives me right up a wall. I don’t know why, it just does. Why does eating have to be described. Hard not to. We do it all the time. Crap eating, healthy eating, Whole30 eating, paleo eating. I don’t know…sometimes it just all irritates me. I just want to eat to support my activity level and make sure I eat nutritious meals. I try to eat whole foods, non-processed foods and food I know will fuel my body. So there you have it. My take on food.
yesterday’s dinner mmmmmmm

Seeing Where I'm At and Time to Buckle Down
Today I am testing out the Century Test I have to do for the PCC next month. 40 squats 30 pushups 20 hanging knee raises 10 pull ups I have been psyching myself out and have been a little afraid of the test and finally decided to just shut up and quit worrying about it and try it. Less than five minutes. Very good. Very much within passing standards. Although it will be much different at the cert. We will have been working on stuff all day and then the test will be after a full day of bodyweight work. The body and brain will be fried. I feel way more confident now though and know I can do it. 
TIME TO BUCKLE DOWN Time to get serious about my eating. No crap until after PCC. I am going to be very cognizant of what I am eating. I am eliminating any snacking and make sure my meals are very satisfying and nutritious. I might keep track of calories although I hate doing that, but I want to lose some body fat and some lbs. Plan on cranking up the kettlebell swings and jump rope at the end of my workouts. Obviously things will be much easier the less I weigh. Time to kick it in the ass! Excited!!
