live your life with purpose
Today is a planned rest day, as I will be spending six hours tomorrow rolling, rocking, hand standing, push upping, crawling and squatting. So looking forward to this second annual bodyweight workshop with the incomparable, witty, full of golden nuggets of information, Aleks Salkin–The Hebrew …
Today’s Training – I am writing what my plan is for today’s training. Usually I write it as I am working out, but today I won’t be working out until later. So this is what I have planned: Five Rounds KB Deadlifts – double bells …
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

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!!
This morning the bootcampers did awesome for the Suck It Up Saturday Session. They hung in there and kicked it’s ass. Lots of red faces at the end. Fine tuning those swings. Nice Job Robin, Heather, Alisia, Rebecca, Amanda, Heather and Larissa. Next came Swings …
Today wasn’t going to be a rest day, but it ended up being that way and I’m fine with that. I went to Rapid for a skin check appointment and got back a little while ago, so am just going to relax and catch up …

As I sit here writing this I can feel my stomach growling. I am so hungry. I love food. I especially love food that I know is good for me, such as my breakfast this morning. A big fat egg muffin filled with spinach and peppers and a piece of sausage. Delicious!! I admit it…I really do love food. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
I was listening to a podcast the other night. The guest was Will Chung. He and the host were talking about movement, working out, correctional exercises, everything along those lines and how to apply those things to bodybuilding (which was what that hat specific podcast was …
