A quick update

Mondays and Tuesdays are by far my worse days. I have high school in the mornings and I get done around noon. Then I have class at night and it seems no matter how hard I try and plan I still end up with hours of work to do right before class. Ugh!!!!

So Saturday I got out the door for a nice walk. Sunday I got out the door for a nice walk. Yesterday morning I did 20 minutes on the elliptical before work and got a nice walk in before lunch. Yea!! That's all good. Then last night I started getting a little drip in the back of my throat. It's been really windy here for about a week and my sinuses have been bugging me so I didn't think too much of it. But I woke this morning with a stuffy nose and sore throat. Ugh!!!! I did not work out and I think I'm going to pick up a Neti pot on my way home. I just do not have the time or energy to be sick right now. I need to hold off till spring break.

I have a presentation due tonight which I have not started so I probably won't have time to do anything between high school and class tonight. I have to write the paper and make the presentation, but first I have to figure out what the heck I'm writing about.

I'm off to get ready for work. I figured this will be the quietest time I have all day so I thought I'd post.

I am walking on my treadmill at the moment. It is 5:30 a.m. and I really want to do another 5 minutes or so. I started my 2nd week of WW on Saturday and while I am not perfect, I am far better than I was without it. Yesterday when I came home from work I was not exhausted. I did get tired in the afternoon and I did have some coffee to drink, but I did not nap when I came home. Huge success. Also, I want to walk on my treadmill in the mornings. Yesterday I only had about 15 minutes, but I did it. Today I rushed to get everything done so I could jump on. It took a while, but I think I'm beginning to turn the corner on energy. Jeez I hope so. I probably shouldn't get too excited. I should see if it happens again today. The thing today is, I have no last period and we are having the honors assembly. I could leave at 12:35. I'm trying to decide if I want to or not. I could stay and sit through a boring assembly and then after school. Or I could leave early and come home and ge…

Seriously weak upper body

The muscles used in pull-ups:


The muscles used in push ups:


The muscles used in a kettlebell swing:


That is what I have, a seriously weak upper body. My legs are strong. I have thick, muscular thighs and my calves pop, but my upper body - bleh.... So that's what I'm really hoping to improve through crossfit. I want a toned, well defined upper body. I realize that it's going to take time, and I am getting there. I have muscles in my arms that I never had before. Awesome.

Last night's Crossfit workout:

800 m run40 pull-ups (I did jumping pull-ups and am getting quite good at them)80 push-ups (I used a low band that helped support my hips)120 kettlebell swings - with a 25# kettlebell800 m run There was a 30 minute time cap and I did it in 30:40 - not too shabby. As you can see we worked the same muscles over and over and over and over.....it was brutal. But that's what I need to work on so I'm really not complaining.  I am a little sore this morning though :)

Wish I knew what was wrong

My foot hurts. Specifically my left foot hurts on the inside of the heel, it's almost the Achilles tendon but not quite.
Right there where that black circle is. Now I know exactly what tendon it is. It is very painful. It only hurts when I do a certain workout - which I did last night. I haven't been doing that workout because it made my foot hurt. The pain went away and I thought I'd give it a try. Now this morning I'm in pain. I don't know what to do about this. Is it my shoes? The floor at the gym? Some biomechanical thing? I just don't know and it's really starting to annoy me. Maybe I should take something? Would hgh releasers work? I've heard they help a lot of ailments.... I just don't know what to do. The worse part is I can not run like this and the shoes don't seem to help much. Actually, I just had a thought as I was typing this... Maybe if I ran on soft surfaces like grass. I may give that a try. This morning is stre…
