Thursday, October 30th

Today's workout was short, sweet, but definitely not easy.

Warm up: Z

10 min of swings w/ the 12kg Kettlebell. Didn't care what kind of swings, just wanted to swing. So I did a combo of 2hand, 1hand and transfers. I tried to put down the bell as little as possible. I got 500 swings total. Is that good? Don't know, I have never tried it before. We will see when I do it again in a couple of weeks.

Then I went for an interval run. I ran for 2 min at 60-70% effort then for 1 min I ran hard at 85-90% effort. I did this 5 times. Then I cooled off with a run/walk. It was so nice outside (70's) yesterday I couldn't not go outside!

I cam back and did some serious stretching. Feels good!

Monday, October 27th Workout

Today I wanted to do a swing workout that is one of my favorites. Here it is...

Warm up: OHSquats w/ PVC pipe, Dislocations w/ PVC pipe, Z

Swing workout:
All 2 hand swings

10 w/ 24kg
15 w/ 20kg
20 w/ 16kg
25 w/ 12kg

Did this 7 times for a total of 490 swings. Took me about 25 min. I rested around 30-45 sec in between each round.

I didn't have a plan on how long or how many rounds I was going to do due to the fact that I have not done this type of workout in a while. I am trying to shed some weight so back to the swings and conditioning workouts that have always gotten me there!

Well now it is time to go spend some money shopping with my mom!!

New Kids On The Block

Yes you read that right. Last night my sister-in-law and I went to the American Airlines Center in Dallas,TX to see NKOTB!!!!!

I am sure you are just laughing right now, but we had the BEST time!!!

It all started about 18 years ago when I was a young gal who fell in love with the boy-band. And in 1989 my mom took me to my very first concert...New Kids On The Block!

I have loved them ever since, even when they broke up for 15 years. I always new they would get back together some day!

So with the whole reminiscence of my first concert and then the concert being 2 days before my birthday...well I HAD TO GO!!!

No BJ did not go with me. But he did get Erika and I the BEST seats! We basically could reach out and touch them!!!

Anyways, I had to blog about it because we had the best time and I wouldn't have traded last night for the world!

It's Been Awhile...

So I have decided ONE more time that I will be working two blogs. One, Train Like A Girl will be strictly professional. Meaning I will be giving my professional opinions on books, nutrition, exercises, workouts, etc. And give you updates on how the Train Like A Girl women's only boot camp is going.

Then there will be this blog...my personal blog. It will go into my own workouts/training, nutrition and any guinea pig diets I try out. And really a place for me just to vent or tell my side of things.

Trying to fit all of that on one blog was getting to be a little crazy, so I will work with two.

I hope you enjoy both, and will comment on how I am doing!
