squat 405# ?!

Today I video taped my husband squatting 405 pounds for the first time. Talk about pretty amazing! He did 3 sets of 10, I was surprised he did more than one set! I did abs and an hour on the treadmill and tried to show him up on the squats and only did 25# lol  but whatever. Today when I sneeze it hurts lol but its a good hurt.

mondayyy - burpees

cross fit attempt 3:

7 minutes as many burpees as you can. I accomplished 87 the last couple were modified

If you dont know what burpees are Zuzanna shows them in the video above. She use to be a body rock host and i liked her a lot. Now they have a couple others that are good as well. They are fairly provacative which i dont mind but if you do, you probably wont like the site. They are good workouts you can do from home in a short amount of time but my problem is, i want them to do the whole workout with me instead of just show me a couple and then say "go do it" I want to follow along with them instead of having to watch pause workout repeat. I haven't been to the site in awhile though, maybe they have a few workouts that you can follow along to?

I dont know what to make for dinner tonight. I've been pushing off the fish we have in the freezer for a couple days now because honestly, seafood terrifies me. 9 times out of 10 i DO NOT like it. and i cant decide if its more of a texture or a flavor thing. I found I can handle crab, I can't even leave shrimp in my mouth long enough to taste it because of the texture. The looks of lobster weirds me out etc... i may just have to bite the bullet with this one tonight though, my options are slim.

Going to try to encourage myself to go for a run or something later today, it's much too nice out not to take advantage of it.

weigh-in

I am down FOUR pounds this week! :)

biggest changes:

I have worked out more and more regluarly. m-t-th-f-s and sometimes twice a day. wednesday and sunday are my off days, although i may do a quick workout tomorrow if i have time, just something little.

I have only had a grilled snack wrap from mcdonalds, otherwise NO fast food this week

I have stopped drinking so many of my calories. I cut out milk almost all together, which i know is good for you and has protein vitamins bla bla bla. but here's my thing. It's dairy and dairy has a lot of fat and calories AND causes acne/blemishes. So by cutting it out (I drank about 4 cups of milk a day (skim) plus i'm a sucker for ice cream which i have replaced with frozen fruit that i mash up into a sorbet)

next week i'm going to try to incorporate more protein shakes in. I only had one this week. And I want to make sure I burn at least 400 calories on work days and 100 calories on rest days ( so a walk with the dog or something )
