Steady diet of Sandbag Getups

I am down below 235!

Last week, we had a workout of the day, and the exercise was laying down flat on your back, and getting up with an 80# sandbag on your shoulder and then doing ball slams with a 15# kickball.

the reps were 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. It was exhausting. My coach was heard saying, "you all are on a steady diet of sandbag getups!"

Today the workout was definitely in my wheelhouse. For the first time in a while I felt great WHILE working out. We did 400m run, then 500m row X 5 reps. My time was 23:36. I actually came in 3rd out of 6 people and 4th total for all the classes of the day so far.

Here is the ELK I shot, I know that Dad and Andy are the only ones who follow this blog, so here you go guys!

Welcome to the Suck!!

I walked into the gym today and on the whiteboard it said
"Todays Workout: The SUCK BUFFET"


It was just hard. We decided to call yesterdays workout "There is no escape" It is too complicated to explain in writing.

Today we did:
30-20-10 Box jumps and overhead weighted lunges
rest 2 min
5 rounds of dumbell thrusters x 10, and toe ups on the pullup bar
rest 2 min
20 renegade row (think pushup position on a dumbell, then rowing each arm)

It took me like 25 minutes to complete.

I feel great, I have not felt this great in years. I finish my whole30 today. I will celebrate with some milk tomorrow, and maybe some chocolate chip cookies!

It feels good to have gone 30 days without cheating. Now that I have changed my relationship with food, I can keep on the path of healthy eating.

Here is a picture of me that they posted on the gyms blog. I was doing lateral jumps over the barbell.
