Monday Workout Accountability?
It seems like there's a whole sleu of ladies who are having a hard time getting back into the swing of workouts post-wedding. I've been in a funk for the past couple of weeks (mainly since I hurt my tail bone), but was finally able to snap out of it and get a workout in this morning. I'm hoping I can keep it up every day this week. I'm voting we go back to posting our workouts and being accountable to each other. Who's in?
This morning I did:
Low-bar Back Squat, 3 sets of 3 at 135 lbs. Was hoping to go a lot heavier, but I didn't realize how much strength I've lost by not lifting.
Then:
As many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of the following: 30 situps, 20 squats, 10 pullups.
I completed 4 rounds + situps + squats, totallying 150 situps, 100 squats, 40 pullups. That's a lot of work in 12 minutes!
Anybody else want to help motivate the group?

Aww Mames, sorry you're feeling so rotten. Do you think you're coming down with something? Maybe crawl in bed with hubs and hope the funk wears off. I swear though, this post was not directed at you! I was reading through some of the posts on the "Good Morning Ladies" thread and realized that there are a ton of us who can't seem to get in a gym groove. Hopefully we can motivate each other.
Hope you feel better!
Awww, hi Chazzy!!! He's getting so big.
I went to an 8 am spin class this morning, and the exercise really wasn't the hard part for me. I'm more proud of the fact that I used the 3 and a half hours I have in the morning between waking up and going to work to do something productive. I usually just sit at the computer and waste space.
DH and I are going to BodyPump tonight. I went quite a bit before the wedding but have been slacking since. He's going for the first time to help motivate me.
Good for all of you!?
I haven't exercised in 2 weeks
One week on vac-ay and this past week sick as a dog. I miss it. I will totally jump on the wagon as soon as I can.?
i jogged almost 3 miles today... its been a while since i've gone running, and I am pretty happy that i was able to keep going for that long. But i need to start reintroducing strength training.
i've slacked so much since the wedding, i need to get rid of the extra 10 pounds...ugh. so i am definitely in!!?
