Workout Wednesday

Welcome to my first official work out Wednesday.

FIRST...meaning I'm still learning what to do besides run in a straight line.

This morning I cracked it out of bed at 6:15...even after TWO nights in a row of little sleep thanks to my sweet little 8 month old nugget cutting his 2nd tooth.

I went to they gym and did a decent workout with both upper and lower body.  My new BFF is called the TRX...

Doesn't my hair look good in these pictures? And I don't usually wear blue spandex but I was feeling daring today. 

I didn't want to take pictures of my awesomeness at the gym this morning...I don't want to scare the old people any more than I already have with my singing BABY YOU A SONG YOU MAKE ME WANT TO ROLL MY WINDOWS DOWN AND CRUUUUUUUUUUUIIISE...out loud while running...But I will eventually I promise.  I just have to recruit a photographer

If you google TRX there's a BILLION MA ZILLION different workouts.  And it's safe...meaning I don't have to wander around aimlessly trying to figure out what to do next... 

Then I went for a 3 mile run with my sweet little babes.  It was a HARD run. I was breathless before the first block, my legs were tired from the mornings workout but not to a point where I should be able to run, It was just no good. I couldn't figure out why...it was the same route we usually take...So I struggled through the run...But I was KEEPING UP with the skinny hooker that I was running with (who may or may not be injured so isn't running at her usual gazelle pace.......................) We got back to the corner where we would usually turn to finish and we were only at 2.5 miles so I chose to keep going to finish 3 miles even though it was a CRAP run.  For some reason pushing the two kids seemed like I was pushing two sumo wrestlers instead of an 8 month old and a 2 year old....But  I still finished my 3 miles.  When we got back to my car and I was taking the stroller apart to put away and realized...................................I had a flat tire. AWESOME. That's why it was so hard. Makes perfect sense now. 

I went home and for some reason was drawn to my scale like a magnet.  REMINDER: This number no longer makes or breaks my day....defines how much work I've done...makes me stop eating for hours on end....makes me drink 3 gallons of water before noon because it's all water weight FOR SURE and I can just pee it out.........................................

So I stepped on the scale and BAM..........I OFFICIALLY weight less than I did before getting pregnant with baby number 1 four and half years ago. WOOOOP WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!

So I had to take some pictures of course....Oh did I mention these jeans I wore when I was teaching...before having kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
