Keens. Very stylish and they NEVER DIE.
My kids have killed Keens, but....that said, Keens have outlasted every other..

Active recovery week is almost over. I need to enjoy these last couple of days before I'm *on* again.
I think I may have pulled a hammie at MA this week, but right now I'm sitting in denial. More stretching, rolling and soaking.

Ice cream. I would love to eat ice cream. OH! An ice cream sandwhich...ugh!
Cheese. Melted cheese....on a quesadilla ....or pizza...
Dairy and I don't mix. But I dream. Oh man, I dream....

We got one at http://cartwheelfactory.com/
We got a 4x8 foot 2inch thick mat and have been using it nearly everyday to practice on.

I'm not a health professional nor do I play one on tv.
I will say though that your overall health and fitness is one where you'll be playing the long game. Two weeks is hardly enough to measure progress and frankly you are setting yourself up for failure to think in such short terms. There are many more factors than diet and exercise that will impact your overall health and fitness, for example stress, hormones, sleep, and food quality.
Take it easy on yourself. Play the long game. Take a look at your sleep and overall stress levels. Choose foods with more nutrient density and a higher quality (less processed). Choose activities that you enjoy and that you can do long term.

So who here will admit to obsessing over new workout shoes?
:blushing:
So, I am a bit broken. Pulled my hamstrings somehow..
Take care of you!!! Gosh, ugh! I have a long story I could tell about my hamstring. I wish this on no one.

Well, I only did housework, errands and whatnot all weekend, and I still woke up stiff and sore. LOL. This is a lighter week for me thank goodness.
Soror, hope you get back to your normal self soon. <<hugs>>
-
I did a quick 8 minute kickboxing HIIT to alleviate frustration over my ds and lessons.
I hate to see you when you're really mad. :gnorsi:
I am done with the worst part for the day! Woot! I just have a little skill work and MA tonight, in other words, the fun stuff.
-
Mandy, sorry you're not feeling well. This is the hard thing about going out to a gym to workout. It sometimes is SO HARD just to get out the door. Maybe you can do the 5 min Butt Burn video Mom-Ninja posted as a kind of punishment for yourself. LOL
I was rationalizing all morning about all the reasons why I didn't want to workout today. After forcing myself to do it, I feel better. 2 more days of hell week and then active recovery !!!! (But who's counting?)

I love watching him because he's in his 70's but moves like an elegant 13 year old.
This is my motivation. There is an older gent in my MA world who is like this and it's amazing to watch.
-
Rolling the traps worked. I am ready for tomorrow.
-
Swellmommy, community is very important. We all keep each other motivated, so keep posting. Sometimes you just need someone to acknowledge your efforts. I know I do.
My WO is now done for the day. I will roll the hammies and traps later tonight.
-
Are you doing 100 KB swings all in one go? :eek: That sounds brutal.
-
Oh my goodness, my traps...I rolled with the lacrosse ball but I'm still very sore/stiff today. Luckily for me today is more of a lower body WO. I need motivation.
-
I don't know about you all, but I need to reschedule my schedule. Working out during the weekends doesn't workout very well. HAHAHA. No really. Waaaay too many errands and other things need doing and then I feel guilty for missing. :001_huh:
-
Done for the day. It was awful. This is my hell week and I am counting the days for my active recovery next week. LOL
Going to foam roll later as I really need it.
-
I found 5 dollars in the laundry. Does that count?
-
Skill work today then rest until Monday. Next week's schedule looks rough to put it mildly. I need to spend the weekend mentally preparing myself.
-
Push mowed. OMG. That's brutal for a large area. LOL Sounds like you need sheep.

By 12/13 a kid should know what his/her allergies are and I think it's reasonable for her to discuss this with her dad. If she is picky too, that's ok. At some point they need to take personal responsibility for their nutritive needs.
I always tell my son that it doesn't really serve him well to be picky while also having food allergies.
<hugs>
It is very hard.
-
I find the best practice in this regard is to not worry about what other people eat or feed their kids. I've also had to stay firm and polite that other people need not be concerned with the way we eat either. Some people take it so personal if you don't eat something but frankly it has nothing to do with them. It's just an unfortunate reality to live with food allergies or intolerances.
Food is right up there with religion and politics.
-
Soror, what does your badass workout say about rest days? Do you think that you should combine your badass WO and your kettlebell days and really truly take a rest on rest day?
I don't think we should be going 110% all the time and that rest and recovery is sorely underrated.
I'm just thinking out loud here. Some of you gals sound a lot like me where we are doing a lot and want to do more but could probably benefit from a little more rest and recovery.
-
Your son sounds like a real fart smeller.
-
then if all goes well I'll start the half marathon training which should finish up by my next belt testing.
Ah, I see you have Duracell bunny syndrome too....

You can try looking at youtube for egoscue exercises for the knee. I have the book and I'm not sure how I feel about the whole thing, but I did add some of the exercises in it to my daily stretch/limber routine. The static back exercise seems so ridiculous when you see what you are supposed to do but for some reason it really helps to set my hip.
Just throwing it out there...
