rieshy Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Sunday- total rest day. Monday- tonight I have 5+ hours at MMA. Hopefully 30 minutes of lifting with kettle bells.- if I have the energy. I didn't get good sleep this weekend. Hope everyone has a great Monday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm pregnant and feeling wretched so workouts have been hit and miss. Tai Chi today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyofsixreboot Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Slacge-congrats! Sorry you're feeling sick. DH and kids took fall break last week so yoga and walks were it. Yesterday was lots of walking, biking and general activeness. I ran the cross country course a couple times this morning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Congrats Slache! Managed to squeeze in a 3.3 mile run on the trail with dh and the kids between dh getting home from work and ds' soccer practice. I was tempted to take the week off, but I'm running a 5mile Turkey Trot in two or three weeks so onward I go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 So today at the gym I asked my trainer how long he thought it would be until I could deadlift the heaviest fixed-weight bar (110 lb----I can do 70 without thinking now). He looked at it, looked at me, told me to out my gloves on, and handed the bar to me. I held it, did one rep without a problem, and did a second one without a problem. He freaked out, and I got high fives from everyone in the gym :D I think I'll be able to up my weight training to four days a week now. My shoulder is back! :party: And he said bar squats will be soon... I swear, I'm going to have him takemy picture that day! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Congratulations Slache! Today just swings and abs and then 2 MMA classes tonight. Luckymama- that's great! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Slache, I'm so happy for you! Sorry you're sick. Hopefully, the morning sickness doesn't last too long. Luckymama, glad you're shoulder is better. Rieshy, thanks. I haven't been able to get up with the blog. I should. I need to write stuff out, but I've been so busy, and I just don't seem to get to the computer like I used to. Last night's yoga was great, though his music selection was very odd. It was a weird mix of funny/creepy halloween, ballads about the full moon, and so odd country songs. Very strange. Today I did a 90 minute slow flow class. Felt great. It's been a rough week, and I'm going to vent here. Last Tuesday I found out that my son's piano teacher is moving at the end of December. There may be another teacher in the area. She's going to try and help us find someone. We are rural, and for everything else we drive an hour. This was the one thing that was only 20 minutes away. Plus my son hates change and may want to give up piano when he finds out. My dd17 has been extra moody and it's driving me nuts, my ds16 wants to work at McD's but now I'm worried about the drug activity (which is so bad here). And yesterday I found out I didn't get the job I applied for. The job was a huge long shot, but getting it would have somehow redeemed the fact that we live and stayed in this h*ll hole. Sorry. I'm really feeling it today. I'm tired and feel defeated. I've been crying at the end of each yoga session. And the week ends with my oldest dd senior piano recital (college), which should be a happy affair. But the incoming family is unhappy that we don't have tons of time for them or that they can't all stay here. Blah. I'm off to piano. We haven't told our son about the teacher yet. Told her that I wanted to wait till we had someone lined up. Sorry to vent, I just needed to. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Sorry Kim :grouphug: When it rains, it pours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Today I squeezed in 45 min on the bike and 75% of my core routine while dd was at class :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 5 miles on the treadmill this morning. The wind combined with rain was too much so I stayed inside. I have a busy day ahead, but I would love to get in 30 minutes of yoga later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 No walking this week so far:( Though the sleeping in has been nice since it's been a gentle rain each morning with open windows. Covered Brazil's history in my class at our home school tutorial yesterday- I was shocked that of 17 students none of the 8th graders (besides my son) knew what Capoiera was- and most didn't know about Brazilian Jujitsu- it reminded me of the different "flavor" bubbles we all live in. Work and play tonight at MMA. 5+hours. kettle bell swings, kicks and core. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Training session today :D I did real, honest to gosh bench presses and deadlifts with the big bar. I had been using short, fixed-weight bars and dumbbells up to this point. Trainer said I will feel those 3-5 rep sets more than anything else I've done yet. I believe him! And all the trainers voted me as Member of the Month! I'll be in the newsletter and on facebook with a lovely post-workout picture :lol: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Kim- so sorry it's been so stinky. I get the rural, everything is so far, why is our only growth industry drugs stuff. Yesterday was yoga. Rain and cold today so opted for elliptical. I've had a headache for a week. I'm so darn tired of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjffkj Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I've been sick the last few days so no working out for me until today. Got my one hour kickboxing workout in tonight. I'm hoping to go at 6 am tomorrow and do that class because I don't enjoy doing the night ones since the kids get too bed an hour later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjffkj Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Well I got up for the 6am class. It felt great but now at 8 I'm dead tired! A nap will be needed while the baby sleeps this afternoon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Some light cardio and probably Tai Chi later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Thursday is usually my complete rest day. However, I might go for a walk if the rain ever stops, and I will definitely do all my stretching. I'm not nearly as stiff/sore as I thought I would be after yesterday :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Nice 2 mile walk this a.m. Two MMA classes tonight. I tweaked my shoulder doing a judo throw incorrectly (grr) and am trying to baby it a little so no kettle bell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Frosty, wet, windy run. I had to dig up gloves and ear band. Brrr. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Lisa, you're brave. I can't stand the wind, and when it's combined with rain, I give up. yesterday was my hot yoga class and today I ran 4 miles, then came home and did 3 rounds of push-ups, pull-ups and planks. Tonight is my dd21's senior piano recital. I'm nervous for her! I think I will be unable to breathe for 30 minutes (that's how long she plays for. It will be a packed out house, too) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my youngest two are doing piano so it's starting all over again.... I thought I was going to have a nice 5 mile run today. Life has not worked that way so besides yard work and house work today is a rest day- blech! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Taught yoga twice. That left no time to run :(. Kim- not brave, I just really needed it. Festival tonight and Halloween tomorrow. I'm going to try avoid the bachanal of too much everything. I'm not sure how successful I will be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Ran 6.2 miles on the trail with the kids. Finally found the pace where it feels like I could keep running forever. I've always felt like it was such a struggle the whole time, but not today! It was a great feeling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Boring compared to you guys----45 min elliptical, double my usual core routine, lat pulldowns to help my shoulder (up to 27.5 lb, yay me lol) and squats. For the first time ever I was the most-fit person working out :D Tomorrow I have an early meeting an hour away. I will come home to friends here homebrewing with dh. Not sure what/if I'll get to for exercise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The recital went well! My dd is relieved that it's done. She's going to relax today and go to Dollywood tomorrow. Reishy, I agree, I was thinking I should have had a large glass of wine before it started. Performance and German! Did your dd go to grad school? My second dd wants to minor in violin, so not as intense. My next two will probably not have music in their future, but my youngest is a music/artist type. He loves to compose. He's 11 years behind his oldest sister, so I will be even older next time I go through this. :D Today I ran 6 miles. It was a rough run. I didn't sleep well and my body felt as if it didn't know how to run for the first couple of miles. Now I feel tired. I need to get a few things done in the house and then my youngest wants to go trick or treating up in the next town, so we need to get him there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations:) Dd is a just a junior in college this year and hasn't made up her mind on what she'll do next. She adores her studies and has been teaching private lessons for 5 years- and adores that as well. She double majored in German because she's fluent and I thought it would give her more possibilities- not to mention it's easy for her and since it's also a liberal arts degree the required gen. ed. classes between each major lined up nicely. Dh and I walked 7 miles today. I also ate lots and lots of candy.... I found some Chaco hiking shoes on sale for $49 today. I may never take them off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
