Deadlift/ Wall Ball Ladder

Had to get a fast workout in today. Coached all morning, had a meeting and coached in the afternoon, so I only had 30 min to warm up, workout, and cool down. I picked something we did with the classes last week that fell on my rest day:

10-1 Ladder:
Body weight Deadlift (135, I chose my pre-baby weight)

High Wall Ball Shots (11ft, 14lb Ball)

My Time - 13:48

Range of motion is feeling weird for the deadlifts so I actually had to place the barbell on top of some plates to raise it up. My belly gets in the way completely! Wall ball shots were pretty good, got to the top of our 10ft target, so 11ft high  :)  They were supposed to be as high as you could get.

Food: Greek Yogurt w/ gluten free granola and banana slices for breakfast, Grilled Chicken wings and celery for lunch, Banana and Almond butter snack, and don't know what I'm doing for dinner yet!

10AM with hubs

Today I woke up early and headed to the gym with Danny to workout with the 10AM class. I like working out with the classes, it keeps me from moving EXTRA slow!  It was a good workout, Danny was trying to show me some low bar back squat stuff to do that might feel better on my loose hips, but it actually felt weird. It's really all about feeling it out. If you are used to strength training and you know your limits it's cool to just see what feels good and what doesn't without having to worry about getting hurt. Listen to your body! Anyway...

Weightlifting: Back Squat  5x3  (105lbs)

Metcon - 12 Min AMRAP:

Thruster Ladder  (25lb Dumbbells)  1, 2, 3, etc..

8 Burpees

24 Double Unders

*Thruster reps are the only thing that increases each round

Score: 5 complete rounds. This was fun but really gassed me! Those doubles....

Food: Almond berry cream smoothie for breakfast, Chicken Salad for lunch, Grassfed steak and spinach for dinner.

Hmm bad craving!

So after a long week and busy weekend, I am giving into a craving I've had all freaking week... for lasagna! I haven't had lasagna in I dunno how long. Here I am though, relaxing at home in the peace and quiet while Danny is recording with his band, watching Sex and the City and giving into my pregnancy craving.  haha!

I told you I would share when I cheated, so there it is... and I am STOKED for this cheesy meaty lasagna! (of course I am having it delivered)   :D

Prowler Push Ladder, KB Swing

Today I tested a workout I have programmed for one of my clients next week. It was pretty good and challenging. With the heat and heavy weight I found that the rest between rounds was much needed!!! The prowler is no joke once it gets heavy! Really good on my butt, quads and even calves because my steps are much smaller with the belly in the way.

My food has been pretty good, I'm definitely not doing Paleo/Primal right now cause I eat gluten free grains a lot in the morning. I always pair it with protein and fruit though so I stay balanced. I've also been doing a lot more grassfed butter, milk and cheeses. I feel good with it, no cramping or anything cause it's pasteurized an very low heat, keeping all the enzymes in there that help break it down. I might stick with this after the baby too...

Weightlifting: Back Squat 5x3  (105)

15 Min AMRAP Ladder:

Max Load Prowler Push

Cleans, Pull ups, Toes to Bar, Box Jump

Today was a good workout day. Pull ups are getting harder and harder when doing kipping now that I have an extra almost 30lbs on me... My core strength is just really weak. I think it's about time to stop kipping and move on to just doing strict pull ups with a band or ring pulls. waaah... I could only do 4 at a time and my abs are pretty sore from it, which I would hate to strain for no reason.  Oter than that, the toes to bar actually still felt fine, doing a few at a time. Box jumps on that low box feel the same as a 24" box haha! Amazing...

This one was FUN! I needed it... a lot of different movements and lots of cardio, which I normally suck at. The hardest part for me was the run, which is just kind of awkward and slow right now. Everything else felt great though, even my double unders were on point!

Saturday Yoga!

Went to Prenatal Yoga with both my moms and a friend for an early Mother's Day. It was fun, way less than what I am used to and way more cheesy! haha. There was dancing involved... that's all I'll say about that.

Overall it was fun though and a good stretch  :)

3 Rounds of Hell!

Did this WOD with my preggo partner in crime, Natalie. We had to scale a lot because of the movements that were originally programmed for the class, but it was still pretty damn tough.

Rowing JT

Holy upper body day!! I saw that someone in the gym had done JT today so I decided to do it too... Except I figured since I have to scale everything I would add a row at the beginning and end. I liked it, but lemme just say the scales felt just as tough as regular JT! Haha how things change...
