There was no gym this morning. I have two excuses:
1. I was s.o.r.e. from the workout yesterday (maybe more from two days before)
2. I woke up at 5am to my alarm with a big kitty spooning me with a paw holding my hand purring, and behind me my beautiful beau looking all cute and snuggly. If there is ever a reason to stay in bed? It is that. I felt so grateful, so loved, and delighted to shut that alarm right off to just enjoy the happy morning loving.
However, the meant that we had to go after work. I tried to get out of it. I came up with excuses. Yet, I had packed my gym back this morning and Matt helpfully volunteered to meet me with it at the gym. Argh. Foiled. It was fantastic!
We started off with 15 minutes of elliptical - I think it's time to admit that I enjoy the guilty pleasure of 15-20 minutes of television: news, E!, TLC, ESPN, etc. I almost never watch TV so I flip through faster than a kid with ADHD getting a sweat on and warming up. If that's how I get my TV in - I'll take it.
It was his turn to come up with the WOD for us so he challenged us to a little set in any order:
150 jumping jacks
100 push-ups
50 pull-ups
Ha!
I broke the first two into sets and (nearly died but finished) then used the giant rubberband for pull-ups mixed in. Definitely feeling stronger at the three week mark. But making it about 5 at a time with the assisted pull-ups so there were lots of sets of those. Made it to 40 before my arms quit. Feeling pretty great! Today was #alittlebitbetter
