We made it ya'll -- it's THURSDAY! Woot Woot! For some reason (I think because I'm getting use to being going all the time on my crutches vs spring break where I didn't really do anything) this week has seemed to go one FOREVER!! Tuesday was the hardest day. It was MISERABLY hot and my classroom's ac is broke so...yea, my booth was extremely sweaty. It was hot yesterday too, but at least I know my mini-me aka Princess got to go outside and enjoy it! SIL posted this pic. I just love that little girl SO much! Her and my Tank! They are keys to my heart!
I did go and get my WOD on yesterday. Jamie picked me up after I got home from school - she was actually there when I got there. Have I told you before how much I love the folks from my box? 
They are just fabulous and so supportive right now! Anyways, the workout to the right is what I did yesterday. I go my first band assisted strict pull-up!! I was SUPER pumped about that! I got 3 of them for each of the first three sets. I tried to do them on the fourth, but couldn't. When I was done with the rest, I got 2 more to show the crew I could do them!! It's kind of fun right now - writing my own workouts, with DA's help of course. I mean he knows more about training and how to pair things better then anyone I know. I say I'm going to do x, y,z and he says ok or no do this instead of x. It definitely helps! Love that man :) Fun doing stuff like this too -- change of pace from CF so at least I'm not bored :)

Know what else rocks? That everyone at the gym is ok with helping me out, going to get my DBs or setting up my pull-up box or getting me weights or spotting me...I think you get it. They all are totally on board with helping me get what I need to done! I love that! Do you also see me new sweet #SweatPink tank? I LOVE it! It is SO comfy and I LOVE that I get to ROCK my #SweatPink crew!
If you read my post yesterday, you saw that my ankle was SUPER swollen. Guess what? Same deal yesterday. To the point I can't move my toes because they are so swollen. 
So yesterday - after my pull-ups, I laid on the ground with my foot on the bench. Then Allie drove me home - she stayed and helped me ice! 
Nick came over too! We watched the Phillies game and then Duck Dynasty - I love that show! This is how I laid - and watched T.V. upside down haha!

How was your Hump Day?

PS Whole30 Day 3 is in the books -- I sucked at pictures yesterday but still the same mix of stuff from Day 1 & Day 2 -- Breakfast - 1 hard boiled egg, 2 chicken fingers and a banana. Lunch - meatballs and Creamy Kale. Snack - hard boiled egg and apple. Dinner - chicken fingers and cream spaghetti squash.!
I love the support that people are showing you while you are injured. It's so nice to see. We have such a great group of people at the gym now!!!! Congrats on the strict pull ups. And that last pic....now THAT'S how you elevate your foot!! haha.
ReplyDeleteI agree -- our group is FABULOUS! I would be so lost without y'all! haha Allie was calling me a pink taco haha :)
DeleteYour "BOX", haha I'm catching on....anyway, your box crew is the business. It's so good they are helpful and patient with your injury. The tank is fabulous. I love new workout clothes! My hump day of my 7 day stretch is actually tonight when I wake up for work but so far so good!
ReplyDeletehaha you're learning the lingo! I love new gear too!! Especially tanks that fit me and I'm comfortable in. Still getting use to being a little bit smaller so when things huge me it's weird. haha! Glad you made it past your hump day lady :)
DeleteWowiw wow! I know from personal experience that ankle injuries are NO joke! Glad you had lots of support with your injury :) i LOVE new workout clothes, I think I would live in them in I could, I even have a pinterest board dedicated to it :)
