Monday's WOD and a Confession

Hello, Monday. Can you believe it's almost April? Where did March go? I'm ready for the warmer weather and brighter mornings that the coming months have in store. Although, I do appreciate the dark mornings because it means we don't have to even brush our hair since we can't see each other. I guess I can sacrifice waking up 30 seconds earlier to run a brush through my hair in return for warmer mornings and possible sunlight.

I challenged everyone to some sprints this morning and it turns out we have some track stars. Okay, anyone willing to run as fast as they can multiple times before 6 a.m. is a star in my book. Here's what they all accomplished before most of us even hit the snooze button for the first time.

6 Minutes:
-Sprint for 10 seconds at the top of every 30 seconds. 20 second rest between sprints.
*Total of 12, 50-75 meter sprints.
Rest 1 minute.

Max Reps for 1 Minute of Each:
-Push-Ups
-Air Squats
-Sit-Ups
Rest 1 minute.

4 Minutes of the same sprint pattern.
*Total of 8 sprints. Goal is to go the same distance each time.
Rest 1 minute.

-Repeat push-up, air squats and sit-ups.
Rest 1 minute.

2 Minutes of the same sprint pattern
-Total of 4 sprints.
Rest 1 minute.

-Repeat push-ups, air squats and sit-ups.

DONE!

Wow, what a great workout! Great job to everyone that showed up this morning. Also, thank you to everyone for bringing your food journals. I have reviewed some of them and I like some of the adjustments you guys have made. Just remember, any small changes can make a difference.

Such a great piece of advice. Water, water, water!!

And now...for the confession. Since you all have been airing out your dirty (food) laundry to me, I think it's only fair if I'm honest with you as well. I'm only human and definitely make some poor food decisions at times. This weekend was one of those times. I spent a great night with some of my favorite ladies celebrating the lovely Shannon Tate's big 4-0. We kept it classy with a limo, cute dresses, great cocktails and a fabulous dinner in Modesto. What I'm about to say is no secret, but it's a great reminder. NO GOOD DECISIONS ARE EVER MADE AFTER 12 A.M. With clouded judgment, we took our limo, cute dresses and cocktail filled-selves through the Carl's Jr. drive through. Not a proud moment. While some of the girls held strong and did not order anything, I did not. I devoured an order of criss-cut fries and chicken tenders like it was filet mignon from Ruth's Chris. I'm not going to lie, I don't regret the criss-cuts one bit. However, my stomach had a different opinion the next day.

A slightly blurry picture, pre-bad food decision.

Whew! I feel much better now. Back on track!
