From Russia with Love

I'm pretty sure Russia doesn't love us! Last nights workout was less of a struggle then I thought it was going to be when I saw that board, after the Pile On I suppose anything else would have been relief!

We did Kettlebell Swings, Overhead Press, Goblet Squats, High Pull and Squat Press. 1 minute at each station without rest. After a full round we rested for 1 minute (seemed like 10 seconds). We did 5 rounds! Arms were getting tired, but no quitting, kept going.





We didn't count reps, but I know mine numbers were low, but I've been trying to work on breathing properly. I notice that when I don't breath right my body isn't positioned the way it should be for certain exercises and my back really starts to hurt. That's what happened during Pile On, but Ben showed me. So, last night I really concentrated on breathing and was able to go much lower with squats without that pain! Now I just have to learn to do it without thinking.

I was a little proud of myself though - I started off by grabbing 15 pound weight, but switched for 20 pounds and stayed with the 20 through all rounds, even when my mind was telling me toward the last couple rounds "that 15 pound weight is right next to you."

Food numbers are getting better. I was only 4 calories below my number tonight. Carbs and protein were a little high and fat was low, but will continue working on that.

Loving the Prograde Lean. Tasty little chocolate treat after a good workout!!
