Starting again Fresh

Date: 1/23/2012

Workout: 6am Kickboxing Fitness Cardio/TRX Combo, teaching a 50 minute Spin class at Rush at 5:30pm

This morning’s workout was another great one. We started out at “stations” where we did exercises with the TRX bands, bar with different weights based on your strength, and kettlebells. We did exercises for a minute at each station and then repeated. Then we went to the bags and did different combinations for 1 minute intervals for a total of 6 minutes. Then we did ab exercises either on the floor or with the TRX bands. We repeated “stations”, bags, and abs for the duration of the workout.

Review of the weekend

I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend with my family. My sister is leaving in a couple weeks for Afghanistan and it’s sad to think she will not be back in our country for another year. We all had a great time together playing games and watching movies and relaxing. We will miss her very much.

I did give into some eating and drinking this weekend but nothing that I’m going to be too hard on myself. The bottom line this weekend for me was that I enjoy my time with my family and sister and that’s what I did.

The start of the week has been good so far with a great workout. I hope to continue good workouts and healthy eating this week before going to California for work on Friday.
