GRIT cardio

I think I'm gonna vomit. No, for real. Haha. Why didn't Calli and I manage to do the 6am session? Because we are dumb? Yes.

I've come to the conclusion that I should only come in the morning! 

I'll be honest though...I was excited all day about GRIT...what's happening to me? Haha

 I'm getting stronger...but this never gets easier...you have to do more reps and the coaches are certainly not playing any games. They know what we're capable of and expect nothing less. 

Painful. But worth it.

Lost 3.5 inches on waist and 5 on hips.

Calli and I stayed for body pump...did the squat track with 30lbs on each side of the bar...couldn't get the bar up there...but wasn't that bad when it was on my shoulders...I can def handle it...

We will see what I think about it tomorrow...anyway...goodnight!

Saturday GRIT

Thank you, Jesus. Today's workout was Cardio. It's my favorite of the 3. I did a of the regular push-ups with a lot more ease than I ever have. That's a good accomplishment! Whoo! 

Why didn't I take before pictures? Ugh, oh well. My inner thighs are looking better than they have in YEARS. 

I'm signing up for the second session for sure. 

3 instructors means 3 x the yelling. Haha 3 x the encouragement? Haha...sure

I need to start going to every Saturday GRIT no matter what...to increase my results...need to work our even more really...but I'm tired...all of the time...I'm an old lady...haha

I hate the GRIT workouts while they're happening...but not after. Worth every penny and drop of sweat!

Knees

Ouch, they hurt. So bad. I guess I went too far with the craziness of Monday. Why did I do that to myself? Haha. 

During this morning's GRIT Plyo my knees hurt the whole time. 

That's all I could think about...but I didn't hate today as much I normally hate this class. Don't get me wrong, it's my least favorite of the 3...but it wasn't as terrible today.

Michele and Kaitlyn really pushed us today. It provably didn't help that there were only 3 of us in class today...so it was easier to torture us each individually...haha...I'm joking...sort of. Haha

They both really pushed me today...and basically "knee" push-ups and such were all banned. They're not a problem in "real life," but GRIT is so exhausting that it's a challenge sometimes...but I'm getting stronger every class. 

My ankle hurt today too...but I'm just sick of it hurting all of the time...I refuse to baby it and do less because of it. 

As I do more workouts, I will re-strengthen my ankle...especially classes like Piloxing...my ankle feels a lot stronger  and doesn't hurt nearly as often...so I better just start making more time for myself and working out. 

Anyway, I guess I'm gonna take a nap before work...  

I'm glad that I went this morning though because I almost convinced myself to not go. 


I worked for 10 hours today and didn't go to body combat...which makes me sad...but my left knee and ankle hurt like hell and it's not worth actually injuring myself...plus, there's plenty to do at work  right now! Haha

2.5 hr workout night

I was too lazy to get out of bed at 6am to go to my actual GRIT session so I went to the 615 pm session instead...well, that meant Piloxing at 515, GRIT at 615, and Body Pump at 715. Basically, I'm insane. 

I'm sore today and paying for my crazy workout night...but that's ok...that's what I'm paying for, right? Yup. It sure is. 

Work 11-7 today then I guess I'm doing nails and wedding stuff and makeup stuff tonight. You know, emergency business. Ha.

CX Worx

Well, that was painful. In a good way. It hurt.,.but it's funny because it's exactly what I asked for...a class to work on my core...here ya go! Painful.

The resistance bands are no joke...we used the 2nd level bands...perhaps that was a bad idea?
