Return to Strength Training + Weekly Workouts
Sorry for disappearing on you last week. My first week back to work was not nearly as awful as I pictured it to be. My classes are really good and I'll admit that it was nice to get out of the house and be on my own schedule for the most part. But, my heart broke leaving both of them every morning. I just missed them both so much! As much as my first week back to work was not terrible, it was definitely a mentally and emotionally exhausting week. Thus, my lack of posting. Thankfully, a relaxing weekend helped take the ease off such a tough week.The weather FINALLY warmed up enough to spend some time outside. Not only did we get some time playing with the neighbors outside and enjoying their fire pit, I got a chance to lace up my shoes and go for a run! And thankfully the temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s all week, so I'll get lots of outside runs in! I'm still looking for a good deal on a double jogging stroller (I'm realizing more and more that I'm going to need one with Matt's meet schedule), so if you see one (a B.O.B. or Baby Trends), send it my way!Monday: 2.5 mile treadmill run (8:10/mile)Pre-WOD: Hang Cleans 5x5, 55#5 rounds:Hang Cleans 7x, 55#Front Squats 5x, 55#Asst.

Obviously, that's not going to happen in a week, but I have to start somewhere. Let's just say those back squats at 95 pounds KILLED me for the rest of the weekend. I used to do 5x5 at 135 pounds, so that was definitely eye opening. I lost a lot of strength during my pregnancy and now is the time to get it back. I'm hoping to start sharing some of my HIIT and sports conditioning workouts here soon so stay tuned!Sorry this is so short and sweet - still adjusting to lack of sleep and catching up on my to-do lists. I'll be talking more about adjusting to being a working mom with 2 kids later this week. I just have to make it through this week and then it's Spring Break! Woohoo!
