Weeeee're Baaaaack!

Well, it has been about 4 months since my last post and even then they were sporadic. I, for one, have been completely flaking when it comes to exercise and eating right. Work is my excuse, but the real reason is because it is easier to eat crap and not work out. You'd think if I "didn't have time to exercise" I would be more concerned about my diet. Oh no! I don't do many things half way, so it all went out the window.

I am going to make another effort at it. I really don't have a choice. My children are getting older and I want to, as well. I want to enjoy, care for and protect them. I can only do that so well when I am probably 50-60 pounds overweight and not doing anything about it.

A couple of changes . . . We are now meeting in my backyard, not at the carport. This changes the list of things available to us. Working with the barbells is going to be a bit tougher, so we will probably eliminate that for now. Working bodyweight, kettlebells, odd object and met-con will be the menu. This may change again if I am able to outfit the garage.

Payment . . . I really don't know what to do about this. I will talk with the attendees and see what we come up with.

Today's workout was simple. However, after the layoff, it was not easy for me to keep intensity.

3 rounds for time of:

35# KB Clean & Jerk (L & R) x 10
35# KB Snatch (L & R) x 10
35# KB Swing x 10
Farmers Walk the width of the yard and back with 70# DB in each hand

My time was 10:25 and Jeremy ended at 11:45.

I have or will invite all of the original players (Billy, Cody, Jacob, Reagan, Nathan, David and Jeremy). Weather permitting and God willing, I will be in my backyard every evening at 6:00 pm. I hope they can all make it.
