She's doing what???

Upper Left: After a sweaty hour of Krav Maga | Upper Right: After 25 minutes of Grappling

So you know I've been doing CrossKick for a while now. I started Krav Maga in January, but things beyond my control kept me from it (poison ivy, injury, lack of motivation). But I'm back...and then some.

I've been back at Krav for a few weeks now and last Tuesday my instructor coerced me to the mat for some grappling with him & my husband. I said yes before I realized what I was doing. LOL. I've now done it twice the past week, following an hour of sweaty Krav. It's a great calorie burner and a great way to feel sore in ways you never thought possible. 

So my husband talked with the owners and we are now officially on the "family plan." Meaning we all train now; CrossKick, Krav Maga, Advanced training (grappling/sparring), the kids karate classes and finally Baby Girl can do Black Belt Club. We pretty much live there 5 days a week, so you know, why not?

Here's how my week breaks down:

Sunday

> Cardio

> Weight Lifting

Monday

> CrossKick

Tuesday

> Weight Lifting

> Krav Maga

> Advance Training (Grappling or Sparring)

Wednesday

> CrossKick

Thursday

> Weight Lifting

> Krav Maga

> Advance Training (Grappling or Sparring)

Friday

> Active Rest Day

Saturday

> CrossKick

> Krav Maga

And this isn't all...throw in the kids karate classes, twice per week,  baby girls dance classes, and school drop off & pick ups and yes, I have a rather full schedule. But I love every moment of it.

Sunday was the Mother's Day 5k. Baby girl and I ran the race, her in the jogger obviously.

Pre-race, a whopping 44* out there.

Not too shabby

Me with a couple of my "Lean Ladies"

And yes, I always run with my sunglasses on. Having blue eyes definitely has it's drawbacks and I cannot handle much sun.... just need to remember to remove them for photos next time. :P

Just a Reminder

Push it till you puke

I finally feel like I'm accomplishing something. Today I finally pushed my body to the limits that I started dry heaving during my leg routine!!!! This.is.awesome. However, not so sure about the impending soreness that may accompany my quads, hams and glutes tomorrow. :P

Mother Nature is screwing with us in the Midwest yet again... It's supposedly snow you see? But the good news is, my muck boots are no longer cutting into my calves!!! Look, there's room around my leg. WooHoo!

 

And yes... I stopped mid-workout to text my bff and let her know what her killer leg routine had done to me. LOL.

So, this morning was rough... up all night with not one but two sick kiddos, early am appointment with the chiropractor (who praised me for my working out and how well it's impacted my spinal health), and a very sleepy mama all day long, who wanted to skip her workout and crawl in bed early... very happy she stayed up to work out!!!

*Today was such a whirl wind. After eating my lunch I had to jet off to the farm to photograph baby goats for a farmers website. So I spent 3 hours without eating, yikes! Luckily the hubs through a bar in my purse and I chowed down while hurrying back home because we had plans for the evening to join our BFF's for a birthday celebration. I really could have planned a little better. Oh wait I did! I tossed in some peanuts and two cuties, however I found out that it's near impossible to drive home and peel a cutie at the same time. So the bar won.
