Lots of running, little lifting TO Lots of lifting, little running!

Hello,

yesterday was a gym day! I hit another pr this week! This time in my back squat. I have hit a higher weight in this lift before, but it was a few years ago and I weighed 20 lbs heavier than I do now. Plus, I can say for sure that my form was not what it is now. So, I call it a pr!

Tough workout last night! But happy to come away with 2 pr's despite this nasty sinus/cold thing I have been dealing with!!

Got up this am at 5:30 and ran 3 miles in the rain! The beauty of running this early is that by the time I get home, shower, get in my car to drive to work ..I wake up and realize that I have already got my run in for the day! woohoo!!

Last nights Blue Apron meal was peanut chicken (it was supposed to be served with kale and white rice, since I am sick of kale and hate white rice, I subbed in fregula pasta for the rice and roasted brussel sprouts and broc**** for the kale!) YUM!!!

Awesome workouts! Glad you're feeling better too!

LMAO I've also noticed bb.com for some reason is editing out the work b-r-o-c-c-o-l-i, not sure when that became a dirty word.

[mom2sethc]

Hello,

Thanks Hobbes! that is too strange about broc****???

Today will be a run day. I was going to get it done this am, but 14 degrees was so NOT calling my name!! So, I'll got out this evening when I get home. 4-5 miles will do the trick.

Last nights Blue Apron dinner was black bean chicken enchiladas, I also roasted some cauliflower, the enchilada's had a salsa verde made with tomatilla's (never heard of them before have you?)

Anyway...it was DELISH!!!

Sunday - just run! I went out for a 9 mile run with my sister. Again, felt great. super excited to see how my weight training is assisting my running.

Our latest Blue Apron meal was burgers, with a siracha sauce and a red cabbage slaw. I also roasted sweet potato and cauliflower. yummy!!!

[thehobbes]

Good call dropping the wt a bit on DL if you feel you need to work on form.

Giggling to myself about how the Blue Apron meals include so many farty foods - beans, cabbage. Would be blasting ass so loud it'd wake up the neighbors.

Hobbes - speaking of "Farts"! I did have one slip out last week during pause squats! I was horrifed! LOL!!! luckily the music in the gym was so loud, but I about died! My coach said at one time that he can handle farts, vomit, etc, the only thing he can't handle is crying!!

[mom2sethc]

Hello,


good workout last night, it was bench press night. It is going to take some time before I make much progress on the bench! LOL! I can do sets of 5 at 70 lbs, I would guess that I can move up on weight for a set of 1-3, I may have to play around at home and see what kind of 1 rep max I can accomplish. We don't do "1 rep max" tests at my gym.

quick question on the bench...isn't the bar supposed to actually touch your chest/body before you push it back up? I've seen some women in my gym do the bench with heavier weight than me, but I am noticing that they do not "touch and go". What say you all? I aim for a touch, even a tiny pause before I push.

warm up - (usual plyo stuff, lunges, bear crawls, frog jumps, etc)

4 sets:
KB Cleans - 5
Chin Ups - AMRAP
WheelBarrows - 2 times across gym

5 sets:
Bench Press

Jump squats - 8
Tricep band pull downs - 15
battle ropes - 40 seconds

No Blue Apron last night! I just didn't feeling like cooking!! hee hee! I made hubby take me to a local joint and I had a pizza (well not the whole pizza!) with crispy bacon and yellow banana peppers! yummy!!

We are heading out to Cancun Mexico this Sunday!! I can't wait! Our honeymoon was in this area 21 years ago, we haven't been there since. I plan on rockin my fit 54 year old body in an itsy bitsy black bikini!!!!! hee hee!!!

[thehobbes]

Awesome work OP! Keep killing it!

LMAO, that guy is a keeper srs.

I've seen some women in my gym do the bench with heavier weight than me, but I am noticing that they do not "touch and go". What say you all? I aim for a touch, even a tiny pause before I push.

Yes, it is supposed to touch your chest in a controlled manner (don't bounce it off your chest either.) A lot of people either have bad form so their shoulders hurt when they touch chest, or they use too much wt which makes it impossible to touch chest because they'll get stuck/hurt. Same reasoning as far as why you see lots of people doing little baby squat depth reps instead of going all the way down.

[mom2sethc]

Hello,

cool, I had thought that the barbell was supposed to actually touch the chest. I know what you mean with regards to the back squat, I have done 125 lbs before in the back squat, but I was heavier and I KNOW my depth was not what it is now. Nor was my form as good. I'm doing 100 lb pause squats and I'm anxious to see what I can do without the pause! I like the form to be as perfect as it can be. Even if the weight is lighter, I'm not one to keep pushing the weight up, all in due time!!! I herniated a disc years ago and don't want to do anything to aggravate it! My current program is working out quite well for all of my activities, so I am quite pleased!.

Today was not a gym day so I ran this am. I wanted to stay in bed, thinking I can run this afternoon instead. But, I know that this won't happen, so hubby and I got up at 5:35 am and ran with our running group. Just 3 miles, but it is done! woohoo!!!

Yesterdays Blue Apron meal was YUMMY!!! It was a seared/roasted pork, over a bed of farro with fennel, figs. The pork was super tender, which doesn't usually happen for me when I make pork! This was seared first, then roasted at 450 for about 25 min.

I've been enjoying all of the different grains that BA uses, I'm not a big rice fan, so these other grains are refreshing!

[mom2sethc]

Hello,

I've been in Cancun Mexico all of last week! It was so nice! The weather was mid 80's and sunny, no rain the entire week. The beach is gorgeous! We stayed at Live Aqua, a spa adult only, all inclusive resort. Since it was a spa resort, the food was pretty healthy. I'm not a big drinker, so I didn't over indulge in that area either! The resort has a really nice gym, so I did use that a few times. But no barbell, lots of machines, and a smith machine. I tried doing back squats with it, but it was awkward for me. Lots of dumbbells though! Below was my last Sat gym workout before we left for our trip. Back to the gym today! yippee!

Warm Up - (normal plyo, bear crawls, lunges, etc)

some pics below. We cancelled Blue Apron for the week we were gone so until our next delivery comes this Friday, we have to make do on our own! Last night hubby grilled filet and I roasted sweet potatoes and broc****, yum!!!!

Also got out my Cuisinart and tried my hand a making a smoothie!! I used strawberries, banana, raspberries, pomegranate juice, and vanilla fat free yogurt. Super yummy!!

2 pics of me on the beach, I wish I could attach an old pic of me in Cancun taken 21 years ago when my hubby and I got married. Maybe I'll dig it up and send it, anyway I was 34 then, I am now at almost 55 in probably the best shape of my life! and most surely better shape than the last time I had my feet in Mexico sand!!

[mom2sethc]

Oooo your food always looks so delicious! I love sticking some broc in a grill basket over the open flames with a lil olive oil and grilling it til it's every so slightly crispy. I can't wait for grilling season to be back in full force.

[mom2sethc]

Hello,

yes, I am hooked on roasting veggies!!!! even my hubby eats them better now that I roast them! I'll have to try grilling them in the summer as the idea of heating the oven up to 450 degrees in the summer is not appealing!

Tuesday was a RUN day, so I went out planning to do 4 miles, however I felt so good I did 5.3, and could have gone further! I am so thrilled to see how much my lifting program is helping my running!!! I couldn't mix CrossFit and running, but this new program works for me!

[mom2sethc]

Hello,

I had a great weekend! My son came home from college for the weekend! It is so nice to have him close enough that he can come home whenever he needs and/or wants to! He has 2 more weeks of class until he is home for 1 week for his spring break. After that he has 6 more weeks and will have finished his freshman year! It goes so fast!!!!!

Anyway.. my weekend workouts were pretty tiring! I went to the gym on Sat am at 7:00, then I ran 5 miles at 11:00.
Then on Sunday am, I ran 10 miles. It was still fairly cold Sunday am, under 25, so I didn't exactly enjoy this run, but needed to get it done! I am trying to keep my running miles over 20, which I did this past week. But with only 3 days. I'd like to be running 4 days per week at around 25+ miles per week. I'm getting there!

Now that we are back from Mexico, it is back to Blue Apron! Last night was a pork burger. The pork was mixed with a spice blend including paprika, a sour cream, onion, olive oil dressing, and topped with kale (mixed with vinegar and olive oil). On the side was roasted potato and broc**** mixed with kale, vinegar, oiive oil and a red mexican pepper. YUMMY!!!!

[mom2sethc]

Hello,

Yesterdays workout was tough! We had very high winds in the area and our gym was without power. My class is from 5:30-6:30, so it wasn't quite dark by the time we finished. So we got our workout in.

Warm up - usual plyo, lunges, bear crawls, frog hops, etc

3 sets:
Shoulder burnouts (as our coach calls them, really just getting our shoulders ready for bench press) - 15 seconds hold in each of 3 positions
Wheelbarrow Carry - 2 laps of gym forward and backwards
1 arm ring rows - 12 each side

5 sets:
Bench Press
1x5 - 65
1x5 - 70
1x3 - 70 lbs
1x3 - 70 lbs
1x10 - 65 lbs (got a little help from coach on the 10th rep, but first 9 solid, pr for 10!)

KB Rows - 12 each arm
Sand bag cleans - 6

3 sets:
bike - 30 second sprint
KB row, clean, press, squat - 10 (these were tough!)
Gorilla Plank Holds - 60 seconds (these were tough too, you feel them in quads)


Today will be a run day, 4 miles in my hood!

[mom2sethc]

Hello,

Saturday am workouts are tough for me, I go to the gym at 7:00 am. It is much easier to get up early to run than it is to get up early to workout at the gym! Anyway, Saturday is deadlift day, which does make it easier for me! This past Saturday when I saw our workout, there were no deadlifts! I told me coach that deadlifts are the reason I got up!! So, he told me I could still deadlift! So Saturdays workout follows:

Warm up - usual plyo, lunges, bear crawls, frog hops, etc

3 sets:
sand bag cleans - 8
Chin Ups - 10
KB Racked carry - 2 lengths of gym
push ups - 10 (I can do 5 full pushups per set, then the next 5 on a bench)

5 Rounds:
Barbell Complex - 45 lb bar
barbell RDL's - 6
barbell clean -6
barbell push press - 6
barbell front squat - 6
barbell row - 6

This was tough! you do all 6 reps of each move without stopping for 1 round, then do that 5 times. After the 2nd round, it was really hard to move from the press to the squat without putting the barbell down for a few seconds! I hated it and enjoyed it at the same time!!!

Deadlifts:
5 x 105 lbs
3 x 115 lbs
3 x 125 lbs
3 x 135 lbs

I had a yummy smoothie when I got home for recovery! I put banana, strawberries, blueberries, vanilla greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, chia/flax seeds, pomegranate juice, yum!

Sunday was a run day, I ran 11.5 miles. It was chilly, around 24 degrees, but not too bad! I felt really good and had no trouble with the distance. I need to get a little more consistent with my running, 3 days per week should be minimum, 4 is max.

My last 2 Blue Apron meals below, one was a salmon dish (I do not like salmon, so I gave mine to my hubby, I just ate the farro and apple stuff, yummy!

The other dish was chicken yakiniku, served with garlic white rice, marinated carrots and bok choy. It was also very good!!!

[mom2sethc]

Hello,

Here's a friendly face from our Cancun trip!

[thehobbes]

DB clean and press are really awesome for building explosive strength, they look badass too.

LMAO at that lizard's expression, heehee.

[mom2sethc]

Hi!

We do a lot of work with KB and DB's on the clean and press, I really enjoy it, trying to move up on the weight and perfect the form.
It's pretty exciting to lift weights now that at one time felt really heavy!
Do you all ever do "1 rep max" tests? We did them in CrossFit, but in my current gym we work in sets of 3,5,10's. I am planning to do 1 rep max tests on my lifts this week and see what I can do!


Warm up - usual plyo, lunges, bear crawls, frog hops, etc

3 sets:
Shoulder burnouts (as our coach calls them, really just getting our shoulders ready for bench press) - 15 seconds hold in each of 3 positions
Wheelbarrow Carry - 2 laps of gym forward and backwards
1 arm ring rows - 12 each side

5 sets:
Bench Press
1x5 - 65
1x5 - 70
1x3 - 70 lbs
1x3 - 75 lbs (woohoo! 3 rep pr!)
1x10 - 65 lbs

KB Rows - 12 each arm
Sand bag cleans - 6

3 sets:
bike - 30 second sprint (I HATE the bike sprints!)
KB row, clean, press, squat - 10 (these were tough!)
Gorilla Plank Holds - 60 seconds (these were tough too, you feel them in quads)

Can one get TOO much fruit? I know it is important to get more veggies than fruit, but I have added a fruit smoothie in the am, trouble is that it fills me up so much, I don't get my bowl of oatmeal (which I love and miss!). My smoothie contains banana, strawberries, , vanilla greek yogurt, frozen blueberries, chia and flaw seeds, protein powder and pomegranate juice (it is yummy!).

Below is our last Blue Apron meal, it was good, but the flavor wasn't exactly my thing, white rice, shrimp, cabbage, curry, etc.

I believe I have enough posts to post pics directly in my messages, I will try and see if I know how to do it!


<img>C:\Users\conarde\Pictures</img>

[mom2sethc]

didn't work? how do I post pics in my text?

[mom2sethc]

trying again!

[img]C:\Users\conarde\Pictures\shrimp.jpg[/img]

[mom2sethc]

I'll just continue to just post links. Here is my smoothie and last BA meal!

[Fiction2Fitness]

All is looking good, food and workouts. Keep it up!

[mom2sethc]

Hi!

Thanks Fiction!

yesterday was a "no gym" day, so instead I ran. I ran 4 miles in my n'hood. It was sunny out and 36 degrees, so all in all a pretty good day to get out and run!
Today is also a "no gym" day, I would run, except we are leaving right after work to pick up our son from college! It is his spring break and I am looking forward to having him home for a week!

No Blue Apron last night! Instead we went out to dinner, I was pretty good, I had a bowl of potato leek soup and an order of sweet potato fries. They were yummy!!! Oh, I also had a mango/pomegranate martini!! I don't drink very often, but I do enjoy fruity, sweet martinis!

I've calculated 1 rep max numbers for my 3 main lifts, I plan to do 1 rep max tests this week. I'm simply curious what I can do.

Tomorrow is both a gym and run day! woohoo!

[mom2sethc]

Hello,

Saturday am workout:


Warm up - usual plyo, lunges, bear crawls, frog hops, etc

3 sets:
sand bag cleans - 8
Chin Ups - 10
KB Racked carry - 2 lengths of gym
push ups - 10

barbell clean -6

3 sets:

Saturday am workouts are hard for me! I don't get up early enough to have a full breakfast, so maybe that is part of the problem? I have been pr'ing Saturdays in my dead lift though, so I guess it isn't all that much of a problem! It's just an early workout, 7 am. It is easier to get up and run than it is to get up and workout at my gym!

Anyway, after my workout I made me and my son (home this week from college!) kodiak pancakes! yummy!!

Then out the door I went at 11 for a 6 mile run! Felt go and strong, no problems.

Sunday was a 13.1 run with my sister! We are training for a half marathon race in April. The run went really well. It was about 36 degrees with a little drizzle here and there. (pics below!)

I forgot to get a pic of our Blue Apron meal from last night, it was yummy though, it was chipotle meatloaf and fried potatoes, I also roasted some broc****. My son, who hates meatloaf, loved it and ate 2 pieces!

[thehobbes]

Good luck with the 1 rep max tests this week!

Weird to think about it being Spring Break time already, doesn't feel like it weather wise lol. Have fun with your son!

[mom2sethc]

Thanks Hobbes! I am enjoying him! Once he goes back to campus, he'll only have 7 more weeks then he is home for the summer! He has track meets during 5 of those weekends, so I will see him at the meets!

I haven't got a chance to try out my 1 rep maxes, yet, it's been a busy weekend. Soon though!
