I did my second Whoop Ass Crossfit workout using a kettlebell.

My Whoop Ass Workout #2 looked like this:

15 reps of Kettlebell Swings with 15 pound kettlebell
15 reps of Standing Twists with Kettlebell with 15 pound kettlebell
15 reps of Wide Legged Squats with Upright Row  with 15 pound kettlebell
10 reps of Step ups with 15 pound kettlebell (each leg)
10 reps of One Arm Dumbbell Rows with 15 pound kettlebell

I did 5 sets with No Rest as fast as I could without breaking form for 20 minutes.

I am planning to do varied Crossfit style workouts twice week in addition to my regularly scheduled routines. I am loving the heart pounding, and sweat dripping of it!! I even took a pic of myself after the workout, and I have the hugest smile on my face. I am looking forward to buying a new kettlebell, I think I am gonna shoot for a 30 pounder?! Oh Boy.

So, I was talking to a new "friend" of mine on here. This so called "friend" told me about CrossFit training. High Intensity, I only have to do it for 20 minutes, he has seen great results from it… Hmmm…I thought it sounded interesting so, I decided to try it today.  He warned me it would be like unleashing a "Can of Whoop Ass" on me and I may even puke??!! Yet, I still wanted to try it, in fact I couldn’t wait to try it?! Me, being an arrogant idiot, told him… Bring it on!!

I was okay, sweating, my heart was pumping, labored breathing, and then I got to the 3rd set and started to feel the sip of water I took before I started creeping up on me… YES, I said SIP!! All I could do was keep praying to the "NoN-Puking Fairy" to get me through this without puking!! I didn’t want to have to admit defeat to my "friend" especially over a darn SIP of water.

Then, I got to the fourth set and the nausea had subsided. At this point I was beat red, dripping with sweat, heart pounding and I started praying to the "Don’t let me Die Gnome"!!! The Gnome was listening because I got through the 20 minutes, and I lived to say … Thanks Neil, some "friend" YOU are!!!

My @ss has been Officially Whooped!! YOU weren’t lying.
P.S. - I can’t wait to do it again!! I loved the torture!!
I just have to remember:  Never take a sip of water before CrossFit Training ever again!!

I thought I would only be down for 2 days max, not 4 days! Geesh! Boy, it was rough!!
I woke up feeling good this morning and managed 35 minutes of Lifting and 35 minutes of Cardio. Ah Life is good again.

I started tanning yesterday. I love it. I am going for year number 2 with no tan lines! It’s a stupid goal but, it makes me happy. Especially, since no one will see I have no tan lines, it just makes me happy to say it. Yes, I know I am strange.

I started using Liquid Chlorophyll again this morning. Yes, the stuff that makes plants green. It is supposed to give you energy, help with the immune system, help with anemia, work as an antioxidant, cleanse the liver and intestines, and combat against odor and mold??!! I do not smell bad or contain mold, at least I don’t think so and no one has told me, but better to be safe than sorry?!

Anyway, Have a great Memorial Day Everyone. Thank you to all our soldiers who have served and are serving. Thank you with all my heart. Big Hugs to you all and your families.

Why is it that once someone says "You Can’t" have something, all of a sudden you Want it more than ever!? I can’t eat today ’cause tomorrow is another fun filled day with a colonoscopy and endoscopy for me! WooHoo! This morning even Plain Oatmeal sounds Terrific! I usually can’t stand it, and force it down my throat. Most times I will even forget to eat, I Know … What kind of Moron does it take to Forget to eat!!… You are looking at her!!

Atleast, I will soon be able to say… I Have The Cleanest Insides Ever… why I would want to say that, I have No Idea?! But, knowing me, I will say it to everyone I come in contact with tomorrow, just for a reaction.

I did a full body workout yesterday knowing I will not be able to workout today or tomorrow. It seemed like the right thing to do.  I am proud of myself for planning for it. I am serious about lessening my jiggle!!

It’s so cool at work today. The Blue Angels are flying over head practicing. They are so amazing to watch.

I think I am getting light headed from not eating, my mind is all over the place. Let me go eat some jello or something. I Hate Jello!
