Sore Muscles Happy Heart!

So today brought on its own challenges but I feel good about the work I did today! I feel so energized when I exercise. Like today for example I looked around at the house work and cringed because there was too much to do. But I decided even though I felt like I could probably work on chores all day and not get everything done, I was going to do my workout! I felt so good afterwards and was able to tackle the tasks at hand. Plus I played with the kids and read them books before bed, I feel like this was a pretty great day.

In case you were wondering this is the workout I did today

#1 Warm up- Large stairs (equivalent to skipping two stairs) for about 5 minutes, 100 jumping jacks, 100 ski jacks and 30 bur-pees. 

#2 Self Assessment Workout- assisted pull ups 6, assisted dips 6, girl push ups 5, bench 70lbs 8x, squat 110lbs 3x, standing overhead dumbbell press 20lbs in each hand 10x, single leg dumbbell dead lifts 20lbs in each hand 10x, dumbbell deadlifts 20lbs in each hand 10x, lunges 10 on each side, plank 35sec, and 1/2 mile run 5 minutes and 20 seconds. 

#3 Cool Down- Bike ride around my neighborhood 3 laps and a bit of stretching

I am using this as one of my guidelines to see improvement. I will probably do something similar every month if not more. 

I plan to do heavy workouts with strength training 2x a week, yoga as often as possible (like I might do a bit every night) and swimming, biking, jogging, or sports 3x a week. 

As far as food goes I am eating fruits, veggies, wholesome grains, beans, and nuts/seeds daily and striving to limit dairy, processed grains, and sugars out of my diet (which is even more challenging than eating the healthy foods...)
