What’s a girl to do while she waits for her husband to get home from his long commute (boo!)?
Practice double unders and handstands – prepping for the handstand pushups, my friends!
This handsome guy showed up a bit early and about gave me a heart attack. So glad he didn’t come in behind me while I was in a handstand. I would have cracked my head on the concrete for sure!!
Puppies outside the gym!! The big one really wanted me to pet him. He was giving me sad eyes. I know he’s nice, but I was chicken!! He’s soooo big!!! Would your dog stay like that while you’re at the gym? Boyd would accost everyone who walked by – I’m sure of it! But I have puppy fever!!! I really need my new dog. Apparently we also have to do a phone interview. They are intense about letting you adopt a Vizsla!!!
Today’s WOD:
KB Killer
For time: 100x reps each exercise
KB Swings
KB Goblet squats
KB Press (half on each arm)
KB Suitcase Deadlift Burpee
KB Thruster (half on each arm)
(via Wod Shop)
So I probably should have scaled that. It took me 46:44 to complete. But I am using a little heavier weights. I used 25lbs for the first two, finally regressing to 20lbs and 15lbs on the thrusters. I was definitely a little shaky afterwards.
Ahh… post-workout bliss!! My shirt is extra neon at dusk!
I made mashed potatoes earlier in the day so we could get dinner on the table quickly after the gym. Mine was sweet potato + Greek yogurt + milk + salt & pepper + garlic + basil. So delicious. I’m going to turn into a sweet potato!!! Kevin also grilled some chicken tenders for me.
Kevin James, on the other hand, enjoyed a:
A STEAK! Kevin told me that he hasn’t had a steak since before he met me!! I wasn’t really sure since we dated long distance for almost two years. And the only reason he had this one is because it was left for him by the house’s previous owners. So deprived.
Or not.
I also made him some apple crisp for dessert and enough for him to take with his lunch today. I had some really random apples lying around that I needed to disguise somehow!
Help a sister out. I need an idea. Our gym is having a competition where you post a picture of yourself on Facebook at the gym and see who gets the most likes. What should I take a picture of myself doing? Running on a treadmill isn’t exactly fascinating photography.
That’s what I wish I could do… or one-armed against a wall on two kettlebells. Not quite there yet. Lol. Maybe I could do it on one kettlebell against a wall. I’d have to practice not falling on my face.
Oh! I fell doing kettlebell burpees last night!! That’s what I get for being a pansy and using 20lbs! 25+ is easier to stabilize yourself on. I totally biffed it and rolled out of the plank position on kettlebells.Right in front of a little personal training session going on. Oops! I just kept going. I didn’t see anyone else doing 100 kb burpees!!! Haha.
Okay… let me know if you have any ideas. And I’ll let you know when you can go like it us because you love me sooo much!!! Later! Chop, chop, lollipop!
P.S. If you didn’t see the Boykin with bacon… it’s worth a click. It probably is even if you saw it yesterday! Lol.
All your pics gave me the idea to start a youtube channel so thank you
Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRhe2UX0Veo&feature=plcp I will be makig up some real videos soon!
Hope you like it

I think something hand standing would be fun too.
aww, that is a super great photo of Kevin! Hope we can come visit someday! You did 100 burpees with Kbs? Youre hardcore! How do you even do that? I don’t have a gym, so all i have are 5 pound weights…they usually get the job done.
5lbers totally work!! you can use them with burpees too! Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASzVp40yl-s
Kettlebell burpees you can do by holding on to the handles while you jump your feet out! It’s a little tricky unless you use heavy kettlebells… but then you have to be able to pick them up when you jump back. It’s lose-lose!!! Lol. But just plain ones are still tough!! I saw a girl do 100 in less than 5 minutes! Isn’t that CRAZY?
Is that your pretty new red house?!?! FUN
Aw, those doggies are so cute! I am DYING for another dog, but my husband is adamantly against it. Wah!!!
you are adopting a viszla?? that is so cool! i pry spelled that wrong. my dog sits outside while i grocery shop. he barks a couple times and i have no idea what at or why (because i spy on him) but then he just sits there and looks good to all the unsuspecting passerbys.
HOLY HANDSTAND. That’s crazy.
Nice bike.
I was going to suggest crow pose . . . but the picture at the beginning of this post is pretty cool! Especially if add a caption, “Just waiting for my husband . . . “.
I love seeing your WOD’s! Your handstand looks great! You’ll be doing push ups in no time!
Crane? Or the other crazy yoga pose!
I think a crazy yoga pose would get you lotsa votes!
What a great picture contest! I wish I had some creative ideas but I will be thinking for you. Love the combo of sweet potato and greek yogurt to make mashed potatoes. Sounds delectable.
