school, kettlebell, school, school

so i started grad school last week. yikes, it's a lot of work! i mean i knew it would be, but jeez! i think next term i need to cut back to one course instead of 2. anyway, even though i started school i am staying committed to working out. it's been a while since my last post. since then, i started kettlebell and crossfit training. its a military style workout that i am still struggling everyday with. it's HARD. but i love it, and i think it's going to help transform my body.

here's the workout we did today (you won't know what any of it means, i hardly do either until the instructor explains.)

Plank Cocktail
4 Rounds for Time:
Snatches x 12/12
Burpees x 12
Push Press x 12/12
Ring Rows x 24
Swings x 24

for those who don't know what a kettlebell is, here you go. (and also what my body will look like in 4 months, HA! just kidding, she's a little too muscular for me!)



i also did some insanity this weekend, so i am hoping to balance kettlebell and insanity with some running on the treadmill until i am finally in shape. i have also started eating better, finally. it's not perfect yet, but it's better than it was. i am loosely following weightwatchers, but really just trying to make better choices and not think about food constantly. when you're trying to lose weight, not thinking about food is almost impossible!

ok, back to my schoolwork. fun times!
