Yea. I Crushed It Today. At 9pm!

I was doing some of this on my TRX earlier this evening. Well, actually about 20 minutes ago in circuit #1 of my made-up KO TUESDAY BLAST. 425 Calories Torched in 50 minutes. BOOYA! How about you? Did you make progress or excuses today? 

DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE!

I'm kind of enjoying this daily conquering of my inner-bad-whiny-attitude. It's fun. And-- I'll tell you what, every day I am creating NEW trains of thought, NEW ATTITUDES that are going to help me. You might laugh and think this is silly- but heck, if my warped (previous) train of thought and current changes help one or two of you, well then AMEN KELLY you've done a good deed for the day. Now go dance to some Spice Girls in your bedroom. (Don't Lie and say you don't. COME ON)

Anyway, where was I?

Oh, a new thought pattern creation. I was doing my STRETCHING at the end of my workout tonight and I felt this area of pudge that just MAKES ME WANT TO SCREAM AND JUMP OUT OF MY WINDOW upsets me-- and previously, I would have noticed this said area of pudge and then 1) proceeded to get REALLY PISSED and 2) probably cried and 3) maybe got so upset and discouraged about it being there that I'd let it affect my entire week. There would have been times I'd start thinking, "Oh my gosh, I'm working so hard and I STILL HAVE THIS TO LOSE?? WHY EVEN MAKE THE EFFORT? I'M NOT GETTING ANYWHERE..." (Cue sad music and maybe this:

Only instead of HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU, substitute HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO FOOD. haha that was funny Kelly)

BUT!!!!!

See- a little play on words? I'm so creative..

Anyway, instead of feeling this area and thinking, "oh my gosh I have so much work to do...!!! waahhh" I changed my thinking to, "Ok. Imagine how fly I'm gonna look when this is gone. My gosh, KO, you are pretty bootylicious NOW, imagine when you get your RIPPED ON!!!".

OK?

New Kelly Is In the House Y'all. 

YIPPEEE! 

Here is today's Ramble-On-A-Thon, talking about FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS!! Ms. Bonnie Pfiester shared a ticked-off moment about Arby's on her blog today and it inspired my rambling. Please enjoy while you fall asleep. ;-)

So, what was my workout? I made up this circuit and if you peek at my posterous (or just click on my flickr photostream to the left) you'll see a screen shot of it, in RAW FORM but here it is:

WARMUP: Jog in place for about 2 minutes.

Using the hotel stairs (the hidden ones LOL)- I did 3 flights of stairs each:

  • one step running at a time
  • two steps at a time
  • three steps at a time

Then:

  • 25 Jumping Jacks
  • 25 Jumping Rope
  • 25 Plyo Squats

Circuit 1:

  • Straight Leg Front Kick (higher than head) 25 each leg
  • TRX Back pull ups- 12, GO HARD
  • Pushups like a big girl: 12

Circuit 2:

  • Straight Leg Side Kicks 25 each leg
  • Resistance Band Shoulders 12 each side 
  • Tricep Dips 20/16/12 -- was dying by the last circuit

Circuit 3:

  • Steve Pfiester's Blood Bath, I mean BCX Lower Body Blast: 
    I cannot lie. I was saying bad words during this part. 
    I finished up with 100 walking lunges, a bunch of wacky arm circle things to KILL my arms, 25 plie squats, 25 squats then 25 closed leg squats. Then hold a bent arm plank for a minute and a straight arm plank for a minute. Then I died. Then I stretched.
    CAN I GET A FIST PUMP PLEASE?
    I sometimes blow my own dang mind.
    QUESTION OF THE DAY: What is your favorite CARB? I have mad serious love for bran muffins. I cannot lie.
