I am starting to get into this whole beach thing. Too bad we are on our way home. Yesterday, I did stairs sets. 8 sets of 60 stairs. At the top of each set, I did an upper body set. All total, I ended up with 2 sets 25 push-ups, 1 set of triangle push-ups, and 3 sets of bench crunches. Then, I went surfing. My arms are toast. I did catch a few waves which means I did about 10 pop-ups. I'm counting them as burpees! We had a fun day at the beach although it was entirely packed. I watched people drinking in the sun and thought, gack, how did I used to do that?
This morning, I ran on the beach for 30 minutes. I am feeling my legs today. The stair sets were a little killer. I'm feeling good though. I'm feeling strong. I managed to do 3 sets of 15 pull ups and I'm so excited because last year at Tough Mudder, I couldn't do one! What a difference a year makes! Nothing but fish tacos and blueberries since I've been here. Grandpa keeps buying the girls ice cream, but I have opted out. My bathing suit doesn't fit quite the way I'd like it to. Now that I am in menopause, my body is different. I can't take weight off quite as easily and I carry it differently. Still trying to figure out how to deal with this molasses-esque metabolism. 10 hours in a car on I-5 will not contribute to my fitness and weight loss goals. Ha ha! Tomorrow is TM training. That should be interesting....
