#Mamavation Monday & Memorial Day Murph

Good morning and Happy Memorial Day! I had great plans this morning. I was going to start out at 8am with #Crossfit and then head over to a Taebo Master Class. When I woke up this morning I was second guessing my plan. Then my kids started jumping on me, kicking me and fighting and then the whine came soon after. It was time to get going! When I showed up and read this on the board

“Murph”

1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run

I wanted to get inside my car and drive away! Then my trainer said, "Come on Pam! It's Memorial Day we have to do Murph!" Now, I didn't know who Murph was but I knew that he had to be someone special. I knew he had to be someone who served and if I wanted to truly honor those who served then I could get through this work out. I broke it up into 4 rounds, 25 pull ups with assisted black band, 50 push ups on my knees and 75 squats. By round 3 I thought I was going to hurl all over the place because I was so over heated and going up and down doing those squats made me dizzy! It didn't matter, what mattered was finishing and I did in 1 hour and 53 seconds. So here's to you Murph! Happy Memorial Day and thanks to those who have served to keep us free. Oh, and I didn't make it Taebo. I'm done for the day.

Scale Reading -173- back to where I started at the beginning of the month. When I woke up I weighted in at 175 and after spending time with Murph this morning I dropped 2 pounds. I'm taking it because I totally earned it.

Stress Level - After the body scan something in my head snapped. It was like a free for all and I started eating like crap again. Instead of going to bed I went right back into the late night snacking. I just couldn't seem to get full. Really, I should have just gone to sleep! Need to work on all this otherwise I'm spinning my wheels for nothing. AGAIN.
