Spring!

Spring is finally here! I've been waiting what seems like forever for the weather to finally warm up! Things are starting to turn green around here, birds are chirping, and we are experiencing one of many thunderstorms that are soon to come. I plan to relish this spring weather before it gets ridiculously hot.

Yesterday I got up really early and went for a 1 mile time trial run. I've wanted to do this for awhile to see how fast I could push out a 1 mile run. I did it in 7:45 with a tiny walk break - since it was an out and back, I walked for a few seconds when I turned around. I was pretty out of breath afterwards, so this is probably about as fast as I can go at this point. I'm definitely getting better! 

After my run I went back inside for my WOD. 

30 burpees

10 wide push ups

10 regular push ups (REAL push ups, all the way down to the floor!)

4 pull ups/as best I could do, various grips

10 tricep dips

30 squats

10 overhead lunges

10 overhead dumbell swings

Bear crawls

Spinal balance

Then I went outside to pull some weeds and seed some grass. YAY! Heh. Our builders were lazy and didn't sod our backyard so I have to start it from scratch. In hindsight I really should have asked them to sod it for us, but they had seedlings back there and stupid me just figured it'd just magically turn into a full lawn. And now they wanna charge us  $1600 for sod. Yeah, no. So the work falls to me. And I am sore today! Hopefully I get some grass out of it.

And now...

Crazy Unexpected Side Effects of Weight Loss #37 - Your fingers will shrink!

Ok, so if anyone is out there reading this and is - in the process of losing weight and about to get engaged/married/purchase jewelry for some other reason, READ THIS!

Your fingers WILL shrink! 

This is something I was expecting at all... but in the 33-ish lbs I have lost so far, part of that has come from my fingers! Lately I've been noticing my wedding ring sliding around on my finger, so much so that I feel like it's about to slide right off! So I went in to have it resized and it turned out to be a whole size different! And since life has to throw in it's curveballs, my ring is also damaged and can't be resized without replacing the "head" - where the diamond sits. My ring is old, it was given to me by my mother in law. So now we have to spend $400 to get it repaired. Sucks! Ah well. It needs to be done. 

Finally getting back to my good diet! Gotta lose these last 10-15 lbs. My pcos is throwing a wrench into things this week. My body doesn't seem to be with the rhythm here. I'm tired of the persistent cramps!
