Yay mixer shakes

And I found the blades to the magic bullet so now I can make good shakes again!  Well, technically my husband found them lol, attached to another cup, derp guess I didn't look hard enough lol.  We made strawberry protein shakes, they were super yummy!!  Today I mixed my tetrabolic powder with milk and peanut butter, extra awesome.

(Sidenote: Magic Bullet is a mini blender power set we got at costco a year ago.  It's not what you're thinking of.)

The workout today left my arms hurting, I can barely type this lol.  Ow my arms.  And my legs, so much leg torture geesh.  Feeling good though and strong.  And it's weird, but my thighs are getting smaller and pulling in a bit already, and it looks really, really weird.  I've always had thunder thighs as long as I can remember, so yea it's weird.  But it feels good.  :)

Ok, on with the workout!!

Squat and Press x 17, x 24, x 21, x 25
Squat Jumps x 30, x 24
Push Ups x 30, x 29
Abdominal x 48, x 46
Switch Lunges x 22, x 20
Weight Swing x 15, x 6
Weighted Row x 15, x 8
Weighted Squat and Press x 15, x 10
Burpees x 19

What's a burpee?  Although I explained this already, here's a fun gif I found!



So I'm supposed to use a sandbag (this one actually Sandbag <3) but since I don't have one ( ie. they're expensive) I'm using a ziploc I filled with rice, since I have 50 lbs of rice sitting in my kitchen.  It doesn't work as well as the sandbag, but it works.  I like the sandbags, because unlike our weight bar which is huge, takes up space, and always manages to hurt someone like in a 3 stooges cartoon, they are small and compact and can go anywhere.  But my ricebag is working for now, so huzzah!!

Man I'm hurting, I'm welcoming the weekend and rest day, my muscles need it.  One more day till rest days!

As I was writing this I realized I forgot my burpees >.<  Oh god, kill me now lol.  So I went to do them, or at least a set, and I just busted out 19 burpees without resting.  Holy cow.  If that doesn't tell me how well I'm doing...I don't know what else will convince me.

Till next time!!
