starting again!

since yesterday was the end of my 10k swing in 30 day challenge, i decided to go ahead and start again. i really enjoyed the extra workout and also it helped to have a goal that i could work towards. so today was the first day of my new challenge. i'm using my 12kg bell and i did 340 swings. last month i skipped 2 days (not consecutive) because i was either sick or hungover LOL and i had to do extra to make up for those. and that sucked. so i'm trying really hard to stay ahead this time so i don't have to kill myself with 100+ extra swings each day.

and UGH my new bell. i love it, it's perfect and just what i wanted BUT i have baby hands apparently and the handle is THICK. its hard for me to get a good grip on it when i'm doing hand to hand swings. so i'm gonna need to get creative to fix it. i figure one of my guys can figure something out, they're pretty handy and that's why i keep em around ;-) and i need to work on my presses, especially on my left side. i don't forsee that being an issue in a few days or so, i pushed thru with the 20lb when i first got it and i know i can do it with the 12kg too.

also started tracking my food/exercise on so far i've found it pretty helpful!!

oooooh and cameron has poison ivy on his FACE. so that is fun for everyone. booooooo.

today's workout:
*volume 1 dvd (40 mins) mostly used the 12kg, but also used the 20lb.
*340 swings
*maybe something else later?
