Hook ’em Horns!!!! Way to end the year with a big win!
The 43 today was another combo move – you know I love combos!!! It was a power fly. I started on my back and then lifted my hips (I kept my hips up the entire time it took to complete the 43). Each time I did a fly with my arms, I did a knee pull to my chest (alternating my knees). I counted a right knee pull and a left knee pull as one rep so I actually did 86 chest flys!!! Good thing I stuck with 10 pound dumbbells!!!

I had to keep giving myself a little pep talk – I said at 23 I would take a short break but I didn’t!! I said 33 would be the short rest – NO!!! I made all 43 (86) without taking a break!!!
Today was day 5 of the 12 Days of Fitness – added in 5 frog crunches!
I am totally loving Hunter’s new punching bag/speed bag combo!! I have decided it is a great substitute for me while I can’t run – I get a great cardio work-out with it and my arms are like jello after I’m done!!! A total win!!!
Today I did 50 right jabs, 50 left jabs, 500 right-left punches x 5 sets. I didn’t take any breaks and it took 19 minutes. Total of 3000 punches – 1500 with each arm and my arms are still shaking!!! I also worked on the speed bag for about 2.5 minutes – I still don’t have great timing – hopefully it will get better! I love the way I feel my triceps working when I hit the speed bag. Who knows – maybe I will have a new career soon!
It could be fun! I wonder if the boys would come watch or be embarrassed? Hmmm…..
Hunter has added another Rubik Cube to his collection – the 2 x 2 cube. I didn’t even know there was such a thing until recently!!! This one came yesterday afternoon in the mail (I had ordered these specialty ones and they were a bit late for Christmas – oh, well – extended Christmas for Hunter!!!)

Last night it was great to watch the Longhorns win! They haven’t played up to their potential the last year or two – hopefully Mac Brown is right and 2013 will be their year!!!
Guess I should get busy – Chris has almost finished cleaning the whole house while I’ve been sitting here – oops!!!
Happy Sunday!
