Bodyweight plus baby

In an attempt to "take it easy" today, I decided to do a bodyweight circuit. It turned into a great and quite intense met-con workout, not unlike the 400 m dashes of yore. I might do this more often.

3 rounds:
500 m row (2:24, 2:20, 2:22)
40 squats (Ouch. I can really feel those extra 25 lbs!)
Max rep push-ups (37, 35, 35)

Finished with:
1500 m row (8:05 - averaged 2:40/500m)
Plank - 50 sec

Then some shoveling back at the ranch. Now I'm going to nap.

Still at 152 lbs. Really, I should gain some weight.

I will assume this is just a phase

I had a kind of crappy workout today. Not necessarily feeling tired, but my belly didn't seem to be cooperating. It seemed that whatever I tried, it felt twingy, or it contracted. No big discomfort, but enough that I felt like pushing it (or continuing, in some cases) would not be a good idea. Anyway, I managed the following:

3 rounds:
Row 700 m (walk 1/4 mile @ 3.3 mph, 10% grade)(walk 1/5 mile @ 3 mph, 10%)
30 push-ups*
15 db swings (20 lbs -- this is 5 lb less than usual)

*First set I tried with knees on the ball, hands on the floor. I managed 15, but it was really uncomfortable, so I did another 15 on the floor. Belly's not too much in the way.

Then:
Squats - 45 x 15, 12
DB presses - 40 x 8, 6

Weigh-in: 153. Progress at last!
