“Murph”
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run
I wanted to get inside my car and drive away! Then my trainer said, "Come on Pam! It's Memorial Day we have to do Murph!" Now, I didn't know who Murph was but I knew that he had to be someone special. I knew he had to be someone who served and if I wanted to truly honor those who served then I could get through this work out. I broke it up into 4 rounds, 25 pull ups with assisted black band, 50 push ups on my knees and 75 squats. By round 3 I thought I was going to hurl all over the place because I was so over heated and going up and down doing those squats made me dizzy! It didn't matter, what mattered was finishing and I did in 1 hour and 53 seconds. So here's to you Murph! Happy Memorial Day and thanks to those who have served to keep us free. Oh, and I didn't make it Taebo. I'm done for the day.100 Pull-ups

Scale Reading -173- back to where I started at the beginning of the month. When I woke up I weighted in at 175 and after spending time with Murph this morning I dropped 2 pounds. I'm taking it because I totally earned it.
Stress Level - After the body scan something in my head snapped. It was like a free for all and I started eating like crap again. Instead of going to bed I went right back into the late night snacking. I just couldn't seem to get full. Really, I should have just gone to sleep! Need to work on all this otherwise I'm spinning my wheels for nothing. AGAIN.

HOLY COW LADY! Way to bring it! It's great that you honored our military by busting your butt!
Wow! What a way to honor our veterans. You go, girl!
I am going to save the "Murph" and try to do it this week. Totally killer!
I love that you are so persistent... and I love reading your sidebar for challenges and inspiration. So, thank you. Glad to see you back at it and losing. We all struggle, but the winners keep going. Have a great week!
Wow! You rocked that workout! I'm sore just thinking about doing that! Congrats and way to kick off this coming week!
I did the Bolder Boulder 10K today and ran in honor of the KIAs I find when I google my name, the Ruizs who aren't here anymore. I was bummed about not going to Crossfit but I celebrated on the course with 56,000 others and then a huge Memorial Day program with Air Force Academy flyover. Thank you MURPH for your service and I am glad you stayed today Pamela. See ya in a couple of days.
As a military wife, thank you for noting one of our fallen heroes! I suffer from what you do too with the snacking. I thought I had a firm handle on it until my husband returned from Kuwait after a year's deployment and the rest of the chaos of moving, etc. Have a great week!!!
