Sunday – Rest day, so that meant I ate a gluten free donut, then a breakfast taco, and a homemade mocha. Then I had an arepa. And cooked all day. So pretty much my life was surrounded by food…like usual.
Monday –

Burpees
I finished in 9:00.
Wednesday – You’re never going to believe this, but I felt like crap once again. Working out was stupid last week.

15 hand release push ups
30 Double Unders
I got 2+13. I hate that last part.
Thursday – REST DAY EFF YEAH!! All 3 of my last workouts felt crappy and I felt weak, so I decided a couple of rest days were in need. Sometimes you just need to listen to what your body is telling you. And mine was telling me that it needed to shop and eat. So that’s exactly what I did in Boulder. I shopped with a personal shopper, Liz from Mile High Style, and shopped at Common Threads and Chelsea and found AMAZING stuff for an upcoming photo shoot! Can’t wait to show you guys. Then I cooked up some stuff for something special. Can’t wait to tell you about that!
Friday – ANOTHER REST DAY EFF YEAH!! I was lazy as sh*t.
Saturday – This workout wasn’t on the website, it just said come in for a hero workout. So we knew it would be bad. And it definitely was. I hadn’t done this workout in probably 3 years and I hated it WAY more this time around. I do more sprint workouts on a regular basis so this one kicked my ass.
“Badger”
3 rounds for time of:
30 squat cleans (95/65)
30 Pull-ups
Run 800 meters
I got 36:30 rx
Favorite workout songs of the week:









Oh man, I know those bad days. I’m impressed that you kept going back! And took time off, too. Good for you!
Jackson looks so cute I could just die!!
Amazing workouts…especially because you weren’t feeling it.
Work out alarm went off this morning and I DID NOT want to go..Then I thought ..WHAT WOULD JULI BAUER DO!!!
Thank you for this! I sometimes feel guilty for not killing myself in wods. Then I think to myself “its a workout, dummy”. I do it to be healthy and look good naked, not to die! You are amazing. You keep truckin.
Do you still coach?
Yep, just two days a week now
Loving the Kongos this week too!
That picture of Jackson is literally the cutest one I’ve seen yet!
right?! I died of cuteness overload.
I can’t believe you did Badger in 36:30 – you are a beast. We did it on Friday, and it took me 50 minutes rx! So painful.
Hey Juli! When do you workout/coach? This might be a little creepy but I will be in Denver at the end of September and would love to come workout/meet you!
I work Monday mornings and Wednesday evenings. I workout at different times every day depending on what work I have to get done, so I can’t be very helpful with that, but usually 430 or 530
Awesome, hope to meet you! 🙂
You have to rest when you need it. Not lazy at all just smart!
