Saturday's blog... awesome day!

Went into the 'box' early to meet Daniel to do a WoD... Wasn't sure what it was yet, he said the luck of the roll... That's exactly what it was. He wrote down ten WoD names(actually there was 2-9, we could make up 1 or 10 if we rolled that)... by that time Jason showed up so he was in on the roll... He rolled a number, I rolled a number and then we fliped a coin to see which one we were going to do... Well... Grace won, 30 snatches or however you can get the weight from the ground to above your head... I did powerclean to split jerk, Daniel did powerclean to push press and Jason the beast, did snatches the whole way through... I think we all did a phenominal job... I really enjoyed that workout and would like to get better and be able to snatch 85#'s or more 30 times... Well, so then, I did the WoD, which was 21 kb snatches right arm, 21 L pull ups, 21 snatches left arm, 21 L pull ups, 3 rounds... that was insane! Daniel capped the workout to 20 minutes... Daniel and I also did a ton of ab work, which was awesome!

Love, hate...

What a way to start the day... My phone rang at 5:26am several times in a row... It was Daniel calling to tell me that he over slept... Well, turns out, I had over slept too! My alarm didn't go off... I think I set it for pm instead of am... I had to rush to get ready cause I had to be at the 'Box' by 6am to teach Group & WoD... Thank goodness Jackie and Daniel were both there to open the door... So, I'm still not feeling great today... I feel lop sided cause I can't hear out of my left ear and my head is starting to get really congested & runny, it can't decide what to do... Who knows what's going on... could be allergies, could be a cold, don't really know... I was supposed to go to the student health center at Texas State but they don't have any appointments today until 4:15 which is too late for me unfortunately... oh well, the suffering continues... I can hang, I'm a big girl! Anyway, did a crazy workout even though I'm not feeling well...

Awesome day! Awesome workout... ; )

Woke up this morning feeling pretty good & energized... ran a 5K pretty fast, didn't really keep time, although I need to start... Had a great day at school & then came to work, worked out with Ryan, thanks Ryan! It was awesome, he helped me push myself through the workout...

We did the CrossFit HQ WoD, which was:

50 Ring Dips
400m Run
50 Push Ups

Food intake today was pretty good...

Breakfast: Protein Shake

2/3 c Aloe Vera Juice
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 c peaches
1/2 c pineapples
1 c strawberries
1 c ice
3/4 tsp olive oil

3 slices canadian bacon
1 plum

Lunch: Salad & cup of tomato basil soup

Jason's Deli

Salad w/ olives, tomatoes, red & yellow peppers, artichokes, mushrooms, feta, 3 eggs, jalapenos, olive oil & balsamic vinegar...

It was so good! I'm sure I went over on something but I figured veggie carbs are better than fruit anyway, oh well ; )

Getting back to it...

Got pretty good sleep last night, so I feel pretty good today... got up, came & taught the group & WoD classes... then, did my workout which was pretty good... I wasn't really feeling it at first but then started a good rhythm & got in the zone!

I did:

10,9,8,7,.....1

Pull Ups
Tire Flips
Row ( Calories )
KB Snatches
Push Ups

Time: 23:02

I don't know if my time was good or not cause I don't have anything to compare it to... I'll try it again in a week or so and see how I do then... I will probably come in tonight and do some other workout...

My food so far this morning is nothing... I wasn't thinking and didn't bring anything with me... Going home now to have a protein shake, yummy!

A little sore today....

I had a big test today... so my mind was a little preoccupied & not focused on my workout or my food...

I ran a 5K this morning in the drizzle with my awesome running partner Megan ; ) We were gonna run 5 miles but cut it short cause I needed to get to school to finish up studying for my History test that I was totally stressing over!!! Turns out studying really works, haha ; ) ... got my test, looked it over & started knocking out the questions without doubt... that was the best I've felt about a test in a long time!

My CrossFit workout today was:

3 Rounds:

10 Burpee/Medball Slams
20 KB Swings (each arm)
30 Back Extensions

Time was 12:30, not good at all but like I said I wasn't really focused today... I'll try that one again next week and see if I improve.

My diet today totally blows, so I'm not gonna even talk about it... I definitely need to get my diet back on track though especially with all of these CrossFit competitions coming up...
