Kind of a crazy Monday...

Woke up waaaaay late... alarm didn't go off... didn't get up till 7:30am, which never happens to me during the week... totally threw my morning off! Went in to teach my ladies class, which was a good class... they were working hard! Didn't really get a whole lot accomplished today unfortunately... Going to go workout right now, hopefully I'll feel better after that ; )

Awww... it's the Monday after the challenge...

Well, I did it... the CrossFit Central Fittest Games Challenge on Saturday. There were 2 workouts:
Workout #1
4 rounds
10 115# Deadlift
10 Push Ups
15 Kipping Pull Ups ( I scaled and did jumping pull ups)
Workout #2
5 rounds
7 75# Push Press/Push Jerks
400 m Run
I ended up having my time disqualified... When I was doing the pull ups my counters kept telling me that I should only be doing 15 jumping pull ups when I should have actually been doing 30, which I knew and was trying to do but they kept saying no, only do 15. So, I went ahead and did both workouts and then afterward when they were tallying scores, I told Jeremy Thiel what had happened and he just disqualified my time but I get to move to the championships on April 4th. I was a little upset about it. He apologized and said it was their fault. I'm lo0king forward to the next competetion and will start training with the elite weight for women and work on my kipping pull up. I will master it one of these days...
Sunday, I decided to take an easy... I didn't run, I just went to the box and worked out with Conor and then practiced a little Jiu Jitsu... ; )

1000m Row
45# Thrusters (50 reps)
30 Pull Ups
Time:9:30
Scaled at:
1000m Row, 25# Thrusters, Green band pull ups
I wanted to take an easy today since I'm doing that challenge tomorrow...
So far to eat:
Breakfast: Protein shake w/ protein, peaches, strawberries & pineapple
Slice of turkey w/ avocado rolled in it, yummy!

Thursday... more or less a rest day...

The day started out great... got up and ran 4 miles. It was a great run, once again, I felt like I could have run another 2 with no problem! Went to school, had a great day at school... Went to the 'box', didn't really get to workout like I had entended... just rowed 1000m & push pressed 75# overhead a couple times to see how I would do... that is part of one of the workouts that I'll be doing Saturday at CrossFit Central... I think I'm thinking to much about this damn challenge... I just need to relax and have fun with it... It's all in good fun! I did get to go do MMA tonight... I decided not to spar at the end, I'm just not up for it yet... Oh well, in time...

This morning for breakfast: 3 blocks
Peach, pineapple & strawberry protein shake... with 1 oz turkey w/ 3 tbl avocado... yummy!
I started off the day with an awesome 4 mile run... felt like I could have gone another 2 miles if time would have permitted. Went to the box and did the 60 challenge workout at 5:45 which was: Tabata Something Else
8 rounds of 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest of
Pull Ups
Squats
Push Ups
Sit ups
I didn't count my reps per each set, should have but I didn't, oh well...
then went to the studio and did yoga, which was so nice... After that, I sat and watched the MMA class and took some pictures of Parker and Matt training... then, once they started working on the ground work I started in and worked with Austin on some Jiu Jitsu... it was awesome! I love Jiu Jitsu and hope get back into practice with it...

Getting back to it...

I kind of fell off the wagon as far as workouts and eating goes this last week... I haven't blogged or kept up with really anything for that matter... I've let things fall through the cracks, I guess just trying to balance everything... I had done a benchmark workout on Saturday to start the 60 day fitness challenge, but I'm not happy with it... I'm going to start again today because there are some who are starting today too... so, I'm going to join them on this venture. I will do the workout, get my body fat % read and will start tonight on my workouts & my diet... I will blog my results and start from there tomorrow...
