...day one...

It is really hard to workout by yourself. I know I could have pushed myself more if someone else were there... Goal is to try to rearrange schedule to workout with the class so that I can get the maximum effect of my workouts.

aaahhhh....

It's really hard coming back sometimes after taking a day off... stomach of course is messed up and doesn't feel well at all... so that always brings me down mentally and physically...

Workout was:

5 rounds

5 Back Squats 135#
10 C2G push ups
15 GHD Sit ups
20 GHD Back Ext
25 KB Swings 16kg

Time 20:58

Could've done sub 20 mins but took lots of rest breaks for really no reason other than laziness...

Back at it again...

Got up bright and early this morning... met Daniel at the 'box' to WOD... I was feeling pretty good! It was nice to chat with him... We hadn't chatted or worked out together in a while... He was nursing his knee, so he took an easy...

We did:

5 Rounds
400m Row
10 Squat Cleans to thrusters (95#/65#)

K- 19:00
DK - 19:28

I should have gone heavier, maybe 75#... will increase weight next time for sure!

Found a new workout style that I'm going to attempt... sealfit.com... gonna give it a try... seems like it will fit my body type... we'll see! Trick is whether I can stick to my diet... that seems to be the ultimate challenge for me... I always fall off which makes me fall short of performance not only because a better diet will help me perform better but because the stuff that I'm eating causes my stomach to hurt something fierce!!! I really want to do the Thorne Cleanse and hopefully can start that once I get a little extra cash, cause it's pricey... but it's totally worth it cause it's the elimination diet... then maybe I could find out what's messing with my stomach once and for all...

What a great morning for a run...;-)

Woke up feeling great this morning... slept very well ;-) Went and met Megan for a run... there was a nice breeze this morning... we just ran a 5k, not for time, just for a run... we are each others therapist ;-) It's a good trade off... but I think I got a sweet deal... she shared her organicly grown tomatoes, corn and jalapenos with me... thanks Megan!!! I can't wait to eat them!

Anxious Monday morning.... ;-(

Not sure what was going on... I slept well, at least I thought I did?! Anyway, something was just off, but you know what? the positive side is that I have school today, so I get to learn something knew ;-) And that's how I'll leave it!~

My workout was pretty awesome... all mind games today though!

21 deadlifts @ 155#
Run 800m
15 deadlifts @155#
Run 800m
9 deadlifts @155#

Time 13:18

I started off pretty slow on this one... I did 5x3 deadlifts yesterday at 185#, so my back was already a little tired! Half way through started picking it up a bit and then those last deadlifts killed me... but hey, it's all over now!

All or nothing... it's all on you... and that's all there is to it!

You know... I'm really disappointed in myself... I haven't been taking theis challenge seriously enough... If I were, I would be more strict with my diet, my WoD's and my rest time... It's evident in everything that I'm not... the way I feel, the way I look... it's all tied together and I'm totally blowing all of it!!! I'm tired of telling myself one thing and then doing the total opposite... I'm setting myself up for failure everytime... Today, will be a new starting day for me... it has to be...

I ran 3.5 miles this morning with Megan... It was so good! I needed that desperately!

Came into the box this afternoon wanting to workout but couldn't stop talking to people... ;-) So, I didn't get started on my workout until late...

7 Rounds for time

7 OH Squats 65#
7 Box Jumps 24inch
7 clapping push ups ( I did regular push ups)

Only got through 5 rounds and time 12:53

Had a client come in to talk about nutrition and elements... and Jennifer was coming in for elements...

B: Protein shake... 1/4 c pineapple, 1/2 c peaches, 1 c strawberries, 2 tsp flax oil & 1 scoop protein powder

S: 1 oz turkey jerky, 1/4 c cranberries, 1/3 tsp pumpkin seeds

L: 1tsp garlic, 1tsp jalapeno, 1/8 c onion, 1/4 c peppers, 1/4 c tomato sauteed in olive oil spray... then added 2 eggs - topped w/ 1/8 c hatch green chili salsa & 1 avocado & 2 slices canadian bacon 6f/2c/3p

Feel good Tuesday!!!

Wow... slept through my alarm again to go running this morning. I hope this isn't becoming a habit...Went to the 'Box' to do a WoD...

It was 'Cindy'

AMRAP 20 mins

5 Pull ups
10 Push Ups
15 Squats

Did 10 rounds

I did them Rx though... kipping pull ups & chest to ground push ups... yeah baby!!! Finally got to get my name on the board for doing everything prescribed! I only did 10 rounds but now I have something to build from prescribed... I probably could have done more but tore my hand the other day doing pull ups and my tape was bugging!!! Good feeling overall though ;-) Now to go eat!

B: 2 eggs w/ onion, garlic and tomato cooked in. Topped with a whole avocado and hatch green chili salsa. 1 peach and a few strawberries and 3 slices canadian bacon.

L: Gristmill, but I did have a grilled chicken salad with oil and vinegar dressing. But I did partake in chips and salsa. SO GOOD! I think by far the best chips and salsa I've ever had! A glass of wine too... ok, so I screwed up...

S: Protein bar

D: Super Salads
