WOD 3/5/10

This was a nice team WOD because I got to be teamed up with my Dad. Ya, I work out with my Dad... sometimes. He started a couple of weeks ago with his wife and loves it. I love having friends and family in the box, makes it even more of an awesome place to be!

Keeping count of my reps in this WOD was pretty impossible. Tell me to lift heavy weight and do a million KB swings, no sweat. Tell me to count them all, now thats a total different story. It was hard and fun though and in the end we did 14 burpees which was not even close to the most a team had to do.

WOD

"Third Wheel"
Teams of 3 will perform amrap in four minutes of

You will keep count of your individual score, then total score with team to give you a "team score".
You will post team score to comments.

WOD 3/4/10

WOD 3/3/10

Woke up dark and early for this one. It's still dark when I leave my house. During this WOD I noticed my sprints getting stronger. Much faster. Its really good to be able to feel faster and stronger. This is only the beginning of my third month and the change is incredible. When I talk to people that are intimidated by crossfit and don't want to do it because they don't want to be the slowest/weakest person there I tell them not to worry, that you catch up in no time at all and its really really true.

WOD

"Aurora"

7 rds

You have three mins to complete a 50yd sprint and perform 5 Power clean & jerks.
M135 W95. You will rest the remainder of the time.

If you get caught by the clock, your WOD turns into an amrap.

Your "Aurora" score is your longest rest period.
The longest I remember resting is 2:15 (Low 45lb/High 55lb)

Tuesday 3/2/10

I didnt WOD today. Had to run an errand and shop. Yes, SHOP. A girl has got to be a girl sometimes! Shopping and trying on clothes is actually pretty inspiring to someone who is trying to get in shape and look great. It reminded me that I still have a ways to go and to keep going. Either way, Wednesday its back to work.

WOD 3/1/10

Monday Monday Monday!!! Well lets say its not easy to wake up early on a Monday even after sleeping practically all day Sunday. Either way, this WOD was a great way to start the week with my awesome partner Vero. I must say I feel my running improving a little bit. I don't feel so far behind which is good. Running is not my strong suit. Some people are all excited when we have to run but I dread it. Either way we finished this WOD in awesome time which I didnt record. I really need to make an effort to record them more often.


ATTENTION ATTENTION!!!! This is big news! I was told my swings are getting "VIOLENT" and that I'll have my kipping pullup soon! Hells yes!!! Almost at that goal! :D

WOD

"Hurry Up!"

Teams of two. Partner #1 will run 300 meters while partner #2 is performing AMRAP of movement. Once partner # 1 is complete they will tag out teammate and switch duties. Once both teammates have performed that movement partner # 1 will now run 300 meters again while partner #2 performs amrap of different movement. Once partner #1 is complete with run they will tag out with teammate and switch duties. This will continue until both teammate have perform all movements and completed runs.

DB Push Press M35 W20
Box Jumps
Pull ups

Its been a longggg time!!!!

I havent posted this week and I feel really bad about it. I have a couple of reasons for writing this blog but one of the main reasons is to keep me dedicated and keep me on track. I can happily report that I've stayed dedicated to xfit and although my rest days have been moved around this week I've definitely been committed to going.

My box changed my regularly scheduled time from 7pm to 7:30pm. Although its really close to home I don't like getting home and eating so late so I made the executive decision to switch to 6:30am WODs which are also awesome because the metered parking is free at that time! So far I find it easy to wake up in the morning and its definitely much easier to get ready for work after that. But this is just week 1 so I'm hoping I keep the morning motivation up. :)

I've been dragging with preparing my diet though so I'm going to do it today! Thats it! No excuses! I resolved to have it ready by the end of the month and I WILL!

This week I WODed Tues/Wed/Thur and I plan on going Friday and Saturday too! I'm starting my 3rd month now and I can honestly say that this has probably been the most consistent I've ever been with a workout routine and I'm very happy about it!

WOD 2/17/10

Don't know why but today I am sooooo tired. Feel like I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Either way gots to keep goin. Can't wait to WOD it out tonight and get to sleep early.

Working on planning my meals and getting my schedule down. I've been exploring different options but I'm not positively sure which direction I'm heading in. Option 1 is hiring a dietician, option 2 is portioning my meals by the zone while keeping everything low GI. So far I dont have an option 3 but if anyone has any suggestions I'd be really happy to hear you out.
