I had kind of abandoned this, but I found a couple pictures that were a good angle that showed some of my progress. This stuff motivates me to keep going, especially when I’m not seeing changes elsewhere, this just reminds me of all the hard work I’ve put into this. Crazy difference from the beginning…
DetailsHero WODs are always tough, as they’re in memory of a fallen soldier.. I have to admit, I was a little wary of this one, because it was a 20 min AMRAP. Usually, we do 10, 12, or 15 min AMRAPs, but 20 min is uncommon. AND it was mostly upper body stuff which are…
DetailsFront Squat Periodization week 2. This shit’s HARD! Basically, you do several reps at various percentages of your 1RM, which will increase your 1RM when the time comes to do your 1RM again. 🙂 I always have to find boys to work with on this stuff, because none of the girls are front squatting anything…
Details2nd day of Fall and it’s been spectacular out.. Not cool or anything, but nice, tolerable warm temps with beautiful breezes. I LOVE IT. Today, Jaclyn and I headed to Open Gym to get a workout in. Something easy.. 3 rounds of:10 box jumps10 GHD sit ups400m run I had already done 20 GHD situps…
DetailsI nailed it! I had 3 of my BCAA drinks today.. 2 before my workout throughout the day, and one after. I felt INCREDIBLE. Felt so much more normal and energetic. Like my muscles were actually responding. Jesus Christ, I’m addicted to Branched Chain Amino Acids… green apple flavor. Anyway, today was great. It was…
DetailsI did my first official WOD yesterday since the competition, and I was DRAGGING ASS. I have determined what the problem is for this week’s lethargy… not eating enough during the day, or not enough proteins (BCAAs!!!) Our typical meal times are late morning breakfast (around 10a) and then we don’t eat again til dinner…
DetailsI have been tired, lethargic, drained, and sluggish in the days following my first competition. Not sure why, but I’ve been reassured that 3 WODs in one day will do that to you… I’ve never pushed myself harder or faster so much in one day, so I suppose there’s some truth to it. I went…
DetailsWeee!! I was so nervous.. but my very first crossfit competition day was a success!! I was so fortunate to have Dave and my awesome friend Elaine there with me to support me, as well! Dave, me and Elaine watching the 2nd WOD. Getting nervouuusss! A handful of us from Crossfit Total Control were there…
DetailsAnother day where I said I wasn’t going to go in, I was just going to take it easy and give my body a break.. yeah that didn’t happen.. Why? IT WAS FRONT SQUAT DAY!!! Time to PR again!!! I also said I wasn’t going to go for a PR, but then what’s the point,…
DetailsI love what this says about women who do Crossfit. 🙂 The confidence boost alone in myself is worth it.. not to mention all the amazing physical changes, as well.
