2nd 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.
Intense day, for sure. Mainly because it was a memorial Hero WOD for 9/11.. I really enjoy these, because there’s more too it than just my battling through the workout. They mean more to me, and it honestly gives me something to think about and focus on while I’m knocking out the rounds. We did…
DetailsSnatch Day! I even PRed my snatch!!! I went from 105 to 110lbs something I certainly wasn’t expecting to do, especially with the babying of my shoulder that I’ve been doing lately.. hahahaaa so awesome. Our workout was all snatches.. 10 min EMOM 1 power snatch, 1 squat snatch at 80% of your 1RM so…
DetailsI did some easy stretching on Sunday.. and then my 50 GHD situps.. it’s crazy now.. I’m not even the slightest bit sore from GHD sit ups anymore.. wtf. That only took 2 weeks for it to just, not affect me. Here I was, worried about rhabdo the first week.. sigh. I need to step…
