Tuesday WOD

today we had to attempt to do the following:

30 reps body weight + half deadlifts....

was not going to happen.. I don't want to risk hurting my back... so I started with 65 lbs, and was finished 30 like in 2 minutes.... so our instructor was like you need more weight... so we added 10 more, and did 5 more reps.. so then I felt I could do 85 lbs...so I did 5 reps.. next time we do deadlifts, I am going to start at 85 lbs...

Monday WOD

Today I ran out of the house w/out my workout clothes. so when Roman went to bed, I needed to go to the ATM. Instead of hopping in my car, I decided to run/jog... it took me about 40 minues (including 5 min warm up, 5 min cool down walk)... I didn't stop, only to make a deposit at the ATM. my bank website says its 2.1 miles from my house... I had to wait for someone to finish their transaction, so I might have been done sooner.....

Weekend update

So this Saturday morning, I took out Roman in the jogging stroller and went for a jog... well more of a walk/jog. the stroller is way heavy and then you add Roman (32lbs) and it is so much harder to jog... and it doesn't help that he is like "run mamí, run mamí". my goal for the end of the year, is to run my 3 miles without stopping while pushing him and the stroller...

my diet was ok except I had 2 slice of pizza....:(

sunday was a bust, I worked for about 5 hours, so I was exhausted with the combination of transitioning Roman to a toddler bed... I don't know what I was thinking...

very interesting article...

10 Reasons You're Not Losing That Weight

I think what really impacts me is the lack of quality sleep.....

Tuesday's WOD

Yoli and I did the following outside (usually we do our WOD in a conference room):

3 rounds of:

400 M run (appropriate measure)
200 jump ropes
50 squats......

actually had to shower today....

eating ok... staying in the zone....

WOD

I ate something really bad last night.. I always make bad choices if I don't have an afternoon snack... I ate fries and half a chicken fried steak!!!

But hopefully my crossfit WOD cancelled the meal..

check it out!

3 rounds of

500m Row

21 box jumps

12 deadlifts.. 55 lbs*

we are supposed to lift our weight, but that would be way too much for me

Zach my instructor said it should 125 for me, I told him he was awesome for thinking that was my weight.. I lifted the lowest of my class. I hurt my back months ago, and wanted to start low.. next time I will do 65-70 lbs...

Weekend Update

This weekend was a bust... between spending time with Roman and Eric and having to go to work 4-5 hours each day I didn't have the energy/will to exercise....

oh well, does watching the olympics count?

TGIF

Friday's WOD at work....

after warming up, my co-worker and I did the following

4 rounds of

20 jump lunges
10 burpees
20 knee to elbows
25 squats

we only get 30 minutes of wellness time, so we have to be short/sweet

WOD- Back Squats

today's WOD

Back squats
5-5-5-5-5 increasing every round

I did 75?/90/95/105/110 (last one was intense).....

I don't mind these at all! must be my peasant stock... I think the last time I did this (months ago) my max was 95

Rest day!

its a rest day for exercise, but not for my food choices!

I am glad because I am so sore from yesterday's crossfit WOD.. but I think I finally getting over my sugar/flour cravings.. I remember I tried this before getting pregnant with Roman.. and it took a week to get through the withdrawal of no bad sugar/flour... so I remember if I can make it another few days I will be ok.. that way I can get to my goal of 125 lbs faster...then I can have whatever I want in moderation with exercise... I weighed myself today and have lost 2 lbs already! I will not reveal my starting weight... its really bad!

I know planks are really good for toning up your core section, but I hate them! check out the picture below.. can you spot me?

I am going to be sore!

Today's Crossfit Workout of the Day was intense! I used a women's barbell (35 lbs) and had to stop a couple of times to rest each round of lunges.. have to work on my push ups! my goal next time is to power thru! I have no problem doing squats...

5 Rds for time: 22.04 minutes...

30 Meter Overhead Barbell Lunges
15 Push-ups
30 Meter Overhead Barbell Lunges
25 Squats

I am doing well on day 2 of my focused zone approach to eating. I am not calling it a diet. for the past two days I haven't eaten any flour or sweets (except fruit)....

running, running

Today I ran a 5k... back in March I walked/ran a 5 K in 47 minutes... but this August I ran it straight thru w/out stopping in 34 minutes... It was a all women 5K , and what motivated me was my music... I was running to "let me clear my throat" .... I love the line, "are you all ready to quit" live audience replies "hell no"... oh and I paid attention to my diet all week (zoned all week)... check out some pics Eric took... Roman and Eric were my motivation and I didn't want the other mommies running while pushing their strollers to smoke me!



oh, yeah I need to invest in some running gear. I got a blister on one of my feet, and I am in dire need of some running shorts...
