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?

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...

click on the link below to see what I looked like when I did the texas round up 5K....
