New Year's Eve

Wanted to get up this morning and go for a walk or something but my morning did not end up the way I thought. I didn't get out of bed until 9:30 a.m. b/c I have to work super late tonight with my NYE party at work. My phone was ringing off the hook which is a good thing about our condo so I was running around trying to get ready super fast and show the condo to 2 people. Keep your fingures crossed we might have a renter! Anyhow so no exercise today for me again. Must do something tomorrow!

B-fast-Omelet with peppers, salsa, veggies with hummus and some nuts
Lunch-Salad-lots of veggies, nuts, 1/2 apple, 1/2 zone bar
hungry or maybe stressed about tonight-1/2 zone bar a few nuts

Tuesday-Back in the saddle!

So I didn't end up working out anymore over vacation and my diet went to crap the 2nd leg of the trip. Got on the scale this am which I probably shouldn't of, but I did. And yes I gained a few extra pounds! But that's ok I am looking for a fresh start in 2009 and to get on track! Today was my first day back and boy could I tell! WOD was Run 400m, row 400m, 30 box jumps, 30 Pull ups, 30 Thursters at 65lbs, row 500m, 30 burpees with tire, 30 SDLHP, run 400m. It was hard but I'm glad I got up and went to class. It was good to see the 6am crew with a few additions. Great work everyone.

5:30am-a few nuts
7:45am-Eggs, Apple, nuts
Rest of the day went like this..:
Lunch Salad, orange, eggs, nuts
Salad, nuts, egg
Apple and 1/2 with pb, Salad, nuts, chicken

Did well but became weak when I got home from work. Ended up eating too much pb and apple slices. Overall good day though. Hoping I feel better by the end of the week!

Merry Christmas!

Yeah it's here! Just wanted to hop on for a second and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I haven't been too bad with the diet not perfect either but it's all good. No more workouts thus far hoping to get one more in before I head back to FL. I've been able to catch up on some much needed sleep and family time. I just love being home for Christmas, couldn't imagine it any other way. Love you guys! See you back in FL soon!!

Saturday

Hit the gym this am for a few power cleans. Not very happy with the weight but that's ok. Did a bunch of warm up sets. 95, 105,115,125 back down to 95 for 2 sets of 5. Only cleared 125. Not sure if it was the mirror. Kind of funny watching myself do the lifts instead of feeling it. I was trying to concentrate on not jumping too soon and actaully watching the bar go up my legs. Anyway finished with a 2 mile run on the treadmill. Off to chad's house so I won't be bloggin for a bit. Hope everyone had fun last night at the x-mas party!!

9:30am-Eggs, eggplant, apple, nuts and some salsa

Friday

Got up and went to the local gym it was crowed!! Here's my crazy WOD- 3500m on the rower, 15 of biking (if that's what you want to call it, more like just zoning out), then came the fun.....KBS and push ups- 21-18-15-12-9-6-3. Fun fun. The largest KB they had was a 45lb it was kind of nice to use that weight again! We are suppose to get 8-10 inches of snow today. Holy Crap people that's a lot of snow. Chad went home to go help plow so he'll be working all day and night i'm sure. I'm at my parents for one more night then off to chad's. I usually do good while I'm at my parents house b/c they try and help me eat good. His house is another story. I'll be packin' some goodies to take with me:)

Egg whites, salsa, eggplant, fruit, nuts
Salmon, Salad, nuts, fruit
nuts, Zoned Lazana Yummy! My parents enjoyed it too!
Cheese stick, apple, pb
a few more nuts!

Thursday

Caught the 5am class yesterday and S came to join me. She of course killed the WOD. The Double unders gave me a lot of trouble. What the heck?? Need to practice. Anyhow wod was 3 min row for calories...Angie- 50-40-30-20-10 DU and sit ups. After I took off the calories I was around 11 or 12 min.

Ate a solid b-fast before I hopped on the plane- eggs, fruit, nuts
Apple, nuts, cheese stick, 1/2 zone bar-gave the other 1/2 to chaddy-Thanks S you saved me!!
Salad, tuna, nuts, fruit
Ck,eggplant, salad, little broccoli, nuts
Veggies, nuts, ck
Nuts

So did pretty well. We went to my grandma's for her birthday of course there was cake. They gave me a piece b/c they are Italian and are always trying to feed you. I took it and played with it but decided not to eat it :) Drank 2 cups of coffee instead. I did however go a little overboard on the nuts. My parents are really into those yummy salted mixed nuts that I can not put away. So my fat intake for the day was pretty darn high!

Wednesday!

Up at 5am in such a good mood. Could it be b/c it's my last day of work before I leave for 10 days or just the fact that I'm going home??? I think it's the combination!! So excited to hit upstate NY for a change of weather and family. I'm going to freeze b/c I always do but I love to see snow at Christmas. Talked to my dad on the way into work and they are suppose to get 2 inches tonight!! WOD was 60 air squats, 400m run, 25 push press--3 rounds for time. 80 lbs on the push press about killed me! It was short and sweet. Shout out to S for bumpin up the weight and doing great!

5am-Salmon, nuts
7:30am-Salmon, blackberries, a few left over veggies, nuts
12:30pm-So we had an employee luncheon...They ordered appetizers--I ate 2 shrimp (jumbo) Cantaloupe with brochette, mozzarella with tomato and pesto, Chicken salad which I took most of it home. Wasn't exactly what I was going for but I was happy with my choices--No dessert :)

Long Tuesday

Yesterday was a long day for me. I ended up getting home at 10pm from work totally exhusted! I did well staying in the zone all day but when I got home ate 1/2 apple with pb, veggies and hummus, cheese and a few nuts. Don't think I needed the extra snacks but I had to stay up and finish some last minute things around the house before I could go to bed!

Monday

Met Con monday. Run 800m, row 800m for time 3 rounds rest 4 minutes between rounds. 6:35, 6:47, 6:47 really pumped about my 3 times being so close. It was a tough WOD.

8am-eggs, greens, blackberries, veggies, hummus, salsa
12:30pm-Boca burger, stir Fry a few shrimp, nuts
3:30pm-Mixed veggies, hummus, chicken, nuts
6pm-Salmon, salad, broccoli, asparagus, 1/2 apple nuts

Weekend

Worked on Saturday and did well all day unti around 10pm. Ended up having a glass of wine at the restaurant at work and then caught up with Chad at a house party. Lots of vodka and about 5 hours later we hit denny's for some sober me up food. Needless to say it wasn't good and I ate wayyy too much. Sunday did well getting back in the zone although I ate little bits of Chad's Chinese food. Overall good day.

Friday

So glad it 's Friday. Just have two more days of work until rest...yeah! WOD was 25 DL, 400 M run, 50 pull ups, 50 KBS, 50 Burpees, 400m Run, 25 DL. Man I was doing so well with my pull ups until around 48 or 49 when my palm busted open with blood everywhere! I thought I was going to lose my cookies for a minute. The blisters are pretty nasty I know I need to figure something out. But my pull ups are soooo much better without tape.

Zone all day-
Dinner-Out to outback for a few cocktails, salad, streak, veggies and mushrooms. Didn't do too bad.

I can tell I've been doing well with my diet the last few days, I'm starting to feel much better.

Thursday

So I haven't been checking the WOD's lately and I need to! It was a weight lifting day and I totally didn't bring my new shoes! Push Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1. Got up to 125lbs this morning. I wasn't happy with my lifts today. I don't have the correct form down and it's keeping me from going up in weight. I've got to work on opening up my hips and getting under the bar.

5am-Fish, nuts
7:30am-Salmon, Orange, Nuts-Big piece of Salmon I didn't measure this morning!
Stayed in the zone today did well but need to cut back on the gum chewing.

Wednesday

WOD was MG this am. Row 500m, 50 push ups, 50 rack rows, run 400m, 50 GHD sit ups, 50 box jumps at 24, row 500. I thought my push ups were quality but the rack rows kicked my butt. Overall happy with the workout. Today was a fun day for me out on a fishing trip with my residents. Gosh do I miss being out on the water, I forgot how relaxing it is. Caught lots of little fish today nothing to write home about, but what a great day of work!

5am-Chicken, nuts
7:30am-Salmon, raspberries, blackberries, nuts
12:30pm-Chicken, Salad, nuts, Celery, few slices of orange
4pm-Mixed veggies, hummus, chicken, x-tra nuts
6pm-Fresh fish :), soup, salad, nuts

ReCap!

So I haven't been good about getting on and bloggin' b/c I've been working so freakin' much. I was totally tired this weekend and ended up eating like crap Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I worked all weekend and haven't had a full day off since Thanksgiving weekend. I should know better that when I'm tired and cranky I don't eat well, but some things are just so hard to break. Old habits are so easy to fall back into! When I'm tired I crave everything sugar and carb. When I don't get my rest and stress sky rockets; everything I've been working so hard to change goes out the window. Everyone struggles with things in life and mine for sure is my diet :(

Friday

Got home late last night from work and thought I would be able to sleep for days. Too bad that's not what happened. I tossed and turned up at 3:00 and every 1/2 hour, ended up going to the gym with Chad this am. Didn't push myself that's for sure, kind of just went through the motions. Lifted bench press, tri-ceps and some shoulder work. Ended with 5 minutes on the rower. Not sure I really even broke a sweat but glad I did something!

6:30am-Made breakfast for Chad and I-How nice!
Omelet, blackberries raspberries, nuts, a few veggies
10am-Hungry-Chicken, nuts a few veggies

Thursday

Woke up and didn't want to get up. But decided I needed to! Long day ahead of me as I will be at work until very late. Didn't grab a snack before WOD which I should've. Was feeling full from last night. WOD was heavy deadlifts. New PR today at 285, very excited. I am starting to second guess my abilities as the weight is going up and up. The numbers are a little intimidating for me. I need to block it out and just focus on the lift. But all went well and I pulled the weight I set out to get today. NICE! Shout out to Sarah for breaking her PR as well...225 nice girl!

7:30am-B-fast at home for once! Egg beater omelet, veggies, black berries and raspberries, nuts
12:30pm-Salad, chicken, raspberries, some extra veggies

Wednesday

I think coach is trying to kill me this week with all of the triples! WOD was 750m row, 70 sit ups, 60 WBS at 20lbs, 50 jumping pull ups, 40 kbs at 24k, 30 burpees. I didn't feel as though I had the drive this morning that I usually do. Normally I can push myself through it and today I found myself breaking more than normal. I'm probably just overly tired and not up to my normal craziness. I tried to run a mile after class but ended up walking part of it. I could feel my calf coming on, not sure if the weather has something to do with it. But I listened and ended up walking most of the way back.

5am-chicken, nuts
7:30-eggs, mixed fruit, nuts
12:45-Salad, veggies, mixed fruit, nuts
Zone snack
Dinner-Salmon, veggies, hummus, salad
2 apples with PB-

I know I was tired and weak. I could not satisfy my hunger and I know it's b/c I am tired and cranky. I ended up having wayyyy tooo much pb even after the apples were eatin'!

Tuesday

Still really tired and trying to catch up on much needed sleep. WOD was AMRAP 20 minutes starting with 10 squats, 200m run, 10 push ups--up by 10 each round on the BW movements. I completed 4 rounds and got to 29 push ups before time expired. Not too bad....push ups still a weakness. Ended with 25 pull ups, 1 mile run and 200 sit ups.

5am-Chicken, nuts
7:30am-eggs, apple, nuts
12:30pm-Huge salad, eggplant, raspberries, nuts

Monday

Up to see another Triple workout! 3 rounds 1.5 minutes each station, 1.5 min. break between stations. Rower for calories, box jumps, clean into a thruster at 85lbs. Scored a 159 which was great. I actaully did the best on the rower which was a surprise since I started with that. I remember feeling aweful after the workout...like why did I do this to my body!!!

Entire day was zone friendly--Can't remember what all I ate but it was good.

Recap!

So I was doing really good saying no and being strong for the holiday weekend...until Saturday and Sunday came along. It's just so easy to get sucked back into old habits I hate it!! I tend to do this too...when there is a change in the schedule I am good for the first few days and then fall into old ways. Drank, ate a lot, birthday cake, ice cream you name it and felt like poop when the weekend was over. But the good news is Monday is a new day and the key is to get back on the wagon. So I will!

Friday--Black Friday

Up at 4am to catch a few good deals :) I love it when my family is in town..my mom is all about the good deals too! Picked up all of my x-mas presents from my parents, got chad a few things for his b-day and we headed home by 6:15am. Checked out the WOD this morning-OUCH is all i can say. Shout out to everyone who showed up! 25 cnj, 800m run, 50 pull ups, 100 push ups, 150 squats, 800m run, 25 cnj. I went with 95lbs on the cnj. I am so happy with my pull ups and my hands didn't even rip today...yeah! I was actually getting my chest to the bar--finally!

4:30am-Turkey, veggies, nuts
9:45am-Omelet, cheese, left over zucchini and squash with a little cheese, orange, nuts--Had a lot of protein this morning!

Headed out to captiva for the day in a few minutes and then off on a sunset cruise, should be a good day!

Happy Turkey Day!

It's thanksgiving and the whole family is in town. I woke up when chad left for work and couldn't go back to sleep!! Out of bed by 7am, how disappointing.

Omelet, orange, veggies, nuts
12pm-2 blk veggies, chicken and nuts
Turkey dinner-I made the cauliflower mashed potatoes for myself...not to shabby! Did end up eating a little too much and had sugar free ice cream with pb, raspberries and a few nuts....SO good! Oh yeah and course almost a whole bottle of wine--how could I forget!!
Over all it was a great day with the family!

Wednesday

Only got about 5 hours of sleep last night if that. So tired as I got up today. WOD was 1000m row, 50 snatches at 65lbs, 30 burpees. Just under 16 minutes which was all I could handle. The snatches starting catching up with me big time at the end. Ran 2 miles with S post wod and did a little biking with liz as well. First time running in a while felt good for the first 1.5 miles and then I could feel the calf. Not bad though, it was just telling me it was still there. Can't wait to get back to where I was with the running. Went to the Doc today. MRI results are good, the knee is normal-YEAH. But the frustrating part is that he doesn't have a good explanation why my calf is not relaxing. He's thinking I have a pinched nerve that keeps flaring up. I'm going for a test next week...ahhhh. It's more annoying then anything, it just won't go completely away! He told me to keep running and doing what I'm doing, so i'm gonna until I can't.

no snack today...
8am-chicken speedies(my parents brought them in from NY!), orange, nuts
11:30am-Hungry-Mixed veggies, speedies, nuts, hummus
3pm-Cheese, orange, nuts
snacking on nuts
Out to dinner-House salad, Filet not sure how many ounces, spinach, zucchini-I'm sure they smothered in butter and oil I could tast it. Just happy I didn't eat any bread or mozzella sticks-yeah!
Snack later on- 1/2 orange, chicken, nuts
I have been eating a lot of nuts the last few days, and they are the salted kind. I think that's why. Man do I miss the salted nuts. It's been hard to keep with my zone while my parents are here. But i'm doing the best I can. Went out shopping for the Paleo pumpkin pie stuff and ended up getting frustrated b/c I couldn't find everything I needed! So I can't even make the pie :( I decided to pick up sugar free ice cream and some raspberries for my dessert.

Tuesday

WOD-400m run, 40 KTE, suicides, 40 box jumps at 24in, Run 400m, 40 hypers, suicides, 4 rope climbs, run 400m...something like that. It was good and I finally did the running today. It's been a while and I could tell on my breathing! So I tried the big girl rope after all was said and done and I think I'm going to have to start climbing that from now on. Sarah was right I've gotta step it up :) Next time girl I will!

5am-Chicken, nuts
8:30am-b-fast with the parents! omelet with peppers and broccoli, salsa, orange, avocado
Stayed in the zone all day. Overate at dinner and ended up having 2 bananas with PB tonight. I haven't had a banana in a long time I think that's why I ended up eating almost 2 of them. Oh well it was good and I stayed away from the ice cream that everyone else was eating!

Monday

Slept in until 10:30am totally missed my morning crew on the WOD. Ended up hitting the gym at 4pm and did push press 5-5-5-5-5. Ended up getting 120lbs. Was so close on the 125 but just couldn't get there. Went for a 1/2 hour walk and called it a day. The parents flew in today and are here for 10 days. YEAH! Always good to see family especially around the holidays. The sis flys in on Wed for the weekend. Can't remember exactly what time I ate but did good today!

Chicken, peppers, mixed veggies, avocado
Cheese, peppers, nuts
extra nuts peppers
chicken, salad, nuts, eggplant and salsa

The Weekend

Saturday-FGB championship-5 rounds of craziness. Everyone that showed up did a great job. I totally kept a goal in my head for each round and pretty much accomplished it. I really wanted to finish strong and I think I can say I did that. Very happy with Saturday's performance. Did good with food until we went over to a friends house for football. A few becks, hamburgers, bread with dip, veggies, and a few apples with PB.
Sunday-UP early for a long day of work! Ended up drinking and not eating so good again. Hot dogs, cookies, beer, chips you know the usual tailgate foods. Got home and was hungry but now thinking about it I think I was just tired. Ended up having chocolate chip cookies with Ice cream.

TGIF

Woke up late today, well actually just didn't want to get out of bed. I rowed 1500m for time. 5:45 was my time, which came out to be a 1:55 split. Not too shabby. Went for a mile walk with Sarah after, thanks girl. I am very sore all over from this weeks wod's. Going to have to hop in the hot tub tonight or something-tomorrow's gonna suck!

8:30am-Eggs, 3 bl fruit salad, nuts

Thursday

So I wasn't going to have a snack last night but the PB kept calling my name. I think that jar was evil because I couldn't put it down all week! So I did have another apple with pb before I went to bed ahhhh. Up early this am for a workout. I was the only one for the 5am crew. It's a whole new ball game when you are alone I tell ya. Tough. I decided that I've been doing men's weight on the wod's all week so what the heck. I used 95lbs for AMRAP 20 minutes 10 power hang cleans, 20 push ups. 5 reps short of 7 rounds but that's ok. My cleans felt good and strong so I was happy with that. Went to get my MRI this morning at Health Park. No real news until next week but the tech did say he saw fluid around my knee cap. Strange? Who knows what's going on in there. I'm feeling good and the calf is settled down, so hopefully it's nothing to worry about.

9am-Eggs, black berries, raspberries, mixed veggies ,nuts
12:30pm-Snapper, salad, veggies, dressing, nuts

5am-egg, nuts
8am-eggs , blackberries, raspberries, nuts

Went out to lunch at stir fray the new restaurant at coconut point. It was wonderful but cooked in probably a lot of fatty oils. I just had chicken with veggies but i'm sure it wasn't the best for me. Zone snack
Dinner-Salad with veggies, nuts, hamburger, apple with PB-Over in blocks but I was just craving the apple with pb--no snack tonight!

Tuesday

Little chilly this week, which makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning :) WOD was 800m row, 50 thrusters at 43lbs, 800m row, 50 WBS with 20 lbs, 800m row. The second 800m row kicked my butt. Gosh I would much rather of ran but one more week of being good on the calf and hopefully i'll be good to go. After class 15 min on the row and a few I mean a few pull ups. I don't feel as strong with my weighted pull-ups as before, but it could've been I was tired. Not sure.

5am-Salmon, nuts
8:30am-Egg beaters, 2b raspberries, 1b blackberries, nuts

Monday

Slept in again this morning! Hit the gym in the afternoon, I don't know how people do it at that time. Tabata pull ups, push ups, sit ups, air squats. Did much better on the pull ups but my push ups seemed to suffer. Was within one or two on the sit ups and squats. Overall beat my score by 1 and I'll take it and run!

Stayed in the zone can't remember exactly what I ate but it was all good. Work is crazy and I don't have a lot of time to blog right now. It's going to be even worse during season! I packed all of my meals for the entire week, I've got to start doing that again on Sundays. It really helps me not have to think durning the week, just grab n go.

Friday

This mornings WOD was squats 5-5-5-5-5. Started with 165, 170, 165, 165, 165. Happy on the 170 didn't want to push the leg it's still pretty tight. Went to PT this morning and the swelling is down, sweet...however she thinks I have fluid behind the knee that should be looked at. So I'm going to have to schedule an MRI and find out what the big picture here is. I'm hoping it's nothing to worry about and if that's the case they can drain it and I'll be good to go.

WOD was 1150M row, 75 sit ups, 50 hypers, 25 KTE, 1150M row. The second row was a killer! Just over 16 min for the WOD. S and I for extra work did a few pistols, and some wall sits.. My goal with my calf is to be pain free by next Saturday which is our championship 5 rounds of FGB. I don't even care how I do I just want to be feeling good going in.

So this morning I woke up and my calf felt the best it had in weeks. Started the WOD and bam it snapped up again. I am just so frustrated with the entire situation and am sick of it being an issue. I need to learn just to take time off, heal and then get back in action. Somethings never change.

So this morning had my own WOD- 250M row, 10 DL@ 165lbs. 8 rounds plus one row in 20:08 seconds. I was so close with my plus 1 on that last row and finished strong.

So this is me with Dark hair on halloween!!

Feeling much better today as I woke up. Still have a few days of super clean eating to get the extra weight off but one day at a time. My calf has started to loosen up from the massage, ultra sound and muscle stim. It'll probably take a few more days to be back 100%. But there is light at the end of the tunnel! WOD was 750m row, 50 hypers, 100ft walking lunges, 5 rope climbs, 100ft walking lunges, 50 burpees, 750m row. 22:02 wow that was a good one. I am feeling much better about the rope climbs these days. I would love to try the one with no knots but am a little scared of falling!! Go Sarah for getting up and down that 5 times!

5am-Chicken, nuts
7:30-4 eggs, apple, nuts
12:15pm-Eggplant, chicken, salad, x-tra veggies, nuts, FF dressing
4pm-Veggies with dressing, nuts, chicken
7pm-Salmon, a little kielbasa, mixed veggies, nuts, blackberries, hummus

Went out after work and voted...no lines how nice.

Monday

Back at it, not feeling so good as I got up this morning. WOD was The Bear- 7 sets-for 5 rounds up in weight each round.-Power clean, front squat, push press, back squat, push press. Started with 65, 70, 75, 80, max at 95lbs. Really wanted that 95 and powered through. It was a good test of the mind not to set the bar down. The last 2 sets at 95 really had me telling myself I could do it, and somehow I did. Tuff!!

7:45am-Eggs, veggies, blackberries, hummus
11:30-Fish, veggies, nuts
2pm-veggies, hummus ,nuts
6:30pm-Chicken, eggplant with salsa, mixed veggies with hummus, a few blackberries, nuts

Nice 40 minute bike ride and then a little foot detox to clean out the system with sarah. Boy did my foot detox get out some shit...actaully it was nasty! Probably need another one this week. Went to the doc today about the calf. I have a really bad stain and need to let the darn thing heal. Got some muscle stim, ultrasound and a little massage. No running and am on a dosepack for the next few days.

The Weekend

Saturday was Crossfit total and my goal going in was 600 lbs between 2 lifts, squats, shoulder press and deadlift. I missed my goal by 30 lbs which was pretty disappointing. My squat wasn't there and really bummed me out. I know I can do that weight my mind wasn't there for me. Overall it's an outstanding total for the first time. I absolutly have something to work towards now!!! This weekend I totally trashed my body. Drinking, eating and just not taking care of myself. I feel like shit right now and have to detox my body of all of the crap I put in it.

Happy Halloween!

Had a deep tissue massage last night and noticed that my ankle was starting to swell! At about 8:30 it was very noticeable. I slept with my foot elevated and it seemed to make the swelling go down. My flippin calf is still a problem and I'm debating on going to the Doctor on Monday. This is the leg that I fractured my tibula with maybe 3 years ago now. I reference that b/c it starts in my high calf almost behind the knee and down. The outside of my knee tingles when I lay down and stretch my leg towards my head. Any ideas guys of what is going on? My hamstring and calf tend to get tight easily but this has been 2 weeks of serious tightness into pain. I'm at the point of it being an issue and just wanting it to go away. AHHH. It's putting a cramp on my workouts. I rowed for 800m, biked for 15 minutes and rowed for 15 minutes-a little over 4500m rowing for my met-con Friday.

5am-Chicken, nuts
7:30am-eggs, apple, nuts
12:15pm-Salmon, squash, tomato, cucumber, nuts, 1/2 apple

Thursday

Another cold morning. I thought it was going to warm up today, but not so much! WOD was 30 Power Cleans @85 lbs, 45 box jumps at 20 inch, 60 Pull ups. Stayed with the prescribed weight today b/c of total on Saturday. I know I could've bumped it up but I don't want to be too sore for Saturday. My calf is still an issue still. It's pretty much running the course of my leg from behind. All tight back there. Anyhow I was really excited with my pull ups today. I went at it with no tape and was able to hold onto the bar and bang a lot more reps out at once. Although I have a good size gouge in my hand it was worth it. They felt better, looked better and overall much higher over the bar. FINALLY. Ran 2 miles with S after the WOD. Shout out to her for killin the WOD this AM.

5am-Salmon, nuts
7:30-4 eggs, huge apple, nuts
12:15pm-Stuffed tomatoes, some mixed veggies, some grapes and raspberries, nuts
3:30pm-Veggies, tuna, nuts
7pm-fish, squash, veggies with hummus, grapes
9pm-ck, grapes n raspberries, nuts

Wednesday

Oh man I did not want to get out of bed this morning! Hooked it up with like 4 layers of clothing before I headed to the gym. WOD was one minute on the minute for 30 minutes! 6 burpees, 15 KSW at 24kl, 50 singles. My burpees were outstanding in my book today, felt stronger than I have on those in a while, the swings started catching up to me at the end. But 150 of them at 24kl will do that to you! Shout out to my big dogs this morning way to step it up girls! Ran 2 miles with Sarah after the WOD felt good to run again. Going to hold onto that feeling and do it more.

5:15am-Chicken and nuts
7:30-3 eggs, 1/2 apple, nuts
9am-other egg and the rest of my apple, 3 nuts-Although my apple was HUGE probably the size of 2 normal ones :)
1pm-Stuffed Tomatoes, a few veggies, apple, nuts
4pm-Stir fry with chicken
7pm-Salmon, salad, veggies with hummus, grapes

So I've decided that I'm going to start being zone again. I find myself not being as happy as I was with my diet and grumpy at times. I have noticed I am thinking about eating too much and kind of obsessing at times. My cheats are really overboard and I feel out of control. To me that means my mind and body are trying to tell me something. It's partly my fault for not cooking Paleo and trying new things but I think for me right now more zone less paleo is the way to go.

Tuesday

What's up NY State weather!! Wow it was like waking up at home this morning. WOD was row 1,000M, 7 rounds of 7 snatches, 7 OH Squats @ 53lbs, run 800M. 17:51 was my time.

I was so pissed, almost made it through the work out without it bothering me!! AHHH. Anyhow I feel like I need to start sucking it up and moving onto the 20lb ball for the wallballs.

Ouch but I am hoping this will keep me motivated for 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure it will as I hate burpees. Great morning of cardio and hangin out with my buddies, as I popped in at Sarah's for a bit.

Saturday

Got a good night's sleep last night, awesome! Spartan 300 this am was a killer. 25 Pull-ups, 50 deadlifts, 50 push ups, 50 box jumps 24 box, 50 wipers, 25 pull ups. It took me a little over 32 minutes. I'm happy with my work today. The first round of pull-ups went well, 2nd round struggled to get a bunch in a row but stuck it out and finished RXD. My L calf is still a mess. I even had a massage yesterday. I'm going to try and ice on and off all day. I have hurt this same muscle a few times and it does take a while to go away. Gotta start taking care of my body and stretching more before and after workouts. It was so nice to see the turn out this morning and of course have Sarah back in action. Nice work Crossfit Ft.Myers!!!

So I just noticed I'm 100 posts in....WOW. Time sure does fly. This morning was just practice for our Spartan 300 tomorrow morning.

Didn't break on the squats which really helped my time. Pads of the hands still a little sore from the pull ups yesterday. Going to be really strict today as I feel like crap.

Monday

WOD-Clean and Jerk 5-5-5-5-5. Started with 65bs and got up to 115. Really happy with my progress with my clean but overhead I am still struggling. My L shoulder is just not as strong or it actually hurts going overhead with a lot of weight. Not sure if I need to warm up longer with my shoulders or what. Towards the end it was getting better/looser but it did not feel good with the Jerk. Extra work was 2500M row-9:55 was my time. Got in 2miles of my extra running for the week, only 2 more to go!

I went down to VeronaWalk today to take my old volunteer assistant out for b-fast. It was so nice to see everyone again. I miss my old residents.

Sunday

Did not want to get out of bed this morning. Debating on going for a run or just being lazy today. Finally at 9:30 I decided that I would feel much better after a run. Went about 3 miles, thought my calf muscles were going to cramp up. They are sooo stinkin' tight from the combination of the run on Friday and wearing heals at work yesterday. WOW.

Fast Friday!

This mornings WOD was the 5k run. It's been a long time since I've clocked it in crossfit but I have been practicing my runs with Sarah. I had a PB today getting it done in 24:01. I am so happy with my performance as I have come a long way with running. Extra work was 50 overhead squats. Did 2 sets of 10 with the woman's bar, 3 sets of 10 with the regular, and 6 singles with plates. Focused on engaging all of my shoulder and back muscles, this seemed to help a great deal with my balance. I wanted to weigh in this am to see where I'm at. Still at 157lbs, darn it! For some reason I was good with that, I feel as though I have trimmed down even though the scale isn't my friend today.

5am-piece of a burger, nuts
8am-4 eggs, peaches, nuts
12:30pm-Salad, burger, nuts, peach yummy!
3:30pm-Peach, burger, nuts

Thursday

WOD was AMRAP 15 minutes: 10 power Snatches @ 53lbs, 10 Burpees. 70 snatches and 64 burpees later I caught my breath. Form on the snatches felt better but I still want to focus on getting the bar a little closer to my body. Extra work was 10 TGU's on each side with a 16kilo Kettle bell. The body is banged up this week, not getting enough sleep at night is not helping the situation either.

Wednesday!

So I'm pretty sore all over. I've decided that I'm not working hard enough if nothings sore. I can't remember the last time I wasn't sore to tell you the truth...Gotta love Crossfit! WOD was 50 Double Unders, 400M Run, 100ft. Walking Lunges, 400M Run, 60 Wallball Shots 14lbs, 400M run, 100ft walking lunges, 400M run, 50 Double unders. Time was 16:16. Sarah smoked me on the double unders, nice work girl! I've got to get that extra jump out and I'll be right where I need to on those suckers. 10 TGU's on each side for extra work. 5 with the bar 5 w/o. The bar is a killer and very challenging.

12:30pm-Salad, salmon, peach, walnuts and pecans-
4pm-Salad, chicken, nuts

Employee birthday today pizza and cake. Showed up with my own and stayed in the zone! But I heard it for not trying the birthday cake. It's all good people I can stand up to peer pressure and am proud of myself for not caving.

Tuesday

Worked late last night and feeling it today. WOD was 750M row, 5 rounds of 12 deadlifts, 8 hang power cleans, 4 push jerks @ 83lbs. Right around 12:30 minutes. The power cleans got to me as I couldn't hold my grip. Still need to work on fast elbows, I tend to get lazy arms as I get tired. Ended up with a little extra work of 50 weighted lunges on each leg. I have been eating 4 eggs at B-fast lately and I like it. In my head I would rather be over in protein than fat...is that ok? hmmm I'll have to look into it.

5am-London Broil, almonds
7:30am-2 huge peaches probably 2.5, 4 eggs, walnuts
12:15p.m.-Peach, huge salad, walnuts, lean ground beef
4:30pm-Egg, cauliflower, walnuts
6:30pm-Chicken, salad, veggies, walnuts and pecans
9pm-Grapes, salmon, mixed nuts

I think I pulled a muscle in my R arm between my bicep-forearm area. Ouch. It was on the last set of cleans I dropped the bar b/c I couldn't hold on and bam that's when I must of pulled something in there. You never realize how much you use that muscle until it hurts.

Monday

Today kicked my butt! Angie 100 pull ups, 100 push ups, 100 GHD sit ups, 100 air squats. I almost had the Rxd but couldn't hold it together on the pull ups, had to resort to jumping. Although I feel as though they are getting better, YEAH! Walked a little 5k route with Sarah to measure a good track after class. Working late tonight so had some time to play in the morning.

5am-Chicken, nuts
8:30am-4 eggs, 2 peaches, nuts
12:30pm-Chicken, salad, apple, walnuts

8:45-London Broil slice, nuts
11am-Egg beaters, eggplant, red pepper, salsa, 1/2 apple, nuts

Ok so you know when I don't blog it's usually because I've fallen off the wagon and just don't want to post it. Yeah that's how I feel better about it. I've got to come clean and move on. Saturday and Sunday I had Ice cream and cookies. Not sure what came over me, but I got it in my head and then it was over. Sometimes I let words or other people interfere with my goals and I self destruct or become weak. I'm going to try to focus and reach my goal of a 600 at crossfit total. Little goals every month or so I hope will help me focus on the big picture.

Friday

WOD was back squats 3-3-3-3-3-3. I started with a few warm up sets and then started at 135lbs I got up to 195 today which was amazing for me. I feel as though I am not confident with my back squat so it is one of my weakest events. I still need to work on drive up out of the squat with the hips. My hip flexors are weak so it's tough to get that initial pop in the beginning for me. With that being said I have improved a great deal with my squats and was very happy with my performance today. Extra work was 2 mile run, 25 stability ball pass throughs and a few handstand push ups.

5am-Chicken and nuts
7:30am-Eggs, chicken, apple, almonds
10am-strawberries and grapes, nuts
12:30pm-Salad, 2 tomatoes with cheese sticks, 2 fruit sticks, 3 samples of different ck selections and a slice of ham. Strawberries and grapes with nuts for dessert

7-8:30-veggies with a little cheese, 1 tortilla chip, spinach and mushroom salad, lobster tail, 4 cubes of salmon, strawberry and banana slices, 1 rice crispy square, 1 brownie square, 1 bite of cheese cake with chocolate, 2 ultras

It was hard to stay in the zone today as I was in a meeting all day and had to go with the food that was provided. My husband surprised me with dinner at the melting pot which is my favorite restaurant. I was happy with staying in control and just taking samples of what I would normally eat a lot of. I still enjoyed a beautiful meal but didn't indulge in the goodies, NICE!

Thursday

Definitely feeling tired from the week as my legs felt heavy on the runs today. WOD was 400M run 30 KTE, 30 Mountain Climbers, 800M run, 30 sit ups GHD, 30 Mountain Climbers, 800M run, 30 hypers, 30 Mountain Climbers, 400M run. Under 17 min, not to shabby. Knees to Elbows slowed me down but I find myself not getting so frustrated with my weaknesses. I think b/c I have a plan and a goal I am in a good place going forward! Extra work-50 rack rows. So pumped I had 25 more KTE but since we had those on the WOD I can scratch that for the week, yeah.

5am-Chicken, nuts
7:30- eggs, apple, nuts
12:15-Salad with veggies, broccoli, fish, nuts

So my long weekend is over and of course it went by way too fast! Yesterday was nice I got a lot of stuff done around the house! WOD this morning was Power Squat Clean thruster, burpees 21-15-9 for time. 10:15? Something crazy like that. My quads were burning! My L shoulder was feeling it. I'm going to have to try and do some band work on it or something. I've noticed it becoming weaker. X-Tra work today was 50 handstand push ups with assistance from the tires-not comfortable on the wall just yet, 25 KTE.

Monday

Slept pretty hard last night which was great. Mornings wod kicked my butt-Row 250m, 500m, 750m, 1000m for time all out sprint. 2-3 minute rest between each session. Don't remember my exact times but I know I faded. Wasn't happy with my 1,000m thought I feel out of it for a bit. I know I could've beat my previous time if I stayed focused. Not bad over all though. So I am starting my 30 day regiment on focusing on my weaknesses.
x-tra work: 50 OHS with only 33lbs
200 sit ups on the ball
2-1 minute planks

Recovery Sunday

Last night was a lot of fun hangin out with some great friends. I totally drank myself silly and didn't realize it until the way home. We ended up stopping for a few more drinks and a little 24 hours McDonald's on the way home. Needless to say I didn't get out of bed until 12 today and enjoyed every minute of my much needed sleep. I got up and told Chad, see this is why I don't drink anymore :) My goal for the next few month's is to really focus on my nutrition and be accountable for what I "binge" on. Maybe staying as strict as possible during the week and allowing myself to be zone on the weekends will help me out. I still don't have my diet under control and if I try to be "too" good I end up feeling guilty for the littlest cheat and then it snowballs from there. Let's try that for a few weeks and see how I do.

Game Plan-
Paleo during the week-Mon-Fri every meal
Sat & Sun-Zone/Paleo-Hopefully I can knock this back to just Sunday-but let's see
Crossfit 5 days a week
Set goals each week with coach on improving weaknesses and do allotted reps of each exercise by the end of the week
No 1 day binges
Re-Cap in 30 days-October 29

If I can stick to my goals I should see results in 30 days, no excuses! Now that I've posted it, I've got to hold myself accountable.....

Fight Gone Bad Saturday

Holy shizzzznick!! Fight gone bad today was awesome. We could not have asked for better weather here in Florida. The Temp. was just right and it was cloudy. Perfect conditions to kill yourself for a great cause! I have had anxiety all week about this workout. I knew I set the bar really high for myself on the first go at it and this time I really wanted to beat my score. My goal going in today was a 320 and I ended up with a 330!! So flippin' happy. I felt great the first round and just went balls to the wall, next time I might want to pace myself just a tad b/c it for sure caught up to me. Overall though really proud of myself and my performance. Got to send my love to my girl Sarah who totally killed it today. I am soooo f'in proud of her commitment to her diet and crossfit. She is seeing amazing results from being just so disciplined. She beat her score today by like 60 some points and hit a 318 today which is just nutty. YOU GO GIRL!! Love working out with you!!!
Today all day is a total cheat as I am celebrating so no food posting will occur :) YEAH!!

Friday

So it's the day before the big event and I'm nervous, excited and anxious all at the same time. I really want to beat my old score and have a great showing tomorrow. I'm going to try and focus on positive thoughts and do my best tomorrow. Headed to the gym for a walk and stretch with Sarah at 7am. It was kind of nice to just lay in bed for a bit this am.

Have a welcome party for me at work tonight. Going to stay clean, going to stay clean. If I keep telling myself that, I think it might just work :) So pretty happy with how the evening turned out. Stayed away from the goodies! Was starving while I was packing up the left overs so I snacked a bit, same with dinner. Good evening over all though!

Wednesday!

Ok it's been a little crazy in my life but to recap-Tuesday night-Mental meltdown. Not sure what happened but chad and I went a little nutty with cookies and ice cream after I was already way over blocks for the day. I know it was crazy.Woke up Wednesday and thought I was going to die at the WOD but ended up doing pretty well. I was surprised that my body didn't give out with all of the sugar I took in the night before. Shocking actually. WOD was Rower 500m, 50 WBS 16lbs, 50 hypers, 50 double unders, 50 KBS 16K, row 250M 25 WBS, 25 hypers, 25 double unders, 25 KBS. Breakfast was normal, out to lunch scallops, salad, out for an after noon meeting, side salad with chicken, peach, nuts. Dinner-left over zone lasagna, huge fruit salad with PB. So that's 2 days in a row of major cheats. Not good. Not sure if I am having anxiety attacks for FBG on Saturday or what. But once my mind starts going I just want to eat. YUCK.

Tuesday

This morning was a killer. I don't think there was a dry spot on my t-shirt or pair of shorts!! WOD was 25 minutes AMRAP- Sprint, walking lunges, sprint, 25 sit ups, 10 burpees. 8 rounds-It was all good until the burpees starting catching up with me. Thank god Sarah kept keeping me motivated to finish!!

5am-Chicken, peach, nuts
7:15am-Eggs, apple, nuts
12pm-Salad, celery, fish, peach, nuts-Over on gum quota already today!
3pm-Peach, egg, nuts
6:30pm-Starving-Strawberries, peach, salad, salmon, walnuts with grapes.


I'm pretty tired from this mornings workout. Hungry all day I'm sure it's because I was tired. So I picked up some walnuts at costco and it might have been a mistake! They are so good with grapes I couldn't stop eating them. Even after I was full. Maybe 2 or 3 extra blocks of carbs so no snack for me today. YIKES!!

Monday

Feeling a little full after the weekend but it's all good. Today is my day off but still up early to go workout. WOD was power cleans 1-1-1-1-1-1. Pretty happy with the amount of weight, the last rep felt good, just need to work on bringing my arms around faster. Wanted to give Sarah a little shout out for her performance today. She stuck with it and reached her goal of 115lbs, so PROUD of her strength and determination.

5am-chicken, peach, nuts
8:30am-chicken, peaches, veggies, nuts

Sunday

Up late, laid in bed until 8:30-9:00am, just didn't want to get up and clean!! Hosted an awesome baby shower with lots of great food. Mostly all zone friendly, benefits of being the hostess. Couldn't even tell you how many blocks I ate but I know it was a lot. Again all good food but no measuring today.

Saturday

Up this morning at 7:15am finally got 8 hours of sleep, felt like I still need more but hey not to shabby. Went for a 5k run with Sarah and it felt good. We ran it in about 24 min not sure if it was a true 5 k though. At work today but off Sunday and Monday!

I was at work today and didn't prep my meals adhead of time. Had to grab and go out of the fridge not the best choices but not bad.

Friday!

This morning was a 2.5 mile run. Not really happy with my time as it was 21:53? I felt like I was running at a good clip but hell I guess not! Maybe b/c I haven't been running everyday like before or the double WOD yesterday not sure but would like to do better next time for sure!

So I am counting today as a major cheat. Dinner was excellent, ate too much but stayed in control which is key. I need to have a clean weekend to be where I want to come Monday. Will try and be super strick tomorrow. I need to start measuring portions again, have not been doing that and feel like I"m eating more than normal. It's all good still very happy with my diet.

Thursday

It took me over 2 min. just to get my last set of 15. Not a happy camper on this one, need to practice holding the weight overhead.

Monday

So this morning got up at 5am and my body was sore all over. I ate my snack hoping that would help and it didn't. I laid back down only for a few minutes but it ended up being another 3.5 hours of sleep! My body was trying to tell me something and I listened. It's probably for the best as I will be at work LATE LATE tonight. No WOD for me today. Sorry 6am crew for ditching you all. I know you rocked it out without me though.

WOD was heavy lifting Shoulder Press 1-1-1-1-1-1. I was happy that it was upper body b/c my quads are still lead weights. PB at 95lbs.

Sunday

Out of the zone last night and today. Too much wine last night but it was a much needed to say the least. Just fixed my meals for the week so we should be good to go. Weekends always go too fast.

Saturday

Up early this morning as Chad headed to work. Went for a run with Sarah same track as Monday. However today I was up so early that I ate a one block snack.

Killer! 8.5 rounds complete. Focued on flat back- feel like I did pretty well with that.

Thursday

So decided that today I would have a much better attitude at work! One day at a time. YEAH!
WOD was a killer, but I've got to say I just love those 1 min. on workouts, I know call me crazy. I can get in that zone and stay mentally strong when it's short and quick. Almost accomplished my goal which was hitting 50 + reps on every round (consistency). The last round I missed it by ONE!!!

Life is just full of ups sand downs. I can't wait for mine to go back up people!!! It's coming soon I can feel it :)

Tuesday-Fresh Start!

So today is my first day on the new job and of course I couldn't sleep last night. I was up at 4am and just could not go back to sleep. So got up and ate rather early this morning!

Feeling great and energized after my run with Sarah. I was totally dying in the humidity and heat but what a great feeling when I was done.

I'm excited for him to get back in the swing. When he works out he tends to eat better, which will ultimately help me stay on track as well.

Saturday

So yesterday was my last day at VeronaWalk. I am just coming to the realization that for the last month I have been an emotional roller coaster. I've been really stressed, not sleeping and just not mentally together. This morning after our WOD I seriously had a emotional breakdown. I was upset that my body gave out right at the end and that I couldn't stop cramping on the double unders. I didn't get the RXD which really made me depressed and disappointed. I just wasn't myself and didn't perform the way I wanted. When I got home, I just had a good cry. I know I sound crazy, but I think that is what I needed. I feel better now and am really ready to turn the page in my life. I'm scared, I'm nervous but I know I can get through it. From today on I am going to focus on my diet (cause that always suffers when I'm stressed) and getting enough rest. Everything else will fall into place. Ahhhhhhhhh.

Got to give a shout out to my girl Sarah who kicked butt on the filthy fifty and to Liz for totally stepping up her game. Nice job girls, you both rock!!

Thursday!

Got some good sleep last night yeah! WOD was killer and I'm still recovering. My hands and shoulders are shot and my thumbs are still tingly! I think it's b/c I've had some shoulder issues with volleyball and the blood flow is just not up to par. Something to remember.......
AMRAP- 100ft. walking lunges with 33lbs bar, 7 burpees, 1 rope climb. 5 rounds plus 1 done.

5:10am- Chicken, strawberries, almonds
7:30am-3 eggs, strawberries, peach, 1/2 apple, almonds
12:15pm-Spinach salad with chicken-Out to lunch with a few residents
5pm-Strawberries, chicken, almonds
7pm-Eggplant, chicken, salad, grapes

So the tingling has now gone away but my thumb still doesn't feel right. I know I have circulation issues! Shoulders are fine but I'm sure my muscles will be sore. One more day at VeronaWalk and then next week I start my new job!!! So excited except I am a little nervous.....They are having a huge going away party tomorrow after work for me. Of course I have a killer WOD Saturday morning that I'm not missing- Filthy Fifty. I'll do my best to stay in line! YIKES!!

So i've been out of the loop for a little over a week now on vacation. I did really good my first 3 days and then it was all down hill after that. Didn't get in any workouts after Friday a few good walks and that's about it. Back in FL late last night and to Crossfit this morning. WOD- 1500M row, 40-30-20-10 KBS 16kl and weighted sit-ups. 14:00 minutes not too shabby for the first day back.

Up early for a run-a little over 3 miles. I do not miss the hills around here, killer. Took me longer then normal but I got it done. Did a little blueberry pickin' with my friend and now me and the parents are headed kayaking!

Thursday

Slept in until 8am, no alarm ahhhh how sweet it is to be on vacation! Going to try and catch a walk in with mom and dad and then hopefully hit the gym! Made it to the gym WOD-Deadlifts- 6 sets of 5. Started with 135 worked up to 215lbs. Would've like to had someone watching my form but I did my best. Had to break up the last few sets of 5. Went for an hour hike around Taughannock Park with my girl from high school it was great. Spent some time at the park swimming in the lake (OH MY GOD how cold!)and then headed home for dinner. What a beautiful day! That's Taughannock Park we hiked the rim trail all the way around. It's 5 minutes from my house and the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi. (not the largest just the highest!)

Waited too long to eat today feel really tired and out of it! Only had a snack and then lunch. I'm sure that's what it is. Headed out with a few girls tonight so we'll see what happens!
