Tuesday

So yesterday was Back squats 3x5 @175, Bench 3x5@125 and deads 1 set of 5 at 245. I'm excited for Friday as the 245 felt great. I'm looking for a new PR :) Tuesday was Helen and I wasn't feeling it so much. 11:52 give or take with the 24k bell. Only what a minute and a half slower then my PR. CRAP. I know my running sucks. I'm heading back to the gym tonight for a CFE. I'll be needing to do more of these from now on. Food has been pretty clean the last 2 days. I've decided I need to cut out the protein bars and PB. Although today I already had some natural PB. I'll get there.

Friday

Miami Dolphins Draft Party

Couldn't really sleep last night my mind was tossing. I found out yesterday I'm competing in the Dirty South Regional. All of the thoughts on what I need to do over the next month came into play. I know deep down what I need to do to be ready, I've been there. Right now I feel like I am in a good place mentally so I am prepared for the intense workouts that are about to come my way. I have a good feeling about my transition over the next 4.5 weeks! Keep me in your thoughts people!!
Up with Chad at 3:30 and just decided to get up and go in a little early. Nice big crew this morning at 5am!

Thursday

This mornings wod was Hammers L/R 12, 9 KBS @ 24k, 6 burpee pull ups. 15min AMRAP. I am a wussy when it comes to cardio these days. I was dying on the burpee pull ups. Got 5 rounds and was happy not to pass out. I really need to get my conditioning back! Thought about fasting today but at about 9:15am had a serious headache and thought...hmmm is it really worth it. I decided it wasn't.

It's time...

It's time to get back to blogging and keeping myself in check. I've let myself be free from the counting and measuring for a while now. I'm ready to come back and stay on track. Not be overly obsessive, but keep things in perspective for a while. I have figured out what makes me happy and I am trying to get back there. I have started Rip's program and I truly enjoy it. Not sure how long I'll be on it, but for now, this is where I need to be. Plus I get to eat a boat load of protein :) Who doesn't love that??
