Thursday

Day off from work...Yeah! Got up to cover the 7am class. Elaine and Suzi rocked it out..Great job girls. Started lifting by 8am. Called Jenn G to come in but she was sleeping and could be mad...we will soon find out!! Squat, bench and deads. Hit my numbers and left it at that. No assistance work today. I'm a little nervous about Fran tomorrow I'm not going to lie. My pull ups and thrusters have not been the best lately. On the good side... it'll be over before I know it. Fast and sweet...I love those kind of workouts. So Chad landed safe in NY. They are driving to the game on Friday so he gets much needed time with his family:) I already miss him!!

Wednesday

I was going to be an easy day of stretching...I slept in and got to the gym at 6:30 a.m. Somehow Brent shamed me into doing a scaled version of the DWOD. Coming from the man that just yesterday told me I needed to rest more. Well of course I excepted the challenge and away we went. 500m row, 25 burpees, 500m. It only took about 6 min and it actually was a good warm up for some mobility stretching. The hubby leaves today for his little Men's get away weekend with golf and football. Go Irish! I've got the house to myself and the remote control....what!! Not like I'll have a ton of time I've got to work Saturday night and on Sunday. I'm going to miss him though...it's just me and the dog!

Tuesday

So I didn't make the run last night. Got home from work, sarah and paul stopped by, took a nap with Chad and then it was storm city. I'm thinking that 2 CFE's a week is enough anyway. I'm not running in the race I am just trying to get my lungs back....no need to kill myself. Plus Brent keeps saying I don't rest enough. I know 70's big. I get it. More is not better. This morning was 20 min AMRAP of 7rds bear, 400m run. It took me the first 2 rounds just to get my joints moving and to full depth on my front squat. Man I am getting old. Looking forward to my rest day with Mobility Stretching:)

1/2 Cliff Bar
Chicken, peach, veggies with hummus, nuts, coffee

Labor Day--Off to work:)

It's a holiday...but not in my world! Got my lifting in and some chins but didn't have time to do my CFE this morning with the crew:( I'm going to have to convince Jenn to do it with me tonight...I would hate to talk myself out of it. Must run! I am committed to kicking the Pita chips and fudge pops this week. I'm going to hang onto the hummus for a few more days since I just love it so. I do have a paleo recipe for it though, hmmm now I just have to find it.

It's the weekend!

Got about 9 hours of sleep, which was amazing! It's been a long time coming:) Did my CFE this morning 20min TT. Tempo was not happening. I was dying just to complete it. It was great to see Kate and Jane..I miss those two. Headed off to yoga for some stretching and then back home. Chad is sooo excited that football is back on. He left work early to watch the Irish game. Men! Anyway I haven't been very dilligent with the paleo lifestyle. I'm getting there but I have been addicted to Pita chips, hummus, fudge pops, and cliff bars. I'm feeling better and I have been trying to wein off the crappy food slowly. This week I'm going to try and ditch the pita chips and fudge pops. I only have 3 weeks until FGB and I really want my 300+!!!

Thur/Friday

Lifting Thursday-Squats, Bench, Deads. Met up with some girls for a CFE 20 on 10 off- 16 rounds. Wow short and sweet. Decided to do FGB this am. It started off just being 2 rounds but I decided that I needed to push myself and test out 3. Under 300 :( But that's ok. I know what I need to do to reach my goal at the end of the month. I'm sure I'll be feeling it this weekend!! I am excited to have my first weekend off in a long time where I actually get to relax. Working on the Holiday but such is life. I mean yesterday I got paid to sail around and go shelling. I'll take it:)
Saw this on someone's Facebook page. I thought I would share, as I say part of this mantra before I lift...toooo cool!!

Fear Exists
Fear Pushes you to push harder
to become greater
to achieve more
so when fear is present...
Recognize it and then ATTACK IT...
My fear is FEARLESS.

I am stronger because the fear of failure is almost like settling for 2nd place...
I am WHAT I AM... I am STRENGTH, POWER, and INTENSITY

Mobility WOD day:)

So Wednesdays have become my day off but I have turned them into Mobility stretching days. This morning I did 3 WODs from the site. A little calf action, front of the hip and shoulders. God damn I am tight. These wod's will be good for me as I have never really been flexible, especially in my shoulders from all of that volleyball crap. I never stretched as I should have growing up and now I'm paying the piper.
