Monday

I must say yesterday was probably the best football game I have been to down in Florida. It was perfect football weather. You can't beat a few beers, peanuts and cheering on your team in jeans, a hoodie and gloves! Although it was a 14.5 hour day of work it went by kind of fast :) I slept in this morning and made it to the gym by 9am. What a great crew in there this morning and welcome back to Alex! WOD was back squats-set new 5rm. 5sets looked like this 175, 180, 185 new PR, 180, 180. Back tonight for bench and a CFE wod. Bench-Speed work- 10 sets of 3 @ 95lbs every 30 sec. CFE- 1 min on, 1 min off for 10 rounds on the rower-Must get 3,000m or burpee pull ups for every 5 meters under. That would be 41 burpee pull ups for me.

IF today!!!

Saturday-Happy BIrthday Hip Kitty!!!

I felt like I could've slept until noon this morning. The alarm went off at 7:15 and I reset it for 8:15, but really wanted to make it never :) Got to the gym for 20:10 wod which sucked ass. AMRAP 20:10 of 20 d/u's, 1- 75lb thrusters, 20 push ups, 10 sdhp at 75lbs. 4 rounds and 18 d/u's. I've got to get my d/u's they are killing me. Seriously I will be practicing with Buddy Lee every week from now on!! Met Jenn and Kary for a 10 mile bike ride, which was awesome. It was so good to outside on such a beautiful day!! Thanks girls, good call :) Shout out to hip kitty for turning one year older today. Girl you are awesome!!

Food has been pretty clean the last 2 days. However i have gone to town a few apples and all of my almond butter in like 24 hours. Such is life. Atleast it wasn't a 24 pack of beer!

Done with Helen done with 2009!

It's New Year's Eve day!! So excited to kiss 2009 goodbye, although not looking forward to work tonight :( I've been super lazy all day and I'm having a hard time getting motivated to get ready! This morning joined Sarah at 6am for Helen. I was a little nervous since my pullups haven't been so wonderful. But Sarah convinced me to try the new bar. So I did and to my surprise I beat my old time by almost a minute! 3 rounds- 400m run, 21 kbs at 24k, 12 pull ups. 10:15 NICE! Thanks girl. Played a little on the rings and a few handstand holds before me called it a morning. Shout out to Jim for joining us and doing great on the WOD.

Tuesday and it's F'in Cold!

I think I brought the cold weather back home with me...yikes~ This morning I did some front squats 5 sets of 3. It's been a long time since I've done these and it showed. I noticed today big time that when I start to struggle I go forward on my squats. I'll need to practice front squats more often! Got up to 135 for a set of 3. Then bench 90% of 1 RM 5 sets of 2. 130lbs across the board. No misses..nice. Back tonight to catch a CFE wod with Sarah. Let's hope it warms up a bit :)

5am-Chicken, nuts
8am-Protein shake, pepper, nuts, lots of coffee to stay warm!!
12pm- Turkey Burger, pepper, salad, avocado, hot tea
Clean dinner
a couple of handfuls of peanuts

I'm back!

It's Monday and I'm back in Florida!! Tried to get up this morning and make it to the gym but decided I was tooo tired from all of the traveling and festivities. I only missed one full day worth of workouts so I was happy about that. Did pretty well on the diet until the last 3 days. But it was the Holidays so it's all good. It's back to the grind and I'm looking forward to the many changes that 2010 will bring. 2009 was just a hard year for a lot of people, so I'm not sad to see it go! I'll be at the gym tonight getting caught up.
WOD's-Deadlifts set a new 3 rep max-265bs! Then 7 rounds of 7-PC-thrusters, pull ups at 73lbs then 750 row. That sucked! Under 17. I was just happy to be finished! Tomorrow it's back to the morning routine so poor Sarah doesn't have to work out by herself anymore! What's up 6am???

Christmas Eve!!

I can't believe it's Christmas Eve!! I'm heading to breakfast with my mom's side of the family. I always miss Christmas dinner with them b/c we are usually at Chad's Parents house. It's the back and forth game here in NY. Christmas Eve with my dad's family, Christmas morning with my parents, Christmas Day with Chad's. Run, Run, Run. However, I am thankful we are able to see both sides of the family when we come home! I've done a little snatch practice, cfe on the rower, squats, 21-15-9 of burpee dumbbell thrusters and pull ups. Gotta run..MERRY CHRISTMAS
