Supertotal Saturday

Sat. May 13 2017:

The PR bell was ringing non-STOP today!  So many incredible athletes putting up some outstanding numbers!  Another chance to test out how I can perform while maintaining the Wahls Paleo Plus diet, and how my body recovers as well.  I went into this not really setting a whole lot of expectations for myself but with hopes to succeeded with my back squat and possibly my deadlift.  Back squat was a victory for sure!  20lb/10% PR!  WOOT!  Then deadlift the wheels fell off.  I couldn’t even get my previous PR off the ground.  Ah well… matched my previous PRs for snatch and clean and jerk (C&J I PR’d earlier this week) and PR’d my bench.  Good day!  Also worked on my double unders which rounded out a fun 3 hour morning at the box. That was followed by a whole LOT of hungry! I mean, my supertotal was 880lbs! 😀

Speaking of Wahls Protocol, I’m wrapping up my 2nd week today.  I don’t really have a whole lot to report except that my mood and energy have been a lot better.  I had a rough week last week with the nerve pain, but my new found double unders addiction probably had a lot to do with that.  I worked out a lot too and was muscle sore, but I think proportionately so (no better/no worse) and my strength didn’t falter at ALL with the lower protein intake.  Long story short, this will be all about progress.  I’m still figuring out how to build a routine with this.  Some things I feel I’m doing really well with while others I wonder if I’m missing the whole point.  I kinda had hopes that I would start to shed a little weight or an inch or two by now, but it’s the opposite.  My clothes are tighter I think and the scale hasn’t budged.  Arg.  But I’ll get there!  Making beef heart chili today.  😮 Can’t be worse than liver!

Victory! :)

Life is messy right now. Stress level is pretty much off the charts thanks to Henrys, but that’s hopefully nearing the end. Sport Chek I’m so very grateful I kept in my back pocket for all these years cause I was only “unemployed” (ish) for a little more than 2 weeks before walking into a new full time role. Curiously enough, right back to the same store I was full time in before I first took the job at Henrys… but anyways, I’m happy to be working 🙂 On the hunt for what I want to be when I grow up still, but not bored and losing my mind. Having a job to do also put an end to my excessive WODing :p it was good therapy when I needed it, but as a friend mentioned “just think… soon you’ll need physio and you’ll be able to make friends there too!” Ha-ha.

Anyways… I’ve gone back to logging my WODs on paper cause I suck at this format lately and I got my girl into that habit too so I’m actually accountable there. However – I SMASHED my previous Grace PR and I’m pretty excited so that was worth sharing! I  recorded an Rx Grace time for the first time this year in May 9:53.  Yesterday I killed that one! 4:01 😀 and Grace wasn’t even technically a part of the WOD!
