round and round
BUSY week! Busy summer actually… I have a week of WODs to catch up on logging, and some other stuff on the go as well. As always, nutrition is on my mind. Well I guess more accurately, food is on my mind like pretty much all the time and I still want to be smaller again. Those thoughts seem at war within my head pretty much every day. I’m working on setting up a nutrition consult kind of thing with Amanda’s intro coach at CFC. That’s her thing and I’m really interested to hear her spin on things. From when we first chatted, she told me to keep a detailed food diary so myfitnesspal and I have become reacquainted after quite a long break. Old things come back in style, right? Anyways… my kryptonite is peanut butter and Quest bars (still, I know). BUT… all in I’m getting like 900-1,100 calories a day! So am I not eating enough? Or just not the right shtuff? PB is really calorie dense, so…? I don’t know. Obviously. Anyways, looking forward to getting a new opinion and hopefully finding something that helps me fit into clothes as I would like again.
Thurs. July 28:
Every 30 seconds for 25:00 Minutes:
1- Squat Clean and Jerk, Approx 70-80% of your 1RM
#100!! (woot!!)
Yes, that’s 50 reps. 1 at a time… and 30 seconds goes by SO fast!! I remember getting to 20 and thinking “yeah! 20 done!” immediately followed by “oh crap! 30 left!” By the time we reached 40, it got tougher to stand up out of the squat clean, and my jerks became mini jerks with a strict press to lock the bar out but I made it!! Went in to the box with a game plan of hopefully attempting 90-95lbs and crushed 100 😀 The happy dance that played out in my head was pretty awesome.
Wed. July 27:
3 WODs in 25 hours. 😐 Hungry and my quads are a bit unimpressed, so opted for a light run this morning to flush things out. Run felt great 🙂 could have just kept going if I didn’t have to get to work!
Tues. July 26: 6am CFD

Heavy 9, add weight, heavy 6, add weight…heavy 3, then try to use the same weight on the way back down

ONLY person to show up for the 7:30am class meant a private session with Coach Jamar 🙂 Sometimes, not appreciated… but on a heavy day it’s totally cool! I was torn when it came to the set of 3 if I could put another pair of 10lb plates on. Jamar asked “what are you thinking?” and when I told him that he said “well, you’ve said it now you have to ;)” It was awesome! Kicked myself a little later on for not going a little heavier!

I wish I remembered all the details for this one but life has been so busy I’ve slacked on recording stuff regularly 😦 I DO know we did pretty awesome! Over 50 reps squat cleans, I think 65 shoulder to overhead and 120+ deadlifts. This being said, 85lbs got HARD. Especially for the shoulder to overhead, but stuck with it 🙂 Sit down before you read this… I LOVED the burpee portion 🙂 Or maybe I’m the one who should sit down. Or lay down till that feeling goes away?
