BODY FAT DUNK STATS

I got dunked today:

I knew the results weren't going to be great and that I would still be fat but I want something to compare to and something to work towards, plus it was an incredible deal!

WEIGHT  233.2

BODY FAT 46.2%

To be honest I was just happy to not be 50% or more fat!  Plus I've lost 3 lbs in the last few weeks!! I'll do a normal weigh on my scale at home next month as planned.

I do have something to compare my numbers with, back in May of this year I went to a weight loss doctor just to see if they could help me (wow the cost was outrageous!) and they did a body fat test but on a scale where they send an eletric current through your body to get some stats here are those stats

May 15, 12

WEIGHT 259

BODY FAT 52%

Not to shabby from just a few months ago!  So now I'd like to lose 45 lbs before I get tested again which should put me at about 27% body fat.  My final goal is to be at about 15% (I'd love to be in the "athletic" range for body fat percentage. . .but for now I'll baby step my way there!



What's that on my finger you ask. . . .

Here I am wearing my wedding ring. . .out and about on a regular basis, this was the best birthday present I could have given myself my birthday was the first day in over 2 years that I was able to  wear my wedding ring without it cutting off my circulation or causing me pain.  Happy birthday to me and THANK YOU PALEO!!!  My finger doesn't feel so naked anymore oh and now all those hot guys that were always trying to hit on me will know I'm a taken woman!!

WOD Wednesday Sept 26th

  5 rounds for time

50 double unders I did 150 singles

15 elbows to knee I did butt lifts or high toes on the ground

40 meters Heavy farmer carry

I was able to rush from work to make the 6:30 am class today, it was great to get the workout in before I went to bed I felt like I had so much time when I woke up!

Look back tomorrow when I post my body fat test results, I'm getting dunked tomorrow to find out my body fat percentage. . .SCARY!  This will give me a better idea of where I'm at and where I want to be!

WOD TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 25th

Shoulder Press

1-10-1-15-1-20

1- maximum press weight 55#

10- 80-90% 45#

15- 60-70% 38#

20- 50-60% 33#

And for your enjoyment here are the many faces of Shoulder presses. . . keep in mind that it doesn't look like there are weights on the bar. . .some of the there are not. . .but I'm on my last round of 20. . . 

 Getting myself psyched out to press the 55# max for the 3rd time

 So much easier without those extra 20 lbs of weights on it!

 Until about the 7th press then it gets harder

 and harder

 and harder

 and rest 

 last  few failed attempt at the 55# did it 3 times but after all those reps I was done.

In addition to our presses we warmed up with a "FRAN" workout 21-15-9 thrusters and pull ups but all with the PVC pipes as fast as we could.  And ended our workout with 2 minutes jump rope and 2 minutes plank.  I love it when sweat drips off my face and make a puddle on the floor beneath me!! LOVE IT!!!

It's official I AM AWESOME

CROSS FIT FAMOUS!!

FIRST WORKOUT AS A 30 YEAR OLD

I have my 30th birthday over the weekend!! WAHOO! Bring it on!!!  We had some friends over to watch a back yard movie on our huge projection screen and ate a bunch of paleo friendly food. . .yum yum!  I even got a mango with a candle in it. . .picture coming soon.

It had been awhile since I made it to the MOM's workout class so I packed up my small monster and we headed on over there this morning. . .


21-18-15-12-9-6-3

Back squat 22 lbskettle bell dead lift 16kg
16:23 min.

It was hard work today especially when Owen (my small 2 year old monster)  tried to sit on the box I was squating on and I almost sat on him and almost dropped my bar bell on him. . .then when we were doing some ab workout after wards he though it would be fun to jump on my belly as I was doing hallow holds. . .not fun at all.  Oh the joys of working out with a 2 year old.  All the other moms had tiny babies sleeping away in their car seats while my son tried to shove goldfish crackers in the babies mouths and throw balls at their heads. . .soon their children will be monsters like mine!!

Owen enjoying his non-paleo cupcake on his birthday. .

 Owen has been giving me the stink eye a lot lately

 Our happy picking group that picked with us.

 Everyone exhausted from a day of picking

The monsters birthday was last week. . .instead of working out we took him ot the U-pick farm. . .I don't know if he really enjoyed it more be we got stocked for veggies in the house now. . .pictures to come soon!!

WOD Tuesday September 18th

WARM UP
1 minute each

Jump rope singles
mountain climbers
pull throughs
plank 30 sec/ superman 30 sec.

Wow that was a workout in its self.

WORKOUT

10-8-6-4-2

Clean and Jerk  45#
Muscle ups (don't have those muscle ups yet but neither did pretty much the rest of the class)
2 ring rows and 2 leg assisted ring dips = 1 muscle up.

I totally felt like a wuss today trying to attempt the "pretend" muscle ups everyone else was doing. . .but by the end of the workout everyone looks like a wuss, but we are not wusses we are AWESOME and we are STRONG!!

Can I just say I LOVE JERKS I know it took me awhile to get the movement down.  My elements trainer spent just about one whole session trying to teach me the coordination for jerks but now that I got it I LOVE them. Something about jumping that bar up over your head and feeling super strong even if it is just 45# for now!  LOVE IT!!


I have been doing other workout, just a lazy blogger and some workouts have not been my favorite so I don't blog them.  I'll try and be a better blogger and get more photos of my workouts.  Also some of my classes have had tons of people in them so it's been a bit crazy.

BIG NEWS!!!

I can do a double under with the jump rope. . .I can only do one at a time but I'll get them linked soon enough!!!

PALEO! DAY 18

I have been a PALEO eater for 18 day now.  No cheating, no sugar, no grains, no dairy, no processed foods, no legumes.

I am loving it!  I might be converted for life with occasional cheat meals every once in awhile.

My family and I went to a U-pick farm on Monday and here's what we harvested. . .beets, potatoes, corn, leeks, green beans, tomatoes, chili peppers, bell peppers, egg plant, carrots, squash, pumpkin, onions, celery, turnips. . .I'm sure I'm missing something. . .it's a lot of food and we haven't made a dent in it although we spent most of the day Tuesday, cutting dicing packaging and freezing. . .we are picking up a chest freezer tomorrow so we can fit it all so it doesn't go to waste. . .I'm set for the winter!

I never feel bloated, or stuffed, I never have heart burn or indigestion, my clothes fit better and I eat a lot of meat including BACON and I just can't seem to get enough avocados. I don't feel deprived or tempted. When I want something sweet I eat an apple or banana or some berries.  My body is happy which is never the case after stuffing my face with a pizza so it's worth never eating pizza again if I can feel like this all the time!!

STATS ARE IN!!!

Weight 236.6

Team "Where's Your Aspen?"

Anoher RAGNAR relay came and went, it was a blast!  This time unlike previous experiences I ran with a team where nobody knew anybody.  It was a team I put together from people posting on the Ragnar website that they were looking.  It was a great team! Easy to organize everyone did a great job running and cheering everyone else on and we had so much fun!!!

 Matt, Keith and Todd chilling in our hotel before out first run. Nice socks Todd

 Van 2 Me, Keith, Gary, Kristin, Matt, Todd

 Checking in!

 Gary finishing up Vail pass, killin it!

 First Van 2 exchange, Kristin ready to run up to 2 miles high elevation!!

 Keith waiting for Kristin at the end of her first leg

 I caught Matt mid stretch with this nice pose

 Todd Rocking his first leg!

 Gary crossing the street with his orange flag

 Todd finishing up his first leg and Matt is off and going

 Now we jump to our last legs. . .everything else was in the dark, my first two legs were in the dark, it was actually quite awesome!

 We didn't have the opportunity to support out runners because most of the running trails were not accessible to the vehicles so we're awesome on the legs we could support.

 Matt supporting Todd by dumping water down his back

 Todd running his last leg

 Todd still running

 Finish line!!

 Here they come down the switch backs, I was not willing to run, I had just finished my last leg that was 4 miles up hill in the heat of the day. . .wasn't feeling like running down a freaking mountain!

 Keith finished us off !

Keith photo bombing my double metal photo!  Wasatch back plus Colorado = Mile High metal too!!!

I averaged at 12:30 minute mile super slow compared to those I was running with but 1 minute faster than my wasatch back time!!!!  I ran all my legs, walked a few hills on my last leg and wanted to just lay down and die, my body was exhausted, I got a shower in at some point between my legs and even managed to sleep a few hours I would have to call this the best RAGNAR yet. . .oh and did I mention I stayed 100% paleo the entire relay!!!! Yeah I kinda ROCK!!!
