Wednesday Oct 16th
As many rounds as possible in 20:00 min.
5 kipping swings
5 jumping pull ups
10 burpees
15 kettle bell swings
6 rounds! My entire body hurts from all my other workouts, it was a sweaty one today!!!
Tuesday Oct 15th
Ten rounds for time:
15 dead lifts (#85)
15 push ups (used a black band around my waste connected to the parrallel bar to help me complete them)
20:53
I've always kinda sucked at push ups and I still do, it is intimidating watching everyone around me knock out 15 push ups and 15 deadlifts and starting on another round of push ups while I'm struggling through my first 10 push ups. . .but I'll get there. . .I'm getting stronger, I can feel it!
Monday Oct 14th (Monday was a twofer. . a WOD and a MOM's class)
1-10-1-20-1-30
Power cleans
I've stopped being so wussy with my weights and started challenging myself a bit more.
85-68-95-65-85-45
If I would have been a bit more brave my first power clean I might have made it to 100# but maybe next time! I toughed this class out as the only girl there of 8 of us on an early Monday morning. . .talk about hardcore. . .can I just say since I've started attending the 6:30 class pretty regularly I have really enjoyed my classmates, everyone is so helpful and supportive. . .thank you 6:30 and 7:30 crossfit classmates!
MOM's

there were only 5 people in our 6:30 workout, usually there is about 16. . .wusses didn't want to run. . .I hadn't run since RAGNAR so it felt good to get out and run a bit, my first half mile I was just over 5:00 min. but I gradually got more and more sluggish. . .

Sumo deadlift high pulls (#45)
thrusters (#45)

Molly and I couldn't make it to class today so we got our own personal training session of the WOD with Eric. . .it was awesome being just 3 people getting all the attention, not to mention my own personal cheer leaders! I felt strong and I LOVE those Sumo deadlift high pulls. . .it was a killer workout, loved it!

Oct 9th WOD
Overhead Squats
5-5-5-5-5
yes I did it! 5 rounds of 5 reps, my heaviest weight was 63#
63# of extra weight holding it high above my head while squatting, say what you will but I'm impressed. . .just a few months ago I couldn't do a squat without holding anything over my head and now I'm adding poundage. . .that is awesome!

It's a miracle!!
I talked Adam into joining me at the Free Cross Fit intro class on Saturday. . .I failed to get photos. . .which is a shame since I don't know if I'll ever see him there again
He liked it. I had to join him which means our little monster came too, I was able to get the workout in, which by the way was workout #5 for me last week, that's a record.
Adam complained about his back hurting all weekend and claimed that I broke him, I just told him he needs to move more.
I on the other hand wasn't even sore from the workout and I did the intro workout 4 minutes faster than the first time I did it and that included chasing Owen around between my reps.
Not bad. . .now I need to convince Adam to join forever. . .he'll start working again next month so we are trying to figure out a schedule that would allow him to make it there several times a week without taking away from my workout time. . .I'll keep you posted.
On a different note.
Last week I completed my whole30 of strict paleo. . .I kinda went nuts last week with eating junk and I felt it! I decided this morning when I wasn't feeling well enough for a 6:30 am WOD that I HAVE to go back to strict paleo. I am playing with the idea of allowing myself free meals on the weekends but I haven't decided if I have enough self control yet. But today I stuck to my paleo eating and already feel 70% better. . .not quite back to that 100% but I'll keep it up this week!

DEATH BY PULL UPS (or ring rows)
WOD 10/3/12
Death by pull ups
1 min 1 pull up
2 min 2 pull up
3 min 3 pull up
and just keep going until you can't complete the amount of pull ups in that minute, I made it to 14! My forearms feel like they are going to fall off. I made it to a 7:30 am class after work and I was just happy to be there. . .but oh so tired! It was my 3rd workout this week!!!! Go me!
I was happy to not be alone on the rings today, so many other joined me. . .oh and did I mention I call hang from the pull up bar now. . .I know that doesn't sound like much but I wasn't able to hang when I started so that is HUGE!!!

MY WOD bruised me
WOD 10/2/12
800 meter run
21 Hand stand push ups (adaptation dumb bell shoulder press 15#) and kettle bell snatch each arm 8kg
15
9
Loved this workout, I always like it when we run, it feels like I get a break from my workout because I am such a slow runner.
But the kettle bell snatches killed my arm every time I pushed it up it would swing down and hit my arm so now it looks like I have been beaten, just battle wounds I guess.
This picture doesn't do my bruise justice but it's there maybe it will start to get more black and blue in the next few days I'll be sure to update the photo if that's the case.
The workout was worth the bruises!

1st October MOM's Workout
MOM's class OCTOBER 1st
4 rounds of:
20 Push press 43#
20 Single are kettle bell swing 8 kg
30 meter lung with 10# weight over head
Can't remember my time but mom's classes don't count because we are chasing our kids around and trying not to swing a kettle bell in there face while doing our workouts. But I do love the mom's workouts, smaller group laid back and no pressure, I can stop and keep my child from pulling a weight on top of himself or just watch him try and mimic my awesome cross fit skills.
However it is a bit intimidating when the 9 month pregnant lady next to me is push pressing 30 lbs more than me. . .one day I'll be that lady.
