Nutrition
9:15am - 2 eggs, 1 egg white. 6oz iced tea.
2:00pm - 24oz. iced tea, and sushi! todays sushi was not as paleo as the last time - i definitely ate rice today, plus prob 2T soy sauce. Prob ate ~6 pieces of sushi (with rice), and ~4oz sashimi (sans rice). 1/2 packet of peanut m&ms.
6:45pm - just under 2oz. no sodium turkey breast
9:00pm - 1 banana, 1 egg, 1/4 turkey burger, 1/4 red pepper
**I know I cheated on paleo today. I know. But it was my friend's bday celebration, and we all just ordered sushi for the table, which makes it a bitch to stay clean because i love sushi. AND, once I knew where we were going for lunch, I planned my workout to fit the cheat. If you're going to cheat and have rice and sodium, it's much better to do it when you're doing something static like a 1RM DL, versus some sort of explosive movement (like a clean) or some sort of crazy long endurance work. Oh, and peanut m&ms are delicious. I've been craving chocolate on and off for 2 wks. I did however take a magnesium supplement today to curb those cravings from now on.**
Workouts:
7:30pm - 1mile run. Time - 7:40. PR!
9:00pm - 1RM Deadlift. 262# PR!
9:40pm - Metcon. Originally planned to do 3 rds of:
20 GHD
15 DL @ 65% 1RM
10 pull-ups
…BUT the DLs were so fucking heavy and my back was sore as a mother by rep 8 of rd 1, so I decided to split up the DLs and change the WOD format to be more manageable and so that it wouldn’t put me out for a few days. I changed the wod to:
Rd 1: 20 GHDs, 10 DL @ 65% 1RM, 10 pull-ups, 10 DL @ 65% 1RM
Rd 2: 20 GHDs, 5 DL @ 65% 1RM, 10 pull-ups, 5 DL @ 65% 1RM
Rd 3: 20 GHDs, 5 DL @ 65% 1RM, 10 pull-ups, 5 DL @ 65% 1RM.
Don’t get me wrong… it still fucking hurt but it was for sure more manageable breaking up the DLs versus trying to bang out a set of 15 at once. Time - 13:11
Then, as a pre-emptive strike to avoid back pain tomorrow, I iced my back, ate an extra fish oil pill, and sat in the hot tub for 10 mins till the night security guard kicked me out. Again.

Metcon 3:45pm
4 Rds for time:
10 FS @ 65%
10 KBS 1 pood
10 24" Box Jumps
Time- 12:34. Originally planned for 5 rds, but had to cut the wod short b/c there was a 4pm class.
Skillwork 9:15pm
Worked towards Skin the Cat and butterflies. Used 2 movements - Movement A was simply deadhang knee raises (essentially KTEs but raised knees together up as high as they'd go into my chest). Movement B was just holding tight in the starting position of the butterfly - tightening lats and pulling feet back and up as high as possible and holding tight.
Rd 1

Rd 2
A1 - 4x10 reps
A2 - 4x10 sec hold
... down to
Rd 5
A1 - 1x10 reps
A2 - 1x10 sec hold
I didn't time this as the goal here was to do everything strict, no kip, and to start from a still position for each rep. I shook my arms out a rested about 10-20 sec in between the sets of 10s, and rested a minute or so in between rounds. By the last round my knees were getting up waaay higher than in round 1. Skin the Cat here I come!!

OHS is no longer on the suck list
Okay, it's not like I'm great at them. They're still ugly, I'm sure. But I did them in a wod and didn't have to drop the bar ONCE in that wod and they felt the way they're fucking supposed to. Woo! So suck that, Overhead Squat!
Strength set 6am: Back Squat 3x3 @ 155#. These were tough but felt really good. Haven't back squatted in awhile.
Metcon 6am:
5 Rounds for time of: (12 min cap)
1 Snatch (full) @135/95# or 75% of 1RM - used 73#
4 Overhead Squats
10 Pull-ups
Time: 7:32
OHS felt AWESOME! No trouble getting down and Coach Rudy actually told me good job on them!! I DANCED over to the pull-up bar (and probably shouted with a big dumb grin on my face) I was so excited! That is the first non-negative feedback ever on my OHS and I was sooo excited :) Still excited. I power snatched in rds 2 and 3, but got the full snatch in rds 1, 4, and 5.
Skillwork 8pm: Tried to get some snatch work in but just couldn't focus. Tried to switch to butterfly work but same problem. I was just beat after all the traveling, shitty eating, etc this weekend and couldn't push myself into any actual work so went home and went to bed!

Week Two
Sunday 5/1/2011
Skillwork: Butterfly work!! Need to start with feet back and scoop them up without starting with a swinging motion. Need to tighten lats and core for this to be an easier movement.
WOD: 150 push-ups for time. Every break for 2 seconds or more results in a 50m sprint. Steve's creation. Time: 14:04. Good arm killer.
Monday 5/2/2011
WOD 8pm: 3 Rds: 10 BJ @ 24”, 10 KBS @ 1 pood, 10 sit-ups. Time 4:26. 1st rd of BJs unbroken but 2nd and 3rd were not. Need to get better to string BJs at a slightly uncomfortable height.
Skillwork: 8pm: Lots of rope climb instruction while A-coaching (@7pm), then 2 full-out rope climbs before my WOD. 2nd went probably 75% as fast as the first – need to get better upper body strength so that I don’t slow down until after 3rd rope climbs in a row. Then worked on butterflies for about 30 minutes. I got the legs movement down and can rep out 3 in a row though my chin isn’t over the bar. Conversely, can get 1 rep with chin over the bar, but then I drop down hard. In order to get the legs motion I am overly controlling the movement which makes it hard to get enough power to get up over the bar, and when I am going all out I am able to get the 1 rep over the bar but can’t get the rhythm. Need to work on both of these to nail the movement.
Tuesday 5/3/2011
Skillwork: 6 am: Clean bar path work. Need to get my knees coming forward on the second pull to the hang position. Worked on sets of 3 mainly, though stayed at 83# and 93# for awhile as Dan suggested form improvements. Worked @ 33#, 53#, 63#, 73#, 83#, 93#, 103# in preparation for Helen meets Grace event on Friday. Then moved on to Jerks in sets of 3 @ 53# & 63#, 2 sets of 3 @ 73#, 2 sets of 3 @ 83#, and a few singles @ 93#.
WOD 1: 7 am: Half Grace. 2:57. I expected this to take much longer. Felt good.
WOD 2 series/Personal Punishment session with Coach Dan: 8am: 3 rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 10 x 9’ WB @ 14#. Time- 5 min-ish. 2 min rest then, 1 mile run – Time 8:20. Followed by 5x back and forth bag penalties for running too slowly of cleaning the heavy bag once, then dragging in from ladder edge to ladder edge across the box floor. Followed by 5 isometric WB pushup, clean & squat – with my left hand on the WB with right hand on the ground do a push-up then jump over and transfer hands (not rolling the ball but moving my body over the ball) so left hand is on ground and right hand on the WB and do a push-up, followed by jumping up into a squatted position, clean the WB into a full squat. Those 5 were the hardest parts I think!! I am not coordinated.
Wednesday 5/4/11
Strength set: Find 1RM Press. PR today!! 5x 33#, 3x 53, 63#, then 2 @ 73, 83#, 1 @ 88# (PR), 93f, 90.5 f, 90.5f. Could’ve hit 90.5# fresh though. Then worked Push Press @ 63, 83, 103#. Slight jerk in 2nd set of 103#.
Thursday 5/5/11
Skillwork: 12:30 pm Bikram Yoga!
Heavy Metal Strength 5pm: Front Squat 5-5-5-5-5 (ended @ 115#)
Heavy Metal WOD 5pm: 3 rounds for time of: 50m Tire Flips, 15 Front Squats 135/95#, 25 Dumbbell Snatches 35/25#, 400 m Row. Time: 24:30 Was SOOO overheated during this workout. No more bikram pre-metcons!
Friday 5/6/11
Team CF Competition - Helen Meets Grace: 8:30 pm Partner WOD 3 rds: 400m run, 21 KBS, 12 pull-ups, 30 C&J @ 95. Time: 13:42.
Saturday & Sunday 5/7 - 5/8/11
Rest days - in CHI-TOWN! CFC Anniversary Party. Thank god I wasn't tracking my nutrition on this trip. good LORD!
--> This week I didn't really stick to my goals of 7-10 min metcons and laying low. Fail. I did, however, cut back and not workout 10 times this week, which when I get really excited about working out is actually quite difficult for me. So, that's a win. Next week I'll be back to two-a-days and awesome punishment, but the following week I really need to get in more of the short time domains.

Week One - Heavy Week
Monday 4/25/2011 Metcon: Team WOD. Each team member rows 800m, while the other members do DUs, hollow rocks, plank holds (for seconds), & mountain climbers (both legs count as 1 rep). My total score 440.
Skillwork: Stringing TTB work. Need bigger kip, almost out of control to string these. Snatch progressions up to 55#. Worked on bar path mostly and shoulder mobility.
Tuesday 4/26/2011
Strength Set: Push Jerk 5-5-5 @40/50/60% 1RM. Accidentally used men’s bar, so thought I was lifting at the %ages, but actually was up about 10% using 65#, 75#, and 85#. Then, metcon was 2 WODs back to back with 1 min rest in b/w.
Metcon: WOD A: 30 DU, 10 Push press @ 55#, 10 HSPU (8 min cap). Again with the wrong bar so worked @ 65#... 1 min rest… WOD B: 200 m sprint, 10 BJ @ 24”, 10 air squats. WOD A completed 2 rds + some DUs, WOD B completed in 8:30 or so.
Skillwork: Skin the Cat work with Coach Dan. Need to focus on tightening lats (shove shoulders back to start the movement) and get a stronger core. Need to do GHDs and other ancillary skills work to improve.
Wednesday 4/27/2011
Activity: Surfing! Love that Stacy came to visit and made me do stuff :) 2.5 hrs
WOD: Cindy! 12 rds
Thursday 4/28/2011
Metcon@ 9am: 15 min AMRAP of 200m row, 10 SDHP @65#, 200m sprint, 10 KBS @ 1 pood, 20 sit-ups. 3 or so rounds. I think.
Heavy Metal WOD(s) @5pm:
1) 10 mins to find your 1RM OHS. 105#! PR!! (Stacy said my depth was good during this portion of the afternoon, but in later rounds struggled really bad to hit depth so unsure if I really hit this PR or not).
2) 5 Rds for time: 3 OHS @ 95#, 25m burpee broad jump. This was atrocious. Couldn’t find the bottom of my OHS so this really ended up being a few burpee broad jump sessions and a bunch of trying to get to the bottom of the squat.
3) 25 min AMRAP: thruster @ 95#, 1 wall climb with 50# sandbag, 7 burpee 24” box jump onto and overs, 1 wall climb with 50# sandbag, 7 KBS @ 1.5 pood. This was kinda a mess b/c there were so many of us waiting for wall climbs or boxes that it’s hard to say b/c I went out of order so frequently. Probably was in b/w 2-3 rounds.
Friday 4/29/2011
WOD: 10-1 exchange Body Complex Progression (air squat, push-up, sit-up, superman, jumping knee tuck) & Squat Clean @ 95# plus sprint 100m in b/w each round. Time 25:58. I was DYING towards the end of this wod. I could really feel that I had worked out so much this week and was simply exhausted by the time I got into this. Was fighting to finish without even wanting to finish by the end.
WOD: Running! 4.1 miles in 47:49.4
Saturday 4/30/2011
Rest Day.
-->by thursday and friday I was REALLY feeling burnt out. thursday evening after we worked OHS and moved on to the metcon the metcon felt atrocious, and friday i was fighting so hard to get up 95# cleans - way harder than normally necessary. i know that this new workout plan is heavy and maybe even a little crazy but i think it'll be good for me to learn to really fight through a week. so... we'll stick with this for a few weeks and then i'll either continue on or try something new.

Oh right. Blogging.
So I've been tracking my workouts for the past, what, 2 weeks or so on my laptop... no idea why I wasn't just blogging them here. My sister just started a paleo challenge and is logging her stuff, which I was reading and discussing with her and then I remembered WHY I blogged. So, time to get back to my CFC roots and blog.
I wanna get back to where I was and better. I wanna compete for the 2012 Games. I may never be able to qualify at the Individual level but for sure on a Team I should able to be competitive. I want muscle-ups...butterfly pull-ups... a damn sub six fran time... and handstand push-ups to the damn ground. And to look hot in a bikini. I know about making S.M.A.R.T. goals, and I will for sure make them but right now I just want to get back to a competitive level in the box by getting a month of so of consistent CrossFit training (consistent meaning 5 times a week or more) and then I'm going to start establishing (and achieving) goals.
I am trying out a new training cycle. Week One: heavy weights, longer time domains, high volume of workouts, skills work. Week Two: Focus on speed training and cardio burners. Lower weights and shorter time domains. Fran-type WODs are the ideal time domain for this week. To play catch-up, I'll post week one and then week two as separate posts, and then will start daily/almost daily blogging to begin Week Three.

2011 Resolutions
So, I guess it's that time of year. I've actually never been big on making resolutions at the start of the year, but this year I realized that I needed to make some.
2009 was my coming out year ;) I had my first CFC wod on Feb 13, 2009, became obsessed by April, went full paleo in June, got my first kipping pull-ups (6 in a row!) in October, ran my first race (an 8k) in November, lost 40 lbs and won my first weightlifting competition in Dec!! And somehow in all of that, I found who I was and became truly happy again.
2010 on the other hand was marked mostly by endings. My husband and I divorced, I quit my job of ten years with my family's company, and my family and I didn't really speak much for almost four months. When the year itself ended, it did so on a pretty sad note for me, and maybe that's why when I looked back I saw mostly endings. On later recollection, I also competed at Sectionals and Regionals (where I landed the world's ugliest 100# snatch) for the 2010 CrossFit games, which were incredible achievements, and both of which I am very proud of.
So this year I'm gonna set it up better. I'm gonna plan and make sure I have a whole fucking list of achievements. Next year I'm not going to look back and see endings, I'm going to look back on achievements instead and be proud.
I resolve to...
2009 was my coming out year ;) I had my first CFC wod on Feb 13, 2009, became obsessed by April, went full paleo in June, got my first kipping pull-ups (6 in a row!) in October, ran my first race (an 8k) in November, lost 40 lbs and won my first weightlifting competition in Dec!! And somehow in all of that, I found who I was and became truly happy again.
2010 on the other hand was marked mostly by endings. My husband and I divorced, I quit my job of ten years with my family's company, and my family and I didn't really speak much for almost four months. When the year itself ended, it did so on a pretty sad note for me, and maybe that's why when I looked back I saw mostly endings. On later recollection, I also competed at Sectionals and Regionals (where I landed the world's ugliest 100# snatch) for the 2010 CrossFit games, which were incredible achievements, and both of which I am very proud of.

I resolve to...
- ...complete a mararthon. My very first.
- ...get two more CF certs under my belt (I'd like more than two, but at least 2).
- ...get my personal training certification.
- ...stop slacking on diet/exercise while shooting movies. 3 workouts per wk at least!
