8/31 WOD aka WOD OF TRICKERY!
So remember how I posted earlier this week that we had to pick 2 of 3 WOD”S listed? Yeah, remember how my coach made me choose the running one as 1 of my 2? Well today we came into the box and…
You were forced to do the 1 you did NOT pick! and you had to double it and do it! Holy sensei-like trickery! So my coach’s plan backfired and I did not have to do the running one!...

Ahh, midweek workout….
SKILL:
Split Push Jerk
WOD:
6 Minute AMRAP
Max Effort Thrusters
5 burpees everytime you have to rack the bar
Fun and Easy, right! That’s our box’s motto. So the split push jerk…hmm… interesting movement. NOT natural to me, LOL. This is the first time I did this move and I had trouble with the stance and landing correctly with a wide...

Ugh. We just did Tabatas on Friday night and now it’s on the board for tonight. Can I just say that I never knew how hard you could work out for 8 gosh darn minutes! Yeah, craziness…

Weekend Workouts!
Just updating here… Saturday morning was a 3 mile hike on my favorite trail (luckily it has been cool and NOT sunny here for about 3 days). Then on Sunday morning it was back to Zumba!

8.24.12 WOD - Ahh, Tabatas...
Another great way to finish the week out. I honestly was exhausted and did not want to go tonight. The hubby pretty much forced me, but I’m glad he did because I needed it and now I feel amazing!
SKILL:
3 max effort sets of chest to bar pull-ups
2 min rest between
I’m still using the big band and I dream of one day going to the medium. But I did 3 sets of 10 unbroken. We had to...

8/22/12 WOD
Another good night at CrossFit! Fun and Easy!
SKILL:
Hit and Catch
So basically we worked on the hit and catch portion of the snatch and clean and jerk. Last time we worked on the movement at the bottom end and the squat and so today we moved up to the middle/upper portion of the movement. I was doing really good with this and the coach was liking my form. I feel much more comfortable at...

Musings...
So again, life got in the way last week and I didn’t get to crossfit as much as I had planned to. With another birthday dinner I had to go to and my 5th wedding anniversary, it was all about eating out not working out, LOL. I did go purchase my 10 pack of hot yoga classes so I can start up this week again. Ahh… I so miss my yoga…
Yesterday though I got an email from my...

8/13/12 WOD
(please excuse the blurry pic - my arms and legs were shaking so bad after tonight)
Well, today was the first day “back on track” with working out and eating. July was about 2 trips and last week I was in Sacramento taking my State Board Exam for my Acupuncture License. So CrossFit has been hit and miss for that period of time.
It’s also been very very hot here in SoCal...

8/1/12 WOD
So tonight was really rough. I’ve been in Vegas for a week and so I haven’t been working out and tonight it really showed. It was to the point that I was angry with what my body was and wasn’t doing for me. Ugh.
It just goes to show you’ve got to keep up with workouts to keep moving forward. I’ve hit a plateau with my weight loss too and so I hope to get back on...
