WOD exhaustion

Sooo I'm starting this one off with my WOD yesterday. I wasn't thrilled with my form with a snatch so I'm going to man up to it on here lol. So our move yesterday was a snatch and it's not my strongest move, I have a hard time with the squat and whip. As always I started with an empty barbell for the form and I got knocked right on my ass when I bowed the barbell out and behind my head. I also smashed it into my shin while landing ass first on the ground. That hurt REALLY bad I swear I saw stars for a min. I was swelling and bleeding under my pants so I took it easy and did a power snatch and eventually eased into more of a squat but I really needed to work on form. It's truly my weakest move and I get disappointed with myself. Anyway I busted my ass in the metcon and did power snatches relentlessly til I was first one done... Forgetting about 13.3 for today. I swear I get going and I can't take it easy. Soo my bud Melissa broke her ankle the night before and since I'm home on thurs I offered to hang out and take her to her drs appt. It was nice hanging with her and going to lunch at elevation burger(soo yummy). I admire her soo much because anyone else would've had me take them home to rest and take it easy, but she asked me to take her to crossfit. That's dedication... she met up with another awesome friend (also in a boot) to work on upper body lifting! Soo impressed, most people would sulk and feel sorry for themselves but not these girls!

Today I got up early made my lunch breakfast and felt great all morning.  It was 30 degrees but looked like 60. I had my bag packed to do the 13.3 WOD which I wasn't all that excited or nervous for... that is until we got our pre workout pep talk about strategy. All of a sudden I was almost sick. My goal was to just get through all of the wallballs and to get at least a couple double unders. I just started to get double unders only a few weeks ago so I was hopeful to get a few. I hate wallballs to begin with and since its my least fav thing to do I'm not surprised I had to do 150 of them(wtf). My feet cramped and my lungs burned so I kept stopping... I kicked off my shoes which helped. After I finished my wallballs I didn't have alot of time left for double unders but NOTE TO SELF... u can't jump rope without shoes on lol. At least I got a couple which was my goal! I had a great judge who pushed me hard and I need that. But my throat still burns and its hours later... My whole body ached and cramped in the car ride home lol all that from friggin wallballs lol! It's ok pino noir made me feel much better! I'm looking forward to a day off from any kind of physical activity. I'm soo tired (lazy lol).

3/22/13 WOD 152 reps

A ThursDAY in the life of...

So today I had off of work... like I do every Thursday.. and I had soo many random errands to run that I feel like I was in my car all day.  I started at my crossfit gym(aka box) and decided to take it easy today.  I've had a nagging shoulder "thing" going on that got much better in the last 2 weeks but ended up with some kind of awful back/rib "thing".  Apparently I got soo tight in the side of my back that it constricted my ribs and actually made it difficult to breath for the last 5 days.  The good news is... its better and all it took was an adjustment and some massage yay!

                                                                           

WOD (workout of the day)
-power cleans x2 - worked my way up to 135lbs
-21,15,9 reps - in 5:14
85lb power cleans
ring dips w/Orange band


Now that I look at the whole workout I thought I took it easy and ended up getting a PR(personal record) by 15lbs! hell yes! I don't know maybe im just a maniac.  So I hit up the supermarket to get somethings for my vitamix to make sure I eat healthy.  I picked up some spinach, frozen berries, cucumber and coconut water.  Im sure ill put all that together when im half asleep tomorrow morning while curling my hair, doing my smokey eyes, remembering to take my meds, and feeding my kittie boys.  Oh yeah and dont forget the COFFEE!!! I <3 COFFEE!!!  Unfortunately im embarrassed to admit this but this is another reason for writing a blog... I became very weak in the store and got a freakin CADBURY EGG.... ugggghhhh those things are my weakness.  So basically I cleaned up the house and ate my egg for lunch with a bunch of Robs Swedish fish I found!!! Lovely an all candy lunch! I get sooo mad at myself but its like I lose control!!!
Later I ran to BJs and picked up some bulk items and its great being able to go by myself now.  Before I needed Rob to come with because I couldn't life the 42lb cat liter out of the cart, as well as the other humongous items I need, and now because of all the training I can pick up alot of things I couldn't before.  Which reminds me hehehe... I got this ridiculous bruise that I totally deserve for being an a-hole, from picking up my co-workers in a bar stool.  I was afraid they would fall so I was leaning the leg of the stool against me... no biggie till the next morning my leg was purple haha lol thats what I get... but I totally beasted it.  Anyway looking forward to a crazy weekend behind the chair where I belong, I dont thing I have any openings so lord knows I wont be eating... get the protein shakes ready!
