i think im turning green

Hey guys! Soo after a rough work weekend with a nasty sinus infection we kind of just laid low.  I was soo excited because we were doing the CROSSFIT TOTAL today.  Being totally unaware of what to expect I got a lil nervous.  What I understood was ...it was the total weight lifted in a 1 rep max of a back squat, shoulder(strict) press, and a deadlift.  After I walked in I found my buds some of which I only get to see at events so that was awesome, they started telling me about how I'm going to beast this thing today.  I started getting more nervous.  Its weird... its like I put pressure on myself because I don't want to fail.  Either way I didn't know that other people knew I could lift.  Today was my first time ever doing some one rep max's soo I was soo curious to see how much I could get up.  I'm still not sure how I feel about telling people outside the gym how much I can lift.  I mean its cool and badass in the box but outside my friends, co-workers, clients, and family look at me as if I'm a monster.  Sometimes, like today, I really surprise myself with the weight I can lift and I do think I'm weird because I'm strong for no reason.  Ive been a hairstylist since 18 years old.  Softball is a sport Ive played my whole life but once I turned 18 I've played slow pitch and that's not really a workout... its just fun.  So I have no answer as to why I can lift but I love what its doing for me.  I do however really love lifting, its turning into something I truly enjoy.

So I started with my back squat.  In my head I didn't want to warm up alot I just wanted to start heavy and finish strong.  I LOVE using the 45lb weights... theres just something badass about them.  We did a few reps with lower weights and then I wanted to go from 215 to 250 since that was the number in my head.  250lb is a goal for me since I love squating and its not far from where I am at a few reps.  I was thrilled when I was able to go down and up with good form!  I even decided to go for 260lb but i got stuck at the bottom of the squat hahah lol.  The group I was lifting with was awesome... in fact everyone there today was awesome!  The gals I shared the bar with were pushing me way further than I would've pushed myself.

After that was the shoulder press... no dip, no bounce, standing, straight, and tight from the shoulder.  I wanted to just get a PR since I've been stuck at 85lbs for months.  After a few warmups, I tried one at 90lbs and couldn't even get it halfway.... WTF!!! This also happened to my girl B, so she suggested we rest as long as we could and try again.  We rest... I get up to the bar and get it half way and one arm locked out.... i held the bar half way with one arm bent for about 10 seconds while I refused to fail.  Somehow I got it the rest of the way up!!!  My whole body shook as I pushed and have no idea how it happened but everyone was screaming for me.... it was crazy!! I think was the most excited about this lift because its my weakness and finally got a PR.  That was all I wanted.

On to one of my favorites... DEADLIFTS!!!  I was thrilled to see where I was going to end up.  A 300lb lift was something I was going for but didn't think I could do.  I was really going for 290lbs... considering my heaviest deadlift was 275lbs.  One of the strong women I really admire was lifting with us and I know she has done way more than me so I told her I was going to try and keep up with her.  We did 265lbs and it felt light.  Then 285lbs felt good too soo I kept going.  Jamie got 305 on the bar and I did that one pretty good too.  Her and I decided to go one more time and when I went to try it my buds said "no... your going for 315" which scared the shit out of me.  I got it up though... and didn't struggle too much.  HOLY SHIT I JUST PICKED UP 315LBS!!!  This is why I think somethings weird about me,  I shouldve turned red and shakey, but I didn't at all.

I never thought weightlifting is something that would interest me... at all.  In fact I was probably just like everyone else who makes faces at me when I tell them what I lifted.  I get it... its not the most feminine thing but now that I do it I understand why its soo great for the body.  My shoulders, back, legs and butt are getting sculpted, I have a waist again, I'm losing inches, and my old clothes are starting to fall of me.... and its only been 7 months that Ive been training.  Crossfit is not all weightlifting, but we do it to learn good form for the low weight high rep conditioning WODs.  Weightlifting makes us stronger and faster for everything else we do.  It was really cool today to see what my "total" was.  I think this is a worldwide thing so if I go to Australia and meet someone who crossfits I can ask them what they're total is and I know how strong they are.  This is another reason why I love this sport.

Paleo=Blood work to make your Dr proud

my new necklace from melissa

So here we go again on the take my blood and pray for good results roller coaster.  I had my appt today to go over my bloodwork and I had them check everything besides my thyroid.  My doc was thrilled to see that my results have dramatically changed and all of my levels were right were they should be.  I even got a high five YES!  I worry now that I'm 30 because my mother had a heart attack very young and I have all of her health issues but we were able to find them earlier.  Including thyroid, and HBP I'm just waiting now to get the hypoglycemia.  The entire family suffers from high blood pressure on both sides so my bro and I were screwed either way.  I had high bp as a kid and only got worse as an adult.  At one point I was 220/160 and I was a size 7.  Since that point I've been medicated and was told I would never not be on high blood pressure meds.  I'm actually on 1 and 1/2 since I started running last year it started dropping so we had to cut back.  Lately its dropping again so I might just be down to 1 pill.  Anyway... I told my Dr about eating paleo and he was intrigued I explained to him how I've been eating more red meat and whole eggs than I've eaten in my whole life.  That was actually making me a lil uneasy, and even my boyfriend was getting concerned, and this was my reason for all the bloodwork.  But... all my sugars, cholesterol, and vitamins were great... imagine that all from eating non processed foods and more fat than ever!   We grew up with chicken and turkey everything since my moms heart attack.  No wonder she cant cook.  My dr said keep it up ...whatever your doing is working well for you.  YES!!! So now I plan on turning into a carnivore lol.  Somehow i ended up with another prescription.  I'm trying out singular, since my allergies have been the worst and I weeze and cough alot after a tough WOD.

I went to crossfit, saw Dr nelson and found out my legs and butt were a lil beat up from the race on Sunday.  So I thought I would take it easy with todays WOD.  We did a lift that Ive never done before and I loved it.  Barbell lunges!  I hope we do them more... I would like to be more stable but i did like them.

On to my game tonight... we were playing the only team this year that puts up a good fight, and boy do they want to beat us.  Its soo bad they get all hostile with us... really... you don't win anything or lose anything its all fun.. but its more fun to be on the team who wins 21-12 hahaha lol.  That was rotten I know but as nasty as they are it makes the win that much sweeter.  I had some good hits tonight some plays in the field (couldve been better but not awful) and my first HOMERUN of the season.  I almost hit one in the 3rd inning but then to hit one with 2 girls on base in the last inning was sweet.  The best part was how my girls came off the bench and went nuts at the plate with me.  I love my blue girls.  Now here I sit finishing up a beer ...in bed lol.  I'm going to get in another wonderful practice tomorrow after work with my coed team.... they're crazy fun.  Its a big prom day in the shop tomorrow too its gonna be a great day!
soo

Run forest run!

After a wonderful practice with all my buds Friday night (just what I needed) I knew all I had to do was rest.  I had to open the shop early for one of my lil girlies... her communion was a big deal and it meant alot to her to be the only one there lol.

I had a cray day Saturday running around the salon non stop.  It was an emotional day for me, as you all know I care very deeply for each and every person who sits in my chair and it just seemed like most of them were going through some really tough things.  Illness, death, life surprises, job loss, and dealing with a lot of heavy stuff.  When I hear these awful things it breaks my heart, I just try to listen and not cry with them but I always do.  Its tough when I want to help them soo badly and theres usually nothing I can do.  I love my clients and most of them (99%) I'm closer with than my own family ...even if I only see them every 6-8 weeks.  This is why I love my job.  Saturday definitely was a day of bad news pretty much on the hour.  It definitely keeps me in check when it comes to being grateful for the things in my life.

Later I found out that our Saturday night plans had been cancelled so I decided to go to my buddys bonfire.  I wasn't planning on staying very long considering I had to run a 5 miler the next morning.  It was actually nice to sit in front of the fire and hang out.  My Robbie, being very considerate, decided to call it an early night and we were that lame couple that left before 11pm.


So let me tell you about Me and running.  I'm realizing now that its a love/hate relationship.  I definitely grew to love it last year... until I started getting faster, running more frequently, and longer distances.  Then I got terrible shin splints that wouldn't go away and eventually turned into a stress fracture.  That was when I joined crossfit.  I wanted to get stronger in the legs and lungs to run for days.  It just so happens that I ended up loving crossfit soo much that I don't want to run and I hate the days we have to run with our WOD.  After realizing that I need more cardio in my life I decided to sign myself up for some races this year.  I figured oh... I have plenty of time to start running again and train for this first big 5 miler of the season.  Did I run? No. Did I realize I was going to hate this first run? Absolutely.  So I wasn't really looking forward to it.  Back in November I did a 10k(6.2 miles) and I thought I was going to die and definitely swore I would never do it again.  So I set myself up for this one.  I got a few friends to run with me today.  It was a beautiful day, despite my friggin allergies.  Sunny but still a nice breeze.  We got there at 830am, it started at 9 and we were off.  I was hoping to do all 5 miles within an hour.  That would put me at a decent pace kinda where I was when I stopped running.  I got down to 9-10 min/mile last summer but I was at the 11min/mile for a long time.  We ran the vineyards through the Heritage Winery, there were some big hills and lots of dirt.  I felt good coming up to the finish line and I even caught up to my friend Rachel.  Later I found out that she ran the whole 5 miles without stopping!!!  I stopped a total of 10 times for breathers, shoe laces, and cramping.  I truly haven't ran more than quarter mile runs with my WODs at crossfit so I really had no idea how I was going to do.  I used the mapmyrun app to track myself, especially because I love when it tells me what mile I'm on and my pace.. its very motivating.  I ended up with a time of 58:20!!!  WOOHOO!!! After I caught my breath and found some water, I realized it wasn't bad at all.  It was actually great and went smooth, I think I just cant run in the cold weather.  This day was perfect for a run.  Then came the wine tasting!! We tried a few and I ended up getting a sweet one to make sangria with.

After a nice hot shower and some lunch I was off to my softball games.  There was 3 of us who ran the race and were playing a double header lol.  We can hang though and we proved it this morning.  Its funny we were signed up for the race long before our schedule came out, and our run fell on the only double header on the schedule.  Our games were lousy and we had a few bad calls.  The one team we found out plays in a more professional league on week nights... they were ridiculous.  So after another shower I broke out a few Strongbows and went over to Robs parents house for dinner.  They always cook good food.  I did whatever it took to keep my eyes open while eating ...I had very little sleep these last few days and long week full of strenuous activities.  As I lie in bed now I had to get Rob to put icyhot patches on my back and I can feel my legs, hips, calves, and achilles getting tight.  He suggested a rest day tomorrow but I enjoy going soo much I feel like my body would get stretched more if I WOD.   I guess we'll see what kind of shape I'm in tomorrow.

WOD LOVIN'

This week was a first of being able to go 4 days straight to crossfit and perform to my standards (which are high lol) especially with my lifting.  3 PRs in 4 days and still not sore... I'm not understanding whats going on with me but I'm not complaining.  I don't know if I'm alone on this one but to see my name at the top of the leaderboard makes me feel like my efforts and patience is paying off.  I think the best part of my week (at crossfit) was being able to drop down to the orange and red bands for pull ups.  That's putting me soo much closer to my 2013 goal of doing unassisted pull ups.  I also was ear to ear smiling when I did my 3x3 deadlift at 275lbs.  I love deadlifting.

Working this week was amazing because everyone couldn't stop telling stories and laughing about our epic night at the Phillies game.  I love putting together everyones bits and pieces of a hysterical night.  I'm pretty sure we're going to plan another and hopefully soon.   This weekend our store is crazy I'm actually going in 2 hours early on Sat and couldn't be happier to do it... as long as I have my precious coffee.  

Tonight I played softball with my blue girls... omg it was soo funny.  We kind of played a team who wasn't too good... so we crushed them and laughed at each other the whole game. Sometimes we have soo much fun its as if we are the only team there.  

I'm thrilled to practice tomorrow with my coed team since I didn't go to last weeks game.  We are planning on beers as well.  I have a double header with them on sunday but me and some friends are running in a 5 mile run.  Its a vineyard run so it should be fun and the weather is looking to be beautiful... and it comes with a wine tasting yes!!!  My girls and I have to be careful tho since we are playing later... maybe we will play better lol.  I think ill want to take a nap but I doubt that's going to happen.  I'm glad my friend Rachel from crossfit is also running with us! Its a good crew and who knows how I'm going to run... i haven't ran more than quarter miles at a time since last summer.  I'm prob going to just drag myself through.  

Oh yeah I have  a special shout out to the Birthday Girl Melissa!! Cant wait to celebrate this weekend!

We brought Gorgeous to the Park

As a group... who ever was sitting by the front desk... we decided to go to a Phillies game.  Before we knew it our group got bigger and bigger.  The amount of people is still unknown but I would guess over 30.   Last night we brought the party to the parking lot a few hours before the game started. We had food, games and of course BEER.  I definitly put back a few Summer Shandys... not very paleo but whatever it was soooo good.  It was hysterical, all of us in our phils gear and our cars packed with snacks.  I'm not sure if Ive ever mentioned (lol) how much I love and enjoy my gals from work.  Its been the best year of my career and its only because I got placed into a salon full of amazing people.  They're soo talented, appreciative, and I adore each one of them for soo many more reasons.  One of the best parts is being part of a great management team... we group message each other daily with important work info and it always turns into a 50 msg long thread with pics icons and pics included.  This night was meant to be epic, and it was.  After playing some flip cup, taking great pics, and sharing some ridiculous laughter,  it got darker and the police let us know it was time to go in.

It was the 3rd inning when we started realizing we were missing alot of people.  I sent out a text to whoever we didn't see only to find out some of our crew didn't make it in lol... that cracked me up.  The game was close and it was frigid.  After hanging with the crew I couldn't take the cold anymore so a few of us decided to go acrossed the street to xfinity(my fav)!  Hanging with some more people who never came in was great too.  Out of no where my wrist was killing me... like hurt to put pressure on.   Wtf I have no idea what I did to be in this kind of pain.  I can barely put pressure on it!  The only thing I did that was semi active was hop down a row of seats... but I did it carefully and didn't fall or anything.  I hate mystery ailments.

I woke up today feeling good (besides the wrist) and ready to crossfit.  When I looked up the WOD I was curious to see if I was able to perform with my bum wrist.  I was soo excited to see the FILTHY FIFTY!!!  I was just telling my friend that I loved this and wanted to do it again!  The only concern I had was the burpees.  My friend Liz was there to hook me up with a professional wrist tape job and I swear I didn't have any pain.  I was pumped to do this again since I loved it back in January.  The only thing I was pissed about was the double unders... they haven't been working for me lately.  I decided it would be better to just do singles instead... but now im soo pissed I did since I made good time and it was the only thing that kept me from the RX.  I knocked 4 whole min off my time from January!!!!  I was soo thrilled but now that the new wodify tracker has the RX first and then the others I'm seeing that my score almost doesn't count because I'm not doing it as its prescribed.  Theres just some things like a friggin jump rope that kept me from having the 3rd fastest time of the day.  Its disappointing yet very motivating to have this new system give me a reality check.  I like it.  Also I think I got one of the best compliments ever today from my friend Ali.  She says right before we start.. you're going to push me harder.  I didn't understand what she meant considering we are on our own once you hear that 3,2,1 go! I then realized that we are neck and neck for alot of the WODs and she wanted to try and beat me... which in crossfit is a compliment.  She doesn't realize though that I look up to her and her amazing abilities... I wish I could kill WODs RX like her!

I loved this WOD and wish we could do it more.  Working after was just very relaxing.  I usually get a lil tired after a tough WOD but I was just feeling good.  With a short night full of awesome clients it went fast and the sun was still out when we left ......yes!!!  Its been a great day and an even better weekend.  Here's to a great week with hopefully no reason to watch CNN.

REST? who needs rest!

I started this week feeling kind of sore still from Festivus last Saturday, so I said... I'll take it easy... yea ok.  The wod monday was intense and long but I loved it.  We did bench pressing for strength and Tabata this! for our conditioning.  I know have a full understanding of what Tabata means... and I loved it.  I did what I could because my body was tired but I felt great about this WOD... and I was dripping in sweat so I know I got a good one in.

After my WOD I was feeling a lil lightheaded... I'm not sure if my allergies are just that bad and when I cant catch my breath I feel like my ears get all stuffed lol.  Either way I don't think light eating before working out is working for me.  Which sucks because I'm one of those people who cant eat right after waking up.  I had a protein shake and some eggs and felt much better.

Tuesday I was planning on getting up and hitting up Aspire but I ended up being soo tight in my shoulders/trap/neck that there was no way I could do cleans which I think was part of the WOD.  I guess I SHOULD rest... lol.  I know I have to do it to get strength but I HATE rest days... am I psychotic?  Am I crazy because I love going there and doing something good for myself while surrounding myself with awesome people?  NO.  Like I said before... its good for the soul.. I don't think you can walk out of there without feeling good.  On a side note... I found a pic from the photographer from the Festivus Games and its hysterical but I have to say im thrilled to see I make a face like im trying... any of the other pics im in while training usually just look like me trying to catch my breath lol.

Wednesday I already had my dri-fit clothes laid out to get up and go for the 730am class.  I HATE waking up early if I don't have to but I love that feeling when I'm done busting my ass for the day by 830am.  Sometimes I think I'm just as addicted to the post-workout feeling.  After that I ran to wegmans got some grass fed beef and got stuff for dinner later.  Ive been sticking to a mostly paleo diet which its been a lil easier to stray this week since I'm not training for a particular reason.  Im thrilled that ive been losing weight still.  But to be honest I hate the way I feel after I eat shitty... it hurts my stomach and I feel like shit.

Today I woke up and went to the 9am class... and I woke up early enough to eat something real before my WOD.  I'm not a fan of shoulder presses since I cant get a PR for months now.  I couldn't even get more than 80lbs up when I normally strict press 85 wtf.  Either way I wasn't sweating it... Alycia explained to me that I'm at a point now where I'm not always going to get a PR every time.  Sometimes I need people to put things in to perspective for me... shes absolutely right and realized I cant beat myself up for not lifting more weight than the last time.  However I am looking to build some arm strength in areas we don't really focus on.  So this is where Rob comes in.. although he doesn't really know good form lol.

I felt good after I finally caught my breath.  I wasn't lightheaded or feeling weird.  In fact I felt like hitting DSW for some new spring shoes for work since I put the boots away.  I did find a cute pair of strappy flats by some ortho company which is fab for my kind of job.  After that I went over to pick up my bud Melissa because its been 4 weeks since she broke her ankle and we had an appt at the orthopedic.  She got great news and is healing fast.  She also decided to try and drop the crutches for a lil bit and was hobbling around well.  Today was finally my day to get my 2 inches of roots touched up by my bud Ashley.  I pretty much tortured this poor girl for 2 hours while she did the tedious job of color my hair.  My color is fresh and bright and I'll like it much better in 2 weeks when I get a lil root ...I'm soo weird ...i want to be blonde but it doesnt look great with my skin and black eyebrows so I feel like a lil root makes me look better.... I'm nuts.

We had another great softball game tonight with the blue team winning 11-3... I just love these girls.  I swear sometimes all we do is break each others balls to the point where I almost forget about the other team.   There was some funny errors nothing too bad, and we were all hitting even if the women was pitching illegally all night.  Our new ump had a humongous strike zone...like up at the shoulders in slow pitch is not a strike but he called it.  Either way it was fun because I play on the best team and I swear when we aren't in season I miss these women soo much!

Sooo I got my clothes ready to WOD after work tomorrow, I apparently don't feel like resting at all this week but I feel good so why not.  I love seeing the pm crossfiters its nice to catch up with them and kill WODs.  I'm looking forward to curling my hair and seeing my fresh color done right.  All the girls from work (30 of us) and husbands are going to the 8pm phils game Sunday night and planning an day of tailgating with all the works.  I'm not sure yet but since my coed softball game is later in the day I'm prob going to skip it... as long as they don't need me and last week they didn't so we'll see.

Competition Recap...

Soo I had my big competition yesturday and I really was soo nervous I actually peed 7 times in the first hour I was there!!! Thats cray!  Anyway enought about bodily functions it was great as soon as I got there I found my crew got my heat assignments and we discussed who was going when so we could be there for them when they throw down.  I had the 21-15-9 round wod first which kind of fatigued me for the day.  I just tell you that they pulled the trash can over to my area because I was definitly ready to barf.  Seriously I could barely walk, talk or breathe.  I was a lil worried because I the lift wod next within the hour and there was no way I could recover fully from that.  My buddy Ron got me a vitacoco which I mixed my new sweet potatoe protein with once I got that down I felt better but I was upset because while I was lifting my girl Brooke was doing the 21-15-9 rounds of torture and I couldnt be there to cheer for her.


On to my next wod ...Im soo dissapointed with myself and theres nothing anyone can say... I know i still had one of the heavy lifts of the day but I couldve really killed it.  Any normal day I can do it and it couldve been a mix of nerves, and fatigue but I couldnt get anymore than 125 up 3x for a clean and jerk.  Ive done 140 so my goal was to PR at 155 but it just wasnt happening.  Btw my sternum is the most bruised its ever been.. it acutally hurt to lay down.  I know alot of people think we are nuts for wanting to participate in this sport but if you ever came out and just saw a normal class or the espn crossfit games.... you would get it.  Its amazing, the people ive become friends with from my crossfit box.  Theyre amazing and yes we may be a cult but when I explain it to other people, I now tell them its more like a club where we do intense crazy workouts and hang out and laugh in that hour when we eventually catch our breaths.  Some of these people have helped me do things they dont even know they did because theyre just amazing people.  For instance... I was soo nervous about this competition  that I talked about it for weeks,  can I tell you the only people who came out to watch and cheer me on were my friends from my box.  Not my friends or family... my cult came to support me.  Even my bud Melissa who is on crutches and cant drive got her ass over to Philly to be there for us.

Let me tell you.. they came and came strong, the extra pointers and screams when you feel like you cant run another 10 meters will push you further than your lungs can even handle.  Even at one point when I thought I would sneak away to finish my last event (which I wasnt thrilled to do) without anyone watching so they wouldnt see me fail miserably... when I looked and they were all there.  I was even handed a beer as soon as I finished YAY, and I was told they were surprised because I looked like I ran out of steam but got another 2 rounds in.  I was out of steam but its because of them screaming for me that I did get 2 more rounds.   I love them for this and thats another reason why I love this cult/club/gym whatever you want to call it, crossfit is great for the body and the soul.

I woke up today sooo sore... I wasnt expecting that since I didnt feel like my results were good.  Now I know I gave it everything I had because my body was ailing.  My quads, arms, shoulders, traps, and even the sides of my neck were sore... but the good sore like I pushed myself as hard as I could and gave it my all.  I almost needed this because now Im not so dissapointed knowing I can barely do the clean shrug today I def gave it everything I had.  I was just burnt out at that point.  Now trying to figure out how to get around that for the next competition.  I cannot wait to compete again.. it was soo much fun... but I truly think it was more fun screaming and cheering for my friends!!  Oh yeah did I mention we went out for food after and had delishous BBQ on south street!  What a fab day!

Rob and I ran some errands, had brunch (steak and eggs!) and, cleaned the house.  I was waiting around all day for my 545pm softball game which I was excited for since it was my first game with the coed team.  I stretched and foam rolled as best as possible and felt ready to kick ass.  We ended up having a few extra people so we rotated.  The game sucked... we lost... whatever.  Afterwards I was thinking about it and I got pissed.  I waited all day to play and only played a few innings, never even got my hands on the ball and only got to hit 3 times.  That sucks I play because I like to play not because I like to wait all day to play and cheer from the bench... I like to share and rotate I believe everyone should have a chance to play but I wasnt happy about it last night.. I might as well have stayed home and rested my shoulders.  I dont care if we lost or won, I just like to play.

After I got home and ready for bed my shoulders were shot... pretty much couldnt lift my arms up past my head lol.  I now am understanding that I did the best I could and left it all at the festivus games.  I look forward to killing it next year.  I just hope I can WOD tomorrow lol.
