Mondays...

So I went to crossfit today and worked on a little fundamentals followed by a wod! I worked on deadlifts. The deadlift and the sumo something deadlift haha. Anyway after I did a bunch of those and worked on my form. (which btw makes me feel goofy cause I mess it up a lot at first =/) Oh well. After all of that I did a wod and it was killer lol. I had 5 rounds of 5 sumo deadlift pulls (55lbs), 7 box jumps, 5 push ups, and 100m run. Ok so it doesn't sound bad until you do this consequetively as fast as you can after you are tired from just learning the crap lol. I would have been beat even if I wasn't doing stuff b4 it haha! But anyway, I think I did decent. I need more confidence cause I get all nervous when I first start like I am scared of doing it wrong or whatever. Well I did all that in 8:59!! It was so nice to sit down and guzzle that water haha! I could feel the 3 days I took of from physical activity! Well after all this my poor hands were hurting!! They are getting tough I guess haha! owee is all I can say!
Then I had a de-lish smoothie from smoothie king mmmmm! =) And I actually  ate something healthy 2 nights in a row since the weekend!! GO ME! I had a great half of a panini with grilled chicken, red peppers and swiss cheese with a little balsamic vinegar and some potato soup. Ok I know the potato soup was tons of starch n carbs but I had small portion so... I guess that helps. And yes... I used my paper plates again! =) I swear no more paper plates after this pack is up. Though its only one thing I don't do. I buy all the green paper towels and I use the myers all natural cleaning products as well as some homemade stuff. I think Im doing my part... so stop hating on my paper plates people! =)

Yummmm! It was sooo Good too!

Yummmm!

This weekend I kinda failed at my diet and did a little more partying than working out. But thats ok cause Im jumping back on the horse. =) I went out with my girlies and met hoobastank and then hung out with them all night and drank some yummy drinks. They were so cool too! I kinda felt famous too haha cause I was chilling with them and all! Anyway Sunday I felt a little guilty of all the alcohol and unhealthy food I ate (which I had a lot). And because Im not done reading my paleo book I don't really know what to eat from it. So I chose something I knew was healthy and cooked it. I had some baked turkey and gravy with some broccoli and butter sauce (light butter) and man it was De-freaking-lishious. I work out tomorrow ahhh! Check back with me =)

And yes... since Dustin is gone I like to eat off the good ol paper plates haha! I hate dishes so the less I have the happier I am, even if it isn't so green of me!(tisk tisk)

DARN!!

 I meant to take a picture of the AWESOME beef and broccoli stir fry I made. It was in my p90x cookbook. I haven't finished my paelo diet book yet so I haven't actually started it yet. But this stuff was  D-E-LISH!! Gauge even liked it! Didn't do too much of anything today... just a little car washing and waxing... that was a workout haha! Back to CF tomorrow. Keep updated folks.

Wow... that was a killer!

Ok... so I had a lot of stuff going on today but around 12 it was time for crossfit! I was a little intimidated when I was walking up because I saw meagan in there and she is a hoss lol. Not that I am competing but still... makes me go wth am I doing!? Well anyway I got ready and Ashley Navarre (inst.) showed me how to do each movement for the warm up and let me just tell you, it felt like a serious workout lol! I had to do do 3 rounds of kettlebell swings (15lb), 5 pistol squats on each side(which is a one legged squat) followed by burpees. Oh and the burpees reminded me of monkey fuckers and up down goes in the army lol! They are tiring. I felt pooped after that and then came the workout which wasn't too bad. I mean it was tough esp. the rowing... I can't wait to get some more upper body strength!! It will come with time =) Anyway, back to the WOD!! It was 5 rounds (my modification was 3). We had to do 500m and 15 ring push ups (my mod was 10 regular pushups). so all together I rowed 1500m (and a little) and 30 pushups!! My time was 10:02 and my arms were hurting lol!! But it was awesome! Friday I get to work on my dead lift fundamentals cause some how I didn't get to those =) So till next time!

Day Uno

Today was day on of my workouts... I wasn't quite as bad as I suspected it to be. However, I am sure that is because it was my first workout haha. From watching the other people that workout there I am POSITIVE the next few will be progressively harder and break me off =/ I did a couple of before and after photos, but Im not going to actually post them lol maybe later when I have some afters... maybe. I did take some pics of me being dumb while I was taking them. Im sure Dustin will appreciate them so Im going to 
post those. You know some deuce flashing and some fake flexing haha. Yeah I was laughing at myself cause i felt like an idiot but oh well. I was told to think about what I wanted my body to look like when i finished and I think I want to have Jullian Michael's body and as Spencer says... without the masculine face haha. Well today's WOD (workout of the Day) was : 7 headstand push-ups and 7 pullups (5 rounds) Well Im sure you know without me saying I can't do headstand push-ups cause Im a weakling =) So I did 7 shoulder presses (45lb) and next time will be increasing the weight to 55lb. (by suggestion not choice lol) And I did 7 pull-ups with the green resistance band =) (also cause Im weak) I did it in 8:33 and was actually pretty excited about my time... even if it may have been slow in comparison to other people. I felt accomplished. I think I did decent. I was running on like 4 hours of sleep (maybe) b/c of all the homework I had and didn't eat a bite since the day b4. So I did pick up some healthy snacks I can eat while on the go or while studying. I realized... sleep/food are important b/c I felt sluggish until I  had some food. =) I go back on Wed and have some friends that will be joining me on Friday. yay!

Still on fundamentals...

  This week I am still learning the basics of lifting... Monday we did squats and I did a lot of them plus 5 min of 'cindy'. And honestly when he said 5 minutes, inside I was thinking ok 5 min. thats nothing... WRONG! Omgsh, I was tired and the next day my legs were hating me haha. It made me wonder why I ever let myself get out of shape! I used to beable to run a 62sec 400m right after I ran a 10:40 3000m tempo lol! Even got first at the darn gator triathlon relays, I was 2nd best Pt in my unit (inc. guys) and got a slot in airborne because of my 340 pt score lol. Ugh I guess that's what happens when you have a baby and stop everything else. Time management was not my friend in those days. 
   I plan on doing progressive photos throughout this bad ass journey I am on lol just haven't started yet. I will probably start next week at that. Hmm not that Im not confident and think Im pretty cute but by the time I am done I want to have a smoken bod lol. Hey its a goal and trying to obtain that may make me get closer than I think.... right!? =) Friday is my last day of Fundamentals and then I think I will get my booty really handed to me! Can't wait!

Day Zero
