I definitely don't feel like I gave my 100% today.  The WOD was

Bulger

Ten rounds for time of: 30 MIN Cap
Run 150 meters
7 Chest to bar pull-ups - reg. pull ups with blue/black band
135 pound Front squat, 7 reps - I did 55lbs
7 Handstand push-ups - floor push ups with my knees up

I made it to 9 rounds at 28min and then went to the bathroom and got sick.  I am mad that I didn't wait until after the 30min to go and get sick....  I wish I had finished the last 2 min.  I seem to only get sick on the really hot days and when it involves a lot of running.  I am not sure if I am more mad at letting myself down or letting the coaches down :(

Forgot to put Friday's WOD as well

WOD:
Summer Benchmark “Helton” - 2 rounds and 800m
Three rounds for time of: 30 min cap
Run 800 meters
50 pound Dumbbell squat cleans, 30 reps - 20lbs for me
30 Burpees - I did them off a box

Very frustrated today...

Breakfast pre WOD - banana and water

Breakfast Post WOD - cut up sausage with peppers and salsa (leftover dinner) so  yummy Usually we put this mix on a bed of rice however it is just as good by itself and quite good!

4pm Snack - Pear

Dinner - 3 Scrambled eggs with peppers, salsa and mushrooms / water

On a Happier note - I picked up a few new articles of clothing this weekend and I bought everything in a Large instead of an XL :)

Today's WOD "Elizabeth" - 8:13
21-15-9
Clean - I did 55lbs
Ring dips

Focus - 1 rep max split jerk (this is my fav.) - 85lbs

I ran with someone today for the warm up.  I tried to keep up to a quicker pace so I had to stop twice, but it was def. quicker than I am used to.  She helped to keep me going.  I really LOVE the support that you get from the group... really what other gym does that??

I can actually say I like crossfit.... weird :)

Pre work out - hard boiled egg and water
Post work out - more eggs and salsa lol

WOD
“helen”
3rds
400m run
21 kb swing 1.5/1 pood (16 kilo)
12 pullups - blue/black bands


Breakfast/Lunch - 2 eggs and chicken scrambled with 2 tbs of salsa, 16oz water


I have to say I am really glad I was pushed today... I worked last night and really struggled with wanting to go this morning, so I actually really needed the extra push!  I have to work on not saying that I can't do something... I am just so used to saying it and not trying it. 
I was just that kid in HS who wouldn't put their hand up to answer something in case it was wrong.  I don't like attention on me, good or bad.  Crossfit has helped me in so many more ways than just exercise and health...

Yesterday was Met Con Blue !!  Great showing!  It got me very excited to try doing it next year!  So that will be one of my new goals :)

Just wanted to share that yesterday my received my volunteer shirt in a Large instead of the usual XL!!!  Very exciting for me!  It fit comfortably over my sweater.  Small changes are happening :)

Breakfast this morning was a big salad (breakfast was my dinner)

Lunch was some cut veggies with cold chicken pieces and 2 hard boiled eggs.... so good and very filling.

Dinner is stuffed peppers with ground beef and cauliflower rice and salsa..
