Today's WOD
“jack” - AMRAP (20 min)
115 pound Push press, 10 reps - I did 45 lbs
10 KB Swings, 1.5 - I did 12 kilos
10 Box jumps, 24 inch box - I did step ups on just under 20' box
I completed 6 rounds and 5 push press
I don't think I have ever sweated so much :) I feel good about this WOD and what I ate and the amount of water I consumed ... all is back to being good today.
My VERY sore knees are still VERY sore and achy. I wake up during the night from knee pain... I really hope it goes away soon..
Did I mention that I started to name my quad muscles?? I can not get over how much more defined they are.. lol

I am finding it a little more difficult to log in my food journal. Life has just consumed me lately.
So much to do and so much running around.
Thursday's WOD was "DT" I did it at 55lbs. I also moved bands again. I am at blue/black :) YAY me!!!
I have tried a few more new foods.
Kale Chips
Guacamole
I can definitely tolerate avocado in guacamole form much better than eating it raw :) So my goal for this upcoming week is to continue with the water, cutting out wheat, adding more healthy fats and adding more fish :)
Good day today. Had a nice big omelette with ham for a late breakfast and then hamburgers without buns and salad for dinner.

Broke down and had a cheeseburger from McDonalds. I didnt enjoy it at all and it made me feel really gross afterwards. :). I live that i am paying so much attention to how different foods effect my body.

“Jackie”
1000m row
50 thruster 45/35
30 pull up
I did it it in 13:03
I actually find that I would like to go to the gym more often then just 3x a week. Not sure if my body can take it or not, but I find too long in between leaves me feeling sluggish. I can try to do WOD's from home but it is very hard to keep motivated lol.

Can I just say that cutting out wheat in my diet has become quite the challenge! I am not doing so well the last couple of days. I am trying really hard. Tonight I indulged in tacos :(

Why are we so hard on ourselves?? I KNOW that I shouldn't be and that I should be happy with what I have already achieved, however that is never the case!
Wasn't nearly has happy with my workout today. I feel like I could have done a better job.
WOD - 7 rounds of:
7 deadlifts (45lbs)
100m sprint (I actually ran today again!!)
15 pull ups (I did 10)
I believe my time was 23:30
I am happy with my running but definitely not proud of my lifts. I really wish I could have pushed harder to do 15.
Breakfast this morning was leftovers - Porkchops and yams which I had after I worked out.
Lunch - baked green pepper stuffed with tuna, cucumbers and tomatoes!

Hiked up Blue Mountain today with my family. We did 2.6 km in 61 min. So much better than what I did the last time I went up last year! Less stopping!
Very excited!

Still very tired, achy and have a huge headache. Not sure what is going on, maybe coming down with something??
Yesterday's WOD
100 pull ups (I did 50 with green and blue bands)
100 pushups (using a bar)
100 sit ups
100 squats
Time was 29 minutes and 34 seconds
My arms were JELLO!! A little sore today but not as bad as my knees. They are really sore to bend.
As I am sitting here I am beginning to get hungry but really do not have the energy to make something to eat..lol
This is where processed crap would come in handy :)
