Here was today's wod:
Tabata-
pullups
pushups
situps
airsquats
My total score was 178. Not bad and pretty sure I had almost 200 but I lost count while doing the pushups....oh well. I worked out hard and that's what matters to me most right now. lol! I did try to do assisted pullups with a band for the first time today! YAY me! I used a black band (which is the tightest thus the most help) and for the last couple rounds my trainer added a blue band for a little extra help! But I did about 15 during the 8 tabata rounds so it felt great to be over with the real people! lol :)
Anyways, diet was pretty good today. I have decided that I am not going to do the whole30 diet right now. I am going to work on doing as close to paleo as I can, but mostly just what you have been doing and cut out sugar and flour.
Breakfast-Special K/banana
Lunch-Greek Chicken Salad
Dinner-cheesestick and 2 applesauce cups (I know weird, but I was at work so I was just snacking!) hehehehe
It doesn't look like I ate much looking back, but I wasn't terribly hungry today. That's one nice thing about being at the end of my period, my appetite decreases and I don't have near as many cravings. I ate like total crap last week! It's so weird that we are on the same cycle....that's a little Twilight Zone weird.... LOL :)
Anyways, I got your awesome letter in the mail late in the day! What a nice suprise! So sweet of you to send me a sample of Roma....can't wait to try it. I'll let you know.... Thanks for the beautiful card and sweet, uplifting words. I too am so glad we are "back together"! I love ya! Thanks again! Have a great Tues!

....the one where it felt good to sweat....
OK-I promised and I'm BACK!! Here was today's wod:
4 rounds for time-
15 medicine ball cleans
140 single unders
15 strict push-ups
My time was 20:37! Not too bad for "taking" a week off....lol! It felt so great to get back into the swing of things. I thought I would be dying but I actually felt great moving my body like I should be and the rowing was even a lot easier today. Oh and bonus, I went to the pool tonight and swan a few laps even! WOW-I forget what a workout swinmming is! My day went so much better and I had so much more energy! Never again will I excuse away a whole week of my life unless I am the one who is really sick! Not worth it! Oh well....moving onward and upward-
FOOD DIARY
Special K pre-wod/muscle milk post-wod
chicken noodle soup and 1/2 french dip (and a diet pepsi)
yogurt with strawberries
2 pepperjack cheese sticks mixed in with a small Wendy's chili (YUMMO)
yogurt with strawberries
OK-so not too bad, but tomorrow will be better! I am seriously debating whether or not to try the diet that a lot of members are doing at my box. It is called the whole30. Have you heard of it? I am "studying" it right now because it is SUPER DUPER strict and to get the maximum benefits you cannot cheat even once so I really want to be prepared. It is like paleo on steroids....lol! Anyways, I'm not I have the will power to do it, but it does make me wonder if all my aches and pains and headaches and even depression stem from what I eat and this is definitely the way to find out what foods affect your body and in what way. here is the website if you want to check it out: www.thewhole9.com
If I did this I know it would change my life and in combo with crossfit I would be a different person entirely. It would be the hardest thing I have ever done....even harder than crossfit for me personally. Food is a huge issue for me....blah, blah, blah....anyways, I kinda want to do it just to prove to myself that I can. Does that make sense!?
Anyways, like superman said (lol), I won't let you down again. Thanks for hanging in there with me through my tough week. By the way, your wods are awesome as of late and I am seriously impressed with your times and your strength! You are making HUGE strides! Oh, and did you and Andy check out that video I posted about the guy doing the pistol squats....crazy! I bet Andy does that, huh!? Take some more pics if you can....I might measure this week and see if I've lost some inches.

5 jumping pullups
10 decline pushups off the 24" box

RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!...ok, well i'm not totally giving up sugar if i'm eating nutella or tapioca pudding or protein bars...but i gave up all the "hard stuff"...junk food....sweets....candy...soda...baked goods...cocoa....etc.....
Hope your diet is going great!

Food Diary:
protein shake
1 egg and toast and chocolate milk
protein bar
chicken noodle soup
some doritos, and a fruit leather thing

....the one where i didn't finish my wod....
so today was the "filthy fifty". SO HARD! you can do the exercises in any order except you have to do the burpees and the jump ropes last so that's why i didn't do those last 2.
50 push press (35#)
50 wallballs (6#)
50 kb swings (18#)
50 back extensions
50 lunge steps
50 jumping pull-ups (the hardest thing for me today!)
50 knee to elbows (modified of course..i can barely get my knees up a couple of inches)
50 box jumps
50 burpees
150 single jump ropes (50 double unders is the rx, but i can't do these yet.)
someday (not today....) i will be able to finish this wod in under 40 minutes! that's one of my goals!
so I did all of the exercises except the last 2 (burpees and jump ropes). i was so seriously close to puking and i was shaking so bad i couldn't stand up so my trainer "called it" and told me that i had done enough for the day. it felt really weird to not finish a wod although i did give it my all. the reason i think i didn't do as well is because i missed the first 3 days this week and have been in bed so much....but, like you said (I LOVE btw) tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it so all i can do is just try a little bit harder tomorrow. "try a little harder to be a little better." -pres. hinckley (i believe said this??) :)
so here's my food for today (in my mind i am still "celebrating" my b-day so this week is kinda out the window as far as being healthy..owell!)
breakfast-frosted mini-wheats
snack-yogurt with strawberries
lunch-cafe rio pork salad (YUMMO!)
dinner-tomatoe soup with crackers
dessert-(ok, how about nightly snack..lol!) more yogurt with strawberries
ok, looking back not that bad but the salad is definitely not a "healthy" salad if you know what i mean....it's a loaded, creamy pile of deliciousness! definitely will try to drink more water tomorrow and not eat after 7 or eight at night.
anyways, i really hope i get that "package" from you in the mail....if it is what i think it is i am super excited to get it!! you will know for sure as soon as i get it k!

...this one wasn't that bad....
Ok, i should've done more today...the wod was a challenge but i was never dying and totally out of breath, which i've come to expect from my wods...lol...
So it was 5 rounds of:
20 back extensions
5 (50lb.) push jerks
i finished in 8:51 minutes...i feel like i could've added another exercise to the wod as well as maybe use 60 lbs instead of the 50lbs...owell...live and learn...
food diary:
protein shake
breakfast: (i was on the go so this was it today) protein bar
snack: missed my snack today :(
i hate when i get so busy that i forget to eat my snacks...
lunch: pb and jelly on wheat bread with glass of milk
snack: also forgot my afternoon snack...hate that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dinner: baked chicken, mashed potatos with gravy and green beans with glass of milk
hot cup of roma
this is it today...my goal for tomorrow is to focus on getting 2 healthy snacks in during the day...

...the one when my arms were on fire...
Todays wod was harder than i thought it would be....i've been getting better at my real pushups and so i thought i could do todays wod easy....it was anything but easy...
AMRAP 15 minutes
250m row
25 real pushups ( i didn't cheat, not even once)
I was able to do 5 rounds in about 14 minutes and then i stopped because i realized i didn't know where my keys were to my locker...i must have dropped them...i'm still not sure how it happened, but all of a sudden they were gone and someone found them and turned them in to the front desk...so relieved...I was definitely thanking God for that one...sheeesh....
Todays food diary:
protein shake of course
breakfast: 2 overeasy eggs, whole wheat english muffin and whole fresh grapefruit
snack: i think i had a glass of milk or something like that...can't remember...
lunch: leftover enchilada and corn
snack: homemade protein bar
dinner: slow cooked pork loin, shells and cheese (we have a lot of mac and cheese at my house...i'm sure you remember how much Andy loves it? so do the kids...i'm falling in line! LOL)
and roasted asparagus...mmmmm...so good...and a glass of milk.
snack: frozen fruit bar (about 60 calories...you can buy them where you get the lunch sized fruit and jellos and stuff)
Pretty good food day!

awesome yummy protein bars!!!!
This is something both Andy and I love as well as Zion....
perfect for a mid morning or afternoon snack...full of vitamins,
protein...and tastes like chocolate peanut butter! yum!!! i added
chopped almonds and chia seeds to the recipe... you should try to
include protein in your snacks.....like nuts and stuff...well these
cover the protein and satisfy a sweet tooth...they are sweet,
chocolatey, chewey...mmmm...i want one right now but i will
control myself...you keep them in the freezer...as you can see
i wrap them individually.
todays food diary
breakfast was a protein smoothie with frozen fruit, oj, skim milk and ice...mmmm
forgot to have a mid morning snack... :(
Lunch was a small taco salad and i think i also had some 1% chocolat milk (about 8 oz)
Afternoon snack was a couple cuties (little oranges) and half a slim fast snack bar...i had a bite of Andy's..normally i'd eat one...they are yum!
Also had one of those Nature Valley squares with peanut butter on them..ever seen them in the store?...yum!
Also drank from my water bottle all day...
Dinner was Mac N Cheese, broccoli, roasted chicken breast, 1% milk
And i'm proud to say that i ate til i was satisfied and saved the rest for lunch tomorrow! i love feeling satisfied but not super full...at first i didn't like it and wanted to keep eating...but i
don't get tummy aches any more from being too full and i don't miss the tummy aches...awesome!
(i probably only saved about 1/4 of my dinner for lunch tomorrow...)
I can't really remember what we ate all last week but i think we had tacos for dinner once and lasagna...i only had two tacos that night and on lasagna night i had one portion of lasagna, one piece of garlic bread and a good sized salad with ranch, crutons, tomatos, cucumbers...i usually have a small glass of milk with dinner...(1%) still has flavor, but not super fattening...
lets keep up this food diary!

...the one with pictures....
Today was another family day at the gym!
Andy and I did our wods at the same time but they weren't the same because mine had to be modified quite a bit...i can't do toes to bar or wall climbs yet!
So mine was 5 rounds for time of:
10 decline pushups
The last time i tried these i couldn't do one...been doing real
pushups in the mean time and now i can do a wod with decline
pushups...sweet!!!!!! it is amazing to know you're improving and
getting stronger!
10 situps with andy's abmat
20 box jumps (24")
This is my second wod with the 24" box. it is hard. but again, i'm
moving up and improving and it feels great!
I finished in 15 minutes and 15 seconds.
It was awesome!!!

...the one with running! (yuck)...
I did a modified HERO wod today!
It went like this:
AMRAP 20:
6 squats holding a 14 lb medicine ball
7 jumping pullups
10 (25 lb) kettlebell swings
run 200 meters (was suppose to be 400 but the first time i ran 400 my sides starting hurting so i knew i had to modify it for the rest of the rounds to be able to get through the running part. i really don't like running because i almost always get a side cramp)
I completed 8 rounds and then i finished all but the running in the 9th round (not complaining that i didn't have to do the last round of running- my time was up!!! )
Felt great! I've really needed my wods this week. it has been an especially difficult week...many trial and stressors...thank goodness it's almost over!

....the one on friday, day #5....
ok so today's wod was as follows:
1000m row
300 single jump ropes
100 lunge steps
100 box jumps
50 push ups
whew....my time was 30:15 (something close to that....never the less, it was a looooong wod!)
i need a rest day. but i am so proud of myself for going everyday this week. it feels great to have set a goal and to accomplish it! nest week same goal-the box everyday! and i will really focus on my "diet" next week and see if it will make a difference on the scale. so far really no weight loss, but my pants are getting a bit looser and so i think i am losing inches. i will measure again on monday and do another set of pics.
hope you have a great weekend! i am going to walk with my new shape-up shoes for exercise on sat and sun and hit the box hard again on mon!

....the one where i did fran for the first time....
So that's Spealler in the far left hand side of the pic. I wish I could have been there to see him. They said he did 76 pull-ups during his 3rd and final wod. WOW!
OK-so today was Fran....'nuff said. LOL!
21-15-9
Thrusters (33# for me)
Pull-ups (modified for me)
My time was 8:22. Not too bad I guess. :) I am really dragging today though. I have gone to the gym every week day this week and I am really feeling it....I am going to push through and go again tomorrow though and at least accomplish one of my goals that I set this week..going to the box every week day. Looking back on my week, I am so proud of myself for going everyday! It feels great.
So anyways I don't know if Andy told you or not but Chris Spealler was at Wasatch Crossfit on Saturday. They had a New Year's comeptition there and he was in the first heat that started at 9am and of course that is the one I missed. I got there at 1pm....
...the one where i beat my time!!!...
I am so excited about today's wod!!!
I did this same wod on november 17th and my time was 16:32 minutes.
Today i did it in 13: and some seconds (can't remember exactly)!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beat my time by about 3 minutes!!! i'd say that's an improvement!
Here's the wod-
5 rounds for time of:
20 burpees
15 air squats
10 crunches
I did a total of 100 BURPEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did 75 Air Squats!!!
and I did 50 crunches in just over 13 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!
Woo HOO!
Talk about feeling amazing after a wod...
Hal-el-u-yah!!!!!!!

....the one with front squats...
Sorry this is late...i actually did this wod yesterday but got too busy to post it. and i didn't do a wod today because my calves were so sore...i'm sure i could've come up with something to do that would'nt include my legs so much, but my list of things to do today overwhelmed me...anyway, i'm definitely doing a wod tomorrow! i don't like how i feel when i miss a day!
So my wod yesterday was:
5 rounds of 3 front squats using maximum weight.
I used 95 pounds...tried to do 105lb. but only did one or two with that and than i had to go back down to 95lbs for the rest of them.

....the one with a new pr....
So here are a couple pics of me doing Monday's wod. It was 4 rounds of 21 front quats (25#) and 100 single under jumpropes. And again, didn't get my time....whoops. This was a great wod and my trainer said my squats were looking much better. When I first started I could barely do like 3 air squats in a row and yesterday I did 84 squats with 25# so I think I have come a long way! I feel so much stronger! :)
So today's wod went like this:
5-5-5 deadlifts (we worked up to our maximum weight and I got a new personal record of 103 pounds! YAY me!)
then AMRAP in 12 minutes:
4 strict pull-ups (modified still for me)
8 strict push-ups (modified on my knees/chest all the way to floor)
12 kb swings (26# for me)
I got a total of 7 complete rounds! I was pretty happy with that. :)
So anyway, I think I am addicted too. LOL! I love how crossfit makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. I think of everything from "boring" church meetings to neverending laundry as a "wod" and just think in my head, one more round..one more rep..you're almost done..think how great you will feel..push through the pain..etc. I love how it is affecting my whole outlook on life. I have so much more energy and I love the feeling of the soreness of my muscles and the adrenaline rush I have right after a wod. This is great stuff! LOVE IT!
Well, so far I have made it to both wods this week so I doing good on my goal for this week which was to go to the box every weekday this week. My other goal, which will have to start tonight because last night I totally screwed up, is to not eat after 7pm.
Good luck the rest of the week! I am almost below 200 pounds so that is exciting! Maybe by the time I turn 34 I can be 199.... :)

...the one where my thumbs went numb...
Today's first wod of 2011 was really good!
Here's how it went:
3 rounds for time of:
400m run
30 (30lb) overhead squats
10 real pushups
finished in 20 minutes and 48 seconds!
I think i pulled something in my upper bicep cause it hurts now! and my thumbs always go numb when i do overhead squats...i must be holding the bar wrong...though, i don't think i am. anyway, i feel awesome! Crossfit rocks! i am officially addicted....i used to laugh at Andy when he'd have to go a day without doing a wod and he'd be yearning to go all day...LOL...now that's me...love it love it love it!...i remember my first month or so i was like "it sucks but i'm making myself go because i know i'll see results"...now i'm like, "i can't go a day without doing a wod or i feel like a loser"...LOL....and Andy and I are going the whole month of January without sugar...Wanna do it with us Liesl?????? i have done this before and i easily loose 5-10 lbs...yeah, sure, i get crabby and have withdrawls for sugar, but i'm allowing myself to have herbal tea with honey or roma with sweet creamer in it...and fruit also helps take the edge off...and we're doing lowfat chocolate milk too..just none of the really good stuff...no baked goods, except whole grain, no cookies, cake, pie, soda, lemonade, candy, etc....i will eat granola bars...etc...anyway, wanna do it with us Liesl??? i dare you to do it and see yourself lose like 10 lbs!!!!!! ..might even be more since you're doing crossfit too!
