OK- I know, I know, no updates for a while but be assured I have been working out! Just don't make time to sit down and do a post so please accept my apologies :) I am work right now and it is so slow so this is a great time to catch up! lol!
Oh and P.S., I have religiously been taking that emergen-c and I am still sick! WTH!!?? Oh well, I think I am going to go in for a physical and have some blood work done to make sure my thyroid is ok. Anyways, I totally understand how you said you felt the other day about being exhausted before you even started. I almost always feel that way when I am close to my period. My body and my metabolism just really sluggish....don't be discouraged about your weight! I don't know much about plateaus in weight (partly because I have never lost that much at one time! lol) but I do know they are normal and are to be expected. I think you are being too hard on yourself! Dieting is too hard and I too love food to much to think of ever having to give up something I love to eat forever. Ya you can probably guess how the paleo is going....not that great. I do ok for lunch and dinner, but breakfast is killer. I love my cold cereal, no way around it.
Anyways, I can't wait to see you and talk to you in person. Sometimes when I go to blog or message you on facebook my thoughts are going faster than I can type and I can never get out everything I want to say to you. So who gets to pick our wod for that Sat. morning!? LOL!
So here a brief re-cap of what I have been doing:
Todays wod:
AMRAP in 15 min.
1 rope climb (modified)
2 deadlifts (93#)
3 HSPU (modified on a box)
4 strict pullups (WOW-i can't even budge my body at all....totally had to use my legs!)
5 burpees
I did 5 full rounds so not too bad I guess. It seems like my warm-ups are sometimes harder than the actual wod sometimes but yesterday totally kicked my butt. It looked easy on the whiteboard, but I have never pushed myself so hard to finish a wod before. It felt great to push and almost puke! LOL
Tues. wod:
50 wallballs (10#-my heaviest yet!)
Run 400M (only stopped briefly to walk and catch my breath)
Row 500M
My time was 8 something, but I pushed through to end during my row and didn't stop until I was done and that felt amazing! I usually have to stop and catch my breath and even sit for a few seconds, but this one I went all the way through only stopping a couple times during my wallballs. I usually breakup a big count like the 50 wallballs in smaller groupings so I did 25 without stopping and then I did 15 and then my last 10. I know that doesn't sound like a big accomplishment but for me it is because of how I struggle with squats. And I usually use a 6# ball so going up to 10# was huge for me! This really makes me see that I am making progress.
Anyways, enough of my blabbering. I will try to keep up better, k. Love you tons! Hang in there....see ya soon!
holy crap Liesl! 10# wall balls?!!!!
