Squats

Yesterday I warmed up with 0.5 mile run, horizontal pull-ups, ghd ball sit-ups and broomstick shoulder rotations.

For the work out, I did front squats, 10 reps. with a 45 lb. bar. Felt good, concentrated on form.

On Tuesday, I did the same thing, plus 15 (15lb.) kettlebell swings, but minus the ball sit-ups. I've also been concentrating on stretching to try to increase my flexibility. Thinking about enrolling in a yoga class or something.

Not feeling it

Well, I definitely wasn't feeling it last night. Did a warmup and did a few pull-up attempts, situps, etc. (btw - taking time off was a BAD idea when it comes to my pull-up work) and started to do the 12 burpees, 12 pull-ups WOD and after 7 burpees I was nauseated (more so than usual with burpees, which I HATE!). I think this not sleeping for the past 3 nights is really hurting me.

Tonight I'm going to run the 5K WOD, so hopefully I can crank that out. Don't really care about my time, I just want to try to complete it.

I'm also going to start doing 10 jumping pull-ups every day and see if that doesn't help me get a real pull-up.

Back In the Groove

Hopefully, at least. I ran for a little while this afternoon (in intervals) and vented some aggression on the punching bag. I also did some kettle bell swings (15lbs.). I didn't do the WOD, but I hope to get back on track doing the WOD's starting tomorrow. I just wanted to take it easy today since it's my first day back after a LONG time. I don't know what it is about fall/winter time... maybe it's the cold weather, maybe it's all the drinking and football, but it is SO hard for me to get motivated to work out. Today was a really nice day, though. :)

Slacker

Well, I've been off the Crossfit routine for 2 cycles now. I plan to start back up now that year end (CRAZY, BUSY, STRESSFUL time at my job) is over and I can get back on track.

I tried to start the zone diet with Adam and myself this week, but we didn't get past 2 days. I've still been trying to eat in the zone, but I haven't had as much time to get the meals prepared for Adam. I will work on this now that things are settling back again.

I'll post on Sunday for whatever WOD that day is (and Saturdays as well, since I'll be tailgating and won't have time for the WOD).
