CFJax.com - 7.2.09

So much for my vow to eat fewer carbs on the weekends. Yesterday was a lazy day and I didn't do a single thing. We planned to take my nieces to the zoo, but it rained all day long. I have to remember that if I don't do anything, I'm more tempted to snack throughout the day.

Warm-Up:
5 min. jump rope
20 Ring Rows
5 ring dips (band-assisted)
20 ball sit-ups

"Nancy" (scaled):
5 rounds for time of:
400m Run
45# Overhead Squats x 15

Time: 21:25
--Round 1: 3:46 (@ 8mph on treadmill)
--Round 2: 4:22 (@ 7.5mph)
--Round 3: 4:33 (@ 7.0mph)
--Round 4: 4:23 (@ 6.5mph)
--Round 5: 4:21 (@ 6.5mph)

Phew, really ran out of gas on the runs. I think this low carb diet is getting to me on the metcons. Hopefully it'll even out once my body gets used to it and/or I start getting healthier protein sources (i.e. meat).

I hit my stride with the OHS on the 3rd round. They finally started to feel somewhat normal and not as if I was teetering on the edge of falling with each rep:).

"Nancy" - Day 72

I'm going to attempt the "Pack" level today. Whoo hoo, moving up in the world! ;)

I've noticed that Brandx has started posting "Buy-Ins" and "Cash-Outs"... I probably am not going to start these yet, the WOD is enough for me. It seems like I'm seeing these terms everywhere all of a sudden. Must be the new thing with CrossFit...?


Warm-Up:
5 min. jump rope
5 min. punching bag
10 push-ups
10 jumping pull-ups
20 ball sit-ups
10 KTC's
3 burpees

“Nancy” (Pack):
Five rounds for time of-
400m run (~0.25mile)
45# Overhead squat, 15 reps XX 10 REPS

Time: ~20:00 - I must have hit the stop button when I checked the timer after round 4. I'm really bummed about this!
--Round 1: 3:42
--Round 2: 3:57
--Round 3: 4:02
--Round 4: 4:03
--Round 5: ~4:16

I was really not feeling this when I started out. The warm-up was hard, and I was not motivated; the first two rounds of the WOD were the same. But while running on the third round, I started thinking about that video of the girls at the qualifiers and decided to quit being a negative nancy (pun intended) and to just get in the game. Second two rounds were miraculously easier with my head in the right place!

I decided to scale this back to 10 OHS reps because my form isn't so great and my arms were SERIOUSLY TIRED!:)
