Three WOD's

Over the past week or so, I've slowly started getting back into Crossfit.  The hubs has done it with me, which is awesome.  I didn't time the first two, just did them to completion (scaled).

Warm-ups were just very basic, sprints/runs, a few jump ropes.

First WOD:
12-9-6
Deadlift, 45#
Push-ups

Second WOD:
15-12-9
Front squat, 45#
KB swing, 10#

Today:
Row 1000M
Time: 6:30

Trying to get into a routine...

I hate that I've been MIA from the work-out scene for this long.  Baby girl is at a stage now where she's content to play by herself, somewhat, so I'm trying to get into a routine to work out at least three times/week.  This is my first week, so I'm going at it slowly.  I can't afford to miss sleep due to soreness (on top of missing sleep b/c of baby duty:)haha).  It's also QUITE depressing to see how much strength I've lost since becoming pregnant.  I feel like I worked so hard before to get close to doing a DH pull-up and now it's back to square one.  Oh well, no use crying over it now!

My plan is to work out on my lunch break while DH watches the baby for me.  This requires having lunch ready and baby settled (fed/changed) BEFORE he gets home.  It's quite a balancing act, and I'm sure I'll slip up, but hopefully I don't just GIVE up when I slip up.

So for this week, I've done:


Monday, 3.7.11 -
2 min. walk, 3 min. run (@5mph), 10 push presses (10#), 20 KB swings (15#), 10 push-ups (no knees!)


Tuesday, 3.8.11 - 
5 min. row, 10 push presses (10#), 10 push-ups, 10 KB swings (15#)
6 rounds of 100m sprints (5mph, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5mph).  Times ranged from 29 sec. to 49 sec.


Thursday, 3.10.11 - 
5 min. on treadmill (2 min. walk, 3 min. run at 5mph), 10 push-ups, 20 sit-ups (full ROM), 10 push jerks (10#)
Death by pull-up for me equated to 10 ring rows:).  That's it.  See-ya upper body strength! ;)

It's supposed to be a pretty weekend, so we plan to go to a St. Patty's Day parade downtown.  Lots of walking with baby in the ergo carrier (I hope!).

I'm also trying to get back into paleo.  It seems like as soon as I have a stressful day at work, or the baby doesn't nap ALL DAY LONG, I revert back to my early postpartum days of junk food eating.  I'm trying to curb this, and DH is helping. :)  It also seems to go hand in hand with exercising.  If I'm more active, I have a greater desire/motivation to eat healthy.  I'm not trying for 100% paleo yet (still eating steel cut oatmeal for BF reasons and other grains on occasion), but working towards healthy, somewhat paleo eating.

Back at it... post pregnancy:)

Well, today will be my first attempt at exercise since I had my baby/surgery. I plan to take it ridiculously easy just to see how things feel and where my starting point is. Wish me luck! ;)

Warm-Up:
5 min. walk
5 min. slow jog
10 air squats

WOD 9.17.10 (scaled):
Four rounds for time of -
Row 250m
Rest 1 minute

Time: 4:35
1 - 1:18
2 - 1:08
3 - 1:03
4 - 1:06

Felt AWESOME to finally be doing some kind of crossfit activity again. It was also pretty nice to row without a pregnant belly in the way:)haha. And my sweet angel slept through the whole workout, so I was even able to stretch and do a cool down.
