Out of shape

My girl slept in a little bit this morning and I was able to get in a itty-bitty workout! :)  And wow, I'm so out of shape.


3.5 min. walk/run (paused to check on dogs and my male boxer stole the treadmill from me:)haha!)
10 air squats
20 ball sit-ups
20, 10lb. KB swings
10 air squats

9.21.10 - "Michael"

My thighs/quads are burning today and it feels good:)haha.

Warm-Up:
5 min. walk
2 min. row
10 air squats
100 single unders


WOD - "Michael" (Buttercup scaling)
Three rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters (0.25 mile)
10 Back Extensions (subbed supermans)
20 Sit-ups (subbed one leg lifts, not cleared to do ab work until 8 weeks)

Time: 12:09
Round 1 - 4:11
Round 2 - 4:00
Round 3 - 3:58

9.19.10 - DL's & Push-Ups

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


WOD 9.19.10 (scaled):
Complete five rounds of:
Deadlift, 3 reps (@ 45lbs.)
Push-ups, 10 reps (against the wall if regulars are too much strain on the abs)


Time: 3:03 (all push-ups done against the wall)

Disappointed in the push-ups and the warm-up.  I wanted to get some push presses or jerks in, but my wrist is still acting up from holding the little one all the time with one hand.  I'm hoping it will heal soon b/c there are too many things in crossfit that require the use of both wrists! :)

On an exciting note, the hubs worked out with me tonight.  Well, we planned to do it together, but baby girl decided it was time to eat right as we were getting started so he did his workout while I watched and then I did mine.  It was still really fun, though, and I can't wait until we can actually do a workout together!

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.

New Blog - I'm Pregnant!

Well, I haven't posted here in FOREVER because I've basically done nothing but eat crackers, go to work, and come home to lay on the couch. The hubby has seriously had enough of my laziness:), but it was for a good cause because I'M PREGNANT! Finally...

I'm 11.5 weeks along now and we had our second ultrasound yesterday. Everything looked as it should, so we have announced the good news to our friends and family.

I've started a new blog, My Attempt at a CrossFit Pregnancy, to track my progess/symptoms/lack of activity:). I'm hoping to get into a schedule of at least 3 days a week of CF Mom workouts. This will be my first week back since I'm starting to get some relief from the nausea/fatigue.

Hope you guys check it out!

12.7.09

Warm-Up:
5 min. walk on treadmill @ 4mph
Joint mobility

WOD:
20 Single Unders
20 Squats
20 Single Unders

20 Single Unders
20 Ring Rows

20 KTC's

Untimed, but it felt great to finally be doing something resembling CrossFit again:).

Taking a bit of a break...

Well, it's no secret that I haven't been hitting it in my downstairs gym lately:). Unfortunately, it will probably continue, at least for a few more weeks. Due to a medical issue (not really ready to disclose it to the "world"), I am going to take it easy and basically just walk. I might do a few short metcons, but nothing that involves heavy lifting or overexertion. I can't wait to get back at it, but right now, it's just not worth the risk.

I'll be living vicariously through all my blog buddies, though! :)

This was tough for me today, had to take longer breaks than normal.

Elizabeth (scaled)

I found this awesome site on push-ups, the Art of Manliness, catchy:). I just love push-ups. It's something everyone can do (easily scaled) and they are fun. Progress is quickly measured as well, which I love.

Warm-Up:
Burgener w/u
2 sets of 5 x 75# deadlifts
5 x 1-band pull-ups
5 KTAs

Elizabeth (scaled):
55# HP Cleans, 21-15-9 15-12-9
Ring dips (2 bands), 15-12-9

Time: 6:04

I don't get where my strength has gone?! It's just disappeared. I guess that's what taking a few months off will do. Back to square one!

Last time I did this, I only did 45#'s, but I did them all unbroken and the rip dips were solid 1-banders (plus I did the full 21-15-9 on the HPC). This time the first 15 HPC were split and all the ring dips were incredibly shaky.
