Amanda M...Day 196

Sleep was great. I was supposed to wake up for a run but I just could not get myself out of bed. I was so comfy and so out of it

Food. Same as yesterday. Although, I just ate a marshmallow with some dark chocolate. I was really craving something sweet...bad bad bad!!

WOD:
RDL
Dip holds
Good mornings

7 rds:
7 PC 75# RX
7 push ups
Finished 6:42

Felt a bit stronger today but still am slacking on the endurance. One day at a time

Thinking of doing a sugar detox. I am always craving sugar and carbs and I just want it to stop. Plus, it'll help with my weight loss, mood swings, etc etc. Going to start monday...who's with me?

Slept great and solid. Right through til my alarm went off.

Food:
B- yogurt
S- hard boiled eggs and strawberries
L- boiled chicken with smokehouse maple seasoning, side of broccoli
S- red peppers

WOD:
1 1/4 back squats 3.3.3 95/100/105
Squat cleans 5.4.3...only did the 5 and 4 because I pulled something in my leg and wanted to save some juice left for the WOD. Apparently I pulled my IT band in my quad, hurts like a bitch! Will have to roll out tomorrow

Thrusters 68lbs--abnormally light for me, but I was in pain
burpee pull ups--these make me feel like I can actually do a pull up lol I just use the short bar and jump up


Amanda M...Day 192, 193 & 194

Man, we're almost at day 200...where has the time gone?!

Good weekend. I have definitely calmed down my intense eating which is great. A few slip ups, but nothing horrible. I did go out drinking on saturday for the first time in over a month. I did not miss being hungover...ugh. It was fun to dance all night even though the DJ was AWFUL!!! If I wanted to listen to Katy Perry and Rhinna remixes all night, I would have just stayed home and turned on KC 101 in my living room.

It was SOOOO fucking hot. I had absolutely no motivation to do a workout. I honestly cannot wait for fall. Only another month of this shit!

Maria- I'M BAAAAAACK!

Got back this morning from the cruise- it was AMAZING.  For one week, I didn't worry about what I ate.  I ate everything I wanted, and loved it!!!!  I honestly can't remember the last time I did that.  And you know what?  It was pretty damn liberating.  AND I am not going to worry about it, say mean things to myself or obsess about the damage I did.  For once, I just want to be a NORMAL person, and just move on.  I am honestly tired of obsessing about how I look all the time, and my performance at the gym. It is like a full time job going on in my head. That being said, I did not miss a workout while on vacation.  I definitely got looked at funny during my WODS- Jay programmed a couple of doosies.  But of course I loved the WODS.  I even practiced HSPU off of the benches they had in the gym.  Looking forward to getting back into my routine!

Amanda M...Day 191

Slept solid. Woke up early to go for a run. Did almost 3 miles, hoping to continue to add more and more miles. I suck at running so its time to shut up and just get better at it

Food: clean all day despite dark chocolate covered almonds. They help me stay alive at work lol

WOD:
10-1 ladder of back squats and DL
6 sets of 15 sec of rope slams

Once again, looked easy on paper but it kicked my ass. Maybe I'm not eating enough or maybe the weather is just really rough. All I know is that my legs are shot and I could go to bed right now at 830 and sleep straight through til 630. UGH!!

Been another rough week, esteem wise. But I will be back to my old self shortly. Im starting to find my spark again..I missed it

Amanda M...Day 190

Sleep and food the same as yesterday. Went to bed a bit too late but I felt okay today throughout the day. Work really kept me on my toes...cant wait for the weekend.

WOD: Had no desire to do the performace WOD today. It was just too much for me to handle. I just knew I would have to modify everything so I just went with fitness.

10 Ring rows
200m run
20 lunges
50 jump rope singles

So much harder than I thought it would be. It was just as discouraging as the performance workout would have been. I keep getting caught up in how well I was performing before my injury and comparing it to how I am now. Just have to remember that its one step at a time. It didnt take overnight to do this damage so it wont be overnight that I fix it

Amanda M...Day 189

Slept great. Went to bed by 10 and was up by 530 to go for a morning run. The weather was perfect for it...nice and cool. I was out there for a half hour but not sure how far I ran.

Food:
B- yogurt
S- hard boiled eggs
L- chicken with sauteed onions, shredded sweet potato and zuchini, apple with almond butter
S- red peppers
Pre-workout- banana
Post-workout/Dinner- southwest meatloaf over some spinach with light sour cream

WOD:
1 1/4 shoulder press 6.4.6.4 45/55/55/60
Single leg DL: 38#...these were harder than they looked

2 min amrap of
KB swing- 35#
Row
SDHP- 58#
Burpees

I was wondering why we were only doing 1 round.....but after we were done, I figured out why lol that was rough.

Had a nice little chat with Nitro and Liz afterwards. Always a pleasure!
