and.....
I am back to WODing!! yay!!! two weeks was a long time and I am supposed to go easy and light.. thats not happening.. no problems so far.. Snatch killed me today after the row,, first round did 55 lbs but had to take it back to 45 in order to not break! around 308 meters in row.
May day!
great meeting everyone! I am happy that people are finally starting to get comfortable enough to really allow themselves to become vulnerable and let the process and the people in the group help! Lets face it everyone in the group signed up for it because we need help.... I am the first to admit that I am a much better facilitator than participant and I feel like i am always saying do as I say not as I do... so I will try to blog more.. and open up more.. its hard to allow yourself to let go... but its time...we have 8 months to go!! time is ticking and sometimes I fel like I havent even started yet!!

Maria Week 15 Day 2
Went to bed at 10:30p up at 4:50am. Woke up once in the middle of the night.
5:30am WOD- 90s row, 15 HH Snatch, double unders- worst: 320/5 (I don't know what happened there) best: 345/17 33# bar for the HH snatches
8:45am- 1 C homemade veggie soup, 2 oz flounder, 1 tsp fish oil
10:30am- 3 oz chicken breast, 1 tsp olive oil, mixed veggies :brocc, caul, squash, carrots
12:20pm-3 oz calamari, spaghetti squash, 1 1/2 oz avocado
3:30pm- salad with 3 oz chicken breast, 1 1/2 oz avocado, 1 TBSP olive oil
5:45pm- homemade veggie soup, rotisserie chicken breast
plan on having sleepy time tea later on before bed
Good day today, it was quiet at work, and that is dangerous. In the past I have turned to eating out of boredom. Didn't do it today! I texted with people from the gym instead and it was such a great help.

Day 98
Amanda's post got me emotionally fired up...good stuff kid!!! I said everything I had to say last night so I'm moving forward. I've been sleeping great except not long enough. 5-6 hours tops. Almost always closer to 5 hours. I actually like training at 5:30am but I crash crazy hard around 2-3pm. Green tea barely does anything. I fully expected to crush the WOD today but I just really had nothing. I was disappointed. When I knew I wasn't going to accomplish what I thought I would in the WOD for distance on the row I mentally broke down. I got in a negative mind set and that made it totally worse. I did scale up on the HPS and the weight was still light but I broke like a bitch each round...I was just slow today. Slow and tired. Plan on getting in bed early. Like 8pm if I can...SO LAME!!!
Food was all good, the regular Tilapia, ground turkey jazz. My co-worker did bring me in a huge portion of rice and beans with pork and like a good boy I split it with my buddy at work so I didn't eat it all. Hitting Plan B for food now...I'll get the bourbon BBQ tenders (grilled) and some type of burger in the grass or a specialty salad with nothing special in it.
Fight the good fight kids!!!

Here's the truth...
I didn't want to think about the YLA as a support group because I seriously thought I had it all under control... I was following my healthy eating plan, beginning marathon training, thoroughly enjoying life, and the numbers showed great results back when I last checked with Jay.
Then I started overtraining which completely messed up my body. I was doing two-a-days constantly, back to back WODs and 6-mile runs, etc. I kept pushing myself too far without any recovery. I was exhausted, sick (puking), and even missed my period... kinda sounds like pregnancy symptoms! I had to see the doctor to make sure everything was okay, physically. I was MIA from the blog for about two weeks when dealing with all that... I just didn't want anyone to know. So no... I wasn't pregnant but overtraining just seriously messed me up.
Then a series of terrible events took place on the job front... I became more stressed out than ever, when my two supervisors quit, and in essence, I was given all of their work, expectations, and deadlines. I am absolutely miserable now at work. Everyday, I think about quitting. I'm tearing up in the break room as I'm writing this because being here makes me so unhappy. I dread coming here in the mornings.
So anyway... This is not affecting my workouts. I run, do WODs, and yoga regularly (no more crazy two-a-days though). I definitely feel on track with the fitness aspect of things. But all of the work stress is affecting my persona. I'm normally such a fun, happy person, and my job is sucking all of the joy out of me.
I eat really well during the week, have an occasional cheat on the weekends, drink a few glasses of wine here and there... But maybe I need to talk to Dr. Jamie about things because my pants feel tight! I feel so uncomfortable.
Something really has to change. If blogging and accountability will help... I'll try it out again. But I just didn't want this to become my way of venting about all the extra shit and baggage I'm dealing with outside of the gym. So I'll keep it to a minimum and try to stay focused.
Thanks for listening and reading!

Amanda M...Day 98
Quick post...didnt have time to blog last night!
Sleep: slept great, although I felt like complete shit yesterday. I felt exhausted!
Food: eggs, sausage, orange, carrots, salad......leftover pizza for dinner........paleo cake....not the best start of the week but whatever!
WOD: Oh strength days...I have a love and hate relationship with them. I love easing into the week, but they do bore me sometimes...especially when pullups are involved. Tonight's WOD looks INSANE, kinda pumped
So glad to see everyone last night but I have to say that I am a bit disappointed at the same time. The excuses for not blogging were all over the place. Yes, it's time consuming...yes, sometimes people dont comment or say what you need to hear...yes, sometimes it gets repetitive.We signed up for a year and its only been 4 months and more than half of us gave up blogging a long time ago. If it weren't for our meetings, I would have no idea how anyone was doing. The whole point of this was to be a support group...I feel like I have no more support! You don't have to blog everyday (I only do it because it personally helps me stay on track) but at least check in once a week to let us know that you're still doing well...or that you've completely fallen off! We want to know :-)
