Checking in...hope everyone is well. I've seen you all occasionally and you guys are still doing great. It's the summer, there's parties, gatherings all the good stuff. Just try to satisfy your cheats quick and get back on track. If I know I'm cheating I eat ACAP (as clean as possible haha) up to that cheat and then I just really destroy and indulge. Then immediately get back on the wagon. You all know exactly what I'm talking about!!! I really enjoy the comraderie we share. Though I don't blog enough or see any of you on the regs this assessment is still really super important and awesome and means a hella lot to me! Keep crushing and the results at the end will be WELL worth all the hardwork and blood/sweat/no tears.
I am doing pretty good. Training is just beyond awesome. The programming Jason has me doing is amazing to say the least. These WODs often kick the shit out of me and beat me down but I just love it. Super sore after today's WOD: (and this is a de-loading week)
Warm up:
One Arm DB snatch
alternating arms
6 x 25#
6 x 55#
4 x 70#
2.2.3.3 @ 100#
then,
3 kb swings 100#
5 burpee squat box jumps 24" box
50m sprint @ 100% (flat out as fast as you can sprint)
x 6 rest 3 minutes
then,
Hang power clean practice
5/7/9 @ 95# practice catch and high elbows
My ass, hammys, and heals are all killing me right now so I know I crushed that shit today. But I actually didn't eat enough. Ate clean except 4 oreos. After this weekend I will completely dial in the diet for as long as I can keep it together mentally.
Lastly, I'm having a huge mega rager at my house on Saturday starting at 2PM in case some of you didn't receive the invite. PLEASE COME!!! I promise you all it will be the party of the year...PROMISE!!!
Sleepy Time : )

Amanda M...Day 159 & 160
Happy 4th of July everyone! Hope you all had a great day!
The past two days were so-so. Tuesday I went to work and right afterwards I had to attend a party with the bf. Had a cheeseburger and some fruit salad. The Stratford fireworks were good!
Yesterday I went into Port Jeff. Got some seafood (not a favorite, but I go where everyone else wants to go) aaaand some ice cream. Whatever, it was hot as balls and I had been walking around all day. WITHOUT my boot, might I add. My foot didnt and doesn't hurt one bit. I'm beginning to question my doctor's diagnosis. Maybe it was just tendonitis or something simple like that. I'll be going to the store to get some real inserts for my shoes this weekend. Hopefully I won't continue to have any problems.
No WODs the past two days. Summer is always nuts. Back at it tonight :-)

Maria Week 24 Day 3
HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!! Slept about 7 hours, woke up a couple of times but went back to sleep easily. Started the day off with a sweat fest on the Airdyne:
5 minute AD warm up
+
20 seconds on moderate pace
20 seconds all out effort
2 minute rest
+
20 seconds on moderate pace
20 seconds all out effort
2 minute rest
x12
+
5 minute cool down
When I did the math this was only 4 minutes of work (not counting the warm up and cool down), but I was SOAKED. I love sweating like that. Food today:
7:30a- 3/4 C egg whites with LOTS of spinach and broccoli, 1 TBSP fish oil
10:45- 16 oz organic juiced greens
2pm- 2 chicken thighs, a BOAT LOAD of cabbage, brussels sprouts, okra, and lettuce
7:20pm- 6 oz tilapia, 2 C cooked Kale
Total temptation today at a family picnic, lots of tortilla chips, potato chips, cake, cookies, cashews (I really had to pray to God to keep me away from those), and I didn't touch any of it! It is so easy to start feeling sorry for myself when I see everyone else enjoying those things, but after the temptation is gone it feels so good to not have any guilt about what I ate.

I am still here!!! Actually, I have been great, just very busy and exhausted at night. Summer time with the kids! Things have been going really well, I have really cleaned up my food, basically eating only lean protein, green vegetables, and olive oil. No fruit, no nuts. I have been feeling so much better. My only problem has been getting enough sleep. I know my workouts would be better if I went to bed earlier!

Amanda M...Day 158
Sleep: Finally gave in and put my window A/C unit in my bedroom. Been sleeping like a teenager--I think this is the more appropriate term as babies don't sleep through the night. Who came up with that analogy??
Food: Paleo all day besides dinner. Had some shredded cheese and ranch on my salad. And perhaps a spoonful or two of nutella--not on the salad, but as a dessert I guess you could say. That shit is addicting. My roommate always buys the damn stuff. I like how commercials make it seem like its healthy. That is why Americans are obese!
WOD!!!!! Finaly!! I got back to the gym. Went easy on the front squats just because I haven't technically been cleared by the doc to workout so I didn't want to go crazy. In fact, my doctor hasn't said or told me a damn thing so F him, I'll feel it out on my own. I did the fitness workout instead of performace too...KB swings, lunges and sit ups. Man, my ass is sore lol it feels so good to be sore again. Had to remind Jay of my foot when he came over and 'yelled' at me for not putting enough weight on the bar. He was a bit concerned for me but I know my body, its all good!
No pain in my foot this morning but still wearing the boot to work just in case.
Happy 4th of July everyone!!! Try not to indulge too much :-)

Hi All,
Hope you had a great weekend. I know I did! I walked around all weekend without my boot and had no pain in my foot at all. So, I don't really know if it is completely healed but it feels pretty damn good to not be limping around. I will still wear my boot this week at work but you better believe my ass is getting back in that gym today. For this week I'll be skipping any running, jumping or DU's and will stick to the Fitness workouts just in case and to see how my foot holds up. I don't want to rush back into performance workouts and chance hurting it again.
Did you know that On the Border puts their calories on the menu now? Man, was that a wake up call! The salads were 1200 calories on their own! I'm excited for more places to be doing this...America needs to realize what they are doing to themselves!
Have a good day guys! Blog blog blog
