Day 127...

You guys I'm so sorry I'm not blogging.  I will try to do better just crazy busy but that's not excuse!  Diet has been good but I've been craving carbs.  Had some cheats like a Polish Brats on a hot dog roll with grilled onions and Kraut with mustard.  Wish I had 6 of those.  Had some cookies and carrot cake also over the weekend...probably a little too much but hey c'mon I'm starving!  Then jumped back on the wagon and killed it since then.  Really hungry though.  Gonna mix in some baked sweet potatoes and strawberries for a bit.  The WOD's Jason has me doing are totally wearing me out but I think cause I'm out of gas cause I don't get enough carbs...we'll see.  As for the WODs they're sick.  Both in good and bad ways...of course.  What we're doing is totally working.  Example is Wednesday:
Wednesday
10 minute amrap
10 ring push ups
20 double unders
10 pull ups
200 meter run
(4 rounds)
rest 5 minutes
10 minute amrap
15 box jumps, 24″
10 T2B
500 meter row
(2 Rounds + 2 box jumps, just realized I was doing 10 box jumps and 15 T2B and I was in rough shape for the T2B, DUHHHHHH!)
rest 5 minutes
10 minute amrap
1 minute amrap double unders
20 calories on AD (AD had no battery so I just crushed for 1 minute)
10 push press @ 75#
(3 Rounds and :45 sec into AD, still completed round 4 after time expired)

Before this WOD I was a complete mental case.  How am I going to do all this shit?  I'm not going to get any rounds!  Maybe I need a rest day?  T2B...awww man!  I was kind of making mental excuses.  Then once I got all stretched out and I had 30 seconds before 3..2...1...GO it all came together.  My whole mind set changed.  I literally felt the training take over and was ready to go.  Two major things we are working on right now are lactate endurance and aerobic capacity.  The amount of volume I had to do in a relatively short amount of time with little rest was nuts.  I actually felt good in the 3rd 10 minute amrap.  I crushed double unders like no other (finally got a real speed rope from Rouge while I was at regionals).  I can't wait to do the Flight Simulator (some crazy double under WOD) again that I had to do in testing.  It's just really cool to see the programming working literally right before my eyes.  But with all that said I am beat and tired and hunger almost all the time.  Eat, Sleep and Hydrate...that's what's up! 

Amanda M...Day 127

Sleep: Bed at 11, up by 630

Food: Good all day, then came home after my workout and stuffed my face with marshmellows lol its my thing when I'm...you know ladies. I guess it could have been worse?

WOD: wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Sled pushes (RX), double unders, abmat situps, bench press (65#) it probably would have been harder if I pushed myself harder but I just don't have it in me this week. I'm just so tired and worn out from all the stress at work. Hoping next week will be better

Maria Week 19 Day 4

Bed at 11p, up at 6a- slept great.

8a- 3oz wild salmon, 1 C spaghetti squash

WOD:

A.1  HSPU, 4 x 5  rest 2 minutes
A.2  muscle up work on harness, 4 x 5-6, rest 2 minutes

+
For Time:
15  pull ups
50 push press @ 55#
1K row 

9:25

Okay, had to face my overwhelming anxiety and do HSPU with the harness on.  I could not even kick up for the first few tries, but then I got it.  I tried to get Jay to let me do the HSPU off a box and he said, "You will never get better unless you overcome this." He is right, I always stay within my comfort zone, but today I kicked it in the ass!  Thanks to coach Tim who worked the harness for me.  I am getting more comfortable with the muscle ups on the harness, it is actually kind of fun! Also did the pull ups unbroken which is a HUGE PR for me, felt strong today!

 

12p- 3 oz tilapia, 2 C lettuce, 1 C asparagus, 1/2 tsp fish oil

3:45p-HUNGRY- 3 oz chicken breast, 3 C homemade veggie soup, 1 tsp fish oil

6p- 4 oz wild salmon, 1 sheet sushi nori

7:30p- 6 oz turkey, 3 C brussels sprouts 

5.30.12- Morgan

1/2 cup quinoa w/ 1/4 cup berries & 2 tsp all-fruit spread
1 piece of Ekeziel bread with all-fruit spread
Spinach salad with chicken, zucchini, peppers
Salad with chicken, olives, tomatoes
Spinach with beans & salmon
1 piece of pork, broccoli, & peas

Cheats: Coconut ice cream & red wine

WOD: My previous 1 rep max back squat was 165, but today I could only squat 155. I felt defeated and mentally checked out after that. I dropped the weight on back and kinda starting tearing up after.

For the thrusters, in a previous WOD, I completed 3.3.3 at 95 lbs. Today I couldn't get past 85 for just 2 reps :( boo.

Amanda M...Day 126

Sleep: Bed at 11 up at 630

Food: Much better today...
Eggs and sausage
Spinach salad with tuna
Red peppers/carrots
Beef jerky
Southwest meatloaf with cauliflower rice and guac

WOD: Backsquats, thrusters and pullups
Only got up to 175# for the backsquat. My PR is 185 so I was less than happy about how poorly I performed. The weight went up easy but I'm just mad at myself for not going heavier.

Got to 115# for the thrusters.

Also went running tonight. Couldn't even run 2 miles without stopping....I've got some work to do. Hopefully my job will calm down soon so I can have my life back.

Overall not feeling very happy about how I did today. Definitely knocked me down a bit...

James P......and Welcome my new motivation Ava Skye!

7Hello All,
Sorry I have been slack on the blogging, but it was a big day in the Perrella household today! Ava Skye arrived at 7:05am after Gail waking me up at 1:30a saying it was go time. It was quick and Gail did so awesome. I know her training at CFM helped her achieve and successfulyl conquor her home birth plan.

As for my food choices ..not bad at all today. I had my lunch prepared which was a big salad. We had some Thai tonight and alot of coconut water and a few shakes in my over night mission.

Thanks for all the support I will be on when I can this week, but dont worry I am working hard on the food still. Going to be a tough week to WOD as expecting but I am sure Ava will keep me busy!

Yeah I know I kind of ate aimlessly for dinner instead of having a structured meal.  Fell short of my goal AGAIN.  Why do I have such trouble with this?  I used to just measure out my dinner in the morning so I could grab it at night.  I am going to have to start doing that again.  Left rotator cuff has been hurting from that harness!  Tough WOD tomorrow....
