Finally No Nausea!!!

I am SO excited about today's post!!  Today was the first day so far that I felt AWESOME after my workout!  It was still hard, I will still be very sore, but my mentality is great!! 

Things I learned today:

1. I can do much more than I give myself credit for.
2. "Double Unders" are the DEVIL!  If you click this link, this guy will show you how to do them and he makes me sick because he can do them so well...lol.
3. It's not as easy as you'd think to swing your toes up to the bar while hanging from said bar.

Today's WOD was 

Skill: Toes to Bar

WOD: 

3 Rounds for time [My time today was 15:14]

30 Double Unders or Double Under Attempts (no singles) [This means you only get to count either an actual double under or an attempt at a double under.]

20 Toes to Bar [I did knees to waist]

10 Dips [I used small dip bar]

So this morning my alarm went off at 5:30 and I almost stayed in bed.  I thought, well....I'll just wait until the 8am class.  I know me.  I cannot already start allowing myself excuses to not get up and go as I planned.  I got up & had my usual banana, bottle of spark, and two catalyst supplements.  Grabbed my gloves that I bought last night because I really don't want torn up hands due to all of the bar work we do.  I very reluctantly drove to the Box, for the third day in a row thinking there's no way I can do any of this due to how sore I am.

Missy was our coach as usual.  Started right up with a warm up of two laps around the building running frontwards then two laps around again running BACKWARDS!!  Are you kidding me?!  Yeah...backwards running sucks.  Continued the warm up inside with a few other things then went on to the WOD.  I had a complete moment where I actually almost teared up when I did 3 double unders in a row!  If you have never tried a double under, I challenge you to do it.  All it is is jumping rope, but swinging the rope twice under you in one jump.  Seems easy enough right?  WRONG!  Try doing 30 of those!  Try 10!!  Try 3!  Those things are HORRIBLE and almost impossible for this chick at this point.  However, once I did the 3 in a row my mood totally shifted.  I almost couldn't keep the smirk off my face!

Came home and took my shower, stretched in the shower (so cool that my shower is large enough for me to do that) and I STILL do not feel like puking!!  I am making progress!!!  My hands are starting to callus and I'm not a fan of that.  That's the reason I bought the gloves.  I can't imagine what my hands would look like if I didn't use them.  Even with the gloves my hands are still being affected.  Anywho...I'll be back at 6:30 tomorrow morning and that will complete my first week of CrossFit!!!
