WOW, I have a lot to post about! Therefore I will be posting all the workouts I've done for the past two weeks in this one blog. I've been really busy and went on vacation so I just haven't found the time to blog, but for my records and for those of you who actually read this, I must go on! :-)
Let's start with Wednesday, July 31st. I didn't work out the Tuesday before because I over slept.
*****************************
Wednesday, 31st WOD: Skill: Push Jerk
3rds for time: [Me: 14:35]
40 d/u or 120 singles
10 Push Jerk (115/75) [Me: 35lbs]
10 Chest to Bar Pull Ups [Me: Assisted by green & purple bands]
10 Pistols
Considering at this point I was still afraid to do anything because of my back, I think I rocked this workout :-) I'm getting better at pistols too!!

Thursday, August 1st WOD: Skill: Med Ball Clean
30-20-10-10-20-30, 30 min cap
Jumping Squats
Med Ball Clean (20/14) [Me: 10lb ball]
Med Ball Sit Ups
WHOA... This is the first time I've done a workout like this. You have to do 30 of all things listed, then 20 of them, then 10, and so on. This was HARD! My poor quads were about to explode. I mean seriously, burning really bad. I took the entire 30 minutes for this workout and still didn't finish. Came close though! The only thing I didn't finish was the Med Ball Clean and the Med Ball Sit Ups on the very last 30.

Okay now for my break. I didn't go workout the next day which was Friday, August 2nd, because to be completely honest I just didn't want to. My legs were sore, I was tired, I had to get my Scentsy stuff packed up and ready because I had a booth that day at the Salon that I go to once a month. I just didn't feel like getting up at the crack of dawn to workout. The day after this, Saturday the 3rd, some family and I went to San Antonio until Tuesday the 6th. The amount of walking, climbing, and sweating I did that Sunday and Monday should've definitely been enough to make up for days of CrossFit workouts! HAHA! It was incredibly hot and we pretty much walked the entire two days at Schlitterbahn and Sea World.
The next day after we got back I was still too exhausted to workout. I pretty much chilled all day and did some laundry, etc. Normal house stuff that I was slacking on.

Thursday, August 8th WOD: Skill: Turkish Get Up
3rds for time: [Me: 21:21]
75 D/U (210, attempt D/U every 10)
5 Turkish Get Ups (75/45) [Me: 15lb kettle bell]
5 Back Squat (135/95) [Me: 60lbs]
I liked this workout!! It was a great combination of cardio and weights. My calves didn't love all the jumping rope, but that's okay :-) Feeling back on track today that's for sure.

Friday, August 9th WOD: Skill: Pull Ups
AMRAP 20 [Me: 9 rounds]
5 Pull Ups [Me: Assisted only by one green band!!]
10 Push Ups
15 Squats
OMGsh so pumped about today!!! I started out with a green band and a red band (the red band being a step smaller than the purple band I'd been using) to assist on my pull ups. I was excited to see that I am getting stronger! Well after the first round or two I took off the red band!!!!! Only one green band to do my pull ups!!! I CANNOT wait until I can do them with no bands. Looks like I'll get there sooner rather than later! I think I did a great job on today's workout, but let me tell you. I regretted not taking some advil beforehand. My head felt like it was just gonna pop and I felt very nauseous for the next hour or so after I finished the workout. Gotta start eating better for sure and remember my advil!
*****************************
Now for TODAY!
Today's WOD: No skill (actually I need to improve on my breathing skills! ;-)
1 mile run [Me: Completed in 11:35]
150 d/u or 300 singles, each 10 attempt d/u
HOLY, HOLY, MOLY. I need to eat better so I can breathe!!! I feel like my lungs can't keep up with my muscles! That being said, not too shabby on my time considering the poor diet I have! Felt great after my workout today and ready for tomorrow!!
