Did Monday on Tuesday...

WOD @ Home
30-20-10 reps of: (5:00 – 9:00 Finish Time)
Wall Balls (14#)
Burpees
Box Jumps (21″)
these 3 movements are on my suck list top 5 … esp wall balls since anything with a squat in it is a PITA… literally.
saw the cap and promised myself I’d finish sub 8 … um … not so much … 8:31 … i was moving along steady until i hit the wall at the end of round 2 (of course) … then it became a dog fight … in mud … this WOD was deceptive, brutal, and rather awesome.
Tanked Wednesday, Made-up on Thursday
T = tanked the diet @ 08.10.2011 at 5:04 pm
oooh…. i ate a snickers, a reeses, a whole whopper meal (bacon, cheese, fries, soda, you name it), 2 ice cream cones, and then a pack of zingers … feel kinda sick now.
I have 51 days until my wedding, 19% body fat, and raging headaches from no coffee/caffeine for the past week… I am dreading the WOD because I am a raging addict now and am having trouble staying “clean”… help.
Front Squat
Intermed – 6×3 @ 73% of 1RM Back Squat (125# ... I know it’s light, don’t judge me! I have work to do!)
I really struggled with the last few on set 6 … my rear is gonna be sore so I’m guessing I did something right… grow baby, grow!
PS: of all the squat movements, i really like front squats … not sure if it’s balance or the elbow thing, but I seem to move better here?
WOD for Time @ home
50 Double-Unders
10 Overhead Squats (55#)
40 Double-Unders
8 OHS
30 Double-Unders
6 OHS
20 Double-Unders
4 OHS
10 Double-Unders
2 OHS
6:34 ... I made a typo on the CFC blog by :10 ... but on the grander scheme of things, this should make no difference given how much work I have to do for the next 9 months.
This was fun. My double-unders have improved enough to makeup for my OHS weaknesses in terms of buying time back (unbroken until the last round) ... the shock was actually feeling strong enough to get OHS to depth without bottoming out each time and remembering all the cues from Kurt and Glenn ... "turn the dinner plates and pull the string up!" ... it's wierd, but it worked, it was tough, and it was (finally) ... legit
OHS still needs a lot of work, but I'm getting there. I liked the front squats. They seem the most comfortable. I hope I start to like them as much as I like double-unders now.

I glugged through 314 reps … I kinda expected that given how bad diet and undisciplined I’ve been as of late. Box jumps weren’t as steady and consistent as I’d like, pushups kinda died off a little early, pushand burpees just wouldn’t go faster.
Sunday 8/14
Expedition training and rescue tech stuff ... we were actually pretty good today. We moved along - anchors, fixed line ascents, 3:1/6:1 pulleys, heavy hauling, sandbag stuff, and knots ... we’ll start doing everything for time soon as well as with full gear on ... I’m still concerned about my size and the additional weight I’ll be carrying, but all I can do is keep working at it for the next 9 months.
Overall this week
- sleep: 7
- health: 6
- recovery: 6
- mental energy: 8
- stress: 8.5 ... hell, give it a 9.5 ... this wedding planning stuff is getting annoying ... really annoying ... really, really annoying ... I had to let the wedding planner go, members of my bridal party can’t help but to create drama, people trying to invite themselves or bring strangers, USPS losing mail, people not RSVP’ing at all, or people telling me what “I need to serve...” at the reception ... seriously, we really should have stuck to our first inclination to run off and get married on the mountain ... I’m starting to completely appreciate Matt’s general apprehension towards social gatherings now ... fucking hell
- physical energy: 6ish ... I’m sure my CRAP diet as of late has a lot to do with my oddball lethargy, “fluffiness”, and general gluggishness as of late
- diet: -2 ... I have a serious junk food addiction. No BS, I’m having trouble controlling myself, I obsess about it, and I sneak off and eat crap that makes me really sick. A few people speculate that it’s “stress eating” ... I’m sure the wedding and deferring school a year while I take consulting gigs has a lot to do with it.
