Start of November

So it looks like I am resorting to a once a week posting…oh well

Workout data

Thursday WOD: AMRAP of 20 Double Unders, 10 HSPU, 5 squat cleans – 7 rounds
Double unders have gotten a lot easier for me and that really helped with this workout. I was able to get through those pretty quickly. I decided to do HSPU from a box instead of negatives, and went with 99# for squat cleans. Squat cleans are a comfortable movement for me and I like them so I tend to go heavier when I can. Plus all of the smaller weights were being used by the other ladies so it was just easier to use the 10K’s and 5lbs.

Friday WOD Fight Gone Bad – Heavy
So the usual weight for women on FGB is 55# and this time it was calling for 65# SDHP and PP. I have done FGB with the men’s weight and my score was 220 so I was shooting for 300. That didn’t happen. I wasn’t able to start with wall ball and I hate to admit it but that right there was a mental block for me.

Here are my numbers
Round One: SDHP 28, BJ 21, PP 20, Row 15, WB 19 = 103
Round Two: SDHP 20, BJ 20, PP 13, Row 15, WB 15 = 83
Round Three: SDHP 17, BJ 19, PP 11, Row 13, WB 15 = 75
Total 261

So my number was 40 points higher then when I did it with 75# but I would have liked to seen a higher number. It is the PP that really kicks my butt. Need to work on those. My row numbers were higher when I did it with 75#. Interesting.

Saturday I had to work and then Sunday I had a football game and then Max and I went on a hike at Cottonwood Creek. Here are two pics from the trip.


Monday WOD: Squat Snatch 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1
Still stuck at 90# BUT the depth that I got when I did 85# and 90# was really good and got me pretty happy. I got all the way down into the full squat and had to stand to up. That was cool.

Tuesday WOD: 5 400m sprints
YUCK times ranged between 1:27 - 1:35. Good cardio work.

Wednesday WOD
SP 1 – 1 – 1 – 1
PP 3 – 3 – 3 – 3
PJ 5 – 5 – 5 – 5

This was one of the workouts that I did when I started the blog. The bad thing is that I have been going to the morning class and that means I don’t know what my PR’s are or what my time was because I don’t have the time (or make the time) to check out my notes before I head to class. This is something that I am going to have to change because for me there is a lot of mental motivation that goes through on in my head when I know what my last times, PR’s were and that I want to break them.

So not knowing what I did last time I am not really happy with these numbers:
SP: 65, 75, 85, 90 (f),
PP: 95, 100, 105, 110,
PJ: 110 (3), 95, 100, 105

Compared to my last numbers.
Shoulder press: 85# is PR
Push press number went up from 95 to 110 (awesome)
Push Jerk still at 110

So some progress and some things to still work on. That’s the thing about Crossfit. Always something to work on.

As for diet…well it has been pretty bad. I have had a hunkering for white chocolate macadamia nut cookies lately. This has resulted in me fluctuating in weight. Right now I am near 150. I know that if I went back to Zone hardcore I would drop a quick 5 pounds. Knowing that I think I don’t worry about it too much. But in terms of workout times and how I progress the extra weight does not help. Ideally I think I would like to be around 140 but that would mean that I would have to be a real hardass about diet. One of my goals is to be able to do a body weight overhead squat.
