paleo day 7, 8. ow.

ah! I haven't posted in awhile.

well - monday was definitely a killer and a little wierd. Noelle (pictured below)

(cousin)

brought her boyfriend to Crossfit! But! He workout, he just sat there on his iPhone. It was weird and she was weird with him there. I feel strangely protective over our space at Crossfit, we all are supportive but when you bring someone else it's like there is a giant buffalo in the room.

BUT it was an AWESOME workout, I literally hit a wall - or more like... the ceiling.

for our warmup:

2 rounds of the CWU -

15 pullups, 15 pushups, 15 situps, 15 squats, 15 back extensions, 15 dips.

then we did 5-5-5-5-5 of shoulder presses (here is where the ceiling comes in.)

1. 32 lbs. - no sweat

2. added 5's - 42 lbs. - little harder

3. went over to the 45 lb bar - feeling it

4. added 5lbs total = 55 lbs. - CEILING.

it was the weirdest thing, I got to the same point every time I tried to push it over my head. I hit my wall, I failed - I could not get it past that point but that is the point. Pushing yourself until your body stops.

5. went over did 43 x 4 times. again, the damn ceiling.

now onto...

workout:

AMRAP (as many reps as possible) for 20 minutes, it was

5 pullups

10 wall ball squats

15 kettlebell swings (backdeath.)

i got 7 reps of this - cj and I am so proud, got 8 ! right down to the wire. he proceeded to lay down and twitch a little afterwards.

(side note: if you can guess why i had the cramps, you can guess why I have been eating like a moose. food:

up to 3 lara bars, 1 apple, 1 banana, a big salad, water up the ying-yang and almonds. needless to say, atleast I am on this challenge and feeling so ravenous.)

NOW... day 8:

1 more lara bar... for good measure.

1/2 kiwi lime larabar when i got into the car (dangit Cj!)

warmup:

short run

5 minute jumprope

530 meter row

workout: RFT (reps for time)

15 squat thrusters

15 bar facing burpees (hopping over the bar after each burpee.)

time: 28:12 ( :< )

this one, left me gelatinous.

example: we get home, I lay down to check my email - and as I try to get up my body protests and I start shaking uncontrollably while all my muscles are sore and forcing me to lay the hell back down. I ended up rolling onto my back and grabbing at the couch for leverage and getting up and showering.

Cj say's: "Try and do a burpee."

I hear: "Gargle some tacks and mouthwash."
