Still plugging along

So, today we did 2x400m sprints my 1st time was 1:53 then a 2 min rest and 2nd time 2:11. I need some practice running since it's been frigid. After we did Power Cleans 1x1x1x1x1x1x1 I did 75,75, 85, 95, 100, 95, 95. I wanted to get to 100 lbs and lift my super model for the day. I accomplished my goal:) My quads are really sore from yesterday's wod the squats killed my legs. Paleo is still going and last night I made Coconut Chicken with cauliflower. Very good and it gave me 3 more meals to have.

"The Chief" from Hell

     So, today's WOD was "The Chief". It is always the ones that look simple that get to me. It was Jeff, Brad, Caleb(new), another new guy, and I. Will was training tonight so I wore my neon knee socks because he hates them. It was 3 minutes of 3 cleans with 85 lbs, 6 pushups and 9 squats and 5 rounds with a minute rest in-between. Round 1 went well, started getting a little out of breath for round 2, round 3 I could feel my legs starting to shake. Round 4 I was doing squats and Will yelled at me to stop bouncing on the ball when I was doing squats and I wasn't meaning to so I kicked the 10 lb. med ball at him. So, I got 3-3-3-3-3 sets for every round. Paleo is gong well and I didn't have any cravings today.

Night Time

     Well, I've stuck to Paleo today. The Crossfit workout we did today was 50-40-30-20-10 Kettlebell swings and double-unders. I did single-unders which you triple the reps on so it was 150-120-90-60-30. It was a tough WOD cardio wise for me. Tomorrow might be a challenge since I will go to Crossfit and do "The Chief" Max rounds in 3 minutes of 3 power cleans, 6 pushups and 9 squats then 1 minute rest for 5 rounds. It sounds like a simple workout but those are the ones that kill me.  I will be teaching at the school tomorrow and, I'm going to go see Coach Herman Boone (the REAL coach that coached the Titans Football team) speak. Last but not least on my fun filled day I'm going to go workout with 2 of the Swedish sisters on the rugby team. They might kill me a little but, I need to get into the best shape I can. I want to eat sugar but I have a feeling that it will be worth it in the long run if I don't.

Take 3 Day 1 of Paleo again


    So, here we are again I need to make changes that involve not eating any sugar. Previously, I have faltered probably because I love chocolate and ice cream. Then there's the fact that I won an ice cream machine last month. I'm going to make a choice to use my ice cream machine for good rather than evil. I think I might need to get a blender or food processor for this though, to make sorbet. I ate a 2 egg omelet with zucchini and spinach in it. I think I'll take my steamed veggies and a turkey burger to work too. This is going to be a challenge because both my roommates are addicted to soda and sugar.
