Mini Murph

So I definitely could not do an entire Murph but I attempted a partial one

500 M row

5 pull ups
10 push ups 5 rounds of this
15 squats

500 M row, finished in 13 min exactly

could have done another set probably if I hadn't done 110 pushups the day before my arms and chest were shot

did do another 1000 M on the rower though, in a little under 5min

Rowing Ladder

A bit harder than it sounds the rowing ladder is kind of a sneaky one, like everything else with Xfit of course!

1 min, 10 meters
2 min, 20 meters
etc...

got all the way up to 20 min/200 min-probably could have squeaked out one more round but I was dead

before the rowing ladder I did the pushup ladder, got to 10 and then came back down so 110 pushups not too shabby

my first 1/2 mile!

Because I had to work and thus could not do Crossfit today, I opted for a run instead

I ran 800 M repeats, and this is the first time in my entire life that I actually ran a half mile without stopping! I tried to do it again and almost made it through another round but was feeling really crappy so had to stop for like 20 sec-but I also went much faster on the 2nd one so still ran 1 mile and am happy about it!

Sticking with what works

After venturing out and experimenting a bit w other eating plans such as weight watchers and the zone, I am back to doing something similar to the lockdown because it has been more effective and simple to follow than anything else I have done-as I started to add whole grains back in more and starchy food choices, I have noticed that I feel tired a lot again and I stopped really losing anymore weight. And, I have been feeling very pooped the last few times at m6y workouts so I am going to go with what worked best, except I will allow myself to have dairy because I am a firm believer that cheese does really make everything better and if it will help me choke down some extra veggies I am all for some LF cheese and dairy. I will also allow myself to have some cheats here and there but I am gonna see if I can go a full 2 weeks without cheating at first to get back on track.

Breakfast:
- chicken breast
- an orange
- sunflower seeds
- 32 oz water

mid morning
- strawberries & blueberries

Lunch:
- chicken breast, 4 oz

snack:

workout:
- front squat 15x10, 45x5x2, 55x4x4 (I think will have to confirm)
- mini metcon, 3 rounds 10 26 lb KB swings and 10 pushups 2min finish

dinner:
- chicken breast
- broccoli w/LF cheese sauce, 2 c
- cashews

- string cheese
- frozen cherries

Run, Forest!

So I am attempting to train for a 5K either in August or Sept, in concert with my Xfit-I am hoping both efforts will benefit each in their own way, and of course I am trying to watch what I eat

Running:
3 min jog, 1 min walk 2x
3 min jog, 1.5 min walk 1x
3 min jog, 2 m walk
3 min jog

had to increase my rest time after a few segments because I got really tired and had a terrible cramp-need to stretch better next time
still was happy I finished

Xfit workout:
for time 5 rounds:
- 250M row
- 5 box jumps (12")
- 5 burpees
11:37 finish
my legs were pretty tired from running earlier today, so I was a little slower than usual and almost totally bit it on my 1st box jump but oh well!

Lockdown time...AGAIN

So Josh & I are embarking on yet another 30 day lockdown to get things going again, except we are allowing dairy in moderation with this one.

Breakfast:
- 3 oz chicken breast
- 1 orange
- 7 cashews
- 32 oz water

Tabata

Haven't been to the gym as much this week and Tabata was a killer

push ups-8
situps-10
pull ups-7 (should have done like 10 but held back bc I suck at pull ups)
squats-11
row-4 cal (did get 5 cal several times though!)

total=40

I was totally fried after this workout!
