So...crawling would be much preferred today however slightly impracticle ;)
I took the day off...managed to take an ice bath (thank goodness)...used my softer roller to roll my legs out a bit today (my shoulders are sore but they are the lesser of the two evils right now)...and i rested a lot. I did manage to go for a long walk with my dog (approximately 2 miles)but other than that i left the cardio/gym alone.
Meal 1: 4 egg whites, 1 whole grain english muffin with 2 tsp peanut butter
Meal 2: 1 cup fat free cottage cheese with 1/4 cup almonds
Meal 3: 1 homemade granola bar (yes i forgot to put the recipe on day one so i'll put it at the bottom of today) and 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Meal 4: peanut butter banana (mix in--not an actualy banana) Vi-Shake with almond milk
Meal 5: 1 cup fat free cottage cheese, 3 egg whites
I'm so READY to get back in the gym!! :) i'm craving another butt-whooping! *g'night*

Crossfit....DAY TWO....bring on the pain!
So...I thought this was hell week but apparently it hasnt started...so it gets even harder!!! hahah this is going to get interesting ;)
Soreness has compounded by 5 today and waddling seems to be my mode of ambulation on this fine afternoon...crawling may occur tomorrow!
Today:
Woke up late, let my body recoup today, so meal one was breakfast for lunch!
Meal 1: 4 egg whites and 1 homemade granola bar (see recipe below)
CROSSFIT: Warm up (um yes, i was winded after the warm up today), then went into 8 rounds of tabata press--i chose the 36lb kettlebell--20 seconds press as many times as you can then 10 seconds rest for 8 rounds--round 1 i did 10--round 2 i did 8--round 3 i did 8--round 4 i did 7--round 5 i did 6--round 7 i did 4--round 8 i did 5 (moderately happy with this, as my shoulders were killed yesterday and were really sore coming in today)
Then went into the true hell :) 5 rounds of 25 jacks, then 25m of walking lunges, then 25 air squats, then 25m of walking lunges--REPEAT 5 times through! :) I was very happy with this--completed it first out of the group (tied with one guy) at 7:13--CASHOUT--2 sets of 15 reps--GHD situps with medball toss (did these with 12 lbs no problem--prob could have used the 15 lb for a better workout there and i'll try that next time!! GREAT workout!!
Meal 2: Strawberry/banana vi-shake and 1/2 cup soy nuts/almonds
Meal 3: 1 package tuna with salsa and celery and 1/4 cup brown rice all mixed together
Meal 4: Vi-shake--caramel and a handfull of blueberries
Meal 5: after a HARD leg day...recovery mode--1 burger (bun and all) and a few french fries
So...yep...legs r dead, shoulders r dead...back is fried, arms are sore...tomorrow is my day off but i'll still be working hard!! Goodnight everyone...day two complete!
