Day TWENTY-FIVE...kentucky allergies...darn you!

Woke up with snot...a head full of it!! yuck...throat hurts, nose is stuffy, then runny...not doing my workout today as i had planned. Too bad because i finally had someone going with me for "share the pain" saturday! Oh well...next week i suppose!

CHEAT DAY!!!
bad food...all day, except for breakfast...i love my egg whites and oats :)

I'll spare you the details on this other than the fact that i feel rolley-polley and my tummy hurts! :)

Getting ready to start a modified paleo diet on Monday!

Day TWENTY-FOUR...what...L-sits!? This brings back memories!

Feeling much better today...soreness is just about gone :) Foot is good...hips are well...not exactly stretchy but the golf ball has dissolved!

Meal 1: 4 egg whites 1/2 cup oats with milk and 1 tsp almond butter, cinnamon
Meal 2: Vanilla Vi-shake with chocolate chip nutra cookie
Meal 3: 1 homemade granola bar and 1 grapefruit
Meal 4: tuna in a spinach leaf salad
WOD: 400m row then 5 rounds: 20 pull ups, 30 second L-sit, 20 mountain climbers, 30 second L-sit then end 5 rounds with 400m row--i have no idea what my time was on this because i had to wait in between certain rounds for a place to do an L-sit, then i wanted to work on butterfly pull ups so it took a lot longer than it prob should have. I also got my very first "almost rip" :) reminds of the old days in gymnastics!! got a bubble on my palm but it didnt rip so we're good!
Meal 5: chocolate chip nutra cookie with a glass of ff milk and 1/4 cup blueberries
Meal 6: salad

g'night!

Day TWENTY-THREE...oh the soreness

hips are sore again, abs are actually sore...that's good...that never happens! Taking today off again though...really need to get these hips rolled out and work on some mobility.

Meal 1: 4 egg whites, whole grapefruit
Meal 2: 1 packet tuna, 3 rice cakes
Meal 3: 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup greek yogurt
Meal 4: 125g of chicken and 100g sweet potato
Meal 5: 1/2 cup cottage cheese 1/4 cup blueberries

Bed time!! WOD tomorrow :)
legs are still painful but i need to get them moving!! stretched a lot this morning and went to the pool to do a little swimming and some mobility. Planning to WOD today!

Meal 1: 4 egg whites, 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup blueberries
Meal 2: 1 packet tuna, 1 grapefruit
Meal 3: lean ground turkey, small salad
WOD: 3 rounds 400m run, 50 DU's (3:1 scale--i did 150 SU's), 25 pushups and 25 situps. I really liked this WOD...it was difficult but i enjoyed it. I had a hardest time with the pushups because my chest strenght is still weak. But its definitely getting better! I did this WOD in 16:15 which i was really happy about!! Cashout was a 400m pose run--this was awkward but made sense to me so i liked it.
Meal 4: peanut butter Vi-shake
Meal 5: salad and 1/2 cup cottage cheese

Legs feel ok...lets see what's sore tomorrow! haha

Day TWENTY-TWO....the death of my legs

Well...woke up this morning and surely enough...my hip problems are baaaaaack! I have really tight hip-flexors and i used to get ART (active release therapy) on them. I thought it was all fixed but this morning...golf balls...yes....golf balls in my hips! My hipflexors are ridiculously tight, i cant stand up straight and nothing seems to help...well...back to rehabing :) haha if its not one thing it's another!

Taking today off--rolling the muscles, planning an ice bath later

meal 1: egg white omelet--toms, onions, green peppers
meal 2: strawberry/peach vi-shake and 1/2 nutra cookie
meal 3: tuna and 3 rice cakes
meal 4: olive garden--shrimp primavera with wheat pasta and 2 breadsticks (yes...cheat meal)
meal 5: the salad from olive garden with lean ground turkey mixed in

Icebath--yep...its on!

Day TWENTY-ONE...snatches kill

Back to the grind...not too sore after that 9/11 WOD so i'm happy about that!! Foot is still feeling good...going to try the run today...see how it goes!

Meal 1: 4 egg whites 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup blueberries
Meal 2: 1 packet tuna and 3 rice cakes
Meal 3: 1/4 cup almonds, 1 packet tuna
WOD: hang power snatches for time (i did the intermediate--75 hang snatches) then 800m run--first time doing snatches so i just used the 35lb bar. I did the 75 fairly easily, resting every 5-8 for just a few seconds but i was really focused on technique because this is the lift that scares me the most. I did the WOD in 12:35...not great but i'm ok with it!
CASHOUT: tabata mountain climbers--ummm WOW i didnt think this would be as bad as it was. 20 seconds sprint mountain climbers and 10 second rest 8 rounds.
Meal 4: blueberry vi-shake with 4 oz ff milk and 4 oz water and 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
Meal 5: lean ground tuna in a spinach leaf salad
Meal 6: 1/2 cup cottage cheese

I can tell my legs are going to be dead tomorrow!! :)

Day TWENTY....9/11...a day to remember

So, i decided on a cheat day today....lost 2.1 lbs in 4 days...right on track! So, i'm going to take it now and then diet again for 2 weeks...love my metabolism! So...although i hate to say it...here's what i ate today:

Meal 1: 1 pancake with real syrup, 2 eggs over medium, 3 pieces of bacon, about 3 oz of hashbrowns...and yes i ate it all :)
Meal 2: 1/4 cup almonds, about 8-10 strawberries and 1/2 cheesecake vi-shake
WOD: this workout was insane...i was nervous going in but all that extra food, fats and everything made me feel so strong today!! So, started with a 2001m row which i did in 9:50...tried to pace myself because i knew it would be hard...then 11 reps of the following: box jumps (easy), thrusters (did 65 lbs...but i think i could have done more), burpee chest to bar pullups (getting really good at pull ups now that i have figured out the technique), power cleans (did this with 65 because they were so hard the other day but i am sure i could have done 75 maybe even 85), hand stand pushups (had to take a break at 7...then did the other 4), kb swings (did american swing overhead with 35 lbs), toes to bar (still havent figured out that timing on the kip for this...need to work on it), deadlift (i did 85 which was really easy but i stuck to the protocol!), push jerk (did it with 65...felt good, remember the second squat this time...just didnt think about it so much) and last but not least...another 2001m row...this one i did in 10:10. Not bad!! Not sure what my overall time was considering i had to wait for equipment on quite a few times. I felt really good, and much stronger during all of it though so that's a plus!!
Meal 3: more almonds, then went for an orange leaf treat!
Meal 4: trail mix, homemade granola bar
Meal 5: shrimp primavera from Olive Garden--dessert--butterscotch vi-shake :)

So excited to feel improvement starting to happen! and very READY to get back to the diet!!
