New Year's Eve

I went to the gym this morning! I read the workout on Wodify before I went and almost didn't go! I think my New Year's resolution should probably be to delete Wodify. I never really record my workouts and I usually just psych myself out of a workout by reading it beforehand. Hmmm.... Anyway, this was today's workout:

I only made it through once and it took me about 22 minutes. I did not start over in the three minutes I had left. I just finished my push-ups and stopped. Also, we were supposed to be using two dumbbells or kettlebells with our deadlifts and squats, but I only used one. Oh well. It took me like 5 minutes to do 31 burpees. Sheesh.

I Missed

Well, I finally missed a workout on my schedule, and I have been grumpy all day. I truly believe me being in such a sour mood was because of missing the gym. It was partly because I was mad at myself for not getting up on time and partly because I didn't get to feel those great endorphins! No, I just usually feel pretty accomplished after a workout and I didn't get to start my day with that feeling. This is what I missed: 

Looks like I missed a fun one. And yes, I used the word "fun" to describe the workout.

It Was Saturday and It Didn't Rain!

Well, I didn't have to fight the rain yesterday morning, but I still managed to be a couple of minutes late to Crossfit. Getting up in the morning to go to the gym isn't my favorite thing to do on Saturday, I  suppose. But seriously, the lack of rain did make me happier. Here was our workout yesterday morning:

So, we know that I really hate burpees, but 2 minutes isn't so bad. I managed to do 15 in that time, which is about what I expected to get. I honestly didn't count the squats or push-ups. The second part of the workout was pretty fun, actually. We had to pick up a 60 lb sand bag and toss it over a shoulder. After some practice, I was able to get it over my left shoulder, but couldn't get it over my right. One day! Also, maybe one day I can use the 100 lb sand bag! Also, maybe one day I can do toes-to-bar rather than knee raises.

I Forgot!

Y'all, I forgot to write a post about the beastly wall balls:

I'm pretty sure when I looked at the workout earlier in the day, it went all the way down to 10 and therefore added up to 150. But this ONLY adds up to 140, so excuse me. So the shocking part about this workout: it wasn't that bad! I remember having to do Karen (150 straight wall balls) a couple of years ago and I was literally crying by the time I got to 50. I completely expected that on Wednesday night, but I never shed a tear! I actually found the sit-ups harder. Hmmm. 

Well, I would like to do the Saturday workout, too, but I think I accidentally told my roommates that I was free Saturday morning and that we could exchange gifts then.

I Did Fight Club!

I finally made it to Fight Club last night! Haley was coaching, which was super awesome, mainly because I feel like I hardly ever get to see her. I mean she does own the place, but she can’t be there 24 hours a day. Anywho, here’s what we did for Fight Club:

All in all, it wasn’t too bad, though it certainly did make me tired. I definitely need to work on my strength, as punching somebody in the face at my current level probably wouldn’t even hurt. Really. But that’s kind of the point of the class, so I hope to be able to keep going. I know I can’t make it Thursday. We’ll see in the new year.

I’m currently sitting in the gym waiting to do tonight’s workout. It involves 150 wall balls. Pray.

Monday Boost

I made it to another Monday class. Woo!

A couple of notes about the workout last night: I used the green band for the pull downs, which almost made the pull downs too difficult. Almost, but not quite. I just had to make sure to concentrate on each pull down to make sure I got down far enough. Also, we didn't actually do the last Metcon EMOM style. Which I'm thankful for. I think I could have done it if I really tried. I do wish I had kept track of how many rounds I did, but I got distracted by my legs feeling like Jello and trying not to fall down. 

So far, I have yet to regret a workout! Yes, there have been a couple I didn't like particularly, but none to regret. I'm going to try Fight Club tonight. I don't know if I can continue with Fight Club, but I'll go tonight because I have no reason I can't!

Yet Another Rainy Saturday Morning

The weather really needs to sort itself out and stop being rainy on Saturday mornings! I feel like that makes it way more difficult to get out of the bed! But I did manage to wake up and get out the door. I even left in time to run by the QT to get a bottle of water. Which is good, because today's workout was not easy!

Two workouts for the price of one! Just kidding, the first part wasn't that bad. The second part was fairly difficult, simply because of the hill run. Daniel kind of requested we all do the run - the rowing and biking were just rain options, but of course it wasn't raining just then. Soooo, running is not my thing, much less up hill! I didn't make it very far up before I started walking, and our second time around, I walked the whole thing. I'm definitely glad I went to Crossfit this morning, though. That's three Saturdays in a row! 

Oh, and here are a couple of pictures:
