Report

So, I did not go to the gym on Monday because I was sniffling and had an ugly cough. I didn’t think I was contagious or anything. I just didn’t want to be wheezing and wiping my nose during a workout!

So tonight was a 20 minute AMRAP:
14 db bench press
28 single unders (AKA jumping rope)
14 air squats
300m row

Here’s what my Apple Watch had to say about that. Btw, I set my watch at the start of warmup, not the start of the WOD.

Also, yes, I know my heart rate is ridiculous.

No picture... :(

I went to Boost last night as well. Some of the other ladies in the class are texting me now to make sure I show up.
So, last night, Chris was our coach. That was cool, because he amuses me.

Anyway, I don't have a lovely picture of the workout, but I think I remember it:

6 cal row
7 db push press
8 cal bike
9 slam balls
10 mt climbers

And I believe that was a 20 min AMRAP... which just let me say, 20 minutes is a damn long time!

Oh, and it just wouldn't be me if I didn't say how much I hate the bike. So there.

I'm back on the wagon?

Well, I'm back to Boost now. People started wondering where I was. Which is a good thing! I think that means they notice I'm there in the first place. Now, if only I can get my butt up on Saturdays to go to CrossFit....

And I've fallen off the wagon

I'm not sure exactly why, but I have not been to BangBang in at least 2 weeks. Which is just plain bad for me. I don't even mean physically. Mentally, people. I need to see friends and stay active. I legitimately could not go a couple of times and then I've made excuses the last few times. And then every time I think I'll go back, something comes up. The next workout I could feasibly make (and let's not count 5am workouts) is Saturday at 9am. But now I'm going hiking, so that's out. So the next time I could go is Monday at 7:30. But I have a late doctor's appointment that will probably prevent me getting back home at a reasonable time. Maybe? Anyway, there's a part of me that knows I need to go back, but there's the other part that, for some reason, doesn't want to. I know I need to ignore that last part! I don't know why I can't just form a dang habit and stick with it!

Row Your Boat

Man, last night’s workout was not cool. And I thought about quitting multiple times during it. But I didn’t!

January So Far

Made it to Boost last night! And I almost forgot to write about it! Here’s the workout:

As is often, the workout didn’t seem very hard when I read it, but it definitely was in real life! For some reason, every time I did my HR pushups, I had the strangest urge to cry! I didn’t mentally want to; it was a totally physical response. Very strange! And the KB swings seemed so difficult even though I used my regular weight. Today, I am also a little sore, which is almost strange. I usually don’t really get sore!

So, this far in the month of January, I’ve only managed to get to the gym 5 times! Tomorrow will be 6, though. Also, I really wish I had done the competition this past weekend. It looked exhausting, yes, but also quite fun! Next time!

Wednesday Boost

I went to Boost last night, which was the first time I made it to the gym this week. I intended to go on Monday, but by the time I got home from my interview, I had an unfortunate headache and didn’t really feel like potentially getting sick at CFBB. So yeah, I’ve been slightly absent from the gym for a couple of weeks, but I’ll get back in the groove next week, hopefully. I’m still really nervous about all my schoolwork, though! Anyway, here was last night’s workout. I didn’t think it was too bad (except for the burpees, of course).

I did the bag cleans with the 30lb wall ball instead of the 60lb sandbag. I can get the sand bag over my left shoulder (barely), but not my right. I think I need a sandbag somewhere between those two weights!
