Day 4 of 62 in the Paleo Challenge. This is going to go by fast, right? 7 points for me again today. I was close to an eight pointer until I realized I put salad dressing on my salad. Darn salad dressing.
The WOD for tomorrow:
3 Rounds for Time
5 Turkish Get Ups per side
10 Kettlebell Clean and Press per side
15 Crossfit Standard Pushups (release hands at bottom so torso is on the deck)
20 Situps
I am hopeful (and pretty sure) that this WOD will make Pushups seem like a "break." The Situps should be tougher than you would imagine after doing the TGU.
2/8 update
ReplyDeleteI surfed. I did my physical therapy. And I did the lunges/run workout.
The workouts look so doable on screen. And they kick my ass.
The alley behind the house is barely over 1/10 of a mile. So I started with a run x 1 minute, then 20 lunges, then noted that I only had 15 seconds of running to do before my lunges started again. I declared Gary criminally insane and I modified. I ran (jogged/sprinted/walked depending on the moment) 1/10 mile, started the next with 20 lunges, ran the remainder of that 1/10 and so forth until I made it to a mile.
-1 for cream
7 for the day
The kids may NEVER let me get 8 hours at night, but I keep TRYING!
Scaling is the #1 word in Crossfit Jenn. It is good that you are able to adapt the WOD to fit you. The fun part is when some WODs come back around in a few months and you are able to do them better/faster/stronger. I may be a little crazy. I miss some of the hourlong body-busting WODs I would do at Iron Major. I do my best to sprinkle in the "Chippers" here. I don't think I have programmed anything over 40 minutes thus far.
ReplyDelete18:33 for today's WOD. Pretty cool how I snuck 30 turkish get ups past you, right Lisa? My hope is that you did today's WOD almost as fast as when you did 30 TGU by themselves. I think I might have come within 4 minutes but would have to check. I slept probably 7 hours and 45 minutes last night. Close, but no cigar. I went to bed at 11ish and unlike most nights I didn't toss and turn at all. It must have been a record. I remember nothing so it must have been fast. Then I woke up at 6:50. Not mathematically possible for it to be 8. No dogs or children waking me up. . . oh wait, Ione came in about 6:30. I almost forgot. . . yeah, 8 hours is going to be tough.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. 18# KB for TGU and 44# KB for Clean and Press.
DeleteGary: That may have worked, but we didn't do them! Why? I'm not quite sure. I think we took a vote. Being in Afghanistan gives me a nasty sense of entitlement. I need to knock that off, for sure.

I slept in today and took the morning off. I couldn't let a day go by though, so I ran 3 miles on the treadmill (Level 10, 4.5-7.0 mph, random). Pretty good. At least I sweat a bunch! It felt good to run.
22.40 for the workout. 10# KB for both. I can feel it. My glutes still ache from the lunges.
ReplyDeleteI broke today. My mom came in on day 2 of the challenge. Homemade PB cookies - I didn't eat one. Chocolate covered macademia nut cluster - zero. Brown rice sushi - the best I can say is I shared with the kids. :) And she went out and bought 3 pints of Baskin Robins - I didn't even smell it yesterday; today I was scooping it out for the kids and I enjoyed a small spoonfull. Mmmmmmmmm.
That's a 5 for me. I will send you my worksheet at the end of every week. Maybe I will email it to Lisa and she could put it into some master excel file!
You know what I say Jenn? If you are going to have a little you might as well enjoy a bowl. I know that it might not "feel right" but you only live once. We can do our paleo challenge and still live!
ReplyDeleteI have portion control issues! It was good for me to hold back. Besides i'd rather waste my 'living a little' on something better than mediocre ice cream. Like the two glasses of wine I've enjoyed tonight. :)
ReplyDeleteJenn: I concur. Wait till you see Friday, 10 Feb 2012's post.
