Today sucked

Started today with Olympic lifting class at 6 am. Wasn't feeling it so much. Tired. For some unknown reason I decided to stay and do the WOD. Let me tell you, the WOD won.


4 rounds (I did 3) for time:

400 m row
30 Med Ball cleans
20 push ups

I actually cried in the middle. Which pissed me off more. Whatever. I finished my 3 rounds in a stellar (sarcasm noted) time of 29:30. I told you the WOD won!

I need a nap.

I'm Slow

I'm learning this about myself but it doesn't make it any easier. I just have to be proud of what I'm doing and not worry about time. Or the fact that everyone is always sitting around done while I'm still working.

Today's workout was:

4 rounds
9 SDHP 55# (prescribed woman's weight)
15 sit-ups
21 air squats

My time: 10:05

Pretty pathetic. However I do know I could have done better had I not done the workout coming off of my 1 hour Olympic Lifting class just before. Those power snatches took it out of me.

On Saturday I learned how truly slow I am when we had to run. Our WOD was called "Griff" which is:

Run 800 m forward
Run 400 m backward
Run 800 m forward
Run 400 m backward

My time: 24 flat

I learned that running backwards sucks even more than running forward. Who knew? ;)

The point is I did it right?

New Journey

I know I haven't been on this blog in a really long time but since I have started a new journey I thought it was a good place to log my thoughts.

My new journey is called Crossfit and I have just completed my second week of it. If you have no idea what Crossfit is check out www.crossfit.com

I had no idea my body could do so many of these things. But I feel good. And I need somewhere to record what I'm up to.

Welcome to my world, my new journey

F'ing Tom Morello

I seriously took over an hour to pass him on medium.

Stupid Guitar Hero. My house is greatly suffering from it.

I'll look back on this someday when I am a rock legend and laugh. One of those really snooty laughs too.

Hmmmm,

how sad is it that I haven't posted since Christmastime and seem to have forgotten that I even have this here little blog. Until Will reminded me. Thanks Will!


I would love to say that in the last two months that my life has somehow gotten interesting. Sadly that is not the case. Life has just gotten more hectic, though right now I have a tiny break as two of my kids are off of school right now.

Since Christmas, I've:

Gotten a job! I am now working at my kids school (I figured that if I am there as much as I am, I might as well get paid) as a lunch aid. It's three hours of on your feet, non stop fun. I really enjoy working with the kids and getting to know all 650 of them!

Gotten tired! It's hard to stay on your feet and run after kids for three hours a day on top of what I've already got going on at home. My dishes are suffering.

Lost 10 lbs! My kids did tell me that they hate it when I'm on WW because everything is lowfat. My kids are full of crap. They all had donuts yesterday, I didn't!

Have watched the entire 6 seasons of "The Wire" in a 2 week period! Oh how I miss Lem! And can't wait for the season to come back!

Booked a trip to Costa Rica! We're going in 3 months and are staying for two weeks. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!

Have completed half of the schools yearbook. The other half is due in 15 days.

which reminds me, I'd better get to work on that.

So tell me, what have you all done since Christmas? Well the two of you who might still be around anyway?

Wow

over a month since I've posted anything. Not that I ever had anything grand to post. These days it's just too busy.

My kids have been home for the whole month of December which makes life very hectic. I've hosted Thanksgiving, Hannukah, and now Christmas here which has been fun but crazy.

I really need a little break from the kids. The alcohol isn't cutting it anymore.

;0

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season. I'm just really not in the mood. Can't even shop with all the rugrats home.

Oh and I have no hair left. Not as dramatic as Britney but I do feel like I could pass for a Marine. sigh. The effects of trichotillomania.

Merry Christmas ya'll!

100th post

Yep, still have nothing to say. Still lame and posting at 9:01 pm on a Friday night.

I'm off to watch Airplane. I have low expectations in life.

Have a great weekend all.
