  4. 72 days!

    ladies, gents, and those in between. Time for my update of the day. Switched out my rest days. Instead of today, it was yesterday. I had my cousin’s high school graduation. It’s crazy how time passes. I was so emotional. Never thought I would be. Here we are looking super fly :)

    Anddddd I have a new PR for back squat. It was always there, just never attempted it. Below is Tuesday:

    Strength
    Back Squat

    1x8 @ 50#
    1x5 @ 55#
    1x3 @ 65#
    1x3 @ 75#
    It was supposed to be off of your 3 rep max, but honestly, that was too light, so I just uped the weight. The 75 was still a bit light for me.

    Conditioning

    21-15-9:
    Deadlifts @ 115#
    HSPU w/ 3 ab mats
    Time: 9:48
    I like my time a lot, especially since this weight i had to do in sets of about 5s and then rest. It wasn’t too heavy, but I haven’t deadlifted heavy in a while so it felt good.

  8. Day 1

    So I didn’t go yesterday because I just had wayyyyyy too much homework due by midnight. But I did go Monday and let me tell you…it felt GREAT to be back. Took it real slow, but still had some speed. Not too much weight, but I still feel sore.

    Power Clean
    Front Squat
    Push Press

    Time: 15:04

  9. ok so im on fire right now.

    Im so sooooooreeeeeeeeeeeee. Since I can’t do a lot of the work outs, I’ve had to do my own thing. I did do an altered version of the strength wod yesterday as well, but light weight. Just to do it. 

    S-Wod
    Every 30 seconds for 10 min:

    Power Clean
    Hang Power Clean
    @35#

    WOD
    For time:
    50 squats
    50 pull ups
    50 walking lunges
    50 k2e
    5 hspu
    50 squats
    Time: 21:37

     Im doing a lot better with the whole thing with my grandma, but it still hurts. My grandpa is still making me go to Disney. He says it would be disrespectful if I don’t go because it was her idea for him to pay for my hotel and he says she would want me to live my life. Which is true…but still :/ le sigh.

    I’ve also been going to get adjusted. By next week I should be cleared to run, do burpees, jump rope, possibly some step ups…the weights im not too concerned about cause I want to do cardio. I want to start doing me 2 miles a day again, plus crossfit. But my thighs are looking so much nicer and I’ve only been doing squats and lunges…sooo….its all good. Plus I’m SUPER sore. I definitely want to pick up the cardio to slim down. Two summers ago I had slimmed down a lot, but I was all soft cause I was doing wayyyy too much running, but I still want to start running more. 

    Thats me in the middle two summers ago….my stomach LOOKS like it should be firm…but it was not….but no love handles…so just gotta work ;)
