Day 189-191
MON:Rain rain go awayyyyyyy.
No CrossFit today.
I admit, I was lazy.
TUE:
Woke up at 5 and it was raining insanely. Decided to skip crossfit for the day.
The rain stopped at around 530, the guilt of not working out grew... And so I got out of bed at 615 and got ready to sweat it out!
7am workout:
10MIN EMOM
Odd minute-
3x5 32.5kg push jerk
1x3 32.5kg push jerk
1x5 30kg push jerk
Even minute-
Max calories on AirDyne
WOD: 10MIN AMRAP
15 22.5KG power snatches
15 lateral burpees
15 kipping HSPU (ab mat + blue plate)
Rounds: 1+36
I'm a little disappointed in the WOD with 22.5kg. I felt like it would have been okay to drop the weight down... It wasn't. I feel like I didn't gain much from all the sweat and heavy breathing.
I got caught up on being afraid of growing bulky and less feminine. I got caught up on the score that I get to add to the board. I forgot the real reason why I workout; it's not to impress those who don't particularly matter to me. It's not to show off a high score. It's to gain strength. To grow confident. To become strong. And to do that, I will need to oush myself.
If I stay on the same weights (or go lighter), I will stay the same. "If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you".
WED:
7am workout:
10 MIN EMOM
Odd - max 37.5kg deadlifts (~13 each round)
Even - 30s active hold from bar (to practice for pull ups; keeping core tight and legs straight)
WOD: 12 MIN AMRAP
10 25kg Overhead Squats
15 box jumps
Rounds: 3 + 14
I woke up feeling yuck. I haven't felt yuck on a while but I guess it's from eating all the processed foods over the past week! A little hiccup in my progress isn't going to bring me back to where I started. I need to just stick to the plan, track my foods, stick to 'healthy' choices and train hard!
I'm going to take this week to work on getting back into training routine; 6am workout + pull up skills after class for 30 mins, then 7pm workout. I REALLY want to get strong. I REALLY want to stop being afraid of the bar... I need to stop overthinking the movements and just move!
