Your girl is going to WODapalooza! To say I'm excited would be an understatement. I signed up immediately! I also get a new pair of nanos! (like I need more shoes...don't answer that)<br />
<br />
I had signed up for the intermediate division, and finished in 155th. Not too bad. But only the top 60 got an invite. Everyone else was entered into a "lottery" for the scaled division. This is what I was ultimately going for anyways. I missed out on the first round of lottery picks and didn't get any emails on the day the second round picks went out. Was about to give up, but then woke up to this the next morning! It went to my promotions folder! Damn Gmail, trying to organize everything all nice and shit. lol<br />
<br />
73rd and 58th were my highest places... On the snatch and C&J WODs. <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji2.png" /> <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji123.png" /> Lol guess where my strengths are!? I was in the 200s for all the metcons. I'm OK with that. I don't like to hurt that much. Except now I need to. Ughhhhhhhhh. lol Let the training begin!<br />

<br />CrossFit Liftoff is this week, then we may be signing up for a comp in December that has swimming (I know). I need to practice!<br />
<br />
Hotel is booked! We are driving to Orlando and dropping the puppies off with my dad for the weekend, then flying to Miami for the comp and a few extra days, and coming back to hang with my dad for the rest of the week before driving back home.<br />
<br />
I'm definitely going to have this on repeat for the next 3 months:<br />

<br />
Used
to? Why did you used to? What happened that you can no longer climb a
fence? Do a cartwheel? Somersault? Swing a bat or throw a ball without
"throwing your back out"?<br />
<br />
Is it because you're older?<br />
----Age is not an excuse. Why would you accept that fate? <br />
<br />
Because you don't want to do that anymore?<br />
----Why not? Are you scared? Tired? Did your doctor tell you you can't?<br />
<br />
Do
you make noises when you STAND UP from a chair? The ground? Does your
back hurt after CARRYING IN GROCERIES? Seriously? This is shit we do
every day. EVERY. DAY. Why is it so difficult? Why did you LET IT get
so difficult?<br />
<br />
Watch your kids. Watch your 2-year old
get down into a perfect ass to grass squat, and sit there for.ev.er. You
used to do that. Every child can do that. Can you do that now? <br />
<br />
It's not because your old. It's because you don't move correctly. It's because you.don't.care.<br />
<br />
People just accept "I'm getting old" "My body hurts" "I just can't do that anymore" BUT.......YOU CAN.<br />
<br />
Don't
accept that your body is going to deteriorate with age. Do something
about it. Remain functional. Sure you'll lose some strength and
mobility as you get older. <i><b>SOME</b></i>. You don't need to help it along by
doing nothing.<br />
<br />
You can re-learn how to move correctly. You CAN still climb that fence, do that cartwheel, move without pain.<br />
<br />
What is it that you want to do? You thought that time had passed, but it's never too late to start. To learn. To CARE.<br />
<br />
I never want to have to say "I used to be able to do that..." Never.<br />
<br />
Priorities. Your body is your most expensive possession. Why is it not a priority? Why don't you take care of it?<br />
<br />
I'm even a victim of this. <b>Confession:</b> <i>I've been neglecting my mobility lately.</i><br />
<br />
I'm starting to feel it in my lifts. My hips and lower back are KILLING me, and my shoulders (which already suck), aren't getting any better.<br />
<br />
I made my own standing desk at work to help with the hip and back issues, but the shoulder pain/ROM/tightness wasn't going away on it's own.<br />

<br />
Hello, <a href="https://romwod.com/">ROMWOD.</a><br />
<br />
I signed up for this program last Wednesday, and have done one every day since. I kinda love it.
But hate it. But it's working, so there's that. Standing straddle will
be the death of me.<br />
<br />
It's gotten me to get on the floor every day and work my mobility. That's what I need. I loved going to yoga, but it wasn't convenient. THIS. This I can do! Most of them are 20 minutes. Totally do-able.<br />
<br />
*This is not a plug. I just really like the program!*<br />
<br />
I'm excited to see it translate over to my lifts!<br />
<br />

Seriously though, get your ass off of the couch and MOVE!

<br />
Been busy lifing over here. Work got insanely busy, training got insanely awesome. It's been a busy summer of fitness. [insert cheese]<br />
<br />
Started a new job closer to home earlier this month (oh hey promotion!), and have been enjoying all the extra time I have now that I don't have a commute! So much time for activities!<br />
<br />
News, news, news...<br />
Still following eat to perform (I'm now coaching certified!), still following the outlaw way.<br />
<br />
OH! I have to tell you about my first weightlifting meet! It was awesome. I waited til a little last minute to cut weight, and I'm apparently a head case when it comes to these things, but other than that, it went great! Ha.<br />
<br />
I was sitting around 131-133lbs about 2 months out and asked in the ETP forum about cutting down to be a 58kg. They suggested adding more carbs, instead. Well, okay then...I wasn't going to argue. I did just that. Didn't gain any weight (yay!), but didn't lose any either. About 3 weeks out I put myself on a sort of mini-cut til I was at 129-130 a few days before. Then lots of cardio, protein, and a liquid diet til the day of. Woke up at EXACTLY 127.8lbs. Couldn't get any more perfect, except I felt like shit. lol Dehydrated and anxious is not a good mix for me. Weighed in (after I peed and lost my shirt to make the weight), and then drank alllllllllllllllll the electrolytes. And ate some protein pancakes. Learned the hard way...DON'T DO THAT AGAIN! haha. Oh and the monster pre-WO on a basically empty stomach probably wasn't my best idea.<br />
<br />
So after I drove Sean crazy for the hour wait stressing out about anything and everything, it was time to warm up. You guys, kilos are HARD. There were 3 other girls attempting similar weights for snatch, so I just worked in with them. Thank God. We had my cheat sheet, but converting on the fly with 1 and 2 and 5 kg plates is SO confusing. Note to self: Get some kilo plates to train with.<br />
<br />
I started with 53 (116) for the snatch - hit it, but was feeling rushed, so it didn't feel very confident. A little sloppy even.<br />
Went up to 56 (123) for my 2nd attempt...threw it over my head. Literally.<br />
Was planning to hit 58 or 59 for my third, but wanted to get a 2nd successful lift, so I re-did 56. It was pretty this time. <img alt=":)" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" src="http://www.forum.eattoperform.com/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" title="Smile :)" /><br />
<br />
Staring out in the crowd and to have everyone silent and just watching
you...it's something else. Gonna take a little getting used to. <br />
<br />
The food and monster must've started to settle, and I felt a little more comfortable for the C&J. I was getting in my head
because the other girls were starting with higher numbers, I had
planned to start lower and take bigger jumps. I thought they were doing
the same. I was in contention to win after the last girl failed her 60kg
snatch, but this was throwing me off. Decided to just say fuck it, and
hit my numbers.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Started at 64 (140), hit it clean.<br />
Then 68 (149)- again, no problem. The commentator told me it was a "very nice lift" <img alt=":D" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" src="http://www.forum.eattoperform.com/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" title="Big Grin :D" />:D<br />
Decided to stay conservative and hit 73 (160) for my final. I was more
confident in this than 75. Hit it. A little walking around, but it was a
good lift. <img alt=":)" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" src="http://www.forum.eattoperform.com/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" title="Smile :)" /><br />
<br />
Finished with a 129 (284) total, which was 1kg over the next girl for a gold medal. Whoop!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Def learned a few lessons.
I probably could've went up 1kg for my 3rd snatch attempt. And maybe 74kg for the last C&J.<br />
<br />
Need to work on my mental game. I was literally all over the place. Once
I settled down for the C&J it was a little better. Watching
everyone else helped, too.<br />
<br />
It goes a LOT faster than I thought it would. I thought I'd have more down time between lifts. NOPE. And the switching of athlete attempts is kinda fun...to watch. Not experience. lol<br />
<br />
<br />
The food afterwards made it alllll worth it. Mighta ate myself into a stomach ache though. Oops.<br />

150 lbs over my head? Nice to meet you. </div>
<br />
Seriously though. My 1 RM clean and jerk is 165. Haven't seen a C&J PR in a few months. This is too close. I need moar squats!<br />
<br />
Looking into getting some more specific barbell programming. Not sure where though. It looks like most of the good stuff I'll have to pay for.<br />
<br />
I've also done at least 3 competitions and a Spartan race (from hell) since my last post. (told you I was busy!) Nothing currently planned, laying low for the rest of the summer.<br />
<br />
So that's what's up! Been eating, and lifting, and winning at life! :)<br />

I did a LOT better than I thought I would. I went in with the same goal as last year...get in the top 50%. SMASHED that one from 15.1. Tried to re-evaluate during the open to see what a new goal would be, but decided to just see where I ended up...<br />

I am so excited that I was able to do all the WODs RX'd. Crushed the muscle ups (for me!), first time I ever did that many in a WOD. HSPUs were cake. All that strict work is really paying off! </div>

I didn't get out unscathed though. Along with the DOMs that continued for multiple days after each Friday, I had a few bruises to show for my efforts, as well.</div>

<br />
I got alllllllll the muscle ups!<br />
<br />
Last week I was doing some chest to bar pull ups as part of my workout. More like chest to ribs. I dunno why I pull so hard for these. But Sean walked by and casually mentioned that if I pulled any harder I'd have a muscle up.<br />
<br />
Hmmmmmmmmmm. <br />
<br />
A muscle up you say?<br />
<br />
I finished that set of C2Bs and headed back to my overhead squats. During the 60 second transition I decided that it's happening today. I'm getting a muscle up on the bar. <br />
<br />
FUCK YEAH! Easy. Easy peasy. I found myself chilling up there not wanting to come down and relish in the moment. Then I hit my head on the ceiling. Whoops.<br />
<br />
Obviously I didn't catch this on film, so I had to do another one to video it. This one felt even easier. So much so that I got cocky and went for two. Yeah, nope. #fail<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This WOD:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
12 minute AMRAP</div>

150 Wall balls 20/14# (men 10′ target/ladies 9′ target)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br />
You already know I'm following The Outlaw Way. Still going good! I jammed my shoulder on a near max attempt split jerk a few months ago and it hasn't felt right since, so I'm laying off the jerks and kipping for a few weeks to hopefully heal whatever damage I did. Lots of squats in my future. Speaking of squats...<br />
<br />
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 220#<br />

<br />
This isn't THE muscle up. That one was much uglier. But I had a class of CF Plexus members there to cheer me on for my first MU. It was kind of amazing. My arm got stuck and I had to fight through it and I kicked my way through the dip and everyyyyything. Just how I imagined. :D<br />
<br />
No lack of PRs going on for me!<br />
<br />
Starting back in October I signed up for the <a href="http://www.eattoperform.com/welcome">Eat to Perform</a> program/Science Lab/Forum. I had read their articles before, tried to add up my calories/macros on my own using their (free!) online calculator, but never really jumped in because frankly, I was scared of the carbs. <br />
<br />
Paleo has had me in that "low carb" mindset for a few years now. Paleo, low carbs and high fats work for lots of people. Apparently not for athletes.<br />
<br />
Hey! I'm an athlete! Well, a "competitive exerciser" haha. Kind of competitive. So, I did my research. Conclusion? I need more carbs. LOTS more carbs. Like 200g+ per day more carbs. And less fat.<br />
<br />
I jumped in. The moderators on the forum are SUPER helpful. I scoured the forum to answer any questions that I may have had. I don't like being *that* person who asks dumb, repetitive questions, so I found most of the information myself. They assigned me some macros. 2110 calories of 70g Fat, 230(!)g carbs, 140g protein. You're supposed to gradually work up to your new numbers, but I'm too impatient for that shit. Plus I wanted to eat allthecarbs. Bloat and weight gain ensued. (Not too much) I liked the program though, so I stuck through it! The weight and bloat went away after a few weeks. So far I'm down 10 lbs total and about 1-2% body fat. Our scale isn't all that accurate at BF%, so I take it with a grain of salt.<br />
<br />
With some planning and food shopping, it's pretty easy to meet my macros every day. I still occasionally have trouble keeping my fats under 70g (damn paleo), and getting over 200g of carbs. I usually hit 200, but I need to find some more fast-burning carb food to eat pre-bed that doesn't have any fats. I use up that fat allowance quickly. :( I think the key to my success is making sure that I hit my protein every day. Also, rest days (control days), my carb intake drops down to 100-125 to give me a calorie deficit and put me in "fat-burning mode." Of course these are the days that I want to eat every carb in sight. Figures.<br />
<br />
SO! I am attributing my PRs to my new IIFYM/ETP/flexible dieting approach. And reaping all the benefits of my carb allowances with DONUTS.<br />

The competition was fun. We lost, obviously, but completed all the WODs. The Spartan Race took longer than expected. It was mostly hiking up and back down the mountain with a few obstacles thrown in. At least we didn't have to run all that much. ;) Pretty sure that's why my ass was sore for days, but it was a lot of fun! <br />

I still have like 5 tomatoes in the fridge, and probably 10 more still on the plant. Hopefully they turn red before it frosts!</div>

Last month we participated in our first official CrossFit competition.<br />
<br />
Next weekend is our second CrossFit competition. AND a Spartan Race. In the same weekend. Sean also has a baseball game in between.<br />
<br />
Go big or go home, right? I'll probably call out broken for work on Monday. #worthit<br />

Anyways: the DE Affiliate Challenge. One of our neighboring boxes needed another girl for their women's team, so they asked me to fill in. We were going to attempt the RX workouts...until the night before. It was pretty intimidating. LOL The other ladies didn't have pull ups (very well), and that turned out to be one of the primary movements in multiple WODs, so we dropped down to the scaled division at the last minute. It was SO much better that way. <br />
<div>
<br />
Here were the scaled WODs:<br />
(we had 4 people per team)<br />
<br />
WOD 1:<br />
a. Partner "Fran"<br />
42-30-18<br />
Thrusters 75/55<br />
SDHP 75/55<br />

I did one of the "Grace". KILLED it. Got through the 30 C&J in under 2:30, and rowed my best 500m EVER after that, in like 2:08. It was pretty awesome, after it sucked. <br />
<br />
I don't remember our final placing, but I think we were in 3rd after these two WODs. The men's team for the gym I was competing with ended up doing pretty good, too; we advanced to the finals. We finished in 5th place overall, which I thought was pretty impressive! It was the first competition for pretty much all of us!<br />

The men of CrossFit Plexus did FANTASTIC. They finished 1st place after the two WODs, but unfortunately weren't able to advance to the finals because we didn't have a women's team (you needed both to take the "affiliate" title). Next year, we'll be there. For sure.<br />

Can't wait to do it all over again in 3 days! This one is an individual comp, too. And not scaled. They didn't release the WODs yet (tomorrow), so I'm sure I'll be freaking out a lot more then. <br />
<br />
Wish us luck!</div>

<br />
I got a 200# back squat. I have a 215# Deadlift. I need a 100# strict press (probably soon, haven't tested it lately).<br />
<br />
NEW GOALS!<br />
<br />
Double body weight back squat: 270#<br />
Double body weight deadlift: 270#<br />
Body weight Snatch: #135<br />
200# Clean and Jerk<br />
<br />
No idea how long it'll take me to get here. But IT IS HAPPENING.<br />
<br />
Here's my beautiful back squat.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I got 195# in January, but it was UUUUUUGGGGLLYYY. I don't think I got below parallel. I'll take 200# ass to grass ALL DAY!<br />
<br />
Just looked at my programming for next week. Tuesday is find a 1 RM back squat. So, I may be at more than 200#. VACATION PRs ALL DAY.<br />
<br />
I alsooooo got a 115# SNATCH yesterday. After a 6 minute AMRAP of Toes to Bar and OHS. BOOM. (That's a 110#, then the 115#)<br />

Actual food. Whole food. That you chew. I have so much to post about, but I need to rant...<br />
<br />
People are popping up left and right with their stupid cleansing shit. Maybe because it's almost summer or something but it is ALL OVER my facebook newsfeed. I keep hiding and reporting it as spam, but apparently facebook doesn't get the hint that I don't wanna see that shit.<br />
<br />
NEWSFLASH -<br />
You don't need to spend hundreds of dolla bills on these "cleanses"<br />
The part that actually makes you lose weight is the FOOD THAT YOU ARE EATING.<br />
<br />
Have you checked the ingredients on these shakes?<br />

This isn't clean eating. This isn't some magic weight loss tool. This is a quick fix, not a lifestyle change (Well, unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars on non-food shakes every month. for the rest of your life. Sounds like a blast.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Here's an idea. Cleanse your body by NOT EATING SHIT. You have a liver and kidneys for a reason. You don't need these fucking chemicals and "herbs" and "roots" and "blends" that your body probably can't absorb anyways to "cleanse" your system. IT DOES IT ITSELF. It's like fucking magic. Just stop putting crap in your body, and you'll feel great. You don't need all this extra shit for all this extra money. <br />
<br />
And a wrap? You're going to wrap yourself in some more chemicals and hope to shed pounds and keep them off???? Read literally ANY literature on losing weight. This isn't how it's done. PLEASE don't buy into this. It even SOUNDS ridiculous.<br />
<br />
Seriously, all these people are trying to do is make a quick buck off you. And then talk you into selling it, and waste your time to get more money from YOUR friends. <br />
<br />
Don't be THAT GUY. Fer realz. Don't do it. We'll judge you. Hard.<br />
<br />
If you need a protein shake, get some legit actual grass fed protein, and take it after your workout, when it is most effective. Don't replace your meals with it. The meals where you should be getting your nutrients from ACTUAL FOOD.<br />
<br />
You want to do a cleanse? Don't eat sugar for 30 days. Cleanse your body by eliminating what it doesn't need, not ADDING extra shit that it can't use.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions on this, please let me know. I'll be happy to show you the light. I don't have all the answers, but I can point you in the right direction to those that do. And it won't cost you ANY MONEY. (well except for food. I can't buy the food for you. ;) I'll cook it for ya though!)<br />
<br />
Just eat the goddamn food. PLEASE.<br />
<br />

I mean, the original gluten filled recipe from How Sweet It Is is AMAZING, so I'm not sure how this possibly could've went wrong, but WOW. They're good. Really good. <br />
<br />
I somehow came down with a cold last week. It was miserable (it still is. UGH). I was home sick on Friday, and Sean texted me to let me know I got him sick (I mean...it was inevitable babe), and the least I could do was make some cookies. Well, okay.<br />
I didn't have any ripe bananas, but fortunately I keep some in the freezer for random requests such as this (NOT). But I did have some frozen that I just quickly microwaved and we were good to go! <br />

2 teaspoons vanilla extract<br />
1 1/2 ripe medium bananas, mashed<br />
1 1/4 cups chocolate chips<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.<br />
<br />
Melt butter with almond butter in the microwave. It takes about 90 seconds, check every 30 to make sure it isn't splattering everywhere. Set aside to cool. Mix the almond flour and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. In the bowl of your stand mixer, or another large bowl, mix together cooled peanut butter and butter with the organic cane sugar. Add in egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Add in the mashed banana and mix until combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.<br />
<br />
Scoop the dough in 2-3 tbsp cookies and place on a nonstick baking sheet about 2 inches apart from each other, they will spread a little bit. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely. Try not to eat them all as soon as they come out of the oven, they're even better a day later!<br />
<br />
Makes about 3 dozen cookies<br />

So. This super extreme amount of volume in <a href="http://theoutlawway.com/">Outlaw training</a> is intense. I'm a little over a month into it, and realizing how much I suck at CrossFit. haha.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
HS walks are not my forte. Legless rope climbs are pretty much impossible (currently). I cannot correctly squat clean anything over 100#. (I LIED. I squat cleaned 125# last weekend. Whoop whoop!)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
BUT I CAN PR! <b>110# squat snatch</b> PR a few weeks ago. <b>140# clean, 140# jerk </b>(not together, yet). <b> 215# DEADLIFT!</b> WOOOOO!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I also got 7 unbroken strict pull ups, and 50 unbroken DUs!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The programming is intense, but it definitely yields PRs. I like it, but considering not strictly following it forever. Maybe I'll give it 6 months? A year? It takes me at least 2 hours a day to complete all the work, and sometimes longer if the conditioning WOD is particularly difficult. Ain't nobody got time for that.</div>

One thing that's increasingly frustrating, but I DO like, is this programming is making me a lot more aware of my weaknesses and faults. Like that I cannot easily squat below parallel. I knew this, but I'm seeing it transfer over into pretty much everything. I've been trying to incorporate more mobility. AKA <a href="http://www.mobilitywod.com/2010/11/episode-90-10-min-squat-test-3/">KStar's 10 minute squat challenge</a>.<br />

It sure does get boring and painful down there.</div>

<div dir="ltr">
Currently they're programming a <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Hatch&oq=Hatch&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=hatch+squat+cycle">Hatch Squat Cycle</a> for front and back squats. It's deceptively heavy, but rewarding. And what I like about the "lighter" weights, is that I can focus on getting below parallel, without having to worry about dumping the weight or hurting myself. So that's fun.</div>

Hopefully by the end of this I'll come out with some squat PRs!</div>

We might be signing up for a few competitions this summer. Plus a Spartan race (in the mud this time!) and Regionals THIS weekend! Sean got all his info on being a judge, and I got a new DSLR camera.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">FOR TIME</span><br />

<br />
At least we got to suck with friends. Sean and I and a few guys from CF Plexus went down to a neighboring affiliate and participated in their "Friday Night Lights" -- 3 heats of 25+ athletes completing 14.5. It was a blast! They had some great athletes, and it was lots of fun to watch and cheer for everybody. It was also helpful to see people endure the pain before we went. Kind of. <br />

I've started following <a href="http://theoutlawway.com/">The Outlaw Way</a> programming. They have a muscle up progression that's apparently pretty much guaranteed, and they are always posting their followers PR-ing. I want in on all of that!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm following a week behind schedule, so I can adjust the days if necessary. Taking Thursdays and Sundays off. And by off I mean LOTS of mobility. I'm not going anywhere with my olympic lifts, I'm pretty sure, because I can't freaking land in a squat. Because my hips suck. So I'll be trying to fix my hips as well.</div>

14.1 was snatches (technically ground to overhead) and double unders. I suck at double unders. Thankfully I walked out of that one with minimal whip marks, and a below average score.<br />
<br />
14.2 threw in the overhead squats and chest to bar pull ups. I looooovvvveee overhead squats! Haven't done many C2B. I got through quite a few rounds though, and was happy with my score. Happy enough that I wasn't going to re-do that shit.<br />
<br />
14.3 - HEAVY DEADLIFTS. I love it. Deadlifts are my favorite :D I was shooting for a score of 100, got 98. Didn't realize how heavy 185# was gonna be after all those other reps. haha. Since there's no way I would have recovered enough in time to attempt that again, that was out.<br />
<br />
14.4 Just done tonight. A chipper. Yaaaaaay. God, I hate rowing. For calories. It got real ugly, REAL fast. Sean can attest to that. Rowing, toes to bar, wall balls, power cleans, and if you are so lucky to get through all of that, muscle ups. I wasn't one of the lucky ones. Not that I have muscle ups. ::sigh::<br />
<br />
14.5 The only movements that are left? I'm going with burpees and thrusters. My guess is a ladder. Hopefully no other mind fucks.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you care enough to "leaderboard" me, <a href="http://games.crossfit.com/athlete/238796">here's my profile.</a> Don't be too disappointed, I'm not good. My goal is to be in the top 50% of all the ladies. So far, so good.<br />
<br />
As I said, I didn't repeat any workouts. I thought about 14.3 for those measly (yeah, right) two reps, but decided my OCD wasn't worth it. It's enough torture going through the WOD once, I couldn't find the motivation or reason (what am I gonna go up 10 spots on the leaderboard? Woo. hoo.) to go through all that again within 3 days. That being said, I'll think about re-doing 14.4. Maybe I'll magically get better at rowing in the next two days. HA. God that was awful.<br />
<br />
So while obviously, neither of us are going to be competing at Regionals this year, Sean actually volunteered to help out at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals, and was selected! We find out what he'll officially be doing the end of the month, and we're going to book a hotel and go down and make a weekend out of it. I'm so excited. :) I love the atmosphere that surrounds these events, it'll be super motivating and lots of fun. That's also our 5 year anniversary weekend, and what better way to spend it than in the middle of something we are currently obsessed over? lol I'm sure it doesn't sound too fun to all you guys, but it's not like we could afford a Caribbean vacay. I'm ecstatic we can spend it doing something so awesome. I'll probably learn a thing or two, too. :)<br />

If you need me, I'll be on the couch attempting to recover from 14.4. Seriously still coughing. Damn lungs.<br />

I use Calendar to meal plan/keep track of bills/plans/birthdays, Google+ uploads my pictures every night for easy access, Gmail is sent immediately to my phone, I use Hangouts/Gtalk to talk with my husband all day long while being able to work.... It's just amazing! And I know that there are even more features that I don't even use...<i>yet</i>.<br />
<br />
The bad news is my phone/Nexus is also covered in olive oil, chicken, sauce, flour, dough, everything else you could think of, since it's <b>ALWAYS</b> with me in the kitchen. All my recipes are in Google Calendar, and I'm constantly referring back to what the next step is while in the middle of the recipe. Totally dropped my phone in pizza dough last night, <i>whoops</i>. Thank God for Otterbox!<br />
<br />
And I'm totally that loser checking items off my to-do list on my phone at the mall/grocery store. Swiiiiiiiiiiiipe, DONE! It's kinda more satisfying then destroying tons of paper lists ;)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Some other Google apps to check out:</span></b><br />
<u><b><a href="http://www.google.com/producer/currents">Currents</a></b></u> - I use this to follow a few different CrossFit blogs/sites to find WODs. Then I put them on our Calendar ;)<br />
<br />
<u><b><a href="http://music.google.com/">Music </a></b></u>- You can upload all your music to Google Music, then play it from your phone/tablet anywhere!<br />
<br />
<u><b><a href="http://drive.google.com/">Docs/Drive </a></b></u>- Unfortunately this seems to be blocked at my work, but this is awesome for creating/sharing any Word/Excel type documents. We're currently using it to log workouts.<br />
<br />
<b><u><a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/help/tasks/">Google Tasks</a>/<a href="http://any.do/">Any.do</a></u> </b>- I add items to my google tasks in the calendar, then sync it with Any.do app on my phone. I can also send stuff to my husband to add to his Any.do. Honey do list!<br />
<br />
<b><u><a href="https://maps.google.com/">Google Maps</a></u> </b>- I use this all.the.time. Never get lost again :) Latitude doesn't always update as much as I'd like, but I'm sure it will get there.<br />
<br />
<u><b><a href="http://www.google.com/chrome/%E2%80%8E">Chrome</a></b></u> - Only the best browser ever... on the computer. It'ssssssss a little slow on the phone. I'm sure they'll get there. I hope.<br />
<br />
<b><u><a href="https://www.google.com/offers%E2%80%8E">Offers</a></u> </b>- This isn't so much an app as it is a service. (but they do have an app!) It's like Google's version of Groupon. Pretty awesome.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.google.com/voice"><u><b>Voice</b></u> </a>- I hate Verizon's voicemail. Google voice gets all my voicemails, and converts them to text. Most of the time it's pretty accurate, other times it's just downright hysterical.<br />
<br />
The best part is the <i>SYNCING</i>. You can also have all of these apps/websites on your computer. And it automatically syncs with your phone/tablet.<br />
<br />
This stuff makes my life SO MUCH EASIER. Let me know if you have any questions on how to use any of the above, I'd be glad to help! Now that I sound like a Google whore...<br />

What apps can't you live without?<br />

I used to LOVE Google Reader as well, but that died a sad, untimely death.

SNOW DAY! Means I actually have time to write a post! <br />
<br />
You know what's awesome? When blogger randomly deletes all the pictures on your old posts. It's pretty sweet. You should try it sometime. I'm currently trying to update everything. It's a blasty-blast.<br />
<br />
Sooooooooo this isn't really a recipe, just a throwing stuff together to make deliciousness. But I suppose that is the definition of a recipe, eh?<br />
<br />
I posted this on a "facebook contest" to win 10 lbs of grass fed beef. I didn't win. :( Probably because they couldn't taste this through the screen. Then I definitely would've won. Oh well. The sweet/spicy combination is amazing. And anything topped with guacamole is a winner in my book. It makes great leftovers, too. Just double the recipe!<br />
<br />
Seriously though, this couldn't get any easier. You could even bake the sweet potatoes in the crockpot, a la <a href="http://paleomg.com/stupid-easy-perfectly-cooked-sweet-potatoes/">PaleOMG style</a>. That's what I did.<br />

That's me. Last post in November? What can I say. Life happens.<br />
<br />
Lots of happenings going on lately. You know we bought a house. I also got a new car, a new job. A new puppy?!? Not yet...but we're looking! <br />
<br />
Sean finally opened <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CFPlexus">CrossFit Plexus</a>! Whoop whoop! We now have a box to WOD in! Perfect timing, too, because the neighbors were getting annoyed with us dropping the weights in the basement. Apparently it thuds throughout our whole unit. Oops. We'll have to get some matting to put down there, eventually. I still use our weights for at home WODs. For days like yesterday, when it's literally 3 degrees outside. Not going back out in that #thankyouverymuch.<br />

Winter season is bulking season, right? We ate lots of goodies over Christmas. LOTS of chocolate. So, we decided to go a bit strict paleo for January. Well, most of January. Sean's bday is next week, we may take off for that. ;)<br />

My goal last year was to get a 200# deadlift, and a 200# back squat. SMASHED the deadlift! :) Still 5# to go on the back squat :( BUT! My CrossFit total is now at a pretty 500#. My OCD likes that. :D<br />

Even impressed myself with a 100# snatch the other day. BOOM. Still have lots to work on though. Tried for 105# a few times. Sean video-ed it. I should be on a fail blog for that one, such a mess.<br />

This year I <strike> plan to</strike> WILL get a muscle up. I also need to work on my double unders. No specific goal, just get better and stop whipping the shit out of myself. People are starting to ask questions.<br />
<br />
For 2013 we planned to follow Reebok CrossFit One and WOD at least 5 times a week. Well, we did it! I'm so proud of us :) It wasn't easy at times, and we had to do some rearranging for sick days, moving (totally counts as a WOD), etc, but we were picking heavy shit up and moving around at least 5 times every week. I love it. It's now a habit, and I don't dread it!<br />
<br />
This year I really want to focus on my mobility. My ankles and hips suck, and it's really hurting my lifts. I want to mobilize at least 3x a week. Hopefully more. Maybe if I write it down I'll hold myself to it.<br />
<br />
So! Expect some more recipes soon! I'm also posting some to Sean's CrossFit blog for the gym, to help out the members here: <a href="http://cfplexus.blogspot.com/">http://cfplexus.blogspot.com/</a> Be sure to check it out!<br />

<br />
They sell gently used clothes at a pretty damn good price. If you need to restock your wardrobe, are just looking for some new, easy staples, or going for a complete change, check them out.<br />
<br />
They also have kids clothes, AND buy back YOUR used clothes! You can send them a bag (for free!) of clothes you have laying around, and they give you money! Either cash, or credit for the site. <br />
<br />
I've got lots of work clothes from here, and I've loved almost everything. Returns are free if it doesn't fit, just pay the shipping. (if it fits, it ships!)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thredup.com/shop/women?&filters[price]=0,1,2,3">ThredUp</a> contacted me to be an ambassador (apparently I spend too much money there. lol), and offered a 30% off discount code for new customers. That's better than their free shipping promo going on! Use promo code: <b>SAVETU30</b> to get your deal! <br />
<br />
They also have sales going on all the time. The last pair of GAP dress pants I ordered were $8.99. That's cheaper than a clearance rack! I'm still waiting for them to carry better workout clothes. :P <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thredup.com/">Check it out</a>, you won't be disappointed! <br />

(a little late)It's been over a month since we've finished the Whole30. I'm slacking at blogging, as usual.<br />
<br />
August 30th we finished the Whole30. A whole 30 days of super clean, REAL FOOD. Here's what I learned:<br />
<br />
1. <b>It's not.that.hard.</b> - Seriously, not that difficult. Sure it's a PITA to cook every.single.meal., but make a plan, and stick to it! You'll find it's easier to eat at home then eating out... <br />
<br />
2. <b>Restaurants suck. </b> There is soy in EV.ER.Y.THING. Seriously, Chipotle? Ruining everything with soybean oil... Moe's? Why does your steak need to have "milk products" in it? It's fucking STEAK. Blech. Also, sweet potatoes with added sugar? What the what? C'mon people.<br />
<br />
3. <b>People will think you're weird.</b> - You'll have to explain what you're doing, and why you're doing it, multiple times. Get used to it. Memorize it. Give them your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/It-Starts-Food-Discover-Unexpected/dp/1936608898">It Starts with Food</a> book.<br />
<br />
4. <b>You will feel FAN-fucking-TASTIC.</b> - They aren't kidding. <br />
<br />
5. <b> It's a good thing I like to cook. </b>We had a different meal for dinner for each day (with the exception of burgers. There were quite a few nekkid burgers). This challenge would have been mighty boring eating the same thing every day.<br />
<br />
6. <b>I miss pancakes</b>. Paleo pancakes, but pancakes. And waffles. I made pumpkin pancakes that weekend and I swear they were the best thing I've ever tasted. <br />
<br />
7. <b>I don't miss bread</b>. I DO miss ice cream. And alcohol. And snacks.<br />
<br />
8. <b>I love eggs</b>. Scrambled eggs with Tessamae's hot sauce has been my favorite breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, ever. Omelettes are the shit.<br />
<br />
10. <b>Sweet potato fries</b>, fried in coconut oil, are the best thing since sliced bread. But better. <br />
<br />
11. <b>We need a bigger dishwasher.</b> I've been running it once a day, and that's not enough. It's full of tupperwares 24/7.<br />
<br />
12. <b>We're going to keep eating like this</b> <b>as much as possible</b>. I won't be too picky about going out to eat, but we don't do that often to begin with. We're only going off-roading if it's reaaaaallllyy worth it. Paleo "treats" only on the weekend.<br />
<br />
We have started adding stuff back, and I'm happy that the "reactions" haven't been all that bad<b>. </b> Sure, I still feel tired, sluggish, bloated and crampy, but it's nothing I can't deal with occasionally. Gluten (beer), and sugar, and probably soy were tested this weekend, with no major issues. Dairy isn't all that nice to us, so we've cut it down significantly. I've had ice cream once, and I'm sure it's in some of the food we eat out (I'm looking at you, STARBUCKS PUMPKIN SYRUP), but for the most part, we've cut dairy. I don't really miss it (thanks to coconut milk), and my face is thanking me for it :)<br />
<br />
SO! Drumroll please........................<br />
<br />
I'm sure you want the "final" results, eh? Sean and I both lost 8 lbs. Down almost 2% body fat. I PR'd my deadlift by 10#s. Sean's a beast and racked all our weights, and did 320#, twice. I ran my fastest 2 miles, ever, without running for 6+ months. We feel great, and don't feel deprived. It's awesome what eating real food and not processed crap/chemicals will do for you!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Day 1 off Whole30: <br />
<br />
I made <a href="http://zenbellycatering.com/2013/08/20/ny-style-paleo-pizza-crust-yes-really/">THE BEST PALEO PIZZA EVER</a> to celebrate. Seriously, amazing. I don't think I'll ever make a regular pizza again. A- It's not worth it unless it's NJ/NY pizza. B- This is a bangin substitute. It was still technically whole30 compliant with the ingredients, but some might call it "<a href="http://www.whole9life.com/2011/10/sex-with-your-pants-on/">SWYPO</a>" ;) I topped it with sauce, sausage, peppers, and onions. #NOMS<br />

Saturday was fantasy football draft day, so of course there were beers. Pumpkin beers. This was the gluten test. So far so good.<br />
<br />
And paleo <a href="http://detoxinista.com/2012/09/pumpkin-pie-cookies-vegan-grain-free/">pumpkin chocolate chip cookies</a>. <---I added an egg to that recipe.<br />

I'm once again stuck with a fruit from our CSA that I have no idea what to do with. We don't particularly like peaches, so just eating them was out of the question. Next best thing? Baking! </div>

Attempting this once again. I think I made it two weeks <a href="http://eatrunrach.blogspot.com/2012/08/whole30-day-1.html">last August</a>, but I'm determined to make the whole 30 days this time! Sean's on board for this go round, so that'll make it easier (I hope!).</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
So far we've survived the beach, a Phillies game, and a family visit. In the first 7 days. Apparently we're busier than I thought in August! Or we're just spontaneous. Let's go with that.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We're more than halfway through! So far it's easier than I thought it would be. Yes, I want ice cream every night, but knowing I <b>can't</b> have it, not just that I <i>shouldn't</i>, really helps.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
And yes, I did stay up until midnight a few times prepping/cooking foods so we'd have lunch the next day. It's a good thing I like to cook.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I've made a meal plan for dinners through the month of August. I just have to keep figuring out breakfast/lunches. HB eggs and deli turkey are getting old, quickly. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I should start making a list of all the foods I'm really missing. Beer. Ice cream. Cheeeeeeeeeeeese. Surprisingly, I'm not missing the cream in my coffee as much as I thought I would. (Good) black coffee is actually pretty delicious on it's own. Once I get past the fact that there's no cream in it. haha And Americano > Black coffee. Mmmmm so delicious!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The WOD a few weeks ago was terrible. I don't know if it was the fact that it was the 4th day in a row, or the 155# back squats, orrrrrrrrrrr GHD SITUPS (damn them), but it still hurt to walk Wednesday (from Monday!). We planned to take off tuesday, but the DOMS was just so bad that it called for two rest days. Oh well, life happens. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Then earlier this week we did heeeeeeeavy deadlifts. I'm pretty sure my hamstrings are STILL sore. I think I need to get into this post-workout snack thing. However, I wasn't tired during the WOD! Day 15, and I think I'm starting to feel the "<a href="http://whole9life.com/2012/06/the-whole30-timeline/">tiger blood</a>" :). I think we may consider eating this way for the long term. </div>
<div dir="ltr">

So we'll probably keep this up for awhile after 30 days. It's not as difficult as it seems, except for eating out, that sucks. And beer. And pizza. Lol. Having Sean do it as well for support really helps. Not stepping on the scale has been tempting, but I'm excited to see what the final results are. 12 more days!</div>

Last week was my birthday. Remember when every birthday required a party or get together of some sort? When did that stop? When did I not care about seeing everybody to celebrate my day of birth? <br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I even WORKED on my birthday. I know. Blasphemy. This must mean I'm REAAAAALLLLYY old. <br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
But I more than made up for that with a(n unintentional) 6 day weekend. No complaints here :)<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
After work we started the celebration with a birthday WOD. 26 (age) reps of 7 (month) exercises. I initially had 3 rounds (day), but Sean talked me out of that one. Good idea, babe.</div>

Then we cleaned up and went for sushi. Sean's idea. Fantastic idea. It turned out to be 1/2 price wine night, so sommmmebodyyyy got an entire bottle of wine to herself. Worth it!<br />

<br />
So we kinda signed up for our first CrossFit competition. There's two online qualifiers, and the top 20 men and top 20 women get to compete in Rehoboth one weekend in July. I mean, I'll take almost any excuse to spend a day (weekend?) at the beach :D<br />
<br />
We signed up awhile ago, and I've been kind of scared ever since. The description says it's for the "heavy hitters" and I am by no means a heavy hitter. But I'd like to be... (200# club I'm coming for you!)<br />
<br />
Random sidenote: We did deadlifts the other day that felt GREAT. 3 rep max @ 165#. I figured out my issue, I was trying to squat rather than deadlift. Don't ask. I don't know what I was thinking either. Thank you KStar. #becomingasuppleleopard<br />
<br />
Another random sidenote... HASHTAGS ARE ON FACEBOOK! (Can you tell I'm excited?) Can they come to blogger next? Pretty please? <br />
<br />
Back on track. <br />
<br />
So the first online qualifier WOD was posted early on Thursday night. <br />
<br />
<b><u>7 min AMRAP</u></b><br />
3 Snatch 115/80<br />
3 Bar Facing Burpees (jump over)<br />
<br />
6 Snatch 115/80<br />
6 Bar Facing Burpees<br />
<br />
9 Snatch 115/80<br />
9 Bar Facing Burpees<br />
<br />
12 Snatch 115/80<br />
12 Bar Facing Burpees<br />
<br />
Continue in increments of +3 for a total of 7 min.<br />
<br />
Not too bad. Considering I think my 1RM snatch is 85#. No big deal, right? lol Like I said, not a heavy hitter over here! I guess it could be worse. <br />
<br />
We lugged our bumper plates to Sean's gym and filmed the WOD there. I got 6 snatches into the 12th rep round. 42 reps total. Better than I expected to do!<br />
<br />

<br />
<div>
Don't mind the terrible form towards the end. I'm working on it. And apparently I like to walk around with the barbell overhead. And my husband can't hold a cell phone camera. (hopefully this won't disqualify me. :( ...that is if I even have a good enough score!)<br />
<br />
I did the math, and so far there are 71 people registered for the online portion of the competition. 26 women. If I play my cards right and basically don't come in last, I may just get my trip to the beach :D <br />
<br />
And then I can freak the fuck out and be terrified of what weights they are going to prescribe for the competition. Such fun. Lifting is such a mindfuck.<br />
<br />
Deadlifting a 75 gallon fishtank on moving day should help prepare for that. Yaaaaaaay.<br />
<br />
Oh, in case you're wondering, Sean did amazing as well. Got through the snatches AND burpees for 12 reps for a total score of 60. He's got a little tougher trip to the final comp, but I think he has a good chance :)<br />

Apparently this was the week of the "Girls" and Schmalls. Holy suckfest. This is also the week I learned how to do kipping pullups. LOTS of them. I have since developed some nice calluses to show for that. Oucccchhhhhhh.</div>

These are my coconut flour paleo waffles. Except I used 8 eggs (total) instead of the whites. Same outcome, much less planning! Oh, and homemade coconut milk chocolate ice cream. This was dinner last week. #thesprinklesarentpaleo</div>

But on the other hand, SO MUCH has happened in those four years. Moved out of NJ, got new jobs, new cars, and as of next month, a new house! Whoop!<br />
<br />
We went to OCMD two weeks ago as an early, somewhat celebration. It was lots of fun. Stopped at Rehobeth on the way down, and will definitely be taking lots of day trips down there this summer! <br />

We attempted to take Yankee on a walk through this park on Saturday, but got caught in the middle of a thunderstorm! Tried to wait it out under a tree, and then made a run for it and hung out in a dugout until it finished. Figures. Was pretty cool, but we were SOAKED and so over the walk at that point. We finally got our walk in Sunday morning before we left. Very pretty.<br />
<br />
Our new house has a fenced in backyard for Yankee. He's going to LOVE it :) Oh and stairs. Fatty McYank will finally be in shape!<br />
