I was so tired Friday morning, I hardly slept Thursday night...just couldn't get my brain to shut off. I had promised Christina I would meet her at the 6am class, so I dragged myself out of bed & went. It's a good thing I taped my goals to my bathroom mirror because typically I'm a big baby about going to CF in the morning if I haven't slept well. The alarm goes off at 5:15am, I feel wiped out and tell myself it's ok to skip, I'll go another morning. I felt better once I got to the box and was really glad I came. The workout felt good, I can already tell a difference about how my body feels. I've worked out more this week (5x) than I have in probably 2 - 3 years. I had the energy to get through the workout and for the first time the pull ups actually felt good. I still use a band, but I was able to get closer on the chest-to-bar than I had before. I'm sore today but will be fine with some stretching and today is a rest day.
MetCon = 5 rounds + 2 PC
10min AMRAP of:
3 Power Clean (85#)
5 chest to bar pull ups (green band)
7 Wall ball (10#) 11′

Friday night was the monthly supper club dinner with my girlfriends. It's one of my favorite things to do, it's a great group and we always have a good time. There's always a ton of wine and lots of laughs. Last night, I drank club soda & was 'ok' with eating - there was warm brie w/crackers & a yummy greek salad hummus w/pita chips for appetizers, I was really hungry when I got there and chowed a bit on that, but did better with dinner. I had salad, shrimp and a little blue cheese coleslaw, skipped the garlic bread, cheese souffle & dessert, but didn't feel like I was depriving myself. I'm going out to dinner tonight with a couple of friend to celebrate our birthdays, so I wanted to save my cheat meal for that.
Even balance is always what we are searching for. Great job again Hol.
ReplyDeleteRemember you have to keep on a schedule and come in even if you are sore. It took me 5-6 weeks to get used of a 3-on-1-off schedule when I was doing workouts off the mainsite. The longer you do it the better your body will adapt.
Balance is something I need to work on - too often I go all or nothing. Thanks for the note, I really appreciate it. I decided I'm going to make out my schedule in the beginning of the week so I have it set and then all I have to do is GO!!
ReplyDeleteNice work Holly! I like that you have your goals posted to your mirror, I love it!
