Barbells For Boobs!


Today I will be going to an event my CF Box is hosting called Barbells for Boobs!

Best Part is, JEFF is participating in the event!!!

They will be doing a CF wod, and all the participants fund raised $$$ to be apart of  it!

I tried to donate to him, but apparently my $$ is not accessible right now, someone tried to hack into my account??

Apparently when that happens, they do not let ANYONE use their money. 

Stupid Hackers. 

Anyways, my day yesterday was CRAZY as expected. 

But Jeff's birthday celebration was pretty fun -happy 21st b-day Jeff!

Everyone have an amazing Saturday!

Scared for Tomorrow!!!

When you work with kids in an afterscool program, there are some days that you DREAD and wish you had a sudden ilness that coulod keep you from work...

Early Release Days. 

Am I being over-dramatic? Maybe. 
But tomorrow is a day where (school usually gets out at 2:15) The bell will ring at 11:45
And we will be watching crazy hyper children from 11:45 - 6:00 p.m.

(this might be me at work tomorrow?)


It gets worse for me, Because I have to go 

To school at 7 a.m.
Straight to Work
Straight to Dinner for Jeff's Birthday & a Movie...


So If I don't post tomorrow, now you know why ;)

Food Time:
 Breakfast: Egg & Apple


 Lunch: GIANT Chicken & Veggie Greek Salad



 Tried herbal tea for the first time today... LOVED it


 Dinner: Veggie & Chicken Stir Fry from YC's Mongolian Grill..
I LOVE that place, it is so diet friendly!

Water Chestnuts, Broccoli, Onions, Zucchini, Carrots, & Spinach
(& now I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!)

Fat-free, Sugar Free Frozen Yogurt!

LOVING the Journey.



I want EVERYTHING in this picture. 

I would not look good in it yet tho... Goal?? Future Rewards?

So far I am LOVING CrossFit!!

I LOVE the Family like atmosphere 

I LOVE people yelling to cheer me on while I do my wod

I LOVE that I am getting blisters on my hands


I only wish I had been converted to CF earlier!

Today's 2 wods went pretty well 

Wod 1 For time:
20 Shoulder to Overhead 185/110
40 Bar Facing Burpees

I did TOO well on this one. 
I didn't know how much weight to do for the shoulder press, So I just did 50 lbs. 
Unfortunately, that was not heavy enough and I finished before everyone. 

Oops, I should have had a heavier weight like some of the other ladies!

I finished in 5:33


Wod 2
5 rounds for time:
250m Row
(rest while you partner rows)

I partnered up with Jeff for this one, ane we did pretty good for my first time EVER rowing! Lets just say I do NOT like those rowing machines! I am going to be SORE tomorrow!

We finished in 10:46

Best Time = Food Time

 Breakfast


 Snack: Banana & Choco Peanut Butter


 Lunch: Cheese stick, apple & almonds


Dinner: Chicken Lettuce Wraps. 
I was crafty and took a pic of the cooking chicken since I was at Jeff's house, and I do not use my phone at their dinner table lol!


Hope everyone had a fabulous day!





My 2nd Workout with E.V.C.F.!!!




Have you heard of this yet??? I am SO excited to try it!
(on a cheat day)

I recently got a coupon for FREE candy, and I was SO excited to find out there is a healthier option out there for when we want a sweet treat!

Exhausted.

Was it the CrossFit?

I took TWO small power-naps today...

And now, an HOUR before I usually go to bed, I am EXHAUSTED and heading to bed. 

This is definitely going to take some getting used to!

I am ALREADY sore, but that is probably a GOOD thing :)

And now to the good part:

1st Breakfast:
Just wanted you to see the time... 6 A.M. 
This is when I was getting ready to leave, and taking an awkward picture with my banana. 
Obviously. 

2nd Breakfast After CrossFit: 
 Peach? Nectarine? I can never tell the difference
 2 egg omelette w/ cheese

Snack: 


Lunch:
Chicken & Green Beans. 
Best way to eat them in a hurry?
With some Italian Salad Dressing sloshed on top. 


Dinner:
(unpictured)
:(

Dined at the bf's house tonight, it was DELICIOUS
My plate had all of the following on it:

Avacado
Pork
Squash
Salad
Steamed Veggies

 It was like a DREAM come true!

There were so many veggie options to pick from - 
It was wonderful, and RELIEVING to see a table stuffed with veggies,
and not the usuall assorted bread products and desserts. 


I ended my night studying Biology with Jeff. 

Apparently Biology is not my strongpoint?

I have failed two tests so far...

Yeah its not looking good for me. 

I wish watching this show actually made me LEARN science:




Workout of the Day: 1st Time at the CF Gym!!!!



You have NO idea how relieved I was when I saw this w.o.d.

I used to do gymnastics & cheer-leading for YEARS

I was VERY confident in my abilities to do this!

We started out with warm ups using a ladder and running drills...

I SUCKED at the ladder, and was pretty slow, but I felt a littler better when someone else in the class tripped...

Is that mean of me??

Then it came to doing Handstand walks, Forward Rolls, Barward Rolls, Cartwheels & Roundoffs..

I WAS SO HAPPY

This was a great day to be my first day... Because I was the best at these!

Thanks mom and dad for all the years of gymnastics & cheer!

The First Workout The Coach had me to 10 push ups in the place of muscle ups. 

It was STILL HARD

2nd wod....

DEATH




Seriously...any cockiness I had about being awesome with gymnastics moves went down the drain.

THIS WAS ROUGH

Unfortunately, I could NOT do a Toes to Bar. 

I had to do knee ups instead...


I finished in 13.42

Not to bad for my first time eh???

Afterwards I came home and laid down and DIED

Then jeff called me and told me to get up and drink water and eat before I fell asleep.

I guess that crazy feeling after a REAL, HARD workout is going to take some getting used to???

Happy Workouts!
