4/25/2013 WOD:
Run 200 m at start of each round
50-40-30-20-10
Double Unders (4x singles)
Sit-ups
Time: 19:45
I did another workout with the class. Twice in a week! I think it's been since December since that has happened. I had my own workout planned but was talking to a few of the regulars and they convinced me. I made the unfortunate mistake of drinking water right before we started and cramped up miserably during the single unders. I wanted to give some doubles a shot but was in too much pain to attempt to jump higher. Residual soreness from Tuesday plus the lack of AC left me unwilling to do pull-up and overhead squat work as I had planned. Reason # 135135801 why I stopped doing the classes!
Tonight is my last night in my house! It's so empty. Just bedroom furniture and a few odds and ends left to move tomorrow, plus my two girls. I know Beane has been a little more on edge with me taking things out of the house. I'm curious if she remembers the last move or when my almost ex-husband moved out. If she think's I'll leave her too. I keep telling her we're moving but unfortunately she can't grasp it. Tomorrow she'll finally see what it's all about!

Lions and Tigers and Bears...oh my!
4/22/2013 Lifting:
Clean: 5x3 [65 lbs]
Deadlift: 1x5 [95 lbs, 135 lbs]
Double Unders: 5 minutes
Squat: 3x5 [95 lbs]
Press: [45 lbs]
Sit-ups: 40
4/23/2013 WOD:
Pull-ups: 3x5 [banded]
5 RFT
50 yd Bear Crawl
20 Burpees
30 min cap
Time: 15:00
All this moving and working on cleans over the weekend left me super beat-up on Monday night. I was feeling fatigued early for sure, but still felt like I put in pretty good work.
And last night I did the wod with the class for the first time in over a month. I wanted to do more body weight stuff since I was still pretty sore and was sold when I saw bear crawls on the board. I also knew class would probably get started pretty quick and I was right. I was very very happy with my time! It made me feel better about skipping classes that it isn't hurting me overall. My shoulders were on fire by the start of the first round of burpees and I was quickly wondering if it was a bad decision to do the workout but no regrets. Bear crawls are always worth it!
The move is in the final stages. Having the free time living the unemployed life has allowed me to pack and bring things over as I want which has been fantastic. Makes packing up and moving an entire house much easier. All that's left are my clothes, bedroom furniture and of course my precious little pups. They'll be the last thing to come on Saturday morning. Then we'll have the rest of the weekend to help them get acclimated. My fantastic boyfriend even took Monday off work to spend with us to make it a little less stressful. Lucky me!

I've been very very slack when it comes to this place over the last week. However, in my defense, I've been packing, painting, job hunting and hauling boxes.

Hopefully in the next week once the move is finished and I'm just at home hunting for jobs we can return to our regular schedule over in these parts.

So I got a bit behind there. I have a very valid excuse, I promise! Friday morning after an hour or so of work I got laid off out of the blue. I came home, worked like mad on my resume, headed off to Raleigh for the weekend, spent Monday packing (BTW...my house finally rented and I'm moving in with the boyfriend soon), and Tuesday looking for jobs, prepping the boyfriends dining room for paint, helping my mom. Just finally got some time where I didn't feel like I could be doing anything else. Can't pack because I'm out of boxes. Can't paint yet because I furniture needs to be moved. So here I am blogging, catching up on news, and g-chatting with the boyfriend while trying to return to some kind of normal routine.
Hopefully the painting can be finished by Friday, finish the packing over the weekend then get moved in by the end of next week. My house won't actually be rented until July 1st, but the boyfriend suggested I move in now while I have free time so it's not rushed and so I can be around while the dogs all get acclimated in their new place. He's fantastic by the way! Plus our weekends in May are pretty tied up so it's now or June. Now sounds better to me too!
Oh yeah, and all those workouts above went well and great too! We'll get back to the normal routine here shortly.

Sweat Monster
4/9/2013 WOD:
Pull-ups: 3x5 [banded]
For time:
30 Hang Power Cleans [45 lbs]
30 Front Squats [45 lbs]
30 Kettlebell Swings [26 lb]
30 Goblet Squats [26 lb]
Time: 11:28
Tabata: Burpees and Deadlifts [Burpees only]
I went in feeling great. I left a sweaty mess.
My pull-ups were very successful. I noticed the last few times I was struggling after the second or third rep, but this time it wasn't until the fifth that I was barely getting my chin over the bar.
I decided to do the WOD my gym had on the board yesterday. Seemed like good work and I'd feel okay not making up my squat work I failed yesterday with the two sets of squats in the WOD. I'm sure it was still partly the new addition of warm weather we're having, but damn this one did me in! So much so that I was only doing 5-10 goblet squats at a time.
I started chatting with some folks after and didn't feel like putting in the work from the tabata, but the boyfriend was all set up and ready to go so I decided to only do the burpee portion and rest extra while he did the deadlifts. It was fun to chat and every 30 second stop and go all out for burpees then pick up conversation again. No where else would this be acceptable social behavior.
I'm feeling the cleans and swings this morning! And probably a little bit from holding the bar in the front rack for the squats too. I love putting in good work and feeling the results the next day. Makes all the sweating, terrible faces, grunting and feeling winded worth it.
Speaking of sweat, my non-deodorant experiment is still going strong! I haven't been sweating any more than usual and I swear I smell better after a workout than I did when I was using my regular deodorant. I even confident enough to through my arm pit in my mom's face last week when I went over for dinner after a workout. No grimacing, just pleasantly surprised! Bring on the heat, I'm ready for it!
