The Masters class has been a little shy of 'foggies and old farts' lately. But, I am never lonely cause like tonight some newbies show up, 4 marines and an airman. It's fun to workout with my sons! The WOD was 500 m row, 150 jump rope (or 50 double unders which I haven't mastered yet. Ha, I haven't even tried! LOL) x 3 rounds. I'm able to row the 500 m each round, but modify the jump rope to 100 each round. Each round is tougher to finish and I get slower but more determined to finish. Coach Lamarr is very attentive and constantly giving pointers on form or yelling 'dig deeper'! I love it! My husband once said "you never could take orders" apparently I'm learning! To be successful at CrossFit the mantra is No Ego, ______, and Have Fun! Well I do all three, even though I can't remember what the second thing is right now. At the end of the w/o I like to ask "is that all?" It's my way of saying I can do this.
About healthy eating, I've decided to get a couple of sessions with a nutriutionist to get me educated about carbs, protien, fats and what quantities I need. Tonight I was talking to Andrew about food intake and he was suprised when I said I eat only one egg, some avocado, zuccini and fruit for breakfast. Apparently 1 egg is only 7 or 9 grams of protein and for my body weight I need 20 grams. Coach concurred. So now seems like the right time to get some one on one with someone who really understands nutrition. Doc's wife is a nutritionist so I may check out her creds and make a couple of appointments. I want to be cautious who I take advice from since I have high cholesterol and other med. conditions that I take meds for. Probably by now my cholesterol is way down. Yea!
Andrew is a buddy from the box whose wife is expecting their first baby. He was so excited tonight cause they found out the gender. He said "I'm getting a boy! I mean I'd love to have a girl but I'm getting a boy!" It was very dear to hear him talk! Z said it the first CrossFit baby at our box! I suppose there'll be a shower/party. What fun!
Doc was telling me on Saturday that last year they had a big New Year's party right in the box. Typically I stay home or babysit for family...not this year! I'm going to the party and leaving my sleeping bag in the car so I can drink and sleep in the car if I have to! What Has Happened To Me???? This is a whole new me.
Oh, big break through tonight. During warmup I did 20 push ups and 3 of them were the real kind (not the knee pushups). I was so excited. I'm definitely getting stronger. Look out handstand push ups, here I come! LOL.
I do have to pay more attention at warmup time...I keep getting into the w/o when coach is only asking for 3-5 reps as a warm up. He said they don't count for the time, but that "I'm banking them". No wasted movement!
Well it's bedtime and I have a big day at work tomorrow. A hugh Federal Court filing is due and I'm the go to girl after the attorney writes it. All this exercise has cleared my mind so I up for the challenge tomorrow. Last workout of week 13. L-m
