After two days of not really Zoning as well as I should, I feel crappy and ready to be back. I went to Sunrise Cafe this morning to get an omlette (I didn't get home until 9:30 last night...I'm too old to get my food organized that late!) I feel a lot better knowing I'm back and eating right. It wasn't that I was eating junk for the last two days, but I really wasn't having the right combo of fats, carbs and protein. Not fun.
WOD #56
Front Squat 5-5-5-5-5
53-58-63-68-73
This was cool because I hate hate hate front squats. I have an issue with the rack position...namely, I can't really support it. I am uber-flexible but this position just doesn't work for my body. But I ended up being able to get some practice in today. And I looked back to WOD #27 (February) and saw Front squat 3-3-3 58-68-68...this is a big improvement! Things like that help me to feel like I'm getting somewhere.
WOD #57 4 Rounds, 4 Squats
As many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
200 m Row
15 Air Squats
10 Dumbbell Push Presses 10 lbs
5 Kettlebell Swings 35 lbs
I'm so glad that I've become consistent with my WODs and eating. If I had been keeping this blog since I started Crossfit, there would not be as much of a steady improvement the way there is now. The truth is I am fighting a crappy disease (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS) that causes weight gain. It can be really depressing and for awhile I gave into the depression. But I've realized that every time I give into the disease, the terrorists win. And I'm not going down without a fight.
