So, I'm still out. Surgery isn't until the 3rd of June. And OMG I'm going crazy. My mom and sister are here and really are "helping".
I will be so ready to come back, let me tell you!

Hanging In There
To say I'm nervous and depressed would be an understatement.
I had an ultrasound yesterday, and they aren't supposed to tell you what they see. However, the woman accidentally hit the cyst that has been bothering me at just the right point and I practically jumped off of the table. She confirmed that there was a cyst and that it was on a follicle. (I don't know what that means exactly).
At this point I just want to get the surgery over with. Seriously. I want to have energy back and I want to be able to work out without fears of something in my body exploding (I doubt that that is how it works, but...it sure feels that way!)

Broken
So, after four and a half months of keeping up my goal to do 200 WODs in a year, I have some crappy news. I'm having surgery sometime next week and won't be able to work out for a MONTH! I'm going crazy. I have some issues I won't go into (girl troubles, lol) and I'm not looking forward to this surgery. At all.
Wish me luck! I'll be around. I'm definitely going to try and do my best to walk as much as possible. EEK.

Running With The Big Kids
WOD #69
29:59
2 rounds for time of:
Run 100 meters
25 Box jumps 12″
Run 100 meters
25 Sit-ups
Row 200 meters
25 Walking lunge
Run 100 meters
75 Singles
Pros: I did 2 rounds of 25 box jumps. That is not easy for me.
Cons: The runs were ok on the first round, but I had a hard time with them on the second round, especially on the transistion from run to box jump or lunge to run!
This was a hard WOD, but I did this with the class (although I scaled it from 3 rounds to 2). The box jumps were so hard on me that literally there were people on their double unders once I finished the first 25! I would of loved to do a 3rd round, but I would of been another 15 minutes out, and that doesn't work right for the idea of scaling...as it was, I finished about 9 minutes after the average person. I am proud of myself that I didn't chicken out on taking this with the class. Also, I so love that Crossfit people don't judge and just let me do my WOD even if I suck. :)

Head Games
Date: May 2nd
Wod# 68
Michael 18:11
3 rounds:
200 m run
25 back extensions
25 ab mat situps
Pros: I have never done 25 back extensions, let alone 3 rounds.
Cons: Everything else.
The first round of running was fabulous, but by the time I finished the back extensions I wanted to die. It was killing me. I wish I had hustled harder on round 2 and 3, but in the moment, the pain was just too much. My back was really burning. Live and learn, I guess. After the WOD, I had to row 1000m for time (which, incidentally, I didn't write down the time, and I know I went as slow as possible because my back was KILLING me). I kept standing up to stretch my back out. I also was given the assignment of 50 burpees, because I just didn't capture the "intensity" that Shain wanted. I only had time to do 15, but I am going to yoga early today to do the rest.
Danny and I, even on the Zone, ate out WAY too much last month. This month, we are cutting down on sushi to once a week, and that is our ONE dining out a week. I made lasagna again this weekend, and this morning, I threw salmon in the fridge to defrost with a bit of olive oil, soy sauce, and white wine. I have no idea if that will be good for a marinade, but I will brush it with mustard and soy sauce before I cook it.
I went to the endrocrinologist again today. I'm still not regulated, and I'm really frustrated. All I can do is eat right and work out. But, it's disheartening. It's not as if I'm doing anything to screw up my thyroid, that is on it's own, but...my body drives me crazy.
I also saw my infertility specialist. I told her how I had been pondering Paleo, and she said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I guess the Zone is better for PCOS. I'm really going to bust my butt the next few months. It's hard when I get so emotional, between exhaustion, medical issues, and everything else. She said I need to be nicer to myself. That made me cry. LOL. Surprise.
