WOD: In teams of 2
21 min AMRAP
100 m calorie row
80 lateral burpees over Erg
60 kettle bell swings
40 lateral burpee over box
20 pull ups
Scott and I went again on Saturday and did the workout together. Each partner was to complete 10 reps in each piece of the workout while the other rested. We completed 1 round. In the light of the class, we were pretty slow, but Scott was new at kettle bells and just doesn't move as fast with burpees. And of course, burpees are not my thing either! However, it was a great workout and I always love doing these partner workouts with my honey.

Strength:
Snatch, build to 1RM
WOD: for time
"Isabel"
30 snatches #135/95
Oh Snatches.....how I wish I could perfect you! I love these, but I have a terrible squat. I need to work on it. I think it is a combination of lack of flexibility when in a squat and holding the bar over my head, as well as strength. My 1RM was 75 lbs, but I only was in a half squat, never a full squat. I need to work on that. It was an option, but a full squat is more efficient.
I complieted the WOD in 4:44 with 55 lbs.

Block Meal Plan
Tomorrow I am going to start the Crossfit Block Meal Plans, which closely resemebles the Zone Diet. This isn't a diet, but a way of planning meals according to your body type and energy needs, and to enhance fat burning and physical performance.
Here is a link to the meal plan: http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/cfjissue21_May04.pdf
I consider myself a medium sized female, so I will be following the 3 block meal plan. It can be challenging for me to eat properly when I am at work. I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts and I am not always able to eat on a regular schedule. I am going to do my best by planning ahead and having my meals prepared the night before so I am not scrambling in the morning.
I am weighing in at 134.8 lbs right now. I have only lost about 4 lbs since starting crossfit, but I know I have gained muscle weight. My goal right now is to get down to 130 and then re-evaluate whether or not I need to loose any more weight.
I am also considering moving the blog to Wordpress, but haven't yet decided. If I do, I will make a post with a link. Even though I know no one reads this, as it is simply for my own benefit and record keeping! Lol

Saturday November 8th
WOD: In Teams of Three
18 min running clock
200m run
AMRAP burpee box jump overs 24"/20"
AMRAP overhead walking lunges #45/25
Scott and I did this with Danielle, and it was a tough workout. I thought the burpee box jump overs would be the hardest, but the it was actually the lunges that was a killer for all three of us. We used the 20" box and carried a 25 lb weight overhead for the lunges. We kept track of all our reps and reported them off to each other as we switced stations. The run was like a rest! LOL. Total reps between the burpee box jumps and lunges was: 422. Not bad! We were about middle of the road compared to the other teams.
This week was a hard one. I did go on Thursday, but I hated the work out and I am not going to record it. I have been extremely sore between Wed and Thurs and that is one reason why the lunges were hard for me today. My arms and quads are torn up. I will have two days off now because of work and my body needs it, so I won't complain.
This week I am going to work on losing 4 lbs, so I am really going to work on doing the crossfit box diet and see how it works.

Strength - 4 rounds:
A. Hollow Rocks for 30 sec, rest 20 sec.
B. Toes to Bar negatives, 6-8 reps, rest for 20 sec.
C. Left Side Plank hold for 30 sec, rest for 20 sec.

Hold kettle bells while partner is rowing #53/35
Did all four rounds of the strength.
Used 35 lbs for the kettle bells and Scott and I completed the 6 rounds in 14:48. I did not really love this workout at all. Rowing is not my thing. I am not efficient at it, but it is always good practice. The kettle bells were really heavy for me having to hold two of them at 35 lbs, but the lighter ones were taken, so I did it! Scott did the same weight ;)
