Pretty huh?

Coach Zach sent me this pic.....no glamour photo's during CrossFit! :)

Party of 1?

Folks..I'm done with the pity party train. It's not appealing and does NOTHING to lift me up. I refuse to wallow and will just move forward. There are many things lacking in my life but I also have much going for me.

Nuff said...

CF WOD:

"Karen" + 1K row

"Karen" is 150 wall balls(20lb men,14 woman....6lb gimp:)

6:57

1K row 4:47..not too shabby.

Tonight I plan to complete my 100 squats and do as many ab crunches as I can stomach. Good times! Shoulder felt those wall balls but no pain..


Mel sent me a killa video on Box Jump technique. Good stuff that will ensure I nail those box jumps!

The Best!

Sunday is for Sprinting

This morning I couldn't figure out what workout to do. Spin? Run? nope...

Finally I landed on EPOC 400's with 50 assorted exercises mixed in and some hill sprint at my favorite track, Murchinson.

WOD:

50 Lunges

400M Run

50 Push-ups

400M Run

50 Dips

400M Run

50 Squats

400M Run

15:17..sucky time

Added another 50 squats.

7 Trips up the hill of death!

Walked a few loops with my friend Clara:)

I'm VERY sore from yesterday's workout, even with my scaled attempts. 5 rounds of 40 hang cleans is allot of work no matter how you break it down. My back is sore from KB and rowing as well. Fish oil...take me away......

Might have a commercial this week. I've got people referring me for work so I must be doing something right:). My co-workers surprised me with a laptop on Friday. They seriously got together, fixed up a new laptop and gave it to me for personal use. I'm honestly blessed to have such awesome friends in my life.

I dig that my lipstick is glossy even though I am DEAD!

Idol Dreams?

Odd dreams man....odd.







I dreamt that I was auditioning for American Idol. Instead of the usual panel of judges, it was Tyra Banks and she had me audition on a swing??? The girl before me bonked and was in tears. There was allot more but it's fading as the hours go by.


Some of you know that I'm a singer, have been since I was four. Sang all through middle,high school and some college. It would have been my major had I not been forced to play an instrument. Changed majors to Radio/TV/Film after that. I hardly sing in public anymore unless it's karaoke or an impromptu thing. While I'd love to try out for the show, I believe I have passed the age cut off.


Such a waste!


Today is an absolutely gorge day! I got a great 4 miler in and then hit CF for a team WOD.



Today's WOD:

4 Rounds




40 Hang Power Clean
30 KB Swings
250 M Row


Time:17:47



**Squats with James for "fun".


Due to my gimpy shoulder I went VERY lite with weight.The shoulder does feel much better though:) Rolling out and trigger pt have proved to be invaluable for my healing process.



Busy weekend;meeting with my director about the SXSW-March shoot, going to nail down a time for LA Trip, Taxes,friends,work,workouts,CLEANING.......and more.

Steak It!

Do you remember that from Wil and Grace??? I loved that show so much!

Fact: I don't eat much red meat....like less than once a month. How can this be????? Simple, I'm a lazy cook and chicken/fish seem so much easier. It's so rare that when I get a piece of steak it's all I can think about for days. I've had steak two nights in a row and really wish it was in my breakfast container. My iron count needs to be higher!

Mmmmmmm steak.

Saturday night will be buffalo meat with veggies and I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Today's WOD:

100 Squats
Leg Press
Calves
ab work
45 min of spin

Yesterday's WOD:

EPOC Lunge/AB routine from week 1. PR'd by 1 min and 2o seconds.
70 squats

Shoulder is healing but I'm scaling all shoulder stuff for another week. Foot is ready to run!

Happy Friday!

New Badass Chilog

Chilog is my word for Chick Blog.

Anyway..check out THIS blog. I purposely captured a post on Paleo eating which rang true for me. This blog is authored by Lory, Jessica and Lindsay, all of which happen to be in my "I AM CF" team. They are fire breathers who never settle for less than they want!


Just a little shout out!


Yesterday I did some walking and 100 squats, foot is bueno! We have a team WOD this weekend and I'm ready to get back in the game.

Had a Dream

So...I had a dream last night that my calcium count was almost nonexistent. Somebody will be upping their intake of Cal sups and sardines this week.



It's weird how our dreams showcase that which is on our mind.After my mother passed on I came close to making a mistake with something of a financial nature. No lie, she came to my dream that night and YELLED at me, saying I was making a huge mistake. The next day I didn't go through with the investment...which was a GOOD thing.



Weird??



While foot is healing well, my shoulder has a distinct crackle as I do arm swirls and stretch. There is no pain but it feels off. I'm finally able to sleep on that arm now and open doors without the aching feeling of a pulled muscle:). I impaled myself on a tennis ball last night and almost cried...but it seems to help.



Come on body....we can do this. I'm sorry that I took you for granted and didn't give you the rest you deserved. Lessons that shall not be forgotten anytime soon. How about a nice deep tissue massage?
