CFT Hit 2009 pr!
Workouts lately have been tough. I'm pretty much following the main Crossfit site plus adding some running, usually 2-3 times a week. Always a sprint & a tempo and if I make time I'll throw a long run in there too. I'm able to run 5 miles in my five fingers pretty easily under a 9 min pace so I'm happy with that considering I'm still weighing around 135.
Only 1 more week of the paleo challenge left. I've cheated a few times- peanuts, cliff bar, cheetos, red wine, whoppers. I'm still proud of myself because never once did I feel out of control with it. I do eat when I'm stressed, but I didn't beat myself up about it & I didn't tell myself, "You've screwed up already so just eat what you want. You blew it." Instead, I got right back to eating healthy. I feel fabulous. My skin is clearer & less dry. My allergies are still bad, which I was hoping wouldn't be the case. Isaac's reflux is waaaaaay better. I've not lost any weight besides maybe 1/2-1lbs, which has surprised me. I expected to lose 3-4 lbs, but it's not been the case. I wish I had measured myself, although my clothes aren't fitting looser. I can tell that I'm stronger, my muscles are more defined, and my cellulite is almost non-existent. I feel tight & firm and there's no better feeling then that! Even with no weight loss my attitude about myself has improved a ton and that has been invaluable and Riley's favorite part of the experiment as well. Pics coming on Thursday!
The workouts:
Today's CFT 420 (I reached my old CFT pr back in April 2009!!!!)
BS: 140 (old pr!!!)
DL 205 (10 lbs off pr)
SP 75 (old pr)
Yesterday:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
Run 400 meters (I rowed 500m(
7 Muscle-ups (I subbed 21 pullups with band and 21 dips)
*my triceps are still so weak that I couldn't even do ring holds! gotta work on that. Only completed 3 rounds
Wednesday:
am: ran for 30 min: 5 min warmup, 1 min on/ 1 min off, 5 min cool down. Stayed between 7 and 730 pace for majority
pm: Five rounds for time of:
135 pound Overhead squat, 5 reps...I used 75#
10 Toes to bar
40 pound dumbbell Hang squat clean, 15 reps...I used a bar & forget how much weight
20 Double-unders
*This workout was toughest one I'd done in a long time. Took me over 30 min. Riley went after me & finished in 18 something.

Paleo Week 1 Results, CFT, & Recipes
Nat and I started the Whole 9 30 Day Challenge (basically even stricter Paleo- no sweeteners even if natural like honey or agave, no coffee, etc). I've lost 1.5 lbs after the first week, my attitude about myself has improved significantly, & I'm tighter & haven't been bloated at all. I think Nat would say she feels the same. So far, the first 2 days were the toughest for me...the results of a sugar detox I'm sure! Riley's eating Paleo plus dairy & peanut butter, so that helps significantly that he requires no grains. I took pics of me the first day of the challenge but I'm going to wait til day 30 to post them.
Also, here are some favorite recipes that I've tried recently:
Egg Cradles
Tropical Macaroons
Spring Salad with Prosciutto & Grapefruit (I substituted bacon b/c I'm cheap)
Barefoot Contessa's Lobster Cobb Salad (I subbed tilapia & shrimp for lobster & left out the cheese)
Inspired by Jen, I did Crossfit Total this morning to see where I stand. My total was 395...
130 BS...10lbs off pr
190 DL...25lbs off pr
75 SP...reached pr.
