So I was super excited to hit the WOD today. I got to introduce my love of crossfit (more specifically Albany Crossfit) to two freshly on-ramp graduated friends. Today’s WOD was the hang squat clean for 5 sets of 3. I worked with one of the girls to show her the moves. She did great! I got to 75#. I was super happy with that!! I’ve noticed since working with Dean on my snatch and clean movements that my confidence is growing on some of these movements. Like I said before (and will say again and again) I want to improve my technique over my strength right now. Working on a 75# squat clean for 3 touch and go reps, will make my 30 reps of 95# clean for Grace so much easier.
Part Two of the WOD was 10 wall balls and 5 T2B for 12 a 12 minute AMRAP. Holy cow! Minute felt like 40!! I used 10# for the wall balls for the simple reason that I wanted to see how my technique work. I got my 2 new girls set up with their ab mats and was excited that the bars in the triple WOD I can reach up and grab and do knee tucks. My confidence was building on knee tucks and know that if I keep going to Gymnasty with Kia, I will eventually get my toesies to the bar!
Overall I did 10 rounds in 12 minutes which means 100 wall balls and 50 T2B.
Well Part 3 today was gasser fun in the new triple wod. LIke everyone else at ACF, I’m super excited that we have more room and that we are growing. I however, didn’t want the bigger room because I knew that meant more running. Today was a gasser with burpees in between. I tried to go as fast as I could so it was less burpees for the next person to do. Lucky for me, I had a speed racer in front of me, so my burpee number was kept low. :)
I had every intention of leaving ACF but promised I would help with necessary cleanup with the big room. Well, I ended up staying until 1:30. I felt great helping the coaches by painting, taking some pictures, painting, but I didn’t plan for that food wise. I should have left and ran to Hannaford but I didn’t even think about it. I drank my liter of water and was satisfied however, when I left, hungry took over.
I had every intention of going to DD but didn’t. I stayed strong and grabbed a sandwich from subway loaded with veggies. I had appointments the rest of the day and wasn’t hungry at all. I drank another 1.5 liters of water throughout the day. I grabbed cashews for a snack.. I wasn’t hungry and no one was home and I took the easy route. Today was not Paleo friendly which I’m ok with. I don’t count it as falling off the wagon. I tracked my food and my activity points. Logging my food for 16 days, is more than I have in 4 months. I used to be sporadic but it’s keeping me in line. Probably one of the reasons, I lost weight this week!
Can’t wait to get back to work tomorrow…for the sheer food planning. I’ve got steel-cut oatmeal cooking in the crock pot to enjoy in the AM. Perfect start to the day. And hoping the rest of the day goes great too!
Stats for day:
WOD, 20 minutes of mobility post WOD; helping at ACF- painting, painting, painting. More couch stretch at home
80 ounces of water consumed; took dog for walk too!
