1 week down, 5 more to go with this Paleo Challenge. My first week has been chalk full of temptations of all sorts. All in all I think I've done great! I miss cheese like crazy as well as half n half for my coffee. I can do this for 5 more weeks. It'll be so worth it when I go to Boise. Not only will I thoroughly enjoy my food when I'm there, but I know my clothes will be fitting better and running the 5k will be easier. I tried on a sweater that my sister gave me a couple years ago. It's never fit, like not even close. It was so tight I've contemplated getting rid of it several times. I was able to wear it yesterday and it fit perfectly. Hurray!!!!
Crossfit is always hard, but there are days where it's hard and it feels good, and then days where it's hard and you want to die. Today I wanted to die.
Our warm up was kettle bell maxercise. Basically we did several minutes of nonstop kettle bell exercises.
Our skill set was all about hang cleans.
It was 10 sets:
flat footed clean pull
hang power clean
hang squat clean
jerk
I loved the jerks. It was my first time ever doing them. I must admit I did feel a little bit like a bad ass.
Our WOD was in a group of 3:
row 3000 meters
120 burpees
I'm slowly conquering my fear of running. It's not as hard anymore. Rowing on the other hand suck so bad! It's crazy hard and my stomach fat likes to get in the way, which makes it harder to catch my breath. I wanted to quit so bad. If it wasn't for my group/team, I don't know how well I would've faired.
It's only 7pm and I'm tired enough to go to bed. Unfortunately my husband is out of town working, so I'll have to stay up and get the kids off to bed in an hour.
I'm looking forward to seeing how my body changes during the last 5 weeks of this challenge. It feels really good to fuel my body on clean foods. My mood is better, I sleep SO much better, and I think it's a good example for my children.
