A-Z for Me...

January 2, 2012

I have seen this done before, so I wanted to see if I could come up with my very own A-Z for me in 2012... here goes...

Act on your own impulse.
Believe in yourself.
Change is good.
Dont give up.
Ever.
Fix whats broken.
Grow with every challenge.
Hunger for your own success.
Improvement is inevitable.
Just say YES.
Know yourself.
Laugh, often...
Make it happen.
Never underestimate yourself.
One day at a time.
Push your limits.
Questions make you stronger.
Reach for the stars.
Smile every day.
Trust your instincts.
Understand your body.
Victory is sweet.
Work hard.
X marks the spot.
You are in control.
Zero excuses.

Todays WOD was fantastic. Hubs had to work unfortunately, so he couldnt come to the "holiday" edition of CFW this week. I on the other hand got the chance to sleep in a little bit and still be at CF for 8:30 to get my day off right. This was one of those "feels like it was written for me" WODS when I just feel unstoppable. It was that perfect blend between strength and cardio... and I am one of the few who actually enjoy a good OH Squat!!

WARMUP:
Row 500m
2 Rounds
- 10 Pullups
- 10 Pushups
- 10 Spiderman
2 X 9 Fundamentals
 Row 500m

WOD: "Mahem"
4 Rounds for Time
- 10 OH Squats (75lbs)
- 20 KB Swings (1 pd)
(my time 7:12 Rx)

SKILL:
Skipped "Dipps" to work on my pullups...
5 X 5 Toes through rings (kipping)...
3 X 5 Kipps on bar...

The 7's

September 15, 2012 Ahhhh, Saturdays. I love Saturday mornings at the gym. I usually get a little more sleep than normal, I get to have a little coffee and "awake" time before heading over and since I dont have a time constraint (most of the time) so its a totally different feeling than 5:30am. On Thursday night M had posted a "challenge" on the board. He, K and another CFWer had completed it and when I was looking at it on the board he posed the challenge to me as well. Told him that I would go for it on Saturday... so today was the day! I woke up thinking about "The 7's" and I knew that I was not going to back away from this challenge. For some reason, I was nervous about this one. I think I was just letting it get the best of me. I knew after talking to K and M that it was pretty deceiving the way it is written on the board. I mean you look at it and think, well, that cant be THAT bad. Than you quickly remember that when a CrossFit workout doesnt...

Take That Burpees...

August 30, 2011 I was exhausted last night when I got home from work around 7:45. I don’t even think exhausted is the word… my eyelids were heavy and I just wanted to curl up in a ball and sleep. I have nasty fall allergies and I am thinking that the storm may have jumpstarted them with all the trees flying. I was in bed at 9:00 and slept pretty well… Funny thing was, I woke up thinking about CrossFit and what the WOD would be this morning. I was thinking (at 5am) that we haven’t done burpees in a while, maybe I was dreaming about them. I went downstairs and decided to hop on the website real quick to see what was in store… hmmm what do you know… BURPEES! M and K must have been in my head last night! Off to CFW I went, T was there burpee-ing (is that a word) away when I pulled up. I got right into the warmup. Funny how a 200m run feels like nothing now. My feet feel light and my breathing is much more controlled. The 9 fundamentals are coming along every week with my form improving...

January 18, 2017 Tonight after coming home from daycare and watching "a snowman," Mr Z actually said "no" to watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse... which is a miracle in itself. It was too early for bed time and it was bath night, so I brought him up early to hop in the tub with his other favorites, Nemo and Dory. After we ran around and chased each other all over my second floor while the tub filled up, he took a long (and bubble filled) tub. Its really one of my favorite times of the day. I take him out of the bath, we giggle while I kiss his little feets and tell them they are "my feet." He is all warm and snuggly and smells like Johnson Bubble Stuff... his eyelashes are still a little damp and hes sleepy in his eyes after a fun energy filled day. We lay together in his bed (the twin bed in his room), he makes sure he is positioned just right in the bed with his head on his pillow as tight to my side as he can be... legs crossed (always) and we read boo...
