This was the reply after jonnythan advised likeaslidingrock to log consistently and accurately after having a look at her diary: The fact of the matter is that without an accurate daily log, none of us can provide her with any solid advice other than to log consistenetly and accurately. She seems unwilling to acknowledge…

Blocking jonnythan does not make his responses (blunt as they may be) any less true or his advice any less valid. @likeaslidingrock - I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with so much right now, but I would suggest that you begin to log your food and exercise accurately and consistently so that you can truly see how…

Did it as a cash out with one of my coaches last week (I used the empty women's bar). I had to stand up/stay standing a few times, but I managed to get through it all! It was actually quite a lot of fun!!

Friday's WOD 10 to 1 Exchange Descending Ladder: Kettlebell Swing (55lbs/35lbs) Kettlebell Sit-Up (55lbs/35lbs) Ascending Ladder: Burpees *Perform 10 KB Swings & KB Sit-Ups, 1 Burpee, 9 KB Swings & KB Sit-Ups, 2 Burpees, and so on… I used a 25lb KB for both the swings and the sit ups - heaviest I've gone to date!! Woot!!!…

GAH!!! I have tears in my eyes reading this!!! I don't know you but I really am so proud of you!!! Keep going...you will be AMAZED at yourself!! Friend request coming in 3...2...1...

That sounds like fun!!!!

FRAN!!!! Scaled to 45# thrusters and ring rows...finished in 6:01. Looking forward to making improvements!

Haven't posted here in a while...oops! Yesterday: Warm up - 3 sets 8 pistols 10 wall balls 12 situps I took a 10lb med ball to the face in my second set of wall balls. That was no fun. My neck still hurts from tensing up so much when it happened. Strength/Skill Back Squat - 1x10 @ 65%, 1x8 @ 75%, 1x8 @ 80%, 1x8 @ 85% I did…

So much awesome!! Thank you all!!! I've got a couple of pictures to choose from and some ideas in my head for wording...will add mine once I get home from the office!

Also, this:

I could have written your OP almost word for word not so long ago! At 190+ lbs, I'm the heaviest girl at my box. At nearly 38, I'm also the oldest girl...and one of the oldest members overall! I struggle constantly with feelings of inadequacy. And then I remember that I am 190+ lbs and nearly 38 years old and the heaviest…

How much "admining" is involved?? I would be happy to help out but my available time to do so is somewhat limited.

I seriously need to stop reading this thread, but it's like a train wreck!! lol! This gal will be steppin' up for a very long while!!

Squat snatches on tap for our WOD today and I'm not necessarily looking forward to it because it is my weakest lift. It feels really awkward (even though my coaches tell me my form is good) and I get too inside my head when I'm doing them. I say all of this for no other reason than to say "I feel ya!" Also, definitley…

OP, if your knee can take it, I'm also in the weighted lunge camp. Standing, walking, matters not...I ALWAYS feel lunges in my butt withing the 48 hrs after doing them (dealing with some *kitten* DOMS today, in fact, because I did them on Tuesday). Oh, and if your knee can handle Bulgarian split squats, they will do your…

Day. Made.

This!! My next half marathon is on Sunday. I hope there is a Boston's close enough to make this my post-race meal!

Agree!! It's nice to know that the day I piss myself attempting a squat PR, I won't have to hold back.

Strength: 4 rounds of: 5 ring pull ups or bar assist pullups with light band or deep ring rows 1 rope ascent or 3 beginner rope modifications (pull up from prone position on the floor to standing) 5 handstand pushups or strict presses I did the deep ring rows, beginner rope pull and 55# presses. In the heat and humidity…

Yesterday: 4 rounds for time: 25 butterfly sit-ups 20 traveling alternating pushups (scaled to planks when I could no longer do pushups) 15 ring pullups (scaled to ring rows) 10 KB swings (scaled to 20lbs) Finished in 20:48. I was exhausted but thrilled to have made it under the 25 minute time cap.

This is stated more perfectly than anything I could offer, so I'm just gonna...QFT.

Add my voice to the chorus of "more water"! Dehydration, even slight dehydration, can wreak havoc and headaches are a pretty good indicator that you are mildly to moderately dehydrated. Other symptoms include: Dry, sticky mouth Sleepiness or tiredness — children are likely to be less active than usual Thirst Decreased…

Yesterday: Warm up: 800m run 5 sprints up one side of the box Strength/Skill: 15 minutes of handstand/walking on hands practice -I love working on handstands and I'm getting better at balancing away from the wall! WOD: 50 thrusters (155/105) *every time you drop the bar, perform 10 burpees* I was dreading this WOD!!…

As a fellow marshmallow, I can completely relate to this!! I've been crossfitting for about 5 or 6 months now and I'm always the last one to finish and it has been that way since day one! The only advice that I have is to just keep going. Just remember that the only person you are really competing with is YOU!!! Keep track…

I definitely push myself, but I do so in the smartest way that I can. Yesterday, I could feel the pull in my abs during the warm up so I knew that I would need to go lighter on the weights for floor to overhead and kettlebell sit ups. What I lacked in weight, I made up for in rounds so the workout was more of a cardio…

That's quite the slammin' body you've got there!! Congrats on your success!!!

I've got nothing to offer up as I am still a ways away from where I want to be (still have around 30lbs to drop until I get to my "goal weight" even though that is completely arbitrary), but I know I'm gonna have skin issues, particularly my stomach. Hoping others will comment with insights, so... IN for the pointers!

Awesome work!!! Hope you had a great birthday weekend!!!

Yesterday: Warm up - 3 rounds of 5 push ups 5 air squats 5 pull ups or ring rows 5 wall crawls (tweaked the pull in my abs again doing these) Strength: 4x16 (8 each leg) Bulgarian split squats --I used 15lb dumbells and managed to mostly keep my balance (I really don't like doing these...I always come thisclose to losing…
