Wow! Thats a tough one! I did Helen this morning and was sick :s First time that has happened. I think its because I was alone again, just with the coach so he was really pushing me. Really really need to work on endurance. Slow and steady does not win the race!

So how to work on that? More cardio?

Slim fast includes meals too doesnt it? I looked into it and decided not for me, but if you can keep it up then great :-)

Very interesting, thank you

There is a crossfit group that you may find good :smile:

Ooh thats a good one! Very well done :p

:D Back again today and it was packed. Warm up was rowing, Junkyard dog and v planks on front and back. WOD was 3 clean and jerk, 3 knee to chest, then 6, 9, 12 etc ... 7 min AMRAP. Need to get some gloves for that pull up bar...

Nice :smile:

I love rowing but running is a real struggle for me. I also don't like upside down stuff!

Turned up yesterday and the box was empty! So I worked on my oly instead and got PBs: Clean and jerk - 37.5kg Deadlift - 75kg Not as much as most on here yet, but Im pretty chuffed with myself! B)

I think I am developing down the strength route also. Just getting started again after job change and yet another virus, and my strength is coming on leaps and bounds, but I scale more on the cardio sections - I guess Im just not fit yet, but the strength is easier for me and I guess Ive always been the springy, stronger…

Good reading :-) Trying to live up to it!

:p I didnt know there were options for having breast milk yourself on this site lol!

Will do ;-) Dont know if health benefits related to fast diet will apply still, but Im hoping it should do the job for weight loss anyway!

Ive just started a watered down version where I eat 150 below my TDEE for 5 days and 1000 on the other 2 days. I like variety a bit too much to do a standard lower calorie diet reliably without rebelling, and 500 calories seemed too low to start with along with breastfeeding, so Ive made a compromise that mfp says will…

Chickenpox in the house! I guess this means no crossfit this week...

:) In theory I could travel from the other direction, but Im a super novice so maybe not this year :p There are some in my box that are in the competitions though. They are doing something at the moment.

This cycling seems good. I wonder if I could apply it to other areas of life...eg exam prep, sorting the house? Probably not work or toddler care!

:o :p

I used to do one in Middlesbrough pre pregnancies. Might get back into it o:)

Ooh that looks really good. I would definitely be a novice but I find competition helpful. Ill ask at the box to see if they know about it - it may just be in USA. - just checked, there one in the west midlands, but thats it for the uk at the moment.

Pretty cold here too, but now I actually have one! Unless my daughter has Fifth's disease, which is another possibility. Housebound... :'(

:s Doing it in 7s (and being slow as usual) stopped that in some ways - I was ok till I got to about 115.

Lol! Yes my time wasn't that great, but I pushed on through so Im happy. Also the others said my technique was good B) It helped to have them yelling at me when they finished.

In our box if you don't write your score, you get extra burpees ;-)

My first shot at Karen. Thats a mind one - I counted in 7s!

Warm up: 400m row 3 x (3 burpees, 6 pressups, 9 squat jumps) WOD: A) 2-2-2-2-2 Thrusters for quality - 32kg B) 21 thrusters, 21 power cleans, repeat with 15, then 9. - 17kg, 13 min 21 sec lol! meant to be a B not a smiley I scaled of course (actually only 3kg below on part A)

I used to log it as 500 calories Crossfit (i.e. added my own exercise). Now I log it as 1 calorie and include it in my diet plan

:D Hello
