I tend to eat 3 times a day most days without snacking. Though some days I only have two meals. I tend to do really well with a high protein meal and some fat. If I feel a snack attack coming on, I will have some herbal tea with a spoonful of coconut oil. That seems to hit the spot and fill me up.

Thanks for the tip! I am going to try this. I have also had success storing berries in mason jars instead of the container they come in.

I agree, track sugar.

Some days I watch my calories and some days I don't. I definitely watch what I am eating in terms of making sure I have protein, fat, and a veg. Then I look at how I felt that day, was I hungry a lot or not. Needless to say, lately I tend to be in the 1200-1600 calorie range. I do have some days here and there that are…

I'm back!!! Or at least I did my first WOD today in the last 2 months. I got into a car accident and had to take a rest. I did not worry about my time, I was more concerned with finishing without irritating my back. 4 rounds for time: 400m run (I had to sub with 500m row) 21 Wall Balls (14lbs for women, I did 8lbs) 15 ring…

The mix of the run and deadlifts on Monday did a number to my already strained back. I felt fine during and was just a little sore before my appt yesterday. I went light for me, I can do 115lb but decided to stay at 95lb. Since I got rear ended I have been getting treatment with my chiro and massage therapist. I was…

I am going to try my first WOD tomorrow since I got rear ended, almost 2 weeks off. After a few chiro/massage appts I am feeling pretty good. I have never been so excited to work out. I miss Crossfit!

Hmmmm, I kind of want to try it with my knees. Wonder what the difference is??

We put one foot in the band then cross the free foot over. You should definitely be able to do a pull-up with the thick black band. I am using a medium gray band mixed with a small red or small blue depending on how many pull-ups we are doing.

I am on the injured list until next week :( The most I can do is walk and stretch. I am loving all your posts, keep em coming!

Holy squats, Sasquatch!! Nice job!

modified WOD due to left arm soreness from car accident 10 minute warm up on stationary bike 3 rounds 2 min bike 25 air squats 20 back extensions 15 each side oblique (I think?) V-sits We did not time anything. Just wanted to get some movement in and see how my arm felt.

Wed 8/24 Helen 3 rounds for time 400m run 21 KB swings 1 pood 12 Pull-ups 16:49 I was 30 seconds slower since my last time. I am ok with this since last time I was using the thickest band. Today I was using a lower resistance band. So its a win in my book. One day I will not need bands, I am determined :-)

Tues 8/23: 30 minutes of Plyometrics then Death by Push-ups (strict) 1 rep in the first minute, 2 rep in the second minute, 3 reps in the third minute, etc. Go until you can't finish the reps for that minute. I completed 9 reps/minute.

Today is a well deserved rest day. Tomorrow I am taking part in the Portland Oyster Urban Adventure Race. It is like a mini-Amazing Race around the city of Portland, we will be biking, running, and solving clues. Should be super fun and lots of action!

8/18 Barbara! Yowser... 5 rounds, 3 min rest in between rounds 20 Pull-ups (med grey/thin blue bands) 30 Push-ups modified 40 sit-ups 50 air squats 5:55, 6:19, 6:56, 6:52, 6:36/ Total time = 44:51, my individual times may be off by a few sec. Everyone in the class are WAY smaller than me weight wise and I killed them. I…

Wed 8/17 Front squat max 1 max - 10 reps @70%- 1 max - 20 reps @60% - 1 max - 30 reps @50% During the reps, you had to go all the way through all reps without dropping. You could rest at the top but if you dropped your weight, you take a fail. 100/70/100/60/100/50 I am so proud of myself that I can do 100lb max front…

After a Pull-up/burpee fest I could not straighten my arms for 3-4 days. They also were extremely swollen. I got worried and called my trainer. He suggested icing the swollen/sore areas and it worked. Anytime I am sore inside of my arm at the elbow bend after pull-ups, I ice now and it does the trick.

Sometimes we do hand release but most of the time it is basic push-ups.

I am back from vacation! Well sort of... I am resting one more day before I start my WODs back up. I took about 2.5 weeks off. It is going to be rough. You all looking like you have been kicking butt! Keep it up.
