CrossFit Houston's Women's Challenge
I'm competing in my first CrossFit competition July 10! I'm in the scaled division, so the weights will be lighter and more doable for me. I can't lift the heavy stuff like the girls in the standard division. I'm super excited and can't wait to compete in something again!

30 push ups on knees
30 slam ball- 12 lbs.
30 kb push press- 15 on left, 20 on right

Ran 1 mile on treadmill at gym. Started at 5.0, then up to 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0. Finished the mile in 10:41. Felt okay considering that's the first mile I've run all year!
I'm competing in a CrossFit Women's Challenge in July and there might be some running, so I'm trying to get a few runs in before then.

CrossFit
Warm up with 3 rounds of 10 air squats, 10 sit ups, 10 push ups on knees
Front Squat
3-3-3-3
75, 85, 95, ran out of time on last set
Felt good. I think I would've gotten 100 at least once. 100 is my 1 rep max, so I'm getting stronger!
WOD
Fight Gone Missing
3 rounds of
1 minute push press- 65 lbs.
1 minute rest
1 minute wall ball- 14 lbs.
1 minute rest
1 minute box jumps- 20 inch box all jumps
Total- 175 (Rx)
Push press was tough! I only got 12, 11, and 10 I think. That's what kept my total down. Tried 100 pound squat after workout, but didn't get it. Legs too tired from all the wall ball and box jumps.
Good workout.

Battle Buddy 57- Perserverance Through Hardship Fundraiser for Texas Children's Hospital
WOD done with my partner Monique
WOD done with my partner Monique
57 box jumps- 20 inch box
57 push press- 55 lbs.
57 sit ups- 12 lb. dynomax ball
57 lunges- 20 lb. dumbell
57 pushups- chest to ground on toes, worming allowed
57 KB swings- 30 lbs.
57 squats- 20 lb. dumbell
57 burpees
Time- 14:50 (really it was 14:47, but she didn't hear me yell time)
This WOD/fundraiser was so much fun. I really had a good time and did some things I don't normally do in workouts. Like jumping up and down on a 20 inch box. Normally I jump up and step down when doing box jumps and most of the time I use a 16 inch box. Burpees went well, too. Normally when I go down for burpees I step out, but this time I jumped out and in. The lunges were surprisingly easy, so were the situps and push ups. I did have a hard time with the push press and squats, but I am weak, so that's to be expected. Good thing my partner was stronger than me, so she was able to pick up the slack there. I'm weak, but there were some girls out there weaker than me. It's sad to say it, but I was glad to see that!

Cake Overdose
Ugh...that's all I can say about cake right now. I know what cake, and sugar in general do to me, so why do I keep eating it? Because it's so YUMMY! Moderation, moderation, moderation is what I try to tell myself, but that doesn't work for me. If it's in my house I will eat it any time I think about it or walk into the kitchen, which is basically ALL the time. You would think I could control myself, but I just can't!
Before Kate's birthday I tested outa new flavor- graham cracker cake with chocolate and marshmallow filling. I wanted to try it out before her actual birthday to see if it was a flavor I wanted to go with. The filling ended up being too runny and the caked didn't really taste like graham cracker, so I decided to go with something else. Even thought it didn't taste like graham cracker, it still tasted good, so I ate and ate and ate until I made myself sick! I literally made myself sick. The next day my stomach hurt and I had to stay close to the bathroom.
Fast forward a couple of weeks to the days after Kaitlin's birthday. I ended up making a chocolate chip cookie flavored cake that was super yummy and a chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling. Not only are there cake scraps from leveling the cake, but I always make too much cake for our little parties and have tons left over. What do I do? Eat it...a lot of it...for breakfast one day...for dinner another day. I ate a ton of cake and again made myself sick. This time it wasn't just a few hours. It lasted 2 days! 2 long, miserable days.
The sad part, if you put a cake in front of my right now and I knew it was super yummy like the ones I make, I would totally eat a piece. And if you left it at my house, I would probably have another piece today and another tomorrow and another and another until I got sick again. What's wrong with me?!

Double unders are always tough. I can do them easily, but they are so tiring. It's like sprinting compared to just jogging. Singles are so much easier...you don't get near as winded.

Catch Up
I don't know why I thought I could possibly keep up with 2 blogs when I can hardly keep up with one! I haven't stopped working out, I just haven't been blogging about it! I do like this blog though because when I want to see the last time I did a certain workout or exercise, I can just click on it and it shows all of them, so I'm going to update it with all the workouts I've done since my last post. Here it goes...
