Hi Gang! For some reason, I can't upload any pictures today. I don't know what's going on but I don't have time to mess with it any more right now. So....I'll figure it out, I hope, by tomorrow! In the meantime, I want to give an update on our Challenge. Let people check in and that sort of thing.
**
We are on Day 8 of the Board Short and Bikini Spring Challenge. That means that if you've been keeping up, you should be doing your 8 burpees today, along with your 5 minutes of squat therapy and 50 squats that you do every day. If you've skipped a day or two (say over the weekend, like I did) you'll have to catch up. For me that meant 21 burpees and 150 squats this morning as my warm-up before the WOD. :)

How is everyone doing? Any feedback and support for others? How about your nutrition? Have you dialed it in to support your efforts and help you succeed? Give an update.

Tabata Squats
((Keep track of your total and you can ADD IT to your running squat total for the challenge.))
I'm keeping up with the challenge elements. I've also added an additional challenge to myself to consume a minimum of 100oz of water everyday. I'm not counting any sparkling water or my water drinks like "Spark" etc...
ReplyDeleteThe benchmark workout was a good one I thought. Hard, of course but, all crossfit workouts are hard in someway for everyone. If they're not, add some weight or bring up the intensity people! ;o) LOL Anyway, I felt like I did ok and look forward to seeing my results change for the good in June.
As for nutrition, as I expected, this is the hardest part for me. I had terrible nutrition this weekend as I celebrated 2 birthday's and gave myself one chinsey excuse after another. Even with my 100oz of water, I still managed to consume Dr. Pepper's. I'm striving to do better going forward. Surely I HUGE AdvoCare order arriving Wed. will help me!! :o)
err...I meant "MY HUGE AdvoCare order" ;o)
ReplyDeleteI have really been trying to dial in the nutrition. Not complete paleo but no sugars and overall healthy eating with tons of veggies and only lean meats. The first week I didn't get enough fat and really bonked on a few workouts. So adding more fat.
ReplyDeleteThe workouts last week and so far this week have been a bit more intense which I really like. Looking foward to seeing the long term gains.
oh, and 19:40 on the wod 130 for tabata
