Is it Beer:Thirty Yet?

T minus 2 days and counting. On a normal Friday after the week I've had, I would be drinking copious quantities of alcohol. So, yes, I'm crying in my steamed veggies. woot. Nothing to say, but that.

Missed my CrossFit class, courtesy of a forgetful brain and a phone interaction with my PREVIOUS vision provider. So, there was juuuuust enough light left when I came home to get a quick run in. I was KILLING IT for my first part (OK...killing it for me), then it kinda fell apart. Been working to push hard at various parts of the run hoping it will eventually translate to that level for an entire run.

Dinner @ 7:00

4 oz chicken breast

1/3 avocado

1/8 c black beans

1 c steamed broccoli

Overwhelmed

Yeah, I think it is really cool when I am on track to complete a project within my timeline and my "someone" decides we need to change up the entire process 1 1/2 weeks before the deadline. And the new stuff isn't even defined yet. So, I'm just over here stabbing in the dark hoping to meet my deadline with an amazing product that makes others Oooo and Ahhh. I'm terrified it's gonna be more like "Meh" and "Eh." Effing awesome. This next 9 days will be interesting. I WILL NOT be missing another day at the gym over this. It just makes me cranky and harder to work with. *end bitch session*

So Many Lat Pulls

Hopped into today's WOD, but did my own movements instead of the programmed ones. Good to feel included again. I did 126 lat pulls!! This, after working them yesterday and Monday. I'm gonna have some serious bat wings before this is over. OH! And grabbed the thicker green band AFTER all those pulls. Was within an inch of getting 1 strict pullup with that band.  Ummmm, BOO YA!! THAT is improvement!! I'm coming for that 1 strict pull up on my murder board.

Progress

Things are starting to ease up on the back. Still taking it easy and laying off of the lifts. Missed the 4:00 class I intended to do and had already promised Sam I would do the Gymnastics class since it is all stuff I can do. Following gymnasty I worked some DU...still little progress there, but I think I'm getting the elbow tuck now.

Don't you worry little barbell, momma's coming for you. Sit tight and dry those tears. There will be big lifts again.

Making Lemonade, who has the vodka?

No lifts for momma, so making lemonade. I "get" to train stuff I would normally avoid. *cue crying and temper tantrum* I didn't really do as much as I wanted to today, mostly because I'm suffering from yesterday's hike AND in all honesty...bored of running...kinda. Mentally making a list of movements I CAN do and will start piecing together some metcons based on those (maybe 5) movements. but, it's all stuff on my murder board, so no time like the present, right?

Also looks like we are on the right track with this meal plan. Dropped 3# this week (WOO HOO!)

Wiped

Family took a ridiculous hike today. The plan was 2 - 2 1/2 hours, so I packed what I needed to get through that timeframe. We hit the trail at 11:30 (about an hour later than intended) and didn't exit until 4:00. Nearly a 4.5 mile loop that was tougher than expected. Feet are killing, but according to my calories tracking app....I might have burned 2580 calories on that hike (that's estimating only hiking for 3.5 hours since we had a number of brakes. LOTS of complaining about feet and exhaustion along the way.) At one point my blood sugar was crashing so bad I knew I needed something. I always pack Clif Bars and LaraBars for emergency snacks. But improvised with a half a sandwich Ed handed me instead. Probably the better choice over the 2 bar types. Anyway, I think we did it wrong today and my food was a bit whacky, but not too terribly out of sorts. :)

Absolutely fricken STARVING when we came off the trail. Hit Chili's for dinner and note my excitement. They LISTENED to me! They made a salad out of the margarita chicken AND it has avocado! I'm in love! Ordered it minus corn salsa and rice. Next time asking for more greens. Left a lot of black beans on my plate.

Imma Tight Ass

Got a massage today to try and relieve the back issue. Turns out I'm a tight ass. LOL! In other words, my glutes were pretty locked up and might be the source of the back issue. So, LAX ball and I will be having a few hot dates over the next couple of weeks. Currently icing and drinking lots of water. Fingers crossed it is relieved by Monday. Special shout out of thanks to my dear friend for the awesome massage!

Yes, I took a photo of breakfast, then promptly deleted it as I was clearing all of the photos from my phone. ARGH!

Shit just got serious

Opened up my Zombies, Run app for my first 1 mile run during the WOD. Right out of the gate, our compound is under attack by zombies and they are sending ME out as a distraction...WITH a beeping backpack to attract them towards me! Ummmm....WTF?! I JUST started this run! Shit seriously JUST got real! Within my first 100 meters I was already sprinting from my first zombie swarm and not in a fast way, apparently, because the only way I could get away from them was to drop one of my items to distract them. During mile 2 I find out that the "partner" I was running with in the story screwed me over by turning off her radio and when she turned it back on we find out not only were zombies approaching from the south, but also the west and east. Awesome....I'm screwed. With the next attack I sprint my ASS off! Look down at my Nike + app for my average pace...really? Barely sub 10?! My FULL sprint equals the average persons milage rate. **blank stare* So, yeah...I ran today. LOL!

I refuse to be frustrated. Right now I can't bend over without hitting a catch in my back, BUT vertical works! So, went to the gym anyway, not to WOD, but to foam roll, go for a run and then ice. It was successful! Aaaaaand....that was my day. I know...riveting.
