Burpees and Bunco!


Today was a great day...why you ask? Because it's FRIDAY!!! Yahoo. This week dragged on like no other! I was a little disappointed I wasn't informed of this casual Friday at work, a bunch of people were wearing Bears/Packers stuff and jeans. UM I SO would have taken advantage if I knew, pssh. I just got back from playing Bunco with about 400+ other women and let me tell you it was rowdy! I've never played before, but mom asked me if I wanted to go with my aunt and a close family friend, and plus the money goes to local organizations, so it was well spent. And guess what, I won TWO prizes!!! Our table came down to myself and another girl with the most wins, then we had a roll off to see who got 3 of a kind first. And THIS girl won, talk about beginners luck! And I also got the prize for having the last Bunco. So I got a necklace and this cool set of bags. Not too shabby for a Friday night!

Food for the Day: Breakfast: 3 eggs and 2oz leftover fajita stuff. Lunch: 6oz meatloaf 2oz roasted sweet potatoes and 2oz trail mix. Dinner: (rushed bc of bunco) 5oz hamburger with cheddar cheese, half an apple with 2TBS sunbutter. then he bad stuff at bunco...that was irresistible and SO DELISH....a glass of wine...DESSERT: all bite size mini desserts....a small eclair, a tiny red velvet cupcake, a chocolate cup, and 1 1/2 cookie/chocolate cup thing. and oh.my.goodness. they were heaven! yummo! now that my cheat is out of the way...back to the good stuff tomorrow

Strength: Front squat 5(65%)-5(75%)-5+(85%) training max moved down to 61.5 kg from 68kg because I didn't meet all my reps last week. So I did 5@40 - 5@46.5 - 9@52.5. The second set already felt heavy, so I was a little nervous going into the 3rd set. But good thing Tommy Mo was next to me reminding me to stay back on my heels and keep my back straight so I was able to bust out 9 reps. It was depressing to lower my training max again, but hopefully I'll be back at it again soon!

WOD: Complete 10:00 AMRAP of: Deadlifts (100/65) Burpees. Do 1 of each for the first round, 2 of each the second round, 3 of each the third round etc... Looking at other scores on the board I was shooting for somewhere in the 10 rounds range. I got through round 5 and I was only 2:40 in, so I was like alright I'm good to go. But shoot those sneaky little bastards of deadlifts caught up to me! By round 7 my back was really starting to feel it and my sets were broken up. I was a little disappointed with that but then I realized that 65kg is a little over 70% of my single rep max and I did it 60 times. woofta! The burpees I was able to fly through without a problem and didn't have to break them up. I was hoping to get more along 11 rounds, but ended up with 10 rounds plus 5 dead lifts. Overall, I was pleased, but boy was my back on fire after that. So to finish it off and save our backs we did 4:00 worth of plank holds. That sucked at the time, but my back is thanking me for it!

Well, surprisingly I'm off to bed before midnight on a Friday night! This is a miracle! I'm getting more than 5 hours of sleep before Oly Lifting/Team Saturday. Can I go for a hat trick with Team Saturday wins??? Stay tuned to find out! :)
