Weekend Review

This weekend was super crazy. So crazy I haven't had a chance to write about Friday or Saturday. Friday I was gone all day until about 10:30 PM. Long day! Yesterday I was running around from 7:45 am to 2am! even longer day! But it was a great weekend full of celebrations for great people. With that said, my diet was nowhere near 100% paleo. I kind of have been hitting this conclusion of "i don't want a diet to run my life and ruin my chances of enjoying myself." So yesterday I had two wedding receptions and a birthday party. I was good at the birthday party. First reception I had a few beers and a cookie along with some pork and corn, not so bad. At the second reception I had a crazy amount of delicious food. Chicken and mushroom skewers, two small pieces of this sausage pizza that was on like a chibata bread, salad, steak, chicken, roasted veggies, and 2 small spoon fulls of mashed potatoes (best ones i've ever had!) and then the dessert....I'm a sucker for sweets...small piece of cheesecake with berries and chocolate and a small piece of chocolate peanut butter pie...and 3 martinis. Anyone who was at that reception can attest to me when I say "small" because it was given in certain proportions. Obviously not like one bite, but enough to fit the craving and be satisfied. I was definitely stuffed, but it was all delicious. I've come to the conclusion that I don't do this EVERY weekend or multiple times a week, so it won't completely make me "fall off the wagon". I'm not going to beat myself up for enjoying myself. But I'm also not going to continue to indulge ALL the time. Onto the workouts..

Friday:
Strength: Press 6-4-3-2-1-1 21-25-30-34-38-43fail-42.5fail

Press sucks. I haven't been able to PR on this in a long time. Can't get past my 42kg. Frustrating, but one of those things I have to deal with and continue to work on.

WOD: 125KB swings for time *at the top of every minute complete 5 burpees...start the wod with burpees. 6:25

Before the WOD started Bill came up to me and said if I reach around 5:30 and I finish my 100 swings (which was the prescribed wod) to go to 125. I hit my 100 just before 5:30 so I continued on to 125. My shoulders were smoked so the burpees slowed down, but my swings felt great.

Saturday Oly Class:
Hang clean 25(5)-30(4)-35(3)-35(3)-40(3)-45(3)-50(1)

I really wanted to work on my second pull and getting my elbows around faster. My elbows have prevented me from many heavier cleans, so it was time to pick my clean apart and work on it piece by piece. My speed got a little better with the lifts, not where I want it to be, but seeing improvement. I'm very happy with how I've been dropping under the bar in the squat and how that's changed with much work!

Team Saturday
In teams of 4 or 5 complete
8 X 400m run or 500m row
one person runs at a time while the others complete
125 Double unders
30 unevenly weighted step ups (20") (24kg/16kg KB)
30 Body rows

1 person completes each station, everyone doesn't have to do everything, pick and choose as you go. We were the winning team ending a little over 21:00. I got to work with Kim, Alex, John, and Ryan P. They were a great team to work with even though we messed up a couple times and actually ended up doing some extra work but in the end it was a great workout.

Time to relax with a movie and some fruit then hit the hay. Back on track with my diet today! :)
