More is.... MORE!

Complete as many rounds as possible in seven minutes of:

7 Deadlifts

20 meter Sprint

14 One legged squats

21 Double-unders

20 meter Sprint

I'm stoked. I know I should base my personal gains by comparing myself to what others put on the board, but isn't that the point of the board? Por ejemplo, I think that Jaime is way more advanced than me in many areas, and I exceeded her score... Granted, I don't know how she scaled the WOD, but knowing I got more work done in the same amount of time makes me feel good that I could keep with someone I feel is farther along in her fitness journey. 

I did 105#s (which I wanted to do more, but Zeb told me to take easy) and I used a small box to do my pistols. The box was beneath my butt to catch me if I fell, which I did. From the seated position I still had to extend one leg out and stand straight up off of one leg; it was difficult. Double Unders are definitely my nemesis--- for now! I'm still doing that extra hop between each DU. G thinks it's now ingrained in my brain, like I've made a neurological pathway that now has to be broken and taught to do a DU w/o the hop. If I had DUs down I'd have easily 4 rounds in 7 mins for this WOD. 

Today was a good day, not just in the box, but also at Dreamworks. I was called in to do a catering. I love the crew there. I think I say that every time I finish a shift. It's not work. John really wants to go to Animal in the next week or so. Excited about that. And he has a job lead that is temporary; an independent QA inspector whom runs her consult business was hired by Kaiser Hospital to do an overhaul of their facility.  Tomorrow I've got to shoot my resume over to him to forward to the DM. 

Plus, I have to haul ass to San Gabriel Valley to murder a guy named Steve, who may have cost me several thousand dollars in earnings in my stock portfolio. Like really. I've fired that entire office. There is a way to rectify the offices boo-boo hopefully... I don't want to think about it cause it will get me all hot and bothered. *Serenity now, serenity now, serenity now* Ahhh. 

Time to think of nothing. 

Graciousness

GRACE 

Pronunciation: grās

n.

1.

The exercise of love, kindness, mercy, favor. I figured that I should utilize my blog to not just foster the transformation of my physical body, but to also to nurture the metaphysical. Some would call it the soul or spiritual existence. What ever you call it, it is the energy that actually gives life to the human body. May I live with an open heart to give grace freely and accept the grace that is bestowed upon me. 30 Handstand push-ups 40 Pull-ups 50 Kettlebell swings (55/35) 60 Sit-ups 70 Burpees Watch the WOD: James Hobart 10:02, Ben Bergeron 11:03, Matt Chan 12:20, Mat Frankel 13:05, Heather Keenan Bergeron 13:15, Miranda Oldroyd 15:00. Post time to comments My time- 20:46 with modified HSPU on the box, 26# KB and PU with 2 bands. I'm super proud of me. I knew going into the WOD that the burpees were going to be the toughest thing to get through. I felt like I flew through the HSPUs, the PU (thanks to my kipping!); the KB swings I broke into sets of 10; the sit-ups, same thing. I started the burpees just after 13 minutes. I was already pleased about how much work I had done already in that 13 minutes. Admittedly, during the burpees, I felt sick and "gassy." All that up and down, and than back up, got my insides all riled up. When I got to 40, I thought, shit I'm half way there. Post-work out, I had one of my longest recoveries in a long time. My hearing was jacked up; felt like I was in a tunnel in my own head. I really had to sit out for about 30 minutes before all my faculties came back. I'm happy with the work I did today.  Sterling and Crose commented on how they have noticed that I'm looking leaner and that my form and speed has seen marked improvement. That is the best thing to hear. I'm smiling right now :) Food I ate only once today. Not good. I'm just not hungry. It's like my body is telling me "Calorie Restriction" without me even consciously doing it.  3 Scrambled Eggs 1 bunch Asparagus 2oz Almonds 2 Tangerines That's it. Hungry (and lazy) now.
