Week 15

Before I tell you all about my week, there's something I want to share from the weekend. Stacey, Margaret, and I had a great weekend in Denton, and Waco. While we were in Denton, Stacey and I walked around downtown Denton to kill time while Margaret did training for work. 

Stacey took a photo of me that I have to share:
When I first looked at this photo, I had an unexpected reaction....I cried. You see, this is the first time that I have seen myself in a full length picture since I started this journey in January. While I never avoided being in pictures, I also wasn't the first to jump in to have a photo taken of myself. So, they are out there, but not many. Anyway, I was overwhelmed by the progress I have made on this journey. Every tear I have cried while pumping out burpees or sit ups at Crossfit has been worth it. Not only do I see a real difference, I like what I see. I am proud of how far I have come. For the first time in years (too many to count), I feel truly confident in myself. 

Okay....on to my week at CrossFit.

Monday
The WOD today was 
60 sit ups
30 over head lunges with 15 # ball
30 Ring Rows
60 Situps
30 burpees
30 air squats with ball 15#
AMRAP
I finished 186 reps; however, I went on to finish the round. If you do the math, I only made it to 16 burpees. I wanted to finish this out and get at least one full round even if I was finishing after everyone was done. 

It was hard, but I did it and it doesn't matter if I did not finish a whole round before the 20mins was up. 

Tuesday:
EMOM 12mins
1 Clean & Jerk
8 situps
I tried the Knees to chest, but didn't last long before moving to situps. 75# for C&J

EMOM 3 Mins
5 power cleans 75#

Wednesday:
25 minute AMRAP
10 alt kettlebell snatch 25#
20 ring rows
200 m run

I got 3 rounds and 30 reps
