Been a while....I know

I'm back!!! I dont even remeber the last time I did this, I am sure all my followers (hahaha) have been wondering where I have been. I wish I could say I was on vacation but no, I just havent been updating. Let see workouts have been...well lets just say I have been going. I wish I was better at a lot of things in crossfit, stronger, faster, better form, able to push through things more. I will get there, hopefully. Saturday was a great group WOD, there were over 60 people! I am thrilled that so many people can benefit from Crossfit, it was a little bittersweet when I started thinking back to UNO when there was about 8 people in Crossfit, they sure have come a long way. Back to Saturday, Hannah and I we a team, the WOD was 2 (on each arm) DB single arm hang snatch, 6 burpees and 9 deadlift AMRAP in 4 minutes rest 1 minute repeat for 4 rounds. Everyone there was really pushing themselves, it was great! We completed 3 round everytime, I was happy with that, hope Hannah was too. I am very sore today. I will be doing the .com WOD (30sec handstand hold and 20air squats 5 rounds) later tonight. Sundays are a really hard day for me to make it to the gym, maybe that is why I am not getting stronger, faster and better form.

So these are the things I need to work on: Squats (keeping back strong) the form on almost everything, my clean and jerks are just gross, double unders, that is just a short list that I can think of now...to many other things on my mind.

Lent is here and I gave up bread, pasta, desserts. I am trying to get my carbs from fruits and veggies, so far so good!! I went out to eat all weekend Marks, Paxton, M's and not once did I eat the bread or my dessert, just got extra veggies!! I know it has only been 3 days but I hope I can keep doing it.

I am super excited to go to AZ with my bridesmaids this month, I need a fun girls weekend. I havent had one of those in a long time. Look out Phoenix here we come :)

Thats all I got for now, no picutures yet, I will get some up soon, I need to go do the WOD for today...Peace out

2 rest days in a row


This was when I was in Chicago a while ago, my best friend growing up is on the left, Judy Martin! She is from a family of 9 kids, it was so great to have so many people to play with growing up, I consider them part of my family.
I did not work out yesterday or today. Today is a scheduled rest day, but I also didnt go on Sunday either. I had a bit too much wine. Saturday was Valentines Day, and I took Jon Baker to the Zoo!! They had a deal where you could eat in the aquarium then have dessert in the Wild Kingdom Pavillion, then to see a 3-D movie on the IMAX. It was a nice time. I cannot wait to get a huge tank of my own with salt water fish. They are so relaxing to me, I could watch them for hours. Anyway the zoo was over around 8 so we headed downtown to have a few drinks. Then back to Jon Bakers where we split a bottle of wine that we got in Napa, it was one of my favorites, La Crema Pinot Noir.


I missed the WOD today because of the wine last night. I did go to church, which I really enjoy doing on Sunday morning at Sacred Heart. Then Jon Baker and I went to look for a kitchen table at NFM, no luck. Today I had off work and got a lot done, cleaning, throwing stuff out to the Goodwill. I even cleaned up some of Jon Bakers house. Moved all of his work out stuff to the basement and organized it!! That was kind of a workout I guess :)


I have been pretty tired lately, probably because of my lack of diet. Lent is coming up and I think I will make it my goal to go 40 days and 40 nights of eating right. When I tried the Zone I was having some side effects I didnt really like. I know I needed to make adjustments and not just go straight from the book, but my wod's were getting worse, so I went off and I am a total machine. Not really but better than before. Dieting is not something I have ever had to do, so changing everything is really hard to do. I did see increase in energy on the Zone so that is good!!


Oh yes last night I met up with all my Bridesmaids to find shoes for the dresses and Ta-DA we found some at the mall!!! So that is one less thing to worry about for the wedding. It was really nice to be around all my friends last night. So of them I dont see as often as I would like but it is so great just to be able to pick up where we left off, like no time has passed at all.


Wow that was a long post. I shall have more later.

Let's go flying!!














This is a picture of me and Andrea when we went flying in this little plane. It was a while ago, we left from Offutt, and flew above Omaha. I was a little hung over when we did this so it was a very short trip. So there are some pictures of that!



The plane was very small and there was no barf bag and I really thought I was going to lose my lunch, so after all was said and done I had to lay down on the couch. It was a good day, wish I could have stayed up longer....darn drinking!!







I just tried to put more pictures up and nothing happened. I'm out for a few days.

Thanks for visiting!

HELP

I have no idea why the writting for my pictures is so strange, it is all backwards and stuff. Must work on that.

Some pictures







Ok so I just watched a video on how to do this, not going to lie it was pretty short, so this will be trial and error! Good Luck to me :)



I am going to attempt to put up a picture. Lets see....
