Workouts and work

Todays WOD was 30 muscle ups for time, or if you cant do muscle ups, 120 pull ups/120 dips for time. Needless to say, I still am muscle up challenged so it was pull ups and dips for me. I finished in 18:10 and did my first two rounds of 10 pull ups without bands. I also graduated from the green stretchy band to the blue one. (What that means is it gives assistance, but not as much!). All in all, it was a pretty good workout day. Of course there I sat fretting when I would get the ever elusive muscle up, but I gave up on that too soon because it was wearing me out even to worry about it.

My stomach muscles are still fried out from five rounds of 30 GHD situps and 25 back extensions from Wednesday and it was a definite struggle to get started today but I survived.

Thursday we did hanging power cleans and I got super shitty I struggled with 95 lbs, but at least I was able to heave 90 lbs. Not too horrible for a girl who is 5'3" and 125. I am trying to at least get to body weight, slow progress but at least I am making some.

I am exhausted from working every day of the week without break but again, what can I do about it? Complaining isnt getting me anywhere, although somewhat cathartic.

I have also been looking at crossfit tee shirts, and there are really some funny zingers out there. I personally want to get one of the tank tops that say "I do pullups" or force my children to wear the shirt that says "My mommy can lift more than your daddy".... There are some really cool ones out there. Tomorrow is an off day, I may go for a little run but other than that, I plan on resting and getting my mojo back.

Maybe one day I will get a vacation and go somewhere nice. Heck, even a vacation somewhere not so nice would be okay. Is it wrong that I actually think going to my moms house would be better than working 7 days a week? Nah, maybe not. Ha.
