My CrossFit experience was so awesome!! I don't think I've ever been around that much genuinely positive energy in my life! Everyone was so gracious and helpful, and at the end of On-Ramp I really felt I could do anything!! Your entire team, male and female, have such enviable physiques and I know I can get there, too, so thank you for what you guys do and for what you"

25# walking DB lunge
20″ Box Jump
10# weighted pullups (vest)
25.20
Damn it, so close to sub 25! That’s just 2 ‘breath breaks’ less. Next time.
@Tapout
I am SOOOO proud of you today!! 80 kipping pull ups today, no band! I believed you had the ability/strength to do it, and now you can believe it too. Great work and proves once again that it is just as much a mental battle as it is physical, and you won both of those today.
October 19, 2009 at 10:12 am
I echo Tapout, looks like a doozy! yikes. hope I can handle the pullups with no band!
just a funny comment I have to share–I’m temporarily working at an office right now, and saw my colleague dumping her very own personal coffee whitener into her coffee.I said “you don’t use the cream here?” and she said “Coffeemate is so much moer healthier”….WTF??? Wow, I guess that’s because it has “less fat” in it which to her means healthier, but I bit my tongue hard so I wouldn’t go into my rant about the “white death” my colleague at my last job used to refer to it so lovingly

@SuperBean
It’s heartbreaking to listen to ppl talk about health when they are so clearly uniformed. Good for you for biting your tongue, that’s so hard!
October 19, 2009 at 11:48 am
I wish I could do this one! I hate when work gets in the way of a good WOD.
@SuperBean
I see it everyday too, I get the “everything in moderation” line all the time so this weekend I asked “if that included poison, in moderation of course?”. Made em think! (You can only do this with someone who really likes you)
And for anyone following along with my recipes, I tried making the nut butter bread with sunflower seed butter and it doesn’t taste very good. The seed chunks also turn green when you cook them so it looks and tastes funky…it’s edible, just don’t try it for yourself.

@Kimberly
oh no!! I was going to try sunflower seed butter bread. Did you mix the sunflower butter yourself? or use a store bought nut butter? I really like this recipe I had eggs and nut butter bread “toast” this morning…amazing!

@SuperBean
I hear you…Try having playdate upon playdate with moms who don’t even feed their kids food…it is all chemicals!!! it is so sad. I have to bite my tongue often, or my children would never be invited for playdates again!

@Tapout
way to go on the pull ups Nic!
October 19, 2009 at 12:35 pm
25# DB walking lunge
30×20″ BJ
and YES !!!! 20 unassisted pullups…
thanx for kudos girls…!
MLC I honestly wouldn’t have even attempted to do it without you…had my pink band all set up to swith over after a few unassisted reps at the top of each round…thanx babe…I love how you push me…inspire me during wods (ie wearing that weighted vest today…and much more…)…and help me turn negative thoughts into positve ones…
October 19, 2009 at 12:49 pm
@tapout
Huge congrats Nic!! That is awesome. Must feel great too. Once my shoulder starts cooperating again, that is my goal!
@mlc
You rocked that wod – way to go. You are an inspiration to me too!
@SuperBean
I have been told that “everyone has to find what works for them”. Apparently eating poison works for some people! I have permanent teeth marks in my tongue from biting it so hard. I have to not comment or I won’t be invited along anymore either.
WOD
20# DB walking lunge
30 x 16″ box jumps
20 ring rows.
30:01
Found the ring rows really slowed me down. Had to break them up and by the end was doing them one at a time. I can sure tell that I haven’t been doing upper body work for a while.
October 19, 2009 at 1:22 pm
@tapout
Correction, you did 80 unassisted pullups.
October 19, 2009 at 4:45 pm
@Suzanne
I’m taking a break from marking and working out vicariously through you guys…I bought the seed butter to try something besides almonds, almonds, and more almonds, but I don’t really like it. It also smelled funny when I tried making toast.
And 80 unassisted pull-ups, way to go! I read today that we (people wanting to get fitter) should do max rep pull-ups whenever there’s something to do a pull-up with…I was eyeing the bar between the toilet stalls in the staff washroom today but I don’t think it would hold me…
October 19, 2009 at 6:50 pm
…that’s pretty funny Kimberly…because ever since I started cf…I eyeball things like door frames…and window sills and usually I can’t resist so I latch on and pullup…or a bench somewhere and I just want to jump on it…! I want to climb things !!!…so don’t worry somehow I don’t we are alone with these urges…@kimberly

Congrats Ren & Charise!
October 20, 2009 at 9:13 am
wow what a wod, I knew it was good when I woke up in the night and could feel the DOMS in my ass! Awesome!
20# DB walking lunge
30 BJ 20″
5 strict pullups
The pullups ended up being the tough part, but competing with 3 big guys kept it real, thanks for the encouragement!
