@turbo

I’m not a big fan of mole. I agree that its way too sweet, but perhaps one of these days I can bring you a sample of my moms, I think its not as sweet.

I liked the WOD today.

215 (3) and 7:22 Rx’d. Felt great throughout.

Came home and took my pics for the real food challenge. You’re all in trouble now…… Lol.

Natalie and I did yesterday’s wod today. I really wanted to get it Rx’d and had a good pace with the DU’s getting the first 3 rounds in 1-2 tries. The 4th round, however, I was only getting 1-2 DU’s at a time so after about 2 minutes of trying I accepted that I might not get it and just finished the wod. I was surprised how good the Cleans and Box jumps went but ended up with a time of 13:11 RX’d*. I give Mandy’s post from yesterday a plus 1 for being frustrated with some wods and killing others. I was frustrated today, but am looking forward to Cindy tomorrow. Due to schedules, I’ll have to do it at the U of M.

Natalie rocked it today at 11:34 Rx’d.

Back Squat
5x56kg
5x61kg
5x66kg
3x71kg
1x76kg (failed on second rep)
3x76kg (third rep was a little shallow)
so 3x167lbs is not bad, I’m almost back to where I was before my groin injury…

@tapout

@MLC
great job on those squats ladies. you’ve inspired me to aim for a 200pound squat!

Then, 5 rounds:
10 K2E
10 good mornings
10 weighted decline sit-ups
about 10 minutes

(i have to work on that k2e kip also)

just a quick note about vacations and training. It seems that the sun and relaxation does wonders for recovery. I was planning to take a rest day sometime this week but I felt so full of energy and well rested that I decided to listen to my body and go for it. I usually would never recommend training 6 or 7 days in a row, but it’s absolutely amazing what a little stress relief can do for your training.

Dinner last night: “Stay Young Salad” -greens, tomatoes, cucumber, apple, avocado, pecans with an oil and vinegar dressing. Chicken Mole, no rice, no beans, “solo verdurras” I learned this on the first day (means vegetables only) the mole was a bad choice, the mole was way too sweet and not enough chocolate and chilies. oh well, live and learn.
Breakfast this morning: “Rico’s omelet”, turkey, bacon, mushroom and pepper omelet with fruit only, no toast no hash-browns. I also ate my father’s omelett and half of my uncle’s omelet. was really really hungry

@Smokey Jo @tapout Congrats on those numbers ladies - that is awesome! Back squat is not my strongest 60/70/80/90/100/110 WOD 9:24 did 5 rounds. Used the 12# MB which is the first time I have used that since my shoulder injury. K2E was more K2chest. Getting higher each time though. @Eric Definitely felt those abs too!
