WOD: Teams or 2
            P1: 5 ring dips, 10 cleans
            P2: 5 DB thrusters, 10 c2b
            then
            100 DUs
             75 burpees
             50 t2b
             25 front rack lunges

Once thing I have noticed over the past several weeks is that I tend to manage stress by over controlling something else in my life. This week, it is my diet. Clean and concise. I typically don't over think my work too much, but I have a project that is on my mind 24 hours a day. Well, 23, when I work out I'm not thinking about it.

Tonight, I vow to leave the project at work and devote my time at home to my family.

The sun is shining and the snow is melting. God is good!

WOD: Teams of 3
            DB High Pulls Down
            DB Lunges Back
            back and forth box jumps while waiting

           EMOTM 10 min
           5 Burpees
           5 Push Ups

           Legs on machines


My brownie bacon delight turned out a success! I had a few left over so I delivered them to John in fear that I would eat them all!  All of the food at the Bacon Feast was delish.

I'm ready to commit to working out 5 days this week with an additional cardio 3 days. I too measurements and photos this morning and it's time to get this train moving!!! Do you use My Fitness Pal? If so, follow me : jcreech1. I love that app. I only use it as a guide but it holds me accountable.

Happy Monday!

rewarding

WOD: 21-15-9
           DB Squat Cleans
           HSPU

          50 burpees


I started a Girls on the Run team at Connor's elementary school this spring. We have had two practices. I can't tell you how rewarding this experience has been and it's only the first week!!! Yesterday we talked about positive thoughts and how we control what we let in our minds and what we get out. When the girls were talking about being strong, athletic, smart, pretty their faces lit up with huge smiles. You could see them sit up straighter as their confidence grew. My heart has been over pouring with love as I get to know these girls and watch them grow. I am sad that it is only for 12 weeks!

I hope that if any of you every have the opportunity to volunteer for this program, you strongly consider it. Or if you don't have the opportunity, create it for yourself! We are moving forward and not looking back!

competition #3 in the books!

I am glad it is over. I was a nervous wreck from 9am until 3pm when my heat started. It actually went a lot faster than it felt when I was watching the other teams.

My nutrition was spot on, I was stretched out and I had plenty of sleep. The only thing that surprised me was my performance in the first two events was the same as the Sunday before when we practiced. I thought for sure I would get more reps.

My team did amazing. Rick and Sandy had an awesome score on the overhead squats. Ready to start kicking it into high gear for fun and not for competition!

WOD: 7 min  AMRAP
            5 KB 7Swings
            7 Box Jumps

It's the night before the competition. I worked out 7 days in a row with today as my rest day and tomorrow the big day. Registration doesn't begin until 11am so that will give me plenty of time to sleep in and get solid rest.

I'll post tomorrow after we are finished and hopefully have a few pictures.

I still need to figure out what I'm wearing and pack my bags!

Nighty Night!
