Tough as (press-on) Nails

Thursday, December 27:

It was time to get back in the gym today. My last workout was last Sunday the 22nd. After about 5 days of no sweating and poor eating, I was feeling not-so tough at all. It was a small group for the 6am workout time slot. The workout... Barbara.

Warmup:
2 rounds of cals

Workout:
5 rounds for time

20 pullups (R1: 20 full, R2: 15 full/5 jumping, R3 & R4: 10 full/10 jumping, R5: 5 full/10 jumping)
30 pushups (all done modified with knees bent)
40 situps
50 squats
Total time: TBD

I can't tell if it's because of my bummed shoulder or if it was a mixture of the shoulder and poor nutrition, but this thing was miserable. The pullups were tough and by the time I got to my pansy knee pushups I wanted to cry like a little girl. The moral to this story don't screw up your shoulder... no wait.. the real moral to this story.. don't eat like crap over the holidays and expect to perform to your usual potential.

This leads me into a perfect transition to talk about something new and exciting. Mike Mann, Lauris & Leslie have all inspired me to get on the Zone. It's perfect timing, because I know several other Crossfitters are trying their hand at the palm full of protein. I bought two of Dr. Sears' books this morning (you have to love the American consumer). I read one of them today (One Week on the Zone) and I'll read the second over the weekend. Now all I need is a kitchen scale, and I'm good to go. I'll probably start this weekend, forget waiting for the New Year. I don't think life decisions should be based off of a calendar.. unless you're trying to get pregnant (I'm not).

That's enough of me talking about myself for one day. More talking about myself tomorrow.
