peek a boo

anyone here?

I am stealing a second in the computer lab to update my blogs.. just in case I still have followers..

that is after wiping away the drool from the five seconds of sleep I got..
hope no one heard me snore..

still going to school. five days a week.
working. graves. five nights a week.
I'm tired.
I haven't had me time.
time to workout.
I have been able to do one crossfit class that our rec center offered every saturday for the last five weeks. only missing one or two..
but no time in between to do more workouts.
which I'm sad about.
my schedule will calm down soon. I hope.
it is super hard to get to the gym when you get four to five hours of sleep every other day.
I'm afraid I'll faceplant on a treadmill.
not worth it.

I will make more time soon though. I hope. To blog.
I miss it.
I miss you guys.
If your still here, that is.

Happy Halloween!

killin it in the gym

last night, I decided to try my own crossfit workouts again.
and I killed it!
my body is definately telling me all about it today

I did
30# deadlifts x15
25#squats x15
wall ball throws with 10# medicine ball x15
sit ups with medicine ball x20
bicycles x20
box jumps x15
planks x30 seconds
some mountain climber things x15

then repeated this again
and again
then....
added a whopping 5 burpees on the end!
woohoo!!!!

I body was shaking and I almost fell down the stairs of the gym.
yeah. I had to stop a few times and wait for my legs to catch up.
I'm sure the muscle heads at the bottom would have enjoyed seeing arse in the air.
but not this time bitches!

I feel goood!

*** # means pounds, x means reps :) *** but I'm sure you figured that out

I found an app for my kindle fire that lets me pull up a WOD at random. I have to stick with the easy peasy ones for now, until I get up the nerve to venture down there to play with the big boys. I know I shouldn't care what they think, but as there are only ever one or two females in the "weight" area.. it's a little intimidating.

but when I'm all buff n shiz.. I'll be right there pumpin with the rest of em!

what I was doing this weekend

I made some Paleo chocolates :)
yup. they're skulls.
I used cocoa, coconut oil, coconut and vanilla.. easy and yummy!

I got my greenman tatt finished. doesn't he look awesome?
it's on the inside of my upper arm..


Friday.. I decided to try a crossfit workout.
wheweeey!
it rocked,  but I am a sore mama still!
I did three sets of each exercise.. I didn't count, I just did as many as I could each time..maybe that was my mistake..
I did box jumps (you squat then jump up on a "box" which I used something the gym had, squats with dumbbells, some wall balls (you throw a medicine ball over your head at the wall then squat when you catch it) some dead lifts, tons of crunches, sit ups with medicine ball throws, bicycle crunches..
whew! I made it through all that.. then managed to run four miles.. I thought I was going to fall off the treadmill lol
so.. I soaked my legs in super hot water with epsom salt.. helped a lil.. not much.. so I rode the bike for 40 minutes to try to loosen up my aching muscles.. then ellipticalled a lil..
still sooooo sore! you should see me trying to get in and out of my car! ha!
but I am not going to give up. nope. I will just work upper body until I can stand to move my lower body voluntarily lol


oh yeah! I forgot.. I made some "snack mix"
coconut, almonds, flax seeds, squash seeds, cocoa and coconut oil. mmmm
