MAE, IN A NUTSHELL...

Rest day ended up being a mobility day. So, technically, there is no rest day.

Simple fact:
I LOVE going to my box! There is something about loud music and cheers from fellow members.
Oh, and PR’d Randy by about 2 min tonight… You could say I am happy!

Day 1 is over… I am feeling accomplished. My husband definitely helped to keep me going, I would have not completed my training. Today I decided to do the following:
Alternating
50-40-30-20-10 Ab-mat sit-ups
3-6-9-12-15 Thrusters at 45#

Ended up to be about 12 min for me and I am happy! Here we go folks!

I seriously don’t understand why everyone can’t get on the same schedule!
1.) If my girls sleep thru the night, my dog has me up at 2am taking him out to pee/poop!
2.) if my dog sleeps thru the night, one or both girls do not sleep thru the night!

Vicious cycle! However, I believe it is Starbucks plot to keep me coming back for more. If they were open now…. Yes, please!

I am really noticing now, that no matter what I do I MUST fuel my body properly. I have got to start eating more clean, drinking my water and taking my supplements(fish oil)!
I could really see a change in my workout and how I felt! Lets see what the next 6 weeks brings!

I feel horrible when I don’t get a run in or a WOD in! I feel more aches and pains than even after a great workout.
Gotta make this a daily habit!

Yes, you could say I am addicted. I have found a new hobby. I used to love the flagline. It was my life 7 days a week. I loved performing and seeing what I could do. Now, I found something I can carry over to my children long term.

Some say that I am in the “honeymoon” phase of Crossfit, i.e. my first year. Well, I beg to differ on that theory. With so many variations and so many opportunities for growth, I don’t see the “honeymoon” phase being over anytime soon.

Unless my name is Lindsey Valenzuela, then I have work to do!

3…2…1…GO!

Sitting here at 4AM while I cannot sleep, but the rest of my family is sound asleep (dog in background snoring), I am thinking how excited I am about our new endeavors for this year. 2013 is going to be real great! The fact that Crossfit and my new way of eating has pushed me into single digit sizes again, which I haven’t seen since I was in college. It makes me feel so good and confident!
With that said, I have been thinking about what it would be like to be a competitor at the Crossfit games! What would it be like to get paid to do Crossfit on a daily basis? To have sponsors calling you to do what you love?
Sounds to good to be true! Even so, I’m going for it! So here in the next couple of years, watch for my name as you might see it on ESPN! Yeah… That would be nice!
