DU's
sit-ups

I can't believe it! Tomorrow is picture day. This is bitter sweet. I want it to end but I don't all at the same time. The good news is, I will still be doing Paleo. I feel so good on Paleo. It was a well worth it challenge! I just have to end my blog (for tonight...no worries followers...I will continue to blog maybe not as often though) by saying...WELCOME SPRING BREAK! Time to go...I need to get in bed so I can be well rested for my 5AM workout tomorrow.

no words to describe
WOD: I chose to do 21-15-9, OHS, DL
I started with Rx'd weight
My back cramped up bad. Kept dropping weight, but back was still acting up. Jason said to call it a day and listen to my body because we don't want to hurt ourselves. Thank you Jason for making me stop because I would have kept going and probably severely hurt myself.
Here is where the back problem stemmed from:
On Friday we had cleans and pullups. On my cleans (which was a very heavy weight for me)on the way down I would get lazy and round my back. Jason is always on my case for this and now I see why. I injured my back from this and aggravated it when trying to do deads tonight. I was in pain over the weekend but felt like it would go away just like some of my other Crossfit aches. In the back of my mind I knew Jason was right and just continued to be lazy. I can assure you this will never happen again because it is too painful to have to go through again. I am very upset with myself! The only positive thing I can find about the situation is that now I know better and have learned my lesson. Sometimes it takes a major mistake to learn your lesson for good!
Breakfast: eggs, grapes, AB
Lunch: chicken, almonds
Dinner: When I tell you I was upset with my performance I meant it. When I get upset enough I don't eat. Usually Rob forces me to eat, but he was at class tonight so I sat around the house and was mopey. I did have a larabar and some tea.
Hopefully I can do tomorrow's WOD. I just want to scream! So disappointed! I let myself down and that is the worst person to let down...yourself. I'll get over it. I am in major need of Spring Break and time for myself. I've put myself on the back burner for too long! It's time to focus and pay attention!

catch up...here goes
So...I'll give you the bad news first:
I cheated! Ahhh!!!! I was so close to an almost perfect run and I screwed it up. Below is a list of the things I cheated with over a 2 day period. Gosh I feel so ashamed.
Jellybeans
Rice Crispie Treat
Vinegar
Cookie
Bread
Butter
Cheese dip (Well worth it since we have a dip cook off coming up. We got the recipe for this from a famous restaurant in downtown Disney! We are totally gonna kick ass at the cook-off. The dip is probably the cheat that was most worth it to me.)
So here is the good news. I was planning on having a huge week long cheat after the Paleo Challenge was over, and since I got my cheats out in Disney I no longer want to cheat even after the challenge. The only little cheat I plan on having once or twice after the challenge is cream in my coffee...but that is it! So this little experiment totally proves what I already thought was true. You should allow yourself a cheat or two each month just so you don't go crazy in the long run. Then the cheat will be out of your system and you can be back on track immediately afterward.
I am not going to bother mentioning all the Paleo food I ate this weekend, just know that besides what I ate in the cheat section, everything else stayed Paleo.
I have started fresh today and feel great! All cheats out of system...all Paleo systems are a go!
Breakfast: eggs, grapes, AB
Lunch: chicken
Dinner: grass fed beef, asparagus
WOD: I chose #1 AMRAP 15 minutes
5 jerks (98 pounds)
7 clapping pushups
100 M run
I got 6 rounds!
My jerks feel like they are getting so much better!

Disney
Took the day off to meet my sister, brother in law, and niece and nephew in Disney. Went to 8 AM class. A big thank you to the 8AM crew for letting me and spaz join in.
I did 103 pounds and had 6 missed reps. My chin ups were very sloppy! I better do a few more burpees to make up for it!
Breakfast: larabar
Lunch: on the road to Disney...chicken and lettuce, almonds
Snack: larabar on the road
Dinner: crappy buffet at fort wilderness. Salad ( with small amount of vinagerette) salmon, pretty paleo chili (no beans), chicken. Overall I did great staying Paleo considering what the choices at the buffet were. You should have seen some of those overweight unhealthy buffet people pack on the mac and cheese. I was sick to my stomach just watching them! Needless to say, buffets are not for Paleo people.

Extra protein
WOD: AMRAP 15 minutes
2 hspu
6 burpees
10 pullups
I feel amazingly strong today! Could be the extra protein!?!
8 rounds plus 6 burpees
Breakfast: eggs, banana
Lunch: chicken breast, grapes, almond butter
Extra snack: small piece of grilled fish left over from last night
Dinner: chicken, salsa, guac
Sweet tooth: tea with honey
I've been "toying" (no pun intended) with the idea of vexing certified to teach Crossfit Kids. After all, it is two of my favorite things combined...kids and crossfit. We'll see how I feel after I look at the requirements. I think it'd be an awesome cert to start my list off with, even if I don't get to teach Crossfit Kids right away. Who knows...one day I could open a gym strictly for Crossfit kids. A girl can dream can't she???

Wod: 2k row and max reps dead lift. Rx'd and I don't even remember the time I got...oh well. It's written in my journal.
Breakfast: eggs, strawberries, almond butter
Lunch: meatball, califlower, avocado
Dinner: sea bass, broccoli, pistachios
Had 2 mints today. I just couldn't help it. I needed something in my mouth just to stay awake!!! Hope to get more sleep. Losing sleep over students in my class. I need to learn that I can't fix everything. Some of their problems are bigger than anything I have ever had to deal with in my life. I just want to be able to fix it!!

5 is the new 6
As my friend Pink said "5 is the new 6" when Diane and I told her that we would be taking over the 5PM classes.
WOD: "WBS/DU Ladder"
10 minute running clock.
Start with 10 WBS + 10 DU's.
Add 10 reps each round.
I got 146. I was hoping to make it through round 4, but the wall balls KILLED me like the always do. I do have to say they felt a lot better than they have in the past though. I feel good about my progress with the wall balls.
Breakfast: eggs, strawberries, almond butter
Lunch: meatball, squash, pistachios
Snack: 1/4 of Rob's Larabar
Dinner: meatball, squash, cauliflower

Sunday...blah blah
Had hopes to go out running today, but the weather was so nasty by the time we got out of church that I just wasn't motivated.
Breakfast: Larabar, eggs, bacon
Lunch: pork
I've been having bad cravings for a tropical drink such as a banana daiquiri. So Rob and I made a Paleo daiquiri. It was by no means "good for you", but it got the job done. I have promised myself to stay strict for the remainder of the challenge. I guess there will be no more sweet Paleo "treats". I can make it for 2 more weeks!

Breakfast: larabar
Lunch: pork, guacamole, almonds (with honey drizzled on top...the sweets are getting the best of me)
Dinner: chicken wings
We are having a cook off tonight at our friend's house. I made Rob make me some Paleo wings, but I will sample a few of the no paleo wings so I can score them.
After Dinner: We have decided to go out after the cook off for some after dinner drinks. I will either have some wine or tequila.
Update: so we ran out of time and never took the Paleo wings with us, so I nibbled on some non paleo wings. Over all...not too bad. After the cook off we went out and have some peel and eat shrimp. My favorite!

Friday
WOD: 5K row - 24:42
Got under 25 minutes. That was my goal. I was pleased with that considering that I ow just like I run...very slow!
Breakfast: eggs, grapes, almond butter
Lunch: turkey, squash, tomato, almonds
Dinner: pork, salad, guacamole
After dinner: glass of wine and 2 dark chocolate squares.
Glad the week from hell is over...next week could be even worse though. We'll see, it all depends on 1 child!

Cravings!
WOD:
"Tabata Snatch"
Tabata 1-arm DB Power Snatch L/R
Rest 1-min
Tabata Box Jumps 20"/24"
Rest 1-min
Tabata 1-arm DB Power Snatch L/R
*Post lowest score of each round for total
I did 25 pounds, total score 24
Breakfast: eggs, strawberries, almond butter
Lunch: meatloaf, squash, almonds (with cinnamon and coconut sprinkled on top...yum!)
Dinner: chicken, tea with honey
I am craving sweet things and each day my list of things I want to eat when the challenge is over gets bigger. The honey in my tea did just the trick and took the sting of my cravings away...for the moment anyway.
So I realized today (well I realized a long time ago, but I was in denial) that never ever in my life will I have a "thin" body. I'm working on being ok with that and loving my more "meaty"/muscular body. I was just not built to be thin. I shall learn to embrace it!

Feel Strong!
WOD: Jerks! [Push, Split or Rack]
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
I got up to 123! Felt good. I actually was pressing 123. If I could get the jerk movement down I could probably move a lot more weight. Jason worked with me on the starting position and the weight seemed so much lighter. Special thanks to Liz who also helped me!
Brekafast: eggs, strawberries, almond butter
Lunch: chicken, red pepper, avocado
Snack: Larabar (I need to kick the larabar habit. The closer the end of the challenge gets, the more larabars I am shoving in my face. It seems to satisfy my cravings for sweets)
Dinner: steak, squash, crushed tomatoes
No complaints today. A little tired from the time change, but all is well.
Diane recommended that I try those "wisp" (I think that is the name) disposable one time use toothbrushes to replace my use of gum at school. I bought some tonight and will try it. I think it may work! Thanks Diane!

Things are changing
Breakfast: skipped..slept in due to time change
Lunch: stuffed pepper
snack: so I've been craving a popsicle. I had to get creative so I froze some grapes and had frozen grapes. It was so yummy and cured my popsicle craving. I squashed the craving! Also had some pistachios for fat.
Dinner: Glass of wine, Rob's Paleo "manloaf" as he calls it. And asparagus.
Feeling a bit down...must be the Sunday blues.
Looking forward to Spring Break. I need a "staycation". Rob and I are gonna get away somewhere in town and just "be". I can't wait! I need to get away from things!

Komen 5k
What a great event!!! I felt much better running this one than I did at the Piper 5k. Sub 35 min. I hope to move that down to 30. But I still felt good while running. The shirt helped me to make sure I ran the whole thing. I felt like if I walked then no one would think Crossfit was a good program. With Crossfit's name on my shirt I felt the need to perform better.
Pre race: Lara bar
Post race: Lara bar ( I know , I know...too many Lara bars today.)
Lunch: salmon salad with lemon
Dinner: chicken and asparagus
Multiple Paleo cocktails. 3 to be exact!
By the way...
The other day, Rob said to me, "I hope you are blogging your cheats". And I said "What cheats?". And he said "the gum you had." So yes..I've had some gum, but only to make sure my breath is fresh. I talk to children all day in their face. I don't want them to gag. Any suggestions for a Paleo friendly breath mint? Bringing my toothbrush to work is out of the question because school bathrooms gross me out, and brushing my teeth in there would make me want to throw up!

WOD: Jelly: 5 rounds, 400m run, 25 kettlebell swings
I swung a dumbell today because there wasn't enough kettlebells. I liked the grip better, but it was more awkward to swing because of the length. The kettlebell is more compact.

Breakfast: eggs, salsa, strawberries, pistachios
Lunch: turkey, red peppers, pistachios
Dinner: taco salad, grapes, dark chocolate square

Things are looking up!
I got the little boy the help he needs for now. Now if only I could get his dad to answer my phone calls or at least call me back we'd be in business. What a coward that man is! I bet you I could back squat him! Haha!

Breakfast: eggs, salsa, strawberries, almond butter

CFE: row x3 (250m-500m-750m)
WOD: deadlift...suckfest!!!! No PR! I will get over it...eventually. Maybe next time.
Breakfast: eggs, salsa, strawberries, almond butter
Snack: larabar (long time between breakfast and lunch)
Lunch: chicken, avocado
Dinner: chili, spinach
I NEED TO EAT MORE GREENS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Having a rough day. I have this little boy who is acting out due to family issues. Today he told me he was going to shoot me and kill me. I pray for him. I'm very torn up about his situation and am having a hard time removing myself from it. I asked FMPD to come in and speak to my class about threats and about being a police officer. This little boy wants to be a police officer really bad. It's the only thing that motivates him. Should be a good time having John in the classroom. He's in for a good laugh!

FCAT
"Thor"
3 rds for time of
10 Clean N Jerks @ 100/155lbs
30 KTE
98 pounds 18:(something)
Breakfast: eggs, onions, salsa, strawberries, almond butter
Lunch: chicken, pistachios
Dinner: chili, spinach, square of dark chocolate and almond butter, tea. I'm feeling the sweets cravings!
I just found out today that district is going to come in and video tape some of my teaching to use as a demonstration for online trainings. Pretty cool huh?
FCAT starts tomorrow, which doesn't mean a whole lot for my kiddos except that we have a new schedule for the next 2 weeks...which means they will be in the classroom for longer periods of time because there is no movement on campus during the FCAT. Pray for me and my sanity please!

FCAT starts tomorrow, which doesn't mean a whole lot for my kiddos except that we have a new schedule for the next 2 weeks...which means they will be in the classroom for longer periods of time because there is no movement on campus during the FCAT. Pray for me and my sanity please!

Make Up WOD
Got up...no breakfast we were in need of food so I went to church without breakfast.
Home from church had eggs, sausage, strawberries
Made up Friday's WOD:
mile 1 - 9:55 (not bad)
mile 2 - 10:22 (so frustrating)
mile 3 - 10:46
I feel so terrible about my running!!!! I went out for my runs today with a good attitude and was hoping for some decent times and it just gets so frustrating...no matter how hard I think I am trying I never seem to make running improvements. I feel like I am pushing myself hard, but maybe it is not hard enough. I just have the worst time with running. Oh well...tomorrow is a new day!
Dinner: crab legs, ribs...and some sort of vegetable. Haven't figured it out yet.

What I Learned
It took me most of the day to recover from yesterday's "bad fish". What I learned is that 5 bites of bad fish can lead to over 24 hours worth of pain! Imagine what the lifetime of crappy eating takes to get out of our system. If five bites of fish took over 24 hours...what does 24 years of crappy eating take? I am once again so glad to be eating Paleo!
Breakfast: none...stomach was still raw
Lunch: eggs, guacamole, sausage, 1/2 lara bar for carbs
Dinner: Rob ad I had a date night. I realized that I needed to give my stomach something else besides rotten fish to digest so I forced food down. After the first couple of bites it wasn't bad anymore. We took a walk downtown (see picture), had a glass of wine at the Elephant Bar, and dinner at Stonewood. I ordered:
Salad with no dressing just lemons on the side, and scallop and shrimp kabobs dry with no risotto.
Rob noticed that our waiter kept pointing at our table (we thought this was strange) and right before our dinner came out he came up to our table and said..."Alright...I gotta know. What diet are you on." So we explained the Paleo eating and he seemed very intrigued. He then felt the need to tell us his own story about how he lost 50 pounds on the Sylvester Stalone Diet. Basically he said it was eating dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner because that way you don't eat too much right before bed. Wat will they come up with next?!? I think Paleo is very normal, but maybe he thinks we are just as crazy as we think he is. Oh well! I thought it was cool that he was so interested in why we ordered what we did. I'd rather have people be up front with me and ask why I order things as opposed to talking about it and making assumptions.

Worst Day Ever!
Actually, I think it could have been worse.
It all started with a crazy day at school, and an hour and a half worth of (not so fun) parent phone calls, which in turn delayed my lunch.
Breakfast: eggs, salsa, sausage, strawberries, almond butter
Lunch: salmon on top of a salad with lemon. Here is where the major problem starts...
So I ate lunch a little later than usual due to issues I was handling at work, then headed out to Crossfit to do my runs. I got through the first run at 9 minutes and 59 seconds. Halfway through my first run I felt sick to my stomach, but I attempted to buck up and I ran my second run which took me 11:58...yuck! Still felt really ill but was determined to finish the workout. I started to run my last run, but realized I wouldn't make it. I was bent over in pain when a man on a bicycle (possibly a bum?) asked me if I was ok and I did not want to speak to him so I just answered "yeah" and decided it was probably best if I walked back to crossfit and got home as quick as possible. The man continued to ride next to me and said "I saw you run back and forth about ten times, you have got to be tired." I just said yeah and picked up my walking pace a little...at this time I began to break out in a cold sweat. So I walked right back into crossfit and practically ran out the front door saying "I didn't finish my last run...gotta go I'm sick! I'll finish this weekend" I called Rob on my way home in hopes I would make it. I've never driven so fast. I think it took me 5 minutes to get home. I got home and spent some time in the bathroom. Rob was forcing some alka seltzer down my throat (which I was hoping would make me puke). As soon as I was mobile, I ran to the fridge to take out the lunch I did not finish and realized that the salmon was anything but fresh. Luckily it wasn't too far over the expiration date which saved me a lot of pain, but it was far enough over the expiration date to make me sick for a little while. The problem is I do not like to get sick in front of people...which is why I ran out of the door at crossfit, and I have a fear of throw up. The worst part is, since I have a fear of throw up I can hold it down pretty good...in fact I would rather swallow it then let it come out. I've only thrown up 2 times in my whole life. Once on my 21st birthday for obvious reasons, and once when I was 11 from a stomach virus which I remember clearly and intended to never let it happen again. So not only do I not like to throw up, but I also literally can't make myself throw up. Ready for my secret super power? I have no gag reflex. Don't believe me...ask Jim. He didn't either until I let him stick his fingers down my throat and nothing happened. Yes Jim...I did just announce that story on my blog! The one story that has gotten you in so much trouble with Amy. So needless to say after attempting to make myself throw up to feel better it didn't work. So now that I told you way too much information and probably inappropriate too, I will finish by saying I missed the "sex toy" party I was supposed to attend for my friend's bachelorette party. I skipped dinner and opted for tea instead. I will complete this WOD tomorrow as soon as my stomach stops feeling like it does.

You're sexy and hot
Those are the words that one of my 5 year old students said to a 5 year old girl in another class. Let's just say he got his ass handed to him. Totally unacceptable! And where do you think he heard it from?
WOD 5,5,5,5,5
88, 93, 98, 103,108
I failed on the 108. I almost had it! I got 4 reps and half of the 5th. Oh well! Maybe next time.
Breakfast: eggs, strawberries, almond butter
Lunch: beef, salsa, walnuts
Dinner: chicken, salad
Dessert: dark chocolate covered almonds. This is a cheat and to be honest the chocolate could have been darker. Anything under 80% is like milk chocolate to me. I don't even enjoy it anymore.
Did I mention I love eating Paleo?!?

I have to get to dinner!!!
CFE: sprint 20 sec. Rest 2 min. X12
WOD: 3 power cleans and 5 burpees every minute on the minute for 10 minutes. I did 93 pounds with no fouls.
After crossfit I rushed out the door to meet my sister in law and our friends at dinner. I had such anxiety about making dinner on time that I drove all of 6PM crazy! Including Jason. Sorry...I'll be better tomorrow. And yes I did make it to dinner on time, just barely. Too much rushing around!
Breakfast: egg, sausage, spinach, salsa, strawberries, almond butter
Lunch: Paleo meatballs, squash, walnuts
Dinner: grilled chicken, mushrooms, peppers, onions, broccoli.

6+14=19
Haha! So I made a little addition mistake when I told Jason today that 6+14=19. What can I say? I teach Kindergarten, and we use pictures to help us add. But ask me anything about the cognitive development of a 5 year old and I can rattle quite a bit of information off.
WOD:
"Dead-Cat Bounce"
Four rounds for reps of
1 minute max reps WBS @ 14/20
1 minute max rope climb ascents @ 15-ft
Row 500-Meters
*Rest - Try to start each round exactly six minutes apart.
I got 60 WBS + 6 rope climbs (Very thrilled with my rope climbs! The WBS felt better today. Not as difficult as they usually are. Getting there!)
Ok so here is the deal about what I ate today...
I had a parent conference at 7:00 this morning, so I did not eat my breakfast at my usual time. Instead I ate my breakfast when my kiddos were at PE (10:00). I really liked not eating right away in the morning and felt more satisfied all day. I think I may try this again tomorrow. Is this a bad habit?
Late Breakfast: egg, sausage, strawberries, almond butter (I loved eating eggs instead of a smoothie! Nice change!)
Lunch: Squash, meatball, clean tomato sauce, plenty of walnuts
Dinner: eggs, sausage, salsa

Vegetables!
So today was my first day eating only 1 serving of fruit in the morning and vegetables for the rest of the day. The results were ok. I do feel the difference both positive and negative. It is kind of like the first week of Paleo where my body was going through withdraw. I went through somewhat of a sugar low today, but felt better when performing at the gym. I'll see how I feel next week when my body gets over the withdraw.
CFFM Strength WOD:
Back Squat 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
Set a PR! Reference 01.04.10 for 5-RM
My old PR was 143. Today my PR was 148!!! Veggies rock my strength!
*Assistance Strength Work: Handstand Holds, 4-minutes. I continue to improve in my freestanding handstands (without the wall). I think I finally got it down pat. I'm hoping to do 20 seconds (at a time) next time.
Breakfast: smoothie
snack: spinach, walnuts
Lunch: roast beef, lettuce, avocado
I was still hungry when I got home from school, probably from my lack of sugar that I normally get from my 2nd serving of fruit so I ate some more walnuts and that seemed to ease my hunger. I probably consumed too many fats today but I will eventually get a hold of this!
Dinner: meatballs and spinach
Tomorrow I am not going to have a smoothie for breakfast, I'm going to do the egg thing and see how I like it.
