Drink at least 80oz of water: no, sadly. today i'm going to make up for it!

what if you went to .5 c dry, used reduced fat PB or PB2, half the raisins and half the maple syrup? that should cut it down significantly.

hmm. you could have irritated something. how much are you gripping the bar on your front squats? is it just fingertips or more in your hand? I find that with heavier front squats, I need to have the bar more in my fingertips and with a slightly narrower grip.

7/18 Workout: Limits tonight were 28/33 Did my normal warm up. Power Snatch Doubles 15kg x 2 20kg x 2 25kg x 2 28 x 4x2 These felt good.

Goal 3: Get a hold of my anxiety 1/5 other meditation 2/5 sleep meditations Side goals: No TV in bed on weeknights - reading is OK: Nope. I watched half an episode of the blacklist. I had a really bad headache so I wanted something to lull me away from thinking about my headache. Drink at least 80oz of water: check - probably closer to 100oz

i have a fitbit and a wifi scale. How do i make this happen?

7/17 Workout: This workout was the last where I am limiting my snatching to 25 and my clean/pulls/other to 30kg. Tonight, i'll move to 28/33 Did my normal warm up, but rolled my adductors a little in addition. Muscle Squat Snatch 15kg x 3 20kg x 3 25kg 3x3 These felt really good. I'd like to try more with a higher weight to see if I can really get my arms working right.

Drink at least 80oz of water: check Felt pretty good yesterday. Ester was anxious, for some reason. I did a meditation before training and I think that helped. Also, reassuring myself that I am not hurting, I'm just afraid of hurting is helping.

OHHHH a longar floating time. i thought it was a bigger better tube or something.

I've been using insight timer for meditation (guided) and it rocks.

MONDAY IS HERE.

Awesome job on the 10k. what does this longer floatie involve?

i like the pretty colors.

TODAY UPDATE: I emailed a PT that was recommended to me by my coach (and @AngelaTheGeek) Hopefully she will be able to help me! ADULTING FTW.

Weekend update! (7/14-7/16) Workout: Saturday was a training day. I don't have my notebook right next to me, but I'll try to document. Hang Snatch triples (these were supposed to be hang snatch singles at a high percentage but because i'm holding myself back some, I figured light triples would be good) 15kg x 3 20kg x 3 25kg 3x3 These felt pretty good. Felt light. I did full snatches, too, which I was questioning how my back would take. They felt fine I guess Ester likes snatches. sometimes. Power Clean doubles - these were supposed to be Clean doubles at a high-ish percentage, but again, holding myself off. For these I really tried to make sure my elbows were coming around fast enough and that I paused for a second in the receiving position to make sure I was in a good position. Even if it's light weight, i can still work on my technique. 20kg 2x2 25kg x2 30kg 3x2 - i know my sets/reps documentation is inconsistent. this is three sets of two reps. Back Squat - these were supposed to be at 90% for doubles, I think. So I did 3x5. I was really working on feeling my glutes through the whole range of motion. 20kg x 5 25kg x 5 30kg 3x5 Clean pulls to knee, to explode. These were also supposed to be HEAVY. But I just did them with 30kg with a 2 second pause at each postition. 30kg 1+2/3. Goal 1: Take care of my back by doing more movement throughout the day. Friday: 8a - CARs 10a: cat camel, quad rockbacks, quadreped half down dog 12p: 20min walk with Sadie 2p: core series Saturday: core series and did a bunch of other hip stuff Sunday: foam rolling + core series Goal 2: Track food, hit calorie goals. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/profile/needanightlight Yeah. Tracking sucked this weekend. I need to get back on it. Goal 3: Get a hold of my anxiety All sleep meditations done. I only made it to 4/5 other meditations. Side goals: No TV in bed on weeknights - reading is OK: check! Drink at least 80oz of water: check

7/13 Workout: Regular warm up (I have a pretty consistent warm up I do, but I'm experimenting with some new elements) Decided to jump back in with lifting on a variation of a workout I had before Ester started talking to me. I decided that I'm going to keep 3-4 workouts at 50%ish, before moving up to get my body back into the swing of things. Power Snatch: 15kg x2 20kg x2 25kg x2(4) These felt super nice and light. Really concentrating on getting my arms working and getting myself into a good receiving position. Power Jerk 15kg x 3 20kg x 3 25kg x 3 30kg x 3(3) These felt nice and light. Worked on keeping my ribs down while extending overhead. I felt like even though I was dipping/driving through my heels, I would receive the second and third rep forward on my toes. Back Squat 15kg x 5 25kg x 5 30kg x 5(3) Tried really hard to keep my glutes engaged through the entirety of each rep. During my second set I started to feel them burning and working a little. Ester was fine. No real pain at all. Other than cramps and sympathy pain. But as I told Ester, old ladies don't get periods. Goal 1: Take care of my back by doing more movement throughout the day. 8a - CARs 10a: cat camel, quad rockbacks, quadreped half down dog 12p: 20min walk with Sadie 2p: core series Goal 2: Track food, hit calorie goals. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/profile/needanightlight I was a little under on calories, but food quality wasn't the best. Goal 3: Get a hold of my anxiety 4/5 sleep meditations done. 2/5 5min meditation sessions done. did one on a ugyai breathing (sp?) technique. It was pretty cool. Side goals: No TV in bed on weeknights - reading is OK: check! Drink at least 80oz of water: probably a little light on this one. today I'll be better. Cramps blow. I should go take some advil.

yeah. puppers has no shame about showing her biz to everyone.

awww pickle. you should get pickle a pickle pocket!

7/12 Workout: N/A rest day Ester was fine. No real pain at all. Goal 1: Take care of my back by doing more movement throughout the day. 8a - CARs 10a: cat camel, quad rockbacks, quadreped half down dog 12p: 20min walk with Sadie 2p: core series -- this is becoming quickly my go to- back work. which is nice. Goal 2: Track food, hit calorie goals. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/profile/needanightlight I was a little over on calories (not on MFP) but from where I wanted. Shark week has commenced (today) so last night I wanted to eat all of the food. Not gonna worry about it. Goal 3: Get a hold of my anxiety 3/5 sleep meditations done. I really liked this sleep meditation, I just couldn't get my brain to shut off. I feel asleep fairly quickly after though. Side goals: No TV in bed on weeknights - reading is OK: check! Drink at least 80oz of water: check! The chiro appointment was fine. I let him do his schtick. He was good, but I probably won't be back to him unless I need catastrophic help. Have to figure out how to find a great PT down here. I have bad cramps today. I feel like my uterus is trying to escape. I haven't been taking pain killers (advil, tylenol) bc I wanted to keep an eye on my back pain. Well, I just took two advil. Yay! Hopefully within an hour I'll feel less crappy. Wondering how training will go tomorrow... Bonus pup pic:

apparently @bigm141414 is my stomach.

yeah. I've only done the rice bowl, because i feel like if i did the kimchi fries, or the wings, it'd be all over for my waistline.

You are ON FIRE. I like your schedule box too. Mostly because if it were mine, I would feel something like "oh, i only have to go running right now. " so smaller tasks = easier in my brain.

Agree 100%. However down here, you need a prescription for any PT. BOOOOOO. So I'm gonna try and shop around and then as my GP for a prescription.

recharge sundays are the best
