30!

happy 30th birthday to my workout bff, sarah!

you make the gym fun!

honorary levine team sista!

you inspire me everyday as i try

(really, really hard)

to keep up with you...

 you are one amazingly strong momma-to-be!

now give me 330 burpees!

growing bellies.

there's something in the water at my gym....

13.5, finally.

the crossfit open has come to an end.

we completed the last workout on saturday & then

celebrated with a bbq party!

the workout was thrusters w/ 65# & chest 2 bar pull-ups,

15 of each, amrap for 4 minutes.

no one at our gym did, but if you got 90 total reps

 you got a bonus 4 minutes to get 90 more, and so on.

i got 15 thrusters & 9 pull-ups.

my goal was 2 pull-ups, so i'm feeling good!

although i forgot to enter my score, so that sucks.

here's me looking at the barbell.... 

contemplating my next thruster?

here i am judging greg, one of our coaches.

 he did awesome!

the open show.

the final workout in the open comes out tonight.

i've had a blast doing these workouts, but am

really looking forward to getting back on my regular 

workout schedule. this brought some inspiration: 

13.2

the second open workout consisted of

as many reps/rounds as possible (amrap) in 10 minutes of:

5 shoulder to overhead presses w/ 75lbs

10 deadlifts w/ 75lbs

15 box jumps on a 20" box.

i had to do it during class on thursday and scored
(what i think is) a respectable 205.
looking forward to the 13.3 announcement tonight at 8,
then i'm going in tomorrow at 6am to get it done
because we're heading to chattanooga this weekend for
our 4th rock/creek river gorge trail race!
your good vibes & luck are welcome! 

the open.

workout 1 comes out tonight...

press it real good.

big ups to the baby for rocking pr week at cfsq! 65lb press!

skinning cats.

fun filled friday at cfsq with pull-ups & skin the cats.

morrison.

my first workout completed as prescribed...rx.

cfg 12.5

the crossfit games open has come to an end.

it was challenging and fun & i'm happy i did it.

the last workout was a combo of thrusters & chest to bars.

women thrusted with 65lbs & men used 125lbs.

good thing we've been working on our cleans in class.

65lbs is do-able for me, but tough...

my shoulder is still sore from the last cfg wod.

one of my goals has been to get a few strict pull ups.

i wiggeled a bit....

i was able to get 4 chest to bars

and 9 thrusters for a total of 13.

i know i'm getting stronger everyday!

i got chopped.

i'm growing my hair out to donate to locks of love again,

but i wanted a change... so i got bangs!

they work straight & brushed to the side.

then the bangs did crossfit.

i sweated quite a bit and they curled up. i'm diggin it!

it's just hair- it'll grow!

let the games begin.

i just signed up for the crossfit games.

the open is february 22- march 25.

there's a weekly workout posted on the main website and

team cfsq is going to workout on saturday mornings.

you have to have someone watch you and count reps or no-reps,

then they record your score online and you can see how you

 stack up to athletes doing the same workout all over the world.

check out my athlete profile!

workout 1:

complete as many reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

burpees.

press it...

press it real good!

jimbo & lea rocked the workout tonight!

slim is feeling better & better everyday.

we've gone primal.

i love the optimism a new year brings.

*luckily, being jewish, i get 2 new years!

jimbo & i are very excited for a fresh & exciting 2012.

we really love our crossfit gym, cfsq and are feeling really good & strong.

cfsq is going to start a 30 day paleo challenge in a few weeks 

and slim & i are game! there's a cash prize for the most paleo-tastic.

we've actually already started, and it's been interesting and salad-rific....

paleo is basically

1. meat & fish

2. fruits & vegetables

3. nuts & berries

this is for sure an odd diet for me- i've been a vegetarian since i was a

sophomore in high school (a gruesome peta video did it for me) & didn't plan

on bringing meat into my diet, but this diet really intrigued me.

we're being very selective with our meat (except for the 2 visits to chick-fil-a last month)

and buying chicken and eggs that are local, cage free and blah blah blah.

paleo=caveman/cavewoman diet.

i am really looking forward to this challenge... 

no sugar, chocolate, gluten, wheat, rice, white potatoes.

what will i miss the most?

french vanilla coffee creamer, kit kats, veggie subway sandy, brown rice,

delights ice cream, luna bars, bbq baked lays, cori's candy bowl,

veggie corn dogs, veggie burgers, tofu, cookies, root beer, yogurt, granola,

 honey, toasted pb & j, cereal, oatmeal, mcdowell's sundaes, etc.....   

this cavegirl is in it to win it!

*also, if you know jimbo- you know he gets crazy obsessed (in a good way) with things-

he's currently getting his paleo phd. 

also, i just started playing words with friends

and i'm obsessed. if you're playing- holla @ me!

fabulous alert!

we crossfit in minimal support shoes... i prefer classic chucks.

but....omg! 

i just found these...i'm breathless. i want them.

*slim just hid my wallet...and his.

this squat would be way cuter with some rockin' sequin chucks..

don't you agree?! just sayin.....

*i'm back squatting in my dress because i was late and didn't want to waste time, 

so i just busted out some reps in my dress.
