So didn't do a lot during the week, but as Tim gently reminded me I should be doing posts even if I haven't worked out that day.
Today was the first day of Tim and Jack's Wounded Warrior competition which was awesome to see! Such an amazing atmosphere at Crossfit Perth, it just makes me want to do crossfit everytime! Still working on the money side of things so for now its on my own. I'm lucky to have two friends that are willing to give me good workouts to try! They did such an awesome job at olympic lifting today, both getting personal records. So that was definitely enough to swing me back into gear!
I learned today that 'tabata' is when you do a movement for 20 seconds and then take 10 seconds rest, repeating 8 times. So that makes 4 minutes. At least I hope that's right-if not please correct me either Marshall! Tim told me to do tabata squats so that's what I did. And then that wasn't enough so I kept going. Ow.
Workout:
Tabata squats = 133 squats
Tabata sit ups = 85
Tabata push ups = 99 (first 15 were proper ones but that clearly was not sustainable so I changed to girl push ups)
Tabata phantom chair
Tabata plank
The push ups were the hardest, definitely have to get better at those, I used to be able to smash out so many proper ones so there's a lotttttt of room for improvement! Towards the end of the chair and the plank I was definitely shaking. Tim said to aim to do at least 15 squats each time and did about 16 so I was pretty happy with that.
Food was erratic today (and Tim and Jack I know when you read this you are going to have a heart attack about the bread etc etc etc etc hahaha). I had Grill'd twice today! Lunch and dinner! Lunch after the boys comp and then dinner with Mum and Dad. Disassssssssssster!
Food intake:
Porridge for breakfast
2 pieces of wholemeal bread with avocado
Summer sunset for lunch
Summer sunset for dinner
salt and vinegar almonds during the day
I think the way to go foodwise will be to make a plan the night before for what I am going to eat and stick to it. Without a plan it's too easy to do something stupid like have Grill'd twice in a day. And I did the workout so soon after dinner that I nearly tasted Grill'd a third time in one day, as it nearly came back up. Grossss
Far out, comitting the Tabata! thanks for coming with and supporting us on sat, made all the difference. Super stoked with those lifts hehe. btw- what's a 'phantom chair'? I am intrigued..
ReplyDeleteyou might call it a wall sit? its just when you sit against a wall as if you were on a chair but there's no chair. I'm pretty sure i've heard you calling it a wall sit...
ReplyDeleteand no worries at all, i love coming :) you smashed it!
