My CrossFit Journal (week 37)

No Comments

Since yesterday was my OOTWW and Friday was Tanya’s, today is my CrossFit journal posting. I’m still having difficulty finding the time to balance CrossFit and climbing together. I’m considering morning workouts at CrossFit, but I honestly don’t want to. I’m really not a morning person. I know you can train your body used to it, but do I really want to drive 10 minutes in the winter and work out at 6am? Meh…we’ll see.

Week 37 Day 1.

Back Squat
5-5-5-5-5

I have a new personal record for my backsquat. Back in July, which was exactly 17 weeks ago I could only lift 80lbs for my max. Now I passed 85lbs and now my new max is 90lbs! I did five in total. I first bumped from 85lbs to 95lbs and could only do two and dropped the weight. So I put it back down to 90 and my depth was still there. Success!!!

I made a joke to myself and on Twitter that night, saying I can back squat your grandma. There are some really strong people at CrossFit. It’s amazing what some of the girls the same size as me can back squat. One girl was over 185lbs for hers. Insane, right??? I’d feel my quads would pop off if I did that lol

Onto my OOTWW! Hope you all enjoyed the special outfit of the work week edition that my friend Tanya did for the blog! I love her style. I also want those two pairs of riding boots she owns.  :)

Have a great Saturday all! I’m off to put on one of my two free t-shirts I got from belaying at the climbing gym, and I’m going to belay for a birthday party! Fun fun!

Monday was Halloween — hence the Mary Katherine Gallagher pose ;)

OOTWW — Featuring Tanya!

6 Comments

Surprise! It’s my good friend Tanya sporting the outfit of the work week (OOTWW) this Friday! I’ve talked about Tanya a lot on this blog. I think I usually refer to her as my running/crossfit/climbing buddy and probably don’t refer to her in her first name.

But now you can put a face to the … nickname? I love all Tanya’s OOTD’s for this week, don’t you love her white blazer? Oh and the boots. It’s probably because we both have the same taste in style and clothing. What outfit of Ta’s are your favorite? Also, vote below if you want to see more of Tanya’s OOTWW posts, I definitely do!

I’ve ordered some similar riding boots online, they’ll be delivered to my place in no time… then I’ll have to get boot dryers, if I get them wet, which I don’t intend to.

Which outfits of Tanya did you like? I think Tuesday and Wednesday are my favs. I love Thursday’s jacket too.

Also make sure you stay tuned for my OOTWW coming tomorrow morning.
