Muscle snatch 1-1-1-1-1 reps Power snatch 3-3-3-3-3 reps Snatch 5-5-5-5-5 reps 65 - 75 - 85* - 85 - 95 95* - 95* - 75 - 85 - 85 85 - 75 - 65 - 65 - 65 The * indicates a less than solid form. I ran out of gas at the end.

Still focused. 3 liters (or more) of water per day for 2 weeks now. My sink is shiny. Slept well last night and will go to bed early tonight. I will wake up at 5 no matter what so to get a full night I gotta hit the hay by 9. So. Chipping away at it. I'm doing 5 minute cap wods for this 3 day cycle and will increase to 7 for the next. 5 min AMRAP 5 FS @ 95 5 jumping pullups 40 jumping jacks. Got through 3. Front squats felt great until my left leg  spasmed. I know I need to train with better form because my quads hurt.

Finally! I am living in reality. I wake up at 5:30AM no matter what. I need my sleep. So I've been working on powering down by 8 or 9 PM. I did this successfully 3 times this week. I felt 100% better on the days I slept well. So, I'm still easing into the zone diet and getting better rest. I'm still working with the flylady. Key points: I am looking at the me I have potential to be while acknowledging the me I currently am. I am learning to dismiss the opinions of others with "so what." One habit at a time works best. 268.2

Standards. Mine can be - at least in my imagimation - too high. This is not news to me. I also am aware that I have a tendency to have an all-or-none attitude about my standards. I have plenty of anecdotal evidence to support this. Night before last, I didn't get much rest. As I went through the day I was aware that doing a workout was probably going to be a futile endeavor. So I played the "nearly 50" card. I feel good about this choice. No workout. By 6 PM last night I was waking up from a little nap to a phone call and a dinner invite. I went. I ate. I cheated. I came home and didn't do my flylady stuff. I slept. Takeaways... I should have gotten better sleep night before last. I shouldn't have worked out. I could have not cheated on my diet but it's cool. Part of the flylady mantra is not to be perfect. So I win. Today I do yesterday's WOD. I got up and did my morning flylady routine. I am making over a weeks worth of steelcut oats. I also am makin...

For time: 15-12-9 Deadlift 185 Jumping Pullups Somewhere around 10 minutes or probably less. I was interrupted so I'm not sure.  It was good tho. Then I did 10 Burpees. Tomorrow is 12...gonna start sucking soon.

As I work to move out of the fog I was in, I realize happiness is best achieved by practicing simple, small tasks. I do not need to wrap my arms around the world, I just need to do my laundry and pay my bills. I do these tasks with loving kindness for me. I think of taking care of me. I do my workouts for me. This revelation has shown me many errors of my past. I don't do what I do to avoid punishment. I don't do what I do to COMPETE with other people. I don't spite anyone. I am no longer in reaction mode when it comes to taking care of me.

Day 4 of burpees - 8 Weight 270 For time: 15-12-9 Hang cleans @ 95 Pushups 6:45

For nearly 2 weeks I've been working on flylady habits. Very cool way to learn to take action. Shiny sink! I'm declaring June to be Burpee month. So day of the month x 2 Burpees thrroughout the month. I just decided this so today, I owe 6.
