Hump Day!!

Wednesday's Workout

So, this morning I almost pussed out and hit the snooze button when my alarm went off at 5 am. The good news is that despite the fact that Ryker refuses to go to sleep at bedtime anymore and that he loves to switch up his routine every three days and confuse his dad and I, I still got out of bed and made it to this morning's 6 am WOD.

20 Min. EMOM (Every minute on the minute)

3 Snatch Deadlifts

2 Power Snatches

1 Overhead Squat

So, this is what we were supposed to do but we were short on the 35 pound bars. My friend Sarah and I shared a barbell, so we were scaled down to every other minute for the twenty minutes. Stefan, the coach this morning, also scaled the movements so our workout looked more like this:

20 Min. Every other minute on the minute

2 Power Snatches

3 Overhead Squats

We started out with just the 35 pound bar, but then we added five pounds. Considering the weight that some of the other girls were throwing around I was a little disappointed in not doing more weight, but overhead squats  make me extremely nervous, so we figured it would be better to work on improving our skill with the movement instead of going to heavy. The good news is that the bar plus 5 pounds turned out to be a personal record for both Sarah and I!

I was thinking that maybe tonight I would get a good jog in, but then I remembered that Vic and I have chiropractor appointments and we desperately need to make a grocery store run. I'm trying to eat as cleanly and Paleo as possible. The Lurong Living Challenge is coming up quick and I would really like to not be a big ole' cheater when it comes to that! My goal this week is four workouts and to try and get some running in. I have that Half Marathon coming up in October that I signed up for right after I had Ryker. I'd really like to try and train enough to complete it and not have to defer my registration to next year.

On a Ryker note...we're in big boy diapers! We are officially out of the land of newborn diapers and should be moving on past the newborn clothes also. He's getting so big, it's nuts! I'm kind of sad to see some of my favorite onesies and pajama sets not fit him anymore, but I know it just means that it's time for more new cute clothes! Hope everyone has a great Hump Day!
