Goals

Last night's WOD was TOUGH!  I wasn't sure how I was going to make it through it.  But even before then I had some hurdles to climb over.  So the entire time of the WOD I was hoping for courage to give me the strength to do what I needed to do. 

3 rounds for time of:  33:45

20 sumo deadlift high pulls (M:75#/W:55#)
20 box jumps (M:20″/W:14″)
20 push press (M:75#/W:55#)
20 wall balls (M:20#-10′/W:14#-9′)

I just couldn't get it together on sumo deadlifts.  I made sure my hands were placed in the middle but I always seemed to have the bar leaning one way or the other.  Next time I need to ask what I'm doing wrong. 

For box jumps I stepped on 4 45lb. weights.  It was a challenge as I struggle with heights but I found myself having a harder time of stepping down than stepping up.   Guess maybe that trainer is right I'm scared of falling more than I'm scared of being up high.  But I think next time I'll move the weights a little farther from the wall so I don't do the merry go round stepping from one side to the other - LOL!  Maybe I provided some entertainment for the trainer ;-)

I really did work on using my hips for the push presses.  At times I could feel it was easier to get the bar up over my head but other times I didn't.  I'll just keep working on it. 

Those wall balls are killing me!  But I went and got my weights and wall ball for the squat part.  I remember my butt touching the wall ball probably half of the time.  In fact,  at one point I think the trainer was having a moment and got me another weight for the squat part ;-) 

It was a tough WOD but I really do prefer these over the ones that are either AMRAPS or set numbers. 

So, I had been discussing and most of all thinking what I was going to put on the goal board and when.  I finally decided Mon. afternoon I was going to do it.  I sucked it up and put how much weight I want to lose total.  I still want to erase it but it's staying.  I didn't cry to my surprise.  I was questioned by 2 members about it and they're thinking it was too much to lose.  I was proud of myself for staying in the conversation and not walking away which is what I usually do. 

I'm making baby steps and as long as I continue to progress and improve I should be okay.
