done with fundamentals

Finished up the CFJC fundamentals class this week, with classes Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

On Tuesday we went over a lot of the movements we'd already learned, and then we learned proper form for kettlebell swings. The workout at the end of class was:
10 minutes as many rounds as possible of:
5  one-handed kb swing (each side)
10 push ups
15 jumping squats

I got through 7 full rounds, then the kb swings and 4 push ups... tough one!

This morning we were tested on everything we had learned over the 6 classes - then we did a partner workout. Sounds simple enough: Row 4000M. Switch with your partner every 500M, so each person ends up doing 4 sets of 500M. This was a leg burner!

My partner and I pushed it and got 17:33 total time. Felt good after!

Can't wait to go to some regular classes now!

run

sportwatch wasn't working! ran 20 minutes, somewhere a little over 2 miles

fundamentals class #4

Today was class #4 of fundamentals at CrossFit Jersey City and I'm loving it so far. Today we learned proper technique for hang cleans and push jerks. Then we split into two groups, one group did wall balls and the other learned handstand pushups (or scaled versions of them...)

Workout at the end was:

3 rounds of:
15 Deadlifts
12 Hang Cleans
9 Push Press
(65#)

We did it with a partner, each of us rotating with the exercises, so it theory we did 6 rounds total. We finished at 10:04.

run

2 miles

fundamentals class #3

Today was class 3 of fundamentals at CFJC! We learned proper form for deadlifts, and sumo deadlift high pulls. Then we did this workout:

(Partner workout)
100 kettlebell sumo deadlift high pulls (35#)
100 box jumps
100 sit ups

(since it was a partner work out, we split the work - so I did 50 reps of each !)

fundamentals class #2

Today was the second class of fundamentals at CFJC! We loosened up (good thing, I was sore!) then learned about the shoulder press, push press and thrusters. After that, we broke up into groups and learned dips and pull ups and rowing.

Figured out I need to use the GREEN band when I do dips and pull ups to scale to my weak bod, and also learned some new stuff about rowing that I hadn't known before.

Ended with this workout:

21-15-9 of:
Push press
Lunges
(33# bar)

fundamentals class #1

Had my first Fundamentals class at Crossfit JC this AM...  great start to the day! We talked a little about what Crossfit is, then started getting into movements - today we focused on squats: air squats, back squats, overhead squats, front squats... Also did push ups and burpees.

Did a few little workouts:

2 rounds of: 3 burpees, 5 push ups, 7 air squats...

Then the real work out for the day:
200 M run

15-12-9 of:
Goblet squats

Money I Spent This Weekend

There is a really great blog about money called The Billfold that I've been following lately. About once a week, they have people post about "My Last Hundred Bucks," basically where they spent their last hundo.

I thought I'd do a version called "Money I Spent This Weekend With My Friend In Town..." Here goes:

Friday:
$12 to see Amy Poehler speak at the 92nd Street Y
$14 at City Crab for Lobster Mac & Cheese & a glass of wine
$21 for drinks at The Lamp Post

Saturday:
$4 lemonade at Smorgasburg
$6 taco at Smorgasburg
$5 fried mozzarella balls at Smorgasburg
$48 bar tab for lots of drinks for friends at Crown Victoria
$35 dinner & drinks at Hatchi
$21 cab ride to WTC PATH (don't usually travel in style but it was late and had a friend in town)
$5 cab ride home from PATH

Sunday:
$4 bagel
$1.50 Gatorade after my soccer game
$24 for a new racerback bra!
$48 for dinner at Hill Country for me & my friend
$30 for 2 tickets to ASSCAT3000
$4 for ice cream

GRAND WEEKEND TOTAL:
$282.50
Actually not too bad for a really busy weekend of fun!

Side note: Also won $198 off my $3 US Open bet for Webb Simpson, so I'm gonna say the weekend was a great success overall.

Spartan Sprint!

Today we drove up to Tuxedo, NY and did the Spartan Sprint! 3.5 hilly miles with a bunch of fun obstacles. It was tough but we had a good time (and got very muddy)...

Felt good & like those work outs have been paying off, cleared every obstacle except 3 (can't rope climb, missed the target on the javelin throw, and fell off while I was traversing a wall). That meant a total of 90 burpees in penalties!

Overall, a good time.

BODY PUMP

Took a body pump class during my lunch break. It was interesting, lots of different sets with a bar and weight that worked different parts of the body. Think I will be feeling it tomorrow...

Dermont's Writing Challenge

DERMONT'S WRITING CHALLENGE: Write the beginning of a story from the point of view of a first person narrator who refuses to do what he/she is told to do. What will your character do instead? What lengths will your character go to in order to avoid completing a direct order? Why/How does your character make things hard on his/herself?

Begin with one of the following phrases:

I was supposed to. . . .

My father insisted I . . . .

Don’t tell me what to do. . . .

Everyone always wants something from me. . . . .

SHARE IT HERE. ROCK ON!

(via soulpancake)


I decided to try this out... here's what happened:

My father insisted that I leave the light alone. “But it’s blown out!” I yelled down back down the stairs, determined to help remedy the situation. His response was meant to be final: “Just leave it!”

But I couldn’t just leave it. I was only going to be home for two days; it was the least I could do to help out. I reached up to unscrew the light bulb. The next thing I knew I was holding the entire fixture in my hand. The only thing keeping it attached to the ceiling was a thin blue wire.

“Uh oh,” I said, used to talking to myself as I accomplished household tasks, both an inherited trait and also a subliminal coping mechanism for living alone. But I wasn’t alone this time.

“What did you do?” My father had apparently heard the reaction meant only for my ears. I quickly tried to call down that everything was fine, but it was too late. I could hear his heavy steps already making their way up the stairs.

And for some reason, I started to laugh. Here I was, holding an entire light fixture above my head, with my soon to be frustrated father on his way to the scene, and I couldn’t stop giggling.

He arrived at the top of the stairs, squinting through his bifocals at the mini disaster. He took the light out of my hands. “I told you to leave it!” he grumbled. “I was trying to help!” I honestly felt that his attitude was a little extreme; after all, maybe the fixture he installed shouldn’t have been so easily removed from the ceiling. All I did was twist it…

“Just go downstairs.”

And just like that, I was banished from helping fix my mess. Deemed useless. I fled to the living room, where my brother and mom sat on the couch, watching my shameful retreat. They did not try to stifle their smiles.

“What did you do?” Mom was inquisitive.

“I accidentally pulled out the light fixture.”

This seemed to be hilarious to my brother, who burst into laughter. I slid onto the couch, curling up next to my mom, transforming into her baby girl. I was safe here.

She sighed and ran her hand through my hair.

“What are we going to do with you?”

Honestly, I didn’t know myself.

MARY : I'm going to accept him. Do you think I should?

ANNA: Thats not for me to say. if you love him more than anyone in the world, then of course you should.

MARY: It's not as simple as that.

ANNA: No? It is for me. But then I'm not your ladyship.

MARY: Did you love Bates more than anyone in the world?

ANNA: I did...I do. I'll never love again like I love him. Ever.

MARY: Well, there you are then. One day you'll meet someone else, and you'll marry. Perhaps it will be second best, but it doesn't mean you can't have a life.

ANNA: I think it does. For me.

I want to finish at least 3 runs under 6:30 by the end of the year (or the end of the world, whatever comes first). This was a benchmark I guess, first time I just went out and ran 1 mile trying to go fast. I didn't warm up at all, so hopefully a good warm up will help me next time as I try to cut 1 minute off today's time...yikes!

GOALS

Okay I didn't do a December challenge - what a jerk I am! I was planning on writing a spec script, and then on my week off I just got really lazy and laid around watching movies and tv shows and took my dog on walks and had family dinners and didn't write a script.

So I think I need to write goals down so I am held responsible to complete them by all my loyal readers ! (hi mom)

And it seems like everyone is doing the whole New Year's Resolution thing right now, so I may as well hop on board.

So here goes, my two goals (gotta start slow):

1. Write the first draft of a spec script by FEBRUARY 6TH. That gives me a little over 4 weeks. Hopefully I get myself to start it before the last minute.

2. Lose 10 pounds. I feel like I put on a bit of weight. I'd like to lose it! Last night I came home from work, ate an entire package of Trader Joe's ravioli, AND ice cream. AND watched 4 and a half straight hours of television (it was the last four episodes of Homeland, can you blame me?). Anyways, gonna have to cut that stuff out. I guess I'll give myself the same cut off date for this goal as well: FEBRUARY 6TH.

LET THE GOALS BEGIN!
