Knee Injury!

Yesterday was a hard day for me, when I saw the WOD at CrossFit Mamas, I knew I couldn't do it without a struggle. 

Thursday 11.15.12

"Murph"

(Mamas style) 

For time:

1 mile Run

100 Push-ups

200 Sit-ups

300 Squats

1 mile Run

Partition the push-ups, sit-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run.

A few days ago a probably did a ''wrong'' movement and an old knee injury's returned. I decided to do an Insanity Workout instead of The WOD at CrossFit Mamas (Thursday November 15th, 2012), but this morning, my knee is killing me! (The one I felt is explained by the green writing...)

I know I shouldn't stop working out, but for tonight, I will do a recovery workout (from the Insanity program) and take it easy for the weekend.

Well I might try it anyway .... (bad me)

Friday 11.16.12

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps of:

Crossfit sit-ups

Squats

Shouldn't be so hard for my little knee, if I do the squats the right way!

I hope I will be back on track on Monday November 19th!

Friday WOD from CrossFit Mamas and Running Injuries!

WOD from CrossFit Mamas!

found at http://dailyinfographic.com/

One thing you should know is that I hate running! I have some problems with my right hip and I always suffer from it at the end of the run (and days later!)

 

Anyway at home I only got the Elliptic. I did the running part on it, it's really different from running, the movement isn't the same and as proof, I never get bored and I wasn't hurt! Anyway, here is my result: 7:20 (with 20 lbs. push-press dumbbells!)

Run 300 meters

20 Push press, 20 lbs.

Run 300 meters

15 Push press, 20 lbs.

Run 300 meters

Yesterday was my day off and I try the Orzo spinach/tomato soup! It was good, easy and didn't take a lot of time and ingredients to make it! I have almost everything at home already!

Found at: Babble: The family kitchen

Spinach Tomato Orzo Soup

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 lb. spinach, fresh or frozen, defrosted

1 – 15 oz. can dice Italian tomatoes (with oregano and basil)

1 lb. package orzo pasta

Method

1. Preheat a large soup. Drizzle with olive oil. Add onions and saute until tender. Add garlic and saute for 2 – 3 minutes. Add canned tomatoes, spinach, chicken or vegetable stock and water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium.

I really liked this first WOD! Can't wait to see the WOD of tomorrow!

Cross Fit and Pregnancy?

Being able to look in the mirror and be satisfied with my body... this one is tough! I keep reminding myself not to push too hard (because I got easily injured) and be patient about the results, the progress, the transformation... I saw my mother last weekend and we were shopping... I hate shopping... And I thought: hey I did enough progress that my mother would notice... Hummm... Nop! Nothing, not even a word about a possible change in my aspect, body, mind and soul! Even when I said that I was eating Pumpkin Protein Bars, she didn't even ask me why!

Well, now I'm in that specific stage of my life and I need to take a decision: having a baby or not.

If I'm pregnant, yeah, I know you can continue to workout and there's a lot of good workout and training program for pregnant women, but all I am doing right now is for nothing? Because in shape or not, a pregnant woman isn't skinny, isn't in shape (at some point!). After a few months, no matter what, no matter how hard you working out and of course, you might stop the regular (or not) workout you're being doing and just be a pregnant woman?

Big and fat. Again. Then after the pregnancy, you'll have to do the entire workout again...

Mama! I gonna cry!

Am I doing this for nothing? Because obviously I’ll have to do it all over again after the baby's out... For the peace of my mind, body and soul! I not the kind of person who's going to lay all day on the couch, doing nothing because she's now a mommy... (and everybody knows that a mommy, do a lot of thing, so where am I going to find the time to train again. And training harder, with the baby, the house, cooking, family and friends who want to spend time with me and the baby!

I want a pizza...

Geez... Can we really do this when we are pregnant?

Well it's seems that we can! Ok never mind this whole post, I should stay in shape and do cross fit when I'm pregnant! YAY! No seriously, this picture is awesome and inspirational! Thank you, whoever you are! Oh: Heather Bergeron!?!? 

Cross fit session here I come

YAY! I got a super offer today from one of my friend: she invited me to start (with her) and try the Cross fit session! So I'm now in for 10 sessions of Cross fit, I hope I'll enjoy it! I'll give you my feedback of the first session this week because I'm starting it tomorrow!!!! 

Super Excited, Thrilled and Scare!!!

I don't think I can do this!!! O_O

What is CrossFit?

I was wondering the same question for a few weeks already, and I didn't look for an answer until I stumbled upon a video via Pinterest (love this website! you can follow my ''Pins'' HERE!)

 And OMG it felt like.... I don't even know which word I should use for describing the feeling I had when I saw it... 

Girls Who DO CrossFit

Anyway, after seeing the video, I REALLY wanted to learn more about CrossFit and I guess some of you out there wants too, here another video I found on YouTube that explained a little bit more!

And CrossFit Games 2012 (Canada East Regional!)... Wish I knew this at the right time :P
