Squaw peak - April's View this weekend! Amazing...."Live in your Strength"

"Live in your Strength"

What a view! Hello all of you! Great workouts, you both are doing awesome! I look up to you both. This weekend was a great weekend for me. My gym had a 7 peaks hike on Sat. and Sun., I could only make Saturdays hike, but it was awesome. All women (26 in all) did 15 miles of hiking on Sat. started at 7:00am and finished about 3:30pm. We did two trails by my house and then 2 trails by Squaw Peak (Tiff you may have heard of that trail) the third which was Squaw peak was the hardest, 4 miles RT and grade increase was to 1200 ft. Once you go to the top you felt like you were on the top of the world. It felt like doing 100s of lunges, because the trail was so steep. It probably wouldn't of been so bad if we didn't do 2 other trails with almost the same incline before hand. It was a nice experience and fun to be with all women and meet some great individuals. by April Lamb

WOW really Jan 11th since my last post! Where does time go.  I hope and can see that we are all plugging away in our crossfit journeys.  I have one month to the Crossfit 2012 competition season starts and days I start to get nervous, but I just try and remember I can only do as best as I can do.  We have all had challenges this year that have cause less effort in the gym, but we have always stayed true to the plan. 
Last weekend I did the last workout of the Construction series and for the first time I had a open positive mind!  I knew the first WOD I wasn't going to be able to get a time, but I just kept trying to get my first muscle up for 15 min.  I could have been down to start the workout, but I stayed very up beat and positive.  Four workouts on the hour ever hour.
First WOD was 5-4-3-2-1 of
110lbs Clean and Jerk
Muscle ups for time. 
2nd WOD was in 10 min
Row 2K and as many double unders the rest of time.
Row took me 8.20 and I could have been fast and did 124 double unders
3WOD- This was killer never done before
15,12,9
R arm Kettle Bell Snatch with 1.5 pood
L arm Kettle Bell Snatch with 1.5 Pood
Burpees.
The kettle bell snatch was super hard but got it done in 14:46 next day arms were toast.

4th WOD- 12 Min AMRAP
10 wall balls with 14# to 10foot line
5 Toes to Bar

I did 12 rounds. 

I was very happy with how I did and found out today I finished 9th out of 19 girls.  Not bad for an older girl. 

Yesterdays Junk!

I can say we have all done this in our lives, and I know we all want to move forward in our lives.  I feel so blessed your all in my life even when I can be a total pain in the ass and say stupid things.  Cry to often and yell to much I love you all and feel so blessed your in my life.  I would do anything at any time for any of you if you needed something.  Lets let yesterdays junk go!  That is my promise to myself today. 

Stronger Than you Think!

I have been terrible on here once again I apologise.  Wishing you all an amazing 2012. 

I'm going to make an effort to blog daily and keep you updated.

Curry Coconut Chicken stir fry.

Cut up a 3-4 breast of chicken and heat in skillet with oil (coconut) and garlic.

Once starting to brown add the Curry more than you think.

Once the chicken is cooked add a package of mixed frozen veggies and one can of coconut milk.

Add more curry if you think it needs more flavour.

Simmer for 20 min so that all veggies get the flavour of the Curry. 

My own personal creation.
