My weights are getting heavy.  Bar is teetering and weights are sliding.... though I did complete all required sets and reps!  Feel like a big girl now that my clean sets are 100lbs! 

Back Squat: 3x5 @137lbs
Press: 3x5 @72lbs
Clean: 5x3 @100lbs

Goal today:  go to bed early!!!!

Really, I am not an idiot, but yet again I messed up on two of only three lifts today.  I am going to blame it on the fact that it was Monday and I went to the gym at 5AM.  I was 1lb over on my bench- I couldn't add the fractional plates correctly... then I was almost 10lbs over on my dead lift. (Coach caught it- both times!)  Really, I can add... I passed math in school...  oh well.  I guarantee next time I will be counting the weights a few times when adding to the bar.

Dead lifts are hard when your hands are torn from 100 pull-ups! 

Back squat: 3x5 @135lbs
Bench press: 3x5 @93lbs
Dead lift: 1x5 @165lbs

Goal today:  nap?

Glad I went, I almost skipped it.  GNO last night.  It was tough, especially the pull-ups.  My hands ripped on the last 30.  They really hurt.  I put New Skin liquid band-aid on it- I think my neighbors heard me scream.  Holy cow that 10 seconds of burning was worse then the WOD.  It literally feels like some one is putting a cigar out on your palms.  Of course Dominick was almost on the floor laughing at me. ( I had to put it on him once and he didn't like it very much) Then my two little ones were trying to figure out what the heck was going on.  I showed Vincent my hands and then he thought it was cool.  He said he was going out to the garage to make his hands hurt too!  He did three ring pull-ups and then climbed the pole.  I love that my kids love the new bar and rings.  It will definitely get good use.  My friends think I am crazy.  They can't figure out why I would do something that would hurt my body like that.  CrossFit isn't for everyone, but it is for me!  As Kate was saying this morning- CF is an individual sport but also a group one, for support and encouragement, but also it is nice to know other people that love it too and not think you are crazy.  It's nice to have other people to relate to and suffer with!!!!

Goal today:  Keep my palms away from anything that will sting them! 

Super excited... finally finished my pull-up bar and ring station in my garage!!! That's a lot of work when you have no clue what the heck you are doing. But I figured it out, plus my husband was kind enough to help me out! My worst fear is that it detaches somehow from wall or ground... First thing I did was one pull-up and then a muscle up! Can't do too many, tomorrow is Hero WOD Daniel. 100 pull-ups total. I am seriously thinking about getting gloves, last time I did 100 pull-ups I ripped my hands really bad! Then they hurt for a week!
Rings

Going to try again today to get my pull-up bar set up. I am going to go to the other Lowes out off of Six Mile. Hope I have better luck there and with the day crew working maybe they will be more helpful!

Don't know what happened but during today's wod I almost threw-up. I should have had 10 rds or at the very least 9 but when I hit 8 rds my stomach just said to me, that's enough. As I was doing my last couple reps of GHD sit-ups I could feel and hear my coffee sloshing around. I look back on it now and I am mad at myself for quitting. (the last 30 seconds I walked outside because I thought I was going to throw-up) I slowed down on round 8 when I started feeling crappy - I should have just kept going. Next time- I'll throw-up and not quit.

Goal today: eat a lot!

I don't like LOWES! Every time I go there I don't get what I want or need- my new den cabinets came form there and nothing but problems from the design to the install. Tonight I went to get the galvanized pipe cut and threaded to hang a pull-up bar in my garage. The first guy that came to "help" me was an old man and he of course said "We don't do that here." I was like, "Yes you do because of friend of mine got hers here and she told me all about it." He obviously didn't have a clue and just walked away from me when I was telling him again that Lowes DOES do it, I know they do it! Dominick was so embarrassed ! He couldn't believe that I was telling a Lowes man all that. So I just figured the guy was too old and didn't know how to do it, (which he should have said from the start instead of telling me they don't do that there) so I went to customer service to ask for a person who could help me specifically. So customer service called to see who was working and "Chuck" told her he would talk to me but I had to go to isle 30. When I got there I was like "Hi Chuck, can you cut galvanized pipe?" ( he was old too) Mind you he was so busy putting away little pvc pipe fittings that he couldn't even look up at me. He answered me by saying, "I have before" Then he dramatically puts the pvc pipes elbows down and looks at me like I am interrupting him with a big sigh. Like if he doesn't get every last little stupid pipe put away in the next 5 mins he wasn't going to get his pay check. He gave me such an attitude about it, I just told him forget it and walked away. Then of course as I am walking away he was like, wait what do you need? I just kept walking. There is no need for an attitude. When does helping a customer in your department become such a problem? Isn't that his job? I was so mad. I am not sure if I was more mad because I didn't get my bar installed today or they were idiots at Lowes!
