21/15/9
Both yesterday and today’s WOD incoporated the CrossFit 21/15/9 rep pattern and both days were amazing sweat sessions.
Yesterday:
- 21/15/9: Manmakers, pull-ups, crunches
- 20 minute treadmill interval
- eight minute ab Tabata interval [crunches & planks]
Today:
- 21/15/9: burpees, kettlebell swings, squats
- 4x12 bench press
- 2x20 weighted squats
- eight minute ab Tabata interval [crunches & planks]
All between nursing the boyfriend back to health— thanks for the warm thoughts sent this way! Every day he is doing better; he recommends avoiding abdominal surgeries at all costs because the recovery process is slow and frustrating [he’s a gym junky himself and it’s going to take him quite awhile to regain the abilities he had pre-surgery]

You haven't been blogging lately, is everything on track? I'd love to hear more about your current exercise routines and eating habits.
Yes ma’am everything is on track! Sorry about the absence, life got crazy for me [see my most recent entry for more details]. I’ve actually started training a girl up here in Alaska [I’m visiting here for awhile; I’m an East Coast girl] and have loved teaching someone health & CrossFit things. I’ve been eating the same as always, except for when I was in the hospital. I stick to as natural/clean/whole foods as possible and have been doing lots of workouts that involve burpees, thrusters, kettlebell swings, and running :) How’s everything with you?!
Possible triumphs impossible.

Ohlawds.
So life got a little crazy. As I said, I’m in Alaska visiting le boyfriend after his year deployment— well, a week ago, he had a little incident while playing Broomball (a sport similar to hockey). Long story short, his insides ruptured and he had emergency abdominal surgery that resulted in the removal of his appendix, colon reconstruction, and rearrangement of his digestive system. Crazy. We spent seven solid days in the hospital and now I’m back at his place helping him settle back in. Due to the events, my eating and workout habits have been way out of whack, but I’m thrilled to say I’m getting right back on track now that things are finally calming down. How’s everyone doing?! Any stories I’ve missed out on?

Ladylove: You are just one of the loveliest people inside and out.
— Randomly received this text this morning while at work and it absolutely brightened my day. You are quite the beauty yourself, S.

Yes.
Minus the grammar issues, I love this photo. And it’s entirely true that your diet plays a huge role in your weightloss journey— it’s damn near impossible to out exercise a bad diet. In the same sense, you want to NOURISH and FUEL your body, not just eat low calorie or whatever fad it is you’re attempting. Make it a lifestyle. You should enjoy your food. And when I say ‘you’ I mean all of you, especially your body. Fuel up. Be healthy. Be happy.
