Trained on Tuesday but just couldnt get my head back into it. Think the combination of shit diet/ no training / bad weather have turned me itno a lazy bastard.

We had about 2 or 3 inches of snow last night which then froze over so the roads were a bit slippy

And nearly forgot - Im going to be a Dad again. Baby number 3 due in June!

Took a run up to CF Fife tgo see Simon and thier new box with my mate Johnny. We also met Gez from CrossFit Swansea. Simon and Jez had done a fir bit of training before we got there, and after getting us warmed up they went off to do some Oly lifting while Johnny and I did a version of the Lumberjack 20 workout

I got 10 reps in and felt my back start to go so called it a day..stupid fucking back.

Wednesday - rest day as programmed

Thursday - Power snatch wod

Friday - rest day as programmed

Saturday - oops extra rest day ( beer and chocolate )

Had a great couple days at school on Thursday and Friday. Thursday was a military operation to get almost the entire school to the Pantomime at the Motherwell Civic Centre. Nearly 400 kids, plus 30 odd adults. We went to see Jack and the Beanstalk, my class took up almost the entire back row of the theatre, with the school taking up almost every seat, I think there was only about 30 seats that weren't taken up by our school.

Friday was the turn of Primary 5 to do the school assembly so I had another great day watching the kids do their stuff!

Was supposed to train on Saturday but was tired after work, so had a couple of beers and a couple of glasses of wine instead. Back to it today with either psuh jerks + helen on a boat or that nasty OHS + renegade row workout

Going to change things up a bit and follow the programming of Jay Ashman from FITNESSASRX.COM . I know him from Facebook and have seen his status updates with his workouts and also checked out his website when he started it. Going to follow it till at least the Indoor rowing comp in January and see how it goes

Sunday

2009-11-22T11:38:00.000-08:00

I planned on doing another weorkout on SAturday but got side tracked by beer and ice cream

Sunday

As many rounds in 20mins of

25 burpee
15 back squats 60kg

3 full rounds plus burpees and 4 back squats

This was meant to be body weight for the squats - about 85-90kg at the moment but there is no way I could have done that. Need to sort my training out, feel weak as a puppy.
