I need some motivation!
I guess I have post-vacation depression or something because I am at rock bottom as far as motivation goes these days. I do not want to get out of bed. I do not want to go to work. I practically force myself to go to CrossFit every morning. I don't give a rats ass about eating clean, even though I am doing it, grudgingly. I just want to sit down with a good book and an endless glass of wine and some nice dark chocolate and only get up when I have to pee. Right now, that would be my dream world. Ha! I know...so realistic, huh?
Anyway, I'm going to have to do something drastic to motivate myself. I don't think "The Open" is going to motivate me. I mean, we all know there will be some torturous variation of Fran, and a shit-ton of burpees. That will not motivate me. No, I need to sign up for a 5k or a mud run or something different, just to get me back in a good frame of mind. Something fun. (Although the book and wine and chocolate still sound like a decent plan to me.)
Today's WOD:
2 Rounds of a 7min AMRAP of:
40 Double Unders
20 Kettlbell swings 70#/55#/35#
10/7 Kettlebell Push-ups (hands on one KB Handle, chest touches)
2min rest between rounds
*Start up each round where you stopped on the last round. Score is total rounds and reps.
My score: 4 rds + 2 DU
I used a 35# kettlebell and did regular strict push ups. That kettlebell push up was just an invitation to break my nose, which I politely declined. My first round of double unders were a battle, but the next few were not so bad. I broke them up intentionally. Seems like a set of 10 or 15 would get me so winded I just had to rest. Lazy....I'm just lazy.
Speaking of lazy, I kinda sand-bagged on the strength today, which was Bench Press:
9 x 55
6 x 65
3 x 85
20 x 55
