CFX WOD: Modified "Christine"
Four Rounds for time of:
Run 400m
12 Body Weight Deadlift (12 Back extensions and 12 glut-ham sit ups)
21 Box Jump 60/40cm
Around 27 minutes. Forgot to stop the timer!

Not sure if I'll be able to do the deadlifts.

I've been following the coverage of Paris Fashion Week and I'm just ecstatic to see that most of the models are all decently shaped. There's been more shapely thighs, hips and arms which is just great to see. Some of the models, I would actually deem as having great body too!

Still sick, no appetite, no energy.

Yesterday, I clocked up about ten hours sleep overnight and another seven during the day. I had absolutely no energy and my head was going nuts. I would go to bed when I couldn't take the feeling in my head, wake up feeling slightly better and then jump back in bed because the feeling came back. If I stood up too quickly, my head would start throbbing even more.

Today I am feeling slightly better. I still don't have an appetite and still lacking energy but at least the feeling in my head isn't as bad as yesterday.

No training today.

Update on my bicep tendonitis: slightly better, but still not 100%. It's probably about 60% at the moment. Good thing that I'm sick~

No training today as I have come down with the flu. Shame!

I love Jessica Mauboy's new song. She's the 2006 Australian Idol runner-up.

Last night I went out and had a few drinks. An absinth shot, a vodka shot and a whole lot of water. So today, I will get punished for it!

CFHQ WOD
Four rounds for time of:
400m run
50 squats
19:29:53

I remember the last time I ran after squats. Such a funny feeling but I might try rowing if my shoulder is up for it. Had to sleep with an ice pack last night. Lucky I was pretty tired and it didn't bother me at all! This is the workout that's responsible for my bicep tendonitis:

Filthy Fifties

For time:

50 Box jump

24 inch box

50 Jumping pull-ups

1 pound 50 Kettlebell swings

Walking Lunge 50 steps

50 Knees to elbows

50 Push press

45 pounds 50 Back extensions

50 Wall ball shots

20 pound ball

50 Burpees

50 Double unders

So maybe this blog isn't only about my training and eating regime after all...

Four of my current Topshop obssessions. I think I might get the black sandal heels and the playsuit and the shorts (if they ever come out in a different print, which, I'm sure they will. I just can't ever see myself pulling off anything with leopard print on them. Yergh.).

First post

So inspired by Shari Kreener at Cross Fit Santa Cruz, California, I have decided to start a blog entailing the details of my daily workout and possibly some insight into my diet. This blog is intended for me to be able to record my progress so hopefuly I can be consistent with my blogging!

The past two days I've spent resting because I have bicep tendonitis in the right arm. Considering all the days I've had on in the gym compared to the days I spent resting, I am not suprised. I recently had issues with my calf from sprints and my elbow from ring pull ups as well. I really do want to get back to the gym tomorrow but not sure how my shoulder will be tomorrow so I'll decide when I wake up.

On Monday I decided to do one-legged squats as I couldn't do any upper body work. The last time I did one-legged squats, I had to hand onto a pole to help me on the way up. This time, I did ten on each leg without any assistant and I'm pretty sure I could have done more. What an improvement!

Today I headed out to Bondi with my sister for a shopping day so my diet was not very impressive.

• Half a pop tart
• Soy hot chocolate
• Swiss bircher mueslie
• Half a slice of sourdough, egg white scramble, baked beans and ricotta
• 3 "Sticky" lollies
• Sunflower seeds
• 1 banana and 2 tbs of cottage cheese

As you can see, it is seriously lacking vegetables which is not normal for me.
