30 day challenge: NO TV →
From the people who brought you the WHOLE 30, comes the 30 day NO TV challenge.
Don’t think I could do it! Maybe if I lived alone and stocked up on LOTS of books!
Anyone in?

Worked on Squat Clean and Jerks today to get ready for the 11.3 Open WOD (our box is doing it on Friday). warmed up with women’s (empty) bar (35#) and then 55#
From there went up to 65# and then 70, 75, 80, 85#. I struggle to really clean the bar up by opening up my hips (and then dropping under it into the squat). I was muscling it up with my arms until prob about 70#

That's HOT!
So I just bought a Groupon for Bikram Yoga. $29 for one month unlimited classes. :/

my post WOD comment: “it doesn’t hurt…” (talking about my leg! yay!)
I love this WOD and I was bummed to not be able to run the 800s,...

Deep Tissue/Active Release/Orthopedic
I’m going to get a massage for my lower left leg in hopes of helping the mysterious pain i have been having. My friend referred me to the place I am going, and she said “this will not be an ‘oh that feels so good’ massage. It’s going to be painful.” I’m ready! I just want my leg to get better!
Full recap later!
