Hello! Hello! Hello! I'm so happy to be back. The internet was down (again) last Thursday and Friday, and then I took a short trip to Northern Ohio to visit my grandmother/other relatives over the weekend (no internet service there, either). I was able to access the Cathe website on my phone...

Good morning! Had a short but sweet workout yesterday at CrossFit. After a 400 meter run we did 10x3 of overhead squats (15# barbell) + wall squats. I HATE overhead squats. I could barely do them with a 15# barbell. Anyway, after that we did a 10 minute AMRAP of 15 wall balls (14# ball) + 60...

Hi ladies! Yesterday's CrossFit workout wasn't that bad. We started with a short warm-up segment: 3 rounds of 5 burpees, 10 wall squats, and 15 pass-through shoulder stretches. After that we did OTM (on the minute) x 12. On the "odd" minute we did a power snatch + a squat snatch and on the...

Hi ladies!! I can't believe it is November already. Where is the time going?? Time to start Christmas shopping!! :) I've had a fun but crazy busy weekend. On Saturday I did a 2.5 "beer run" with my sister and friends. It was, um, interesting. Every 1/2 mile you got to stop and sample...

Happy Friday!!!! :) At CrossFit yesterday we started with 50 butt kicks and 50 high knees (+ stretches). After that, we did 1RM back squats. I only got up to 105# and i'm still not getting deep enough because of my hip flexors. Will they EVER HEAL?!?!?!?!?! Anyway, following the back squats...

Hi ladies! I didn't sleep well last night so I took a rest day today. Yesterday's workout consisted of CrossFit after work. We started with 50 butt kicks and 50 high knees. After that, we did 4x2 slow deadlifts (125# barbell) and 5x3 fast deadlifts (75# barbell). I probably could have gone...

Good morning. I had a nice CrossFit workout yesterday. We started with a combo of 1 squat clean + 2 jerks. I did that combo 5 times with a 55# barbell. I'm still not squatting very deep because of my hip flexors, but the fact that I can squat at all is an improvement over a few weeks ago...

Hello!! Yesterday was my rest day (and boy did I need it) and today i'm going to CrossFit after work. I'll report the workout tomorrow. :) Wiggie: How did the Kidney Walk go?? You did several killer workouts this past weekend. Great job! Was this your first time doing Flex Train? I can't...

Happy Saturday!! The Black Cat Chase 5k last night was a success! I ran it in 32.24. I thought it was a personal record, but I realized this afternoon I ran the same race last year in 32.11. :rolleyes: Oh well. :) I could have pushed my pace a little more but I stayed with my sister for this...

Good morning! I didn't have my best CrossFit workout yesterday. We started with a High Hang Squat Clean + Jerk. I used a 45# barbell and went shallow on the "squat". I'm not sure how many reps I did...maybe 6-8. We were really practicing form and technique. After that, everyone else did front...

Hello beauties! I enjoyed a great workout yesterday at CrossFit. We started with On The Minute (OTM) x 12 - (a) Odd - 200 meter row and (b) Even - 15 hollow rocks. I hope that makes sense! Basically on the odd minute we would row 200 meters (which usually took most of the minute) and on the...

Hi there! :) As I mentioned, I went to CrossFit yesterday after work. We did the following: (1). 5x3 Good Mornings (75# barbell) - my lower back is feeling it today! (2). 8x8 deadlifts (75# barbell) - I probably could have gone a wee bit heavier. (3). WOD - 5 rounds of: (a) 12...

Hello! I've got Crossfit tonight after work and i'm looking forward to it. :) I ordered these socks this morning: Fighter Black. I'm not sure why, I just wanted them. :rolleyes: I bought a pair of bright pink "Tough Tatas" socks to wear for our breast cancer awareness workout last Saturday...

Good morning! Saturday my Cross Fit gym held a special "Barbells for Boobs" workout for breast cancer awareness. The gym was sooo crowded. It was kind of loony, but at least for a good cause. The workout itself wasn't that hard - 400 meter run (repeat 3x) + 21 kettlebell swings (repeat 3x) +...

Hello! :) Sorry I've been IMA this week. I've been without internet for the past couple of days. Oh the horror!!! :p;) I can't even remember when I last checked in...Monday maybe? Nope, looks like it was Tuesday. Alrighty then! Let's see. Wednesday was CrossFit day. We warmed-up with 50...

Hi ladies. :) I went to Cross Fit Friday after work. Following a nice warm-up, we did 10 rounds of the following: 300 meter row, 1 minute plank hold. Next we did 5x5 hamstring/butt/low back lift (I used between 25# and 35#). Finally, we did 6 1/4 mile sprints. Overall, good stuff...

Hello. :) I took a rest day yesterday. I didn't sleep well the night before and was awfully tired. This morning I did 35/40 minutes of Cathe's Greatest Hits workout plus core. I really enjoyed the Greatest Hits DVD!! Even only doing my short premix I was sweating like crazy. I'm pleased with...

Good morning! Today I gave X10 a go. It was fun! I did the X49 premix which included the step, low impact, and cardio blast segments. I was surprised to see several strength/lifting moves in the segments. I was hoping it would be strictly cardio. Oh well! That's just a personal preference, of...

Happy Monday (I think, lol). :) Went to Cross Fit on Friday and enjoyed an excellent workout! We started with 50 jumping jacks (+ stretches), then did 5x5 Good Mornings (sets 1 & 2 - 35 pounds, sets 3 & 4 -55# and set 5 - 65#), and finished off with a drop set WOD that went like this: 60...

Oh my goodness, it is October already. Where is the time going? I'm secretly excited that it's fall. It's my favorite time of the year!! :) Well, i'm going to do something bad today. Do NOT tell my husband! ;) I'm going to go to Crossfit after work. I've felt like a lethargic slug all week...
