The knee is still aching when I sleep at night. Maybe it's because I curl up into fetal position, and when I stretch it hurts.

24 FebCouldn't get myself up in time for a workout this morning. Planning on doing two met con wods, but I doubt that will happen.
- AMRAP in 12 min: 3 squat cleans, 7 pull ups, 10 sit ups. I did power cleans because I didn't want to put any pressure on the knee. 75#s for the power cleans and jerks. Pull ups were my weak point here. Took me forever to get 7. I blame it on soreness and not wanting my calluses to rip(almost did). I'm not sure how many rounds I got, I need to watch the video and count it. I'm assuming 7, which total sucks because I wanted to do 1 per minute. If this were Monday, I knew I could of done it.
- practiced double unders
12:00 – 1 piece of the curry chicken(about 4-5oz) and some asparagus and brussel sprouts. 3 mango slices and some pineapple. Okay…i can't eat for another 3 hrs.

23 Feb5:00 – Workout #1
- Deadlift: 5/3/1/1/1 – 135#/155#/175#/195#/200#
I did some video of my air squats and front squats. I'm going to post it somewhere to get some feedback. LOL. I started to do one world's WOD, and then gave up after 2 minutes because of my damn freakin' calluses. I should of cut them last night. I will cut them when I get home, and maybe I'll try to the WOD again tonight at the box(depends on how I feel). LOL. Since I didn't finish the WOD, I'm working out during lunch. Stupid me, I need to find the mental capacity to push through a workout even though I may be aching or hurting somewhere. I have to push through, otherwise I won't be able to finish at sectionals and get a big fat "DNF" next to my name. BLEH!
7:00 – Soy chai
- Ran 2.5 miles at 7.0mph w/ incline of 2. Walked another .5 to cool down
12:20 – chicken salad with trek mix and extra cranberries

22 FebThis weekend was good. Stayed away from starch and ate a lot of veggies and protein on Saturday. My cheat on sunday was sweet potato fries. I was tempted a lot at the movies and stuff. Had to watch Thuan, his wifey, and my hubby eat sandwiches on baguette bread. **SIGH**

19 Feb5:30 – Workout #1(Active Rest Day)
- Biked for 30 minutes. I just wanted to do something because I didn't run last night. My knees did not feel good this morning, but after biking and icing, they are oook. Not sure what to do about tomorrow's throwdown. We'll see how I feel.
- Slowly did some back extensions(40 reps), then I was able to do 4 strict pull ups. Just wanted to see where I stood w/ that.
- Got on the scale.

18 Feb5:30 – Workout #1
- 75 KB Swings 1 pood
- 75 box jumps(used 8 aerobic steps plus the "" itself..i dont know what that thing is called)
- 75 lunges
- 75 sit ups
At every minute I did 4 air squats. Time: 17:24 – Should of been faster if I didn't stop at every 50 seconds to catch my breathe. Oh well. It was a good met-con workout, and I'm glad I finished. I just had to get through the swings and box jumps.

17 Feb5:00 – Workout #1
- Ran 1 mile
- Shoulder Press 3×5: 45-55-65-70-75(f)-70 I failed at 75#, so I just did the last set at 70 again. I got it up once, but couldn't get it the bar up again. Last week I couldn't get 70# up 3 times, so I think I'm making progress.
- Practiced some OHS w/ a pipe(similar to pvc, but made of steel)
7:00 – Nonfat caramel machiatto(sugar free vanilla). This is bad, but I had a free coupon because I'm such a loyal Starbeezy customer. TSK TSK TSK.
- Air squat workout
- HS Hold practice
- OHS. Worked with 45/55/60/65#. Lost it on my last 65# rep. Oh well, I do see improvement though.
I was going to do what Jan did this morning, but my OHS took a very long time. I'll see how my body feels and go to the box tonight if I want to get some met-con in.

16 Feb5:00 – Workout #1
- Ran 1 mile
- Worked on snatch w/ 45# bar
- Front Squat – 60% 2×10 (70#)
I had this long list of lifts to work on today, but when it really comes down to it, it's hard to do 3 different lifts in a short amount of time w/o the good bumper plates. Knee is still bothering me. I'm contemplating not doing sectionals if the knee does not heal soon. I'm not sure whether it's really sore because I'm over using it, or because I'm injured. BLEH!
- 5 minutes working on form for squat
- 5 minutes working on HSPU hold. Got the hold down.
- Lite Mr. Joshua: 5RFT: 400 m run, 30 buddha sit ups, 10 deadlifts : 20:24
