While I am ecstatic to be having a baby, the amount of stress that I have been under both at home and at work with just the amount and then the traveling really is making me just fucking miserable. <\/p>\n<p>I got my body fat assessment done again tonight and it was back up to what it was in July when I got back from my honeymoon (22.4%). What was weird was that there was a 6mm increase in one of the measurements. We are going to do it again tomorrow morning just to be sure. <\/p>\n<p>I am not quite sure as to what has been happening. I have been continuing eating as normal, but in the past few months, I&#8217;ve seen the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>inordinate amount of stress (read: cortisol)<\/li>\n<li>excessive work travel (read: not idea food, but still as best I can also, not as much working out)<\/li>\n<li>most likely not enough protein in my diet<\/li>\n<li>not sleeping well. I can&#8217;t think of many nights that I got good, complete night of sleep. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This month, I want to focus on getting enough protein and finding a better way to deal with my stress. What I&#8217;m doing right now&#8230; it&#8217;s not working. <\/p>\n<p>On to the workouts. <\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Monday 8\/30\/2010  &#8211;  At home<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I, for some reason, wanted to do something with my kettle bell at home. I decided to do a &#8220;Helen&#8221;-like workout. It was 3 rounds of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>400m run<\/li>\n<li>21 one-handed kb swings (21 each arm, 12kg)<\/li>\n<li>12 burpees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I clocked in at just under 16 minutes at 15:59. I didn&#8217;t feel great during this one, but I did it. Eh. <\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Wednesday 9\/1\/2010  &#8211;  CFCP<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I thought this one looked fun and would give me a chance to work on double-unders, the bane of my CrossFit existence. It was 4 rounds of: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 ring push ups<\/li>\n<li>25 double unders<\/li>\n<li>Red Stripe Run (200m)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I got the worst time of the day with 13:15, completely due to my inability to double under. They still make me really fucking mad, but I am working hard to not get frustrated with them. Trevor tried to help me out a bit after class, and really, I just need to practice. <\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Friday 9\/3\/2010  &#8211;  CFCP<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heavy metal night&#8230; we did snatches, 6&#215;3. I started with 95#, the 135#, then 155#. I felt really tired an sluggish. I was falling asleep at my desk around 4pm, so I wasn&#8217;t feeling stellar to begin with. Once I got the body fat assessment done, I was just really discouraged for the rest of the night&#8230; and still am. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These past few weeks have been rough to say the least.
