I felt really tired this week like my energy has just been sucked out of me.<\/p>\n<p>We (my company) recently moved all of our equipment into the new datacenter, so Jose, Anar, and myself have been spending a lot of time there to work on the servers and configure them. Hopefully, soon, we won&#8217;t have to go back there so much. I think being in that windowless, loud server room all day zaps my energy. <\/p>\n<p>We are still waiting on little Baby G to make his\/her appearance. I don&#8217;t know who wants it out more, me or her, but it would be an understatement that we are ready to not be a pregnant couple anymore. <\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Monday, 4\/11\/2011<\/u><\/strong>: Skipped.

I felt like it was a good day to face one of my fears, the 24&#8243; box jump. The WOD was:<\/p>\n<p>5 rounds: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>15 box jumps\n<li>7 push jerk @ 155#\n<li>Rest 2 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have to say that I debated using 155#, but it turned out OK. I ended up getting faster on each round. My first round was the slowest b\/c I messed up cleaning the weight, had to drop, then re-clean. After that round, though, I did all of the push jerks unbroken. The best part of it all is that now I can cycle my 24&#8243; box jumps without fear! Added bonus, I beat the lunch class =) <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.familyofgoldsteins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/boxjumppushjerk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"boxjumppushjerk\" border=\"0\" alt=\"boxjumppushjerk\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.familyofgoldsteins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/boxjumppushjerk_thumb.jpg\" width=\"644\" height=\"374\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Thursday, 4\/14\/2011:<\/u><\/strong> Had to go grocery shopping.

Yay. <\/p>\n<p>10 minute &#8220;AMRAP&#8221; (LOL, are you fucking kidding?!)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>60 bar facing burpees (have to jump over the bar after each burpee)\n<li>30 overhead squats @ 120#\n<li>10 muscle ups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I took the burpees at a moderate pace so as not to gas myself out. I knew wasn&#8217;t going to get to the muscle ups, so I just tried to get as much done as I could. I ended up with 84 reps total. If I could do it again, I would focus more on squat snatching the weight after I dropped. Still though, I am happy with this. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.familyofgoldsteins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/11.4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"11.4\" border=\"0\" alt=\"11.4\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.familyofgoldsteins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/11.4_thumb.jpg\" width=\"411\" height=\"484\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I spent the rest of the day working on things that needed to get done around the house.
