You crack me up wambam. I'm an evil eye giver. I also complain a lot but everyone knows I don't really mean it. I mean I do but do't at the same time.
I just can't handle people yelling at me. Even if they're being encouraging it just makes me mad and then cry lol. #realmitch usually takes the brunt of it but today another dude said a little too much

I definitely can handle the yelling. It motivates me more actually. I went through bootcamp (not lilke the exercise program, real bootcamp) so I had to have thick skin. The structure and people yelling at me or encouraging me is what keeps me going back. If they aren't yelling and push you, does it bother you still?

If it's all "good job Wambam! You're doing great" that's fine. But if they tell me what to do like "sets of 5. Don't put it down!" I get mad and then weepy.

Badass! Am I right in thinking you're no longer military?
Also, most people who know me at the gym luckily know when I am not in the mood for being spoken to. Usually yelling motivates me - either just in a positive way or in a "fuck you, I'll show you" way - but when I'm suuuuper frustrated I get to a point where the best plan for everyone involved is just to leave me alone to suffer in my corner.
PS. wambam congrats on finishing! Enjoy your rice/ice cream/Nuun. That looks like one of those WODs that reads as relatively ok for each part (well, the KBS would be heavy for me), but the movements combine to just kill every part of your body.

It was one of the worst I've ever done, for real. I'm so glad it's over!

I made it through last night'so WOD. I coughed some but otherwise was fine. I modified box jumps and did step ups. I tried box jumps but it was too much for me. Then we did walking goblet lunges and I went with a lighter weight for that as well. The snatch ended up being at 55# for me as well. Today I'm still stuffy and runny but I'm glad I worked out.
Today is rest and tomorrow is CF in the morning and then a Chiro adjustment and massage. Two weeks ago I was stuffed up during my massage and it was distracting. Looks like it'll be the same tomorrow.

I'm planning my grand return to training today with a great 20 min AMRAP of goblet squats and hollow rocks and airdyne, because everything else hurts my damn arm! But I need to move. I eat worse and sleep worse when I'm not exercising. The WOD is supposed to be a 20 min AMRAP of 10 Squat snatches (65#), 10 ring dips and 10 knees to elbows.
I dropped off the kid at daycare and hit the gym early. I am still not 100% and modified the weight on some things but it was a good WOD overall even with my lower weights. I finished the KB swings by the time the 12 mins were over. I took quite a bit of rests since I really couldn't power through right now.
STRENGTH: Hang Snatch
WOD: 12 Min cap: 100 D/Us 50 WB (20/14) 40 Sit-ups 30 KBS (1.5/1) 20 DB Snatch (50/30) 10 HSPU

I got second in a "competition" yesterday despite still being a bit sick! Haha, it was so informal, which was the only reason I decided to go for fun despite not being 100%. My coach has a friend who's a college prof for PE teachers (I am realizing as I type that this isn't really a thing in the US, but here it's a normal degree to study), and he has a course that's kind of functional fitness and CF-y. He organized a comp for his class and invited some other people, including asking my coach to lend equipment and bring people from the box who actually do CF to kind of show what it's all about. Tons of people he'd invited flaked, so it ended up being 3 women: me, the best girl from my box, and a girl in the class who's in her first year, has never done CF outside this class, and had never competed. Shockingly enough, best girl took 1st, I got 2nd, and rookie got 3rd. It was random but fun.
The WODs were
WOD 1: 30 rowing strokes above 800 cal/hr men/700 cal/hr women Run to a giant tire, tire flips down a neverending field (same distance men/women, this was by far the hardest part of the day and the reason for my arm/back soreness today) 50 jumps into/out of the tire Tire flips back down the field 30 rowing strokes 800/700
WOD 2: 30 ttb men/20 knees to chest women (the other woman couldn't do ttb, bless her, hence the modification) 30 m (?) sprint with a parachute (supposedly this slows you down, but I don't think we went fast enough/long enough to notice, haha) 30 m (?) run with 2 20 kg sandbags 30 kb snatch 16 kg men/20 kb snatch 12 kg women ...and back again
Fun little day out, and I got a certificate of participation stamped by the university!
