Snatch it

Olympic Lifting:
Snatch peak of 1 (99#) New PR; this lift is the bane of my existence! I've been stuck at the doorstep of 100# for sooooo freaking long and I just want to move past the 90's already!
Jerk peak of 1 (151#)

Open Skills class:
Dynamic warmup
2 rounds:
10 cat camels
5 forward rolls
10 scap push ups
10 lat pull downs
5 handstand walk ups
arm circles

Skill #1: Rope Climbs  
I got my first rope climb today! Somehow I've missed the days that we worked on rope climbs in class so I was pretty stoked to have gotten it my first time up. I only had one in me today but I'll take it!

Skill #2: Handstand walking
We did quite a bit of skill work and I managed to get a few steps (well...is it 'hands'?) during the metcon. I'm still not very comfortable being upside down without the wall, but near the end I was getting closer and closer to being upright...upside down. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

Metcon:
10 AMRAP (3+1)
15' handstand walk
5 push ups
15'  handstand walk
10 hallow rocks
This was soooo tough! I really wanted to scale the handstand walks but Sam encouraged me to do it RX. She said that I needed to get out of my head and just do it no matter how slow, the important thing was to just try to get comfortable being upside down. I'm glad I did it, my shoulders on the other hand were on FIRE! I can't wait to get to the point where I am comfortable with these gymnastics movements.

Meal #1:
2 egg whites/1 whole egg
1 cup broccoli
black pepper
I was out of broccoli and ended up stealing some of Wes' green juice (lots of spinach, and a pear) to get my veggie fix

Meal #2/post workout:
1 scoop aminos
10 almonds

Meal #3:
1 scoop SFH whey
1med banana
A late start to the day and a busy schedule caused me to 'miss' a full meal. By the time I realized I was late to eat, it was too close to dinner to eat an entire meal.
 
Meal #4:
about 5oz salmon
kale salad
about 1/2 cup cubed sweet potato
Went to True Food Kitchen with my mom for her birthday and admittedly, I had a couple bites for her flourless chocolate cake...ugh, it was so damn good! 

Meal #5:
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
