Fitness - Met Con - 10/26

My body did not feel so great this morning after a weekend of poor nutrition. I felt sluggish and it took me a while to get going.

We did not have a focus today because we were hitting a long, heavy met-con. Usually when we've done longer met-cons we do exercises that only use our body weight. But today's WOD was heavy, and I'm already feeling it.

WOD: 30 seconds at each station (running clock), 1 minute rest between rounds, 10 rounds (once through each station and rest is one round)

Pull ups
Dumbbell Push press - 50# dumbbells
V-ups
dumbbell lunges (in place, alternating legs) - 50# dumbbells
Kettle bell dead lift - 32 Kg bells

Calories burned (WOD only): 682

It seemed like this one would never end, 35 minutes of work (with 10 of it being rest). I was already tired as hell after round three, it was a grind from then on. I kept track of my reps in my head and tried to match it each round and actually did a decent job.

I'm happy with my effort, after I got a rhythm going I settled into it started to get after it. But again, that didn't happen until about round 4. My glutes and hamstrings should be pretty well wrecked tomorrow, which is always nice.

I hope to get back on the right track with my eating starting today with a 24 hour fast. The two straight days of eating whatever/whenever has taken it's toll. I feel a few pounds heavier, but it was so worth it. And I look forward to pushing myself pretty hard in the gym this week.
