22.3 done and goodbye to this years Open 👋🏼
Certainly not my best performance but also not my worst. Areas of improvement mentally for sure, but physically I’m ready for some work - the fire is burning to make some improvements again 🔥
Thoughts on the Open as a whole this year…..definitely not my favourite. I found the workouts very similar to last years format - wall walks on week 1, gymnastics and thrusters on week 3 - groundbreaking 🙄 I quite enjoyed the second workout but I really missed the inclusion of any Olympic lifts - heavy or light cycling. I found it mostly too inclusive.
The open is still a good measure of how you progress each year and the fittest still stand out clearly, I’m interested to see what’s in store for them next.

It’s been a while just a few reminders:
🔥 Exercise to be strong, not smaller
📈 Fitness is not linear, it has it’s ups and downs like everything in life!
🏋🏻‍♀️ CrossFit is for EVERYONE! Me, you and your elderly parents.
🥖 Carbs are not bad. They provide you with energy to, you know, function!
🥗 Clean eating is bullsh*t. Even if you eat the “cleanest” food you can, if you eat more calories than you use in a day you’ll still put on weight.
🧈 If you add butter to your morning coffee, you are not fasting.

How I’m feeling in iso watching everyone do their fitness 😶
So. Little update from my last post - turns out I did actually have Corona 🦠 and that little workout I last posted didn’t do me so well after all! So I’ve been in isolation at home for a week (officially) now and can’t wait to get out at the weekend. I’m finally better now too, took a while for my chest to clear but it did eventually 👌🏼
I honestly feel like it’s been so long since I trained or exercised and I can’t wait to get back now!
New year doesn’t really start till February anyway 😉

How it usually goes with the Assault bike cals 🤨 - am I right or am I right?

⚠️TW - disordered eating ⚠️
Can we talk about the people who want to gain weight for a minute?
There’s always a lot of focus on losing weight to be healthier, but gaining weight to be healthier is also a valid and common goal for many.
There’s many reasons for wanting to gain weight - post illness, ED recovery or just because you like that aesthetic.
I personally am very slim and have very little muscle mass/body fat from genetics. I prefer to look athletic and strong - they do not equal “manly or butch” before the comments begin 😂 I find it hard to maintain this though.
I have to eat 2500+ cals a day to build muscle and support my energy/recovery for my training.
Some ways I do this are;
1. Tracking my food. I hate tracking food to be honest, I used to be a bit obsessive with it when I was younger and this led to some disordered eating. However, I can now track for a week every so often and it gives me a good idea of my cals and protein intake. I try to aim for 2g protein per kg of body weight (I weigh 64kg so I aim for 125-130g protein)
2. I make a packed smoothie. Smoothies are great for hiding calories! I can add protein, fruit, nuts, seeds, honey, peanut butter, dates and blend it all up. One drink can have around 1000cals in it and that’s almost half my daily cals just in one cup 👍🏼
3. Focus on the quality of food as well as the quantity. Yes it’s ok if I want to eat more cals but I also notice if I eat less nutritionally dense foods too often, firstly I’ll feel lethargic and yuk, but also I don’t see improvements in my strength or size. (Also worth noting these are not the same thing) takeaways are part of our week for sure, but the priority comes in home cooked meals and variety of nutrients.
