Took a break from Crossfit workouts on Oct 22 (Thurs) and went for yin yoga in the morning instead. Ironically, that afternoon I caught the flu bug. It got worse the following day (Fri) so I decided to take a break from working out for the whole weekend to recuperate. All my grand plans of going for a climb and doing Crossfit skill practise were dashed by the flu. Meh -_____-”

Anyway, managed to sleep early last night. I think I headed to bed before midnight and being so used to sleeping 4 – 5 hours, I automatically woke up at 4.30am. Faildotcomdotmy. Forced myself to continue sleeping and woke up around 7am. Thanks to the Clarinese, my nose wasn’t blocked anymore so I decided to head to Pushmore for a (so-called) light and easy workout. Was tempted by Fran when I got there. Big mistake 0.o

Breakfast 0730 / 1100 – Green apple (pre workout), a scoop of protein (post workout), 100 Plus and a bowl of cereal with soy milk 
Lunch 1430 – Steamed chicken with half a bowl of rice and a small bottle of soy milk. Soy latte, double shots thereafter.
Dinner 2000 – Chicken teriyaki sandwich from Subway (half foot)

Holy shieeeeetttttt! I took nearly half an hour to do this workout. That’s more than double my previous time. I think the main difference from previous time was an additional 10kg and also the fact that I just recovered from the flu. I was also using too much of my upper body throughout the thrusters and Eddie said this was akin to doing both the squats and a press which = double whammy >.< By the end of the first round, I decided to take my time and just focus on form cos I was already feeling the strain on my shoulders during thrusters. Oh so faildotcomdotmy.

After resting for 30 minutes, I did this workout for I’ve been wanting to do it since last week. Well, initially I had thought nahhhh, but the barbells were calling my name. Serioussssss. It’s a fun workout and definitely something I would attempt again once I’ve recovered 100%.
