1200M Run 
45 Hang Cleans (40k)
30 Front Squat (40k)
800M Run
45 Front Squat (40k)

30 Hang Clean (40k)
200M Run

34:37 min

This WOD was so brutal I am shocked that I completed it. 40 k is really heavy for me and if it wasn't for my partner that was whipping through the hang cleans and push presses, I would have FAILED. YEP. Not ashamed to admit it! I was really good at front squats but the weight was so heavy. I think that my PUSH PRESS PR IS 45K so to do 40K in a WOD was tough. I'm glad I finished it and it was a real ass kick. 

Sometimes I think that all crossfitters must LOVE S&M since they love workouts that beat the shit out of them lol....but hey, if it means you become a fit iron kitty like this..then it sure is worth the pain and bruises!!

So many girls are afraid to try Crossfit because they're afraid they'll be "bulky" or "manly". Does this girl fall into any of those categories??! NOPE.

OFFICIALLY mastered double unders!!!!

JULY 5 WOD


25 min, 12 sets of 5 squats (60K)..tiring!!
100 sit-ups
3 sets of 500 m rows for time ( 1st: 2:09 2nd: 2:20 3rd: 2:15)


JULY 6 WOD


A. Front Squat 3-3-3 
- 4 sets of 3 (65k) It was heavy but it wasn't hard. I felt like I could've done 70k but I wouldn't have been able to do that many sets with it. I back squatted a lot the day before so my legs needed a bit of a break. 


B. 3 Rounds for Time: 18:54min
    30m Over Head Walking Lunge (20k)
    15 T2B
    30 DU

THAT WOD WAS EXHAUSTING!! Lunges weren't that bad but combined with double-unders (which I barely knew how to do in the beginning of the wod) and T2B, I felt like I was going really slow.

The highlight of the WOD was finally learning how to do double unders!!!! I've been trying for months and I always kick back or don't jump fast enough! 

During the first round of the wod, I was struggling so much with double unders that it wasted a good 4 minutes-.- Another cross fitter was at the gym and gave me advice that my boyfriend has been giving me for months. "Jump straight up and keep your hands forward." I did just that and started getting 10-15 double unders in a row! I have never been able to get more than 5 in a row and that's after many exhausting attempts! I don't know why I didn't listen to my boyfriend the first 100 times but I guess I needed to hear it from someone else lol 

I am so excited about my new accomplishment and can't wait to get better at DU's. I sound like a cross fit nerd. I'm going to start doing 100 du's for time and post it daily:)

The road to successful double unders..Ouch!!

Food and Crossfit

The main reason I want to eat healthier is to be more successful in the wods and be stronger! I feel like everyone needs a reason to do something and without one, there is no motivation, no will power, no OOMF...yes OOMF. People need a goal and if my goal is to complete that hoe 'Fran' without a band, ya damn right I'll have two shakes a day and cut out sleepy carbs and head rush treats!
         I talk a lot of shit about Paleo but I love it. I always have a lot of energy and never feel bloated. I can be completely full and satisfied and not feel like DEATH afterwards. Why am I such a shit talker then??? Maybe it's the devil on my shoulder saying, "Fuck everyone! Eat that burger/cake/fries and just work out after!" ...Yet, every time I've done that, I feel like a slaughtered pig. Just deadly! In order to do well and improve in my training, I HAVE to eat well! There is no other choice! Unless I want to feel dizzy, gross and miserable afterwards. I sound so annoying but it's true.
Eating healthier doesn't mean I'm trying to lose weight, it mean's I'm trying to eat healthier.

O geez!!! I feel like I'm getting better at the wods but they never get easier..which is why they're great. I would like to finish a wod and say, "Wow, that was refreshing."...But I guess it'll never feel like a hot yoga class. o.O

Camille Leblanc-Bazinet-Crossfitter

I am excited about my new deadlift PR because it was 100k only 3 months ago. That means I added 22 more pounds since my last deadlift! That's wild! I love that working out has become a fun game in the sense that I'm always aiming to beat my old 'score' and get a shorter time in a workout.
I used to go to the gym, run on the treadmill and have an image of a skinny broad in my mind, thinking 'ABS LIKE THAT...'. lol I must have issues.
Now, all I want to do is lift heavier, learn every possible skill in crossfit and do great. I obviously still want to have a ...purrrfect bod but it's not my MAIN concern anymore. It's a concern, but not a MAIN one. lol


ALRIGHT, I JUST LOVE WHAT CROSSFIT IS DOING TO MY BODY AND I CAN'T IMAGINE THE RESULTS I WILL SEE IN 3 MORE MONTHS..OR 6..OR A YEAR!!! There, I feel better. >>> My first vanity insanity rant on this blog and it probably won't be the last. <<<

My Better Half

Isaac! Oh my Isaac! He's the man for me! I must be the girl for him, too since he was given the option to back out a month before the wedding and didn't take it! :) 

I just want to spend this blog post letting you get to know him better! :)

He made me the happiest girl when he married me May 21, 2010!

He's got his grandpa's farm truck that he restored. He loves the truck more than me...just kidding...sort of ;)

He forgives: 

Like when accidents happen and he leans over when I go to reach for something and my diamond on my ring catches his forehead. Don't get too jealous ladies it's not THAT big! :)~

Or when I mess up haircuts: (i can't find the one of where I almost scalped him) :)

He's sweet:

He loves our dogs more than he's willing to admit:

And above all he's goofy with me and puts up with me:

I love this man o' mine! He's everything I ever wanted and is a strong Christian man that prays for us and others! He's so hard working and takes care of his little family better than most grown men would! 

One month, One minute-ish

MAY 26 WOD - 16K  kettle bell swings, V-ups. 25-20-15-10-5 >> 5:44min

JUNE 30 WOD - 16K kettle bell swings over head, V-ups, 25-20-15-10-5 >> 4:50min

Yes! My time is improving and it's only been a month! I felt like I was going as fast as I could and I didn't take any breaks throughout my sets. I need to work on kettle bell swings and keeping a steady pace throughout the workout. I am glad that my time was still a lot shorter than last time, especially since I did overhead for the most recent one. 

I started writing down my workout's and PR'S about 3 months ago and I've slowly started comparisons to see my improvements. I am excited to see the changes that have happened in 3 months of doing crossfit 5 x a week.
