3/8 Whole Life Wednesday

Kettelbell swings make Sarah Aciego and Red Feather's ponytails fly! 
It's Whole Life Wednesday, and this week's lifestyle practice is to keep a journal. The instructions are simple:

1. Sit down for 10 minutes each day and write in a handwritten journal.
2. Use any kind of journaling you like. Choose something that suits your needs and personal style. Some examples are a diary-type reflective journal, stream-of-consciousness, “free form” writing, or Artist’s Way morning pages.
3. You can also use any of the journal cues provided below.
4. Don’t worry about the content. This is not art. It doesn’t even have to be legible or considered “writing.”
5. All of your thoughts are fair game — don’t censor yourself.

The WLC folks think this is an important lifestyle practice because:

"Writing for ourselves isn’t something most of us do. We write for work or to be understood, but rarely to help us contextualize and process our day-to-day lives.

This week we’ll change that, expressing our thoughts on paper in an effort to experience the relief and personal growth that comes from the physical act of writing."

Today's Workout 
5 rounds for time of:
7 Squat Cleans 155/105# 
14 Kettlebell Swings 1.5/1 pood
Today's workout is a BTWB Heavy Fitness Level workout. The reps are low, so this is a great opportunity to get heavy. We recently tested our max effort clean on Feb 22 and Jan 28. Use this effort as a guide for your weight today. If the Rx weight is too heavy for you today, scale to 65-70% of your max effort clean. You can power clean the weight and front squat it if you're not, yet, able to receive the clean in a squat. Good luck!
