Catching up - on workouts and eating apparently

Monday's WOD:
"Helen"- 3 rounds of
1/4 mile sprint
21 kb swings 35#
12 pull-ups
My time? 18:04
The last time I did this workout was March! My time was just under 11 minutes, so it appears I did worse this time around but that's not actually true. In March, I used a 26# kettlebell, whereas today I used a 35# dumbbell and way back then, I did assisted pull-ups (level 13 nonetheless) whereas yesterday I did them on my own!
My torn up hands are proof!
I will always and forever love "Helen" because it was the first CrossFit workout I ever did and the one where I repeatedly almost barf.
Tuesday's WOD:
sort of a hodge podge of everything:
25 lunges
20 pull-ups (level 10 assisted b/c of my hands- see above)
50 box jumps
20 double unders w/ jump rope
25 dips (assisted machine level 10)
20 captain's chair
30 kb swings 35#
30 sit-ups
20 hang squat cleans 45#
25 back extensions
30 wallballs (11#)
When I started, I tried doing the pull-ups normal, but my hands were hurting too bad. It was only 20 pull-ups, but still, I couldn't get myself to hold onto that bar. I did assisted instead on level 10-- the bar on the assisted machine is cushioned so it's softer on the hands.
My time? 29:07
You guys see those "20 double under w/ jump rope" up there? Guess how long those 20 double unders took? 6 minutes!!! That's not good! Not good at all...but this is the first workout where I actually did double unders and not some substitution for them, so that's an improvement. I'm glad I got through all 20 even if it took me FOR-EV-ER.
On a semi-related note, this chick has been eating like I've never tasted food before. It's really quite sad. Every day last week, I ate ice cream. Did you read that? There was not one day last week where ice cream did not go into my belly. What the hell? Yesterday, I was sitting at my desk in the afternoon and decided I wanted a snack out of the vending machine. Again, what the hell? I never do that! (I also never have cash on me and now I do- see $10/week post from before for details)...
So, I go to the vending machine and get out a bag of ActII butter popcorn! WTF? So stupid.
I need to reign these cravings in a little bit... maybe I'm pregnant.
NOT! Just kidding! I'm not pregnant...
Until tomorrow,

Don't give yourself a hard time over the snacks... you'll only frustrate yourself if you say no to every craving. Maybe ice cream every day is a bit too generous, but I wouldn't beat myself up over popcorn. Of all the vending machine choices, that was probably one of the better options.
