Felt good. Was off a week due to Garrett's dad having a stroke and Garrett going home. He is a marathoner and his walking is severely impaired. He has decided to go to inpatient physical therapy to hopefully run again. If he can overcome this, then I can get out of bed and get my butt to the box. I'm making strides. I'm stronger, have more endurance, and I feel good.

Here's to a serious month of Crossfit and Paleo.

Baseline again...

Crossfit did baseline again this morning.

500 M row

It feels good to make progress. I'm stronger and more fit and it feels good...

LOVE it...

I miss my Boot Camp buddies, but this 5:15 am Crossfit group is fun. They have fun, they are fit, and they work their hineys off.

It feels good. So very good. I am strong. I'm gaining endurance an I feel like I can conquer the world after a workout. It feels good to push my body every morning and it feels good to know my body craves it and ways it. I deprived myself of physical activity for far too long.

Crossfit

Crossfit is changing my life. Period.

I'm proud of who I am when I work out. I'm proud of what I get accomplished while my family sleeps. During the day, I get no time for me. Someone always needs something or something always needs to be done. But while they sleep, I get up, work my butt off and it feels good.

Why did it take so long for this to connect for me?

Moved on over...

So today was my first day at Crossfit. I was nervous. I've seen pictures of the (mostly) ladies who go to the 5:15 am class and they are fit and in shape. I wasn't looking forward to being the new girl again.

Everyone was nice. Very friendly and you can tell they all get along really well. So for that, I'm excited.

The WOD? Well, as soon as it was posted to the board I knew I wouldn't be able to do what everyone did.

Run 800 m
Finish with pullups
For 6 minutes
3 rounds

Seeing as how it takes me 14:56 to run a mile I wondered if I'd even get all the laps in. So my goal? Make all the laps and who cares about the pullups.

And I did it. Aaaaaand I didn't come in last. There were two others who got zero pullups on all their rounds too!!!

So I did it. And I will do it again tomorrow. And one day, I'll be one of those fit girls too.

Oh and by the way.... I weighed. I finally let myself go there.

Minus 16. Was pretty happy that day too.
