14 weeks and nothing to wear.

While checking the closet to see what to wear to work tomorrow, it occurred to me how my life has changed in just 14 weeks since I started CrossFit. Half my clothes are now workout things! And the other half mostly dont' fit me anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm lovin it. 30 has come and gone, and so has 40, but I sure don't feel any older than 40. Wow am I making a TV commercial for CrossFit??

Tonight I'm tired! But it's that good tired feeling. the WOD was weight lifting and I find I reallylike it. It gives me an intense w/o with the least amount of wear and tear on my poor body. Tonight Coach Bryan was spotting me doing back squats lifting 35 lb six times/ rest two min. / then do it again for six rounds (or was it three and only felt like six?!) While observing he gave good feedback and it's funny how once I got the mechanics of the move, it was easier to understand his instuctions. It was a fun workout and everybody was in a good mood. Meridith lifted 165 lb. tonight, which is amazing cause she probably only weighs 125 lb herself!. Her mom-in-law is my age and joined the Costa Mesa box last year. This Sat. there's no w/out so I'm going to UCI for X-F Regionals. It will be much more interesting now since I know some of the competitors and exercises. Apparently this meet is much more serious than the NLP Invitational in April was. Good luck to my favorite East Decatur X-F'er, Lauren. It will be so fun if East Decatur places and Lauren comes to the Home Depot Center for the Nationals in August. I'll be there cheering for her.

Oh yeah! I am now officially doing pushups with my legs extended (no more knee p/ups). They really hard so I guess the pay off in fitness is pretty good. I can do 15, then I have to lay on the floor and think about breathing. LOL. Another first for me...the w/o called for a one mile run so I rowed 1500 m with one stop for 2 min at 715. I'm feeling proud. When I return from my PSI seminar in two weeks I'm going to start running and see how the knee holds up.

Bedtime again! Good night and sweet dreams, l-m.
