"When Doves Cry"- Prince


 
 
For whatever reason, really slow 80s and 90s music played at Crossfit, tonight.  I took a long hiatus from Crossfit (and an even longer one from this blog!), but I'm back.  Life got in the way, but I've prioritized, now.  I have been doing Crossfit for about four months now, and the progress has ironically been fast and slow.  I haven't lost a ton of weight, but I am definitely stronger.  I could probably punch you in the face and it would hurt.  My body is getting tighter, and my clothes are a little bit looser.  I fall off the bandwagon fairly frequently nutrition wise, but I always pay the consequences with some heartburn afterward.  I'm so happy to be back, and to have this positive force in my life again.  My life is good, no complaints here.  Crossfit (among other things) makes it better.  And it is one of those forces that makes ALL other aspects of my life, better.  And I have forgotten how nice and encouraging people can be.  In all honesty, I  have probably put off going back to Crossfit because I am still insecure at times.  But, no matter.  The coach (who I've never taken a class with, yet), was awesome.  He actually paid attention to me so that I could get the most beneficial work out in 30 min.  And the other Crossfitters, helping me into bands for pull ups, putting my weights away for me, encouraging me as they pass me in the run...small things that speak large volumes.  Anyways, hopefully I keep up with this thing for the foreseeable future.  Can't wait to become even stronger and fitter!  Tonight's workout wasn't so bad...
 
13 min: 1 mi run/AMRAP wall walks (which I've gotten pretty good at, if I do say so, myself)
2 min rest
15 min: 1 mi run/AMRAP 10 sit ups and 5 pull ups (banded for scale)
