Oh. My. Quads. I just reached tool/douchebag status with that cute little intro. But for real, walking tomorrow may just be a distant dream.
Today was d-day and by that I mean crossfit day. To say I was petrified would be the understatement of the year.
But I fucking LOVED it. Like. I am SO excited to go back. When I finally found it, my GPS took me through the ghetto and down 392 different streets before I found it and realized I've driven by it every single day. We started out stretching, then did a 200 meter run. Outside. In the cold. Uphill. I was the last one finished, but I finished. Which is more than I could have done 6 months ago. We were running at a "conversational pace" which. Conversational for who? Lance Armstrong? Then we came inside and did some skill work. We did dead lifts with really light weight. Then we learned the rower, which I kind of loved. then. Then we started with "thrusters". Thrusters are where you hold the bar (everyone starts with PVC pipe) at your shoulders in front of you. Then you do a squat and come all the way up and push the weight above your head. It's a push and press on steroids. We did those today too. We did like 100 of them for practice, then we did our WOD. 3 rounds of 200 meter row then 10 thrusters. Consider it thrusted. We were partnered up by who was on your left. My partners name was Kelly. One person rowed, then did thrusters, then when they finished both the other person started. Our time was 11:06 total, which wasn't the fastest (I think the fastest was like 7 minutes) but it wasn't the slowest which made me really happy. There were such a wide array of people there and everyone was really nice and supportive. I didn't feel like they were judging me either. Anyways, Then we did some resistance band stretching. My legs are killing me.
KILLING. ME.
After everyone finished the WOD, Ben told us he was gonna be the "angry crossfit coach" and that half squats weren't cutting it. Guess who wasn't doing half squats? This girl :) my squats were "great", funny as they're my least favorite thing to do.
Also. I've been eating 5 meals a day, small ones, and I'm starving to death. It's no bueno. I left crossfit and went to missions gym to shower and I had plans to eat a banana and pb2 after but I was driving and could only eat the banana haha but I devoured that in about 2 seconds. But oddly enough I feel the best I have in a long, long time. I finally feel like all this work is catching up with me. Like I feel better overall and today when I met Jer at Starbucks, she exclaimed "Nessie you're getting so small!" Which makes me happy.
Today was a success. Now I just have to work out a Darin/crossfit/YWCA schedule. #firstworldproblems at their finest. I'm making chicken and trying my hand at making sweet potatoes. I'm considering a 6am spin class tomorrow. But we'll see if I can walk tomorrow.
That's all I have in my bag of tricks for now. and with that, I'm out ✌
