Day#347: CrossFit Week1 Completed

Well I did it folks! I successfully completed the first week of CrossFit! I totally did, I've amazed even in myself. I've worked out every single day this week. Take that, you stupid weight loss slump! HA!

75 Days till WDW2.0 - That's 1/4 of the way! WOOT!

So, Took my "Before" Picture for the 6 week CrossFit Challenge. Here I am in all my plushy glory!



It'll be cool to see the changes in just 6 weeks. Feeling excited and hopeful. I can already tell that my legs are going to be rock solid! SO MUCH SQUATTING! (sobs in the corner)... so much...

So Recap!?

Wednesday:
CrossFit with coach Beau (he's so freaking intense!) We did a lot of varied things. But the worst was the squatting wall ball tosses... Ouch. These were brutal, had to toss a ball at the wall to a target, and then as the ball comes down, catch it in a squat. Each movement flowing into the next squat. So hard!

We also did: burpies, planks, single arm overhead press, deadlift bar raises (I think that's what they are called), Box jumps, and rows and sit ups.

Thursday:
Personal Trainer Day with Kylee. Realized why I've been emotional and why Tuesday was just that much harder when I discovered my monthly visitor had stopped by... Golly it's great to be a girl! So Thursday we did a work out: Planks, Squats, Single leg deadlifts, pushups, anti rotations, and TRX Rows. It wasn't super intense but IT FELT IT... my legs were still so sore from those Wall-Ball-Squats-of-Death.

She didn't ask about the follow up questions from last time... but I'm kind of okay with that. I now have an answer to give her... And I'll discuss it with her next week.

Then did 45 Minutes of walking.

Friday:
TGoodnessIF Peeps! I need a weekend to just bring things down a notch from this loaded and stressful week. CrossFit Day today, marking the last workout of the week since I've started HOLLA! Oh yeah, I'm so jazzed. One Week down like a BOSS!

Today with did some Olympic lifting... Yeah! (exactly what you're thinking!) Overhead Snap Raises.
This is the video that the Coach Mandy, posted to get us "Pumped". (It only managed to get me anxious to be honest.)

So Yeah... I did that but with wimpy weight! (50lbs) ;) Got to get technique down so that when we start adding weight I don't hurt myself. And I need all the practice I can get :)

We also did Rows, Burpies, Box Jumps, Bear Crawls (But I couldn't do these correctly yet, they really hurt my knees bad!) So... Lunges for me, and Goblet Squats.

I'll tell you what, CrossFit is no joke! But golly I'm so excited that I'm doing something challenging! If only to just push myself to see what I can do. :) As my coworker said today when I told him about my new CrossFit Challenge... "You're so close to getting all your "Stuff" together." Ha! Hows that for support? Golly I hope so! ;)

Good to know I've got a couple friends at work still who cheer me on and support me. After all - When you hit rock bottom, only one way to go, and that's up! Happy weekend everyone!
