Tonight I worked at a Ducks Unlimited banquet at my uncle-in-law's restaurant so was on my feet selling tickets to a bunch of men, who will drop hundreds of dollars on stuff I wouldn't spend $5 on, from 4:00-9:30p. That was considered my workout of the day. :)

Not sure what happened, but I did not get a proper workout in either of these days.. Boo.

CrossFit Woodbury. My first time. My neighbor, Michelle, has been trying to convince me to go now for about a month and this Saturday I had no excuses. As nervous as I was that I was going to fail miserably, she assured me not to worry and that people don't judge. CrossFit is all about doing what you can do and not worrying about what others are doing, and everyone is super encouraging and welcoming. We started with a quick warm-up.. arm circles, stretches, high knees, butt kicks, bear crawl across the gym and back (this is when I started to get warm!), and six sprints across the gym and back.
Then the WOD (workout of the day):
10 pull-ups (modified version if need be. and yes, it was needed.)
20 push-ups (on my knees, yes.)
10 jumping squats (no modifications here!)
20 sit-ups (here either)
12 minutes | as many rounds as you can do
I did, as it's described in CrossFit, 3 rounds + 2 sit-ups. Which means, I did 4 rounds of everything except only 2 push-ups in that 4th round. (make sense?) I surprisingly was not left in everyone's dust and kept up pretty well!
After the WOD, I definitely was feeling a little light-headed and just off. Having conversation was somewhat difficult. And on the drive home, I embarrassingly had to ask Michelle to pull over because I was pretty sure I might puke. Although, I didn't until I got home. Yes, I puked. I like to think it wasn't only because of the workout, but because the water in my water bottle had a funky taste that messed with my mind+stomach and I had a couple drinks the night before(?).
Needless to say, I was one sore woman yesterday!! It hurts so good. :) Still a little sore today but at least I can walk like a normal human being again.
I really do want to go back to CrossFit and become a member, however I'm weighing my options. I also really want a CorePower Yoga membership and unfortunately, I don't have hundreds of dollars to throw at gyms just to workout ever month. Neither membership is cheap so I need to decide which is a better fit for my life right now...

Does doing figure eights around the kitchen island and living room coffee table 50 times count as a workout? I was so full from spaghetti dinner, I had to move. I knew I should have just gone on a quick walk around the neighborhood but we didn't get home until nearly 10p so I just didn't feel like it. I had no idea how full I was until I finished eating. Big mistake. I hate when that happens!!
Today's the start of a new week! And you know it's going to be a good week when you wake up to this next to your pillow... :)
