Friday | June 1, 2012

Guess what! A decision has been made... Cory and I are officially signed up for CrossFit! Crossing fingers for some major progress and noticeable results by the end of summer. :) Today was our first intro training session. We started out learning proper form for things like squats and deadlifts. After our learning session, we did the WOD..

1/2 Cindy (10 minutes)

AMRAP (as many rounds as possible)

5 pull-ups

10 push-ups

15 squats

Final: 8+3 push-ups (8 rounds, plus 5 pull-ups and 3 push-ups)

My arms were shaking uncontrollably by the end, however I rocked the squats and flew through them without a problem. The rest of the day and the day after, my arms felt like they weighed 85 pounds each, making it difficult to hold my arms up to do things like blow my nose or put on make-up! 

Dinner: Tonight we had family over to grill. Can't get enough of the grilling and it's only the beginning of June. Love it! 

Saturday+Sunday | June 2-3, 2012

Shame on me, I did not get in any workouts all weekend. A few different friends stopped by on Saturday afternoon and when I had some alone time, I just didn't feel like working out. Instead, I worked on some client photos, did a blog post, and read. On Sunday we had our niece and nephew's piano recital in the afternoon and the rest of the day consisted of relaxing with cousins, dinner and ice cream.

Week's Totals:

Run+Walk | 16.6 miles | 3 hours, 42 minutes

This week we have two more CrossFit training sessions before heading to Colorado to visit a dear friend. I hope to get in a couple walks/runs before leaving and some good mountain hikes while we are there!
