This week was pretty much a blur but full of progress! I can’t believe how fast I’m getting stronger. Last week I was only able to jump rope six times before getting caught in the rope. Today, I did twenty and that was near the END of the workout today, after I’d already been going for almost an hour…AND I hadn’t jumped rope since last week, so it’s not like I’ve been practicing every day.
Progress was also apparent today when I deadlifted 135lbs! Last week…only 65! I couldn’t believe it!
I ran-ished almost 800 meters today (close to 1/2 a mile) and last week I couldn’t do a full 200 meters! WHAT THE WHAT?! I mean seriously! It’s INSANE!
My hands are a huge obstacle for me right now which is quite frustrating. Holding onto things like the rings for pull-ups and even doing burpees (which totally suck anyway) just KILLS my pitifully weak hands. HOWEVER! I can tell that they are getting stronger too, just a little slower than the rest of my body.
What’s crazier than crazy is that I’m starting to feel MUSCLES under my fat. Like REAL, LIVE muscles! Especially in my forearms…weird!
I went to Crossfit four times this week and worked on my swimming technique (which needs help!) on Wednesday….
I also went down to our local watering hole Wednesday night where I ate nachos and drank half a pumpkin beer. It’s seemed like a fine idea at the time but Thursday morning was an entirely different story. After a 400 meter run I felt awful. Just awful. So lesson learned: No mid week beers…or nachos! Unless they’re homemade… without chili and slaw and nacho cheese and salsa and sour cream and mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese and jalapenos and I can’t remember what else. They took the word “loaded” to a whole new level. They were also quite delicious but not worth the Thursday morning payback.
