Day 12 Crossfit
This picture explains how I felt after I left the gym yesterday. I was POOPED! Holy moly, the workout kicked my butt….(not hard enough to take away my stupid butt muscle twitch though). I had my inhaler so things were good in that department, but my muscles were shot by the end. My legs were shaking so bad on the last two reps I couldn't believe it!
Here's what we did:
As Many Reps Possible in 20 min
5 Burpees
10 Knees Touch Elbows (KTE)
15 Box Jumps
That was it. I ended up doing 9 reps and Dave ended with 10. That means I did 45 burpees, 90 KTE's, and 135 box jumps in 20 minutes. That is a lot of stuff. I think it was harder for me to do the box jumps because I am much shorter than Dave, and his legs are much bouncier! It looked like he was jumping on a trampoline when he did his….it was kinda funny!
We did a 5 minute warm up running at 5.0, so with the warm up the workout was 25 minutes. We stretched for another 10 minutes and then went home. We opted out on ABS since we had each done almost 100 KTE"s. I'm just waiting for my stomach to start hurting today…it is usually a delayed reaction with my stomach muscles.
I'm not sure what we are doing about Today's workout. We are headed to SLC right after work and I don't know if we are going to be able to fit it in. We might have to skip today…..(GASP). In the past this would have ruined my day. I would have felt really guilty and probably ate unhealthy…I'm so glad this is not the case anymore. It is not the end of the world if I skip today to spend quality time with my husband. What is more important, obsessing about exercise and letting it interfere with life and relationships so that I can one day look perfect…or is it better to be realistic and remember that life is not about how we look, but who we are and what we do? DUH!
I'm so thankful for what I've learned and where I've come from. If I hadn't experienced the bad, I would never be able to appreciate little things like I do now. I am so thankful for so many things! I appreciate life and want more than anything to live it to the fullest! I am so thankful for all of you who have committed to participating in Project Feed Me.

I read this post just in time. I spent all day studying, didn't clean the house or workout like I wanted to and was just now on the verge of gobbling up a bunch of mini candy bars. Then I stopped here and read this and you are right…not working out one day or letting the house stay messy one more day is not a reason to stuff my face!!!!!
Thanks lady

for crossfit: are you following a specific program? it seems like you are, especially with the "day x" on the posts…it really seems like a great workout with not a huge time commitment.
and i love your positive attitude about being able to skip days and whatnot. thanks for the constant reminder that it is OKAY to do that, sometimes i think many ppl (myself totally included) forget that
