Crossfit Day 9!

Our membership at our Crossfit gym (yes, I know everyone calls it a box…it just sounds weird to me not to say gym) is only for 2 days since we’re just starting, so today we’re (some of us) pumping it up to 3 days a week, adding in a Saturday at the house as well - not that I ever actually sit around on a Saturday, but it’s not planned exercise it’s wherever the wind takes me - so I created our own little Saturday WOD for our official exercise today. It kicked our butts; proof that it’s not about the location, to get a good work out you can be at your own house! We tried to record video, but my memory got full halfway through Dylan’s LOL oops!

50 jump ropes
50 sit ups
50 squats
jog on my property (Me: 800 meters, boys: 1200 meters)
50 burpees

Times:
Me: 22:47
16 yr old: 10:02
14 yr old: 19:20

We were pretty accurate guessing how far our 400 meter run was after converting the info from the pedometer from miles/meters. The boys did 1200 meter jogs and I did 800.

DAMN…I can kick my own butt on the weekend, but it’s still too hard to force a smile at the end LOL Excuse the blurry image…it’s hard to have a steady hand when you’re so tired ;0)

I have to say, I’m pretty darned proud of myself this week! I started no breads/grains/legumes, and I’m doing awesome. I had one bite of a bread stick at Olive Garden the other day and that has been it since Sunday! Almost a full week. It’s funny how many times you realize you were reaching for food though and then remind yourself NOOOO that’s a bread/grain!! It’s also pretty funny how great the food tastes when you don’t have those “fillers” (that’s what I consider them) and how much you actually start craving fresh veggies. Maybe after my b-day (4th of July) I will try cutting out the added sugar as well. :0)
