I'll probably be paying for it tomorrow and the steps up the apartment hurt but I'm still proud. This week has been a week of crazy squats and my legs are definitely getting stronger.

Also, I'd like to report that I can do good pushups! So far only 5 really good ones before they turn not so good or I have to stop and start again but I'm working on it. Goal: 20 awesome, chest to the ground pushups in a row without stopping or getting funky in my form.

Week 1

I wrote Geoff a super long e-mail all about working out and dieting and I thought- he doesn't want to hear this. So I've decided to create a blog to keep a log of all this stuff without boring him with the details and to record all the crazy workouts I do because I'm kind of proud of myself. 

So this week:

Monday- 

100 squats

100 pushups

100 pullups

100 situps

Tuesday- I am Crossfit begins.

400 meter run

7 power cleans

30 pull ups

(3 rounds)

Time: NOT GOOD. Did not finish. Ran too slow. Mad at myself.

Wednesday-

100 meter run

15 frog jumps (think leap frog)

15 kettle bell swings (8 pounds)

30 kettle bell lunges (8 pounds)

Time: okay. Partially proud of myself for doing 8 pounds instead of 7, partially mad at myself for not doing more/being faster.

Anyhow, as of Wednesday, I am MAD at myself. I know I can do better. I gained 5 pounds over the holidays and it took me 2 months to get rid of those 5 pounds. And I can tell that my workouts are harder. I'm wondering how long it will take to get back to where I was before those two weeks. I feel like the natural me is so much fatter than the me I want to be so I workout like crazy. And the whole time I want to scream "It's not fair" and kick my legs in a tantrum. But screaming doesn't make you fit so I'll keep working out.

Thursday 

20 lunges

30 thrusters

40 kettlebell swings
