It's been a while since I felt like writing. The good news is that I haven't bored you with a bunch of mindless drivel. The bad news is, there is a bunch of mindless drivel below.
Progress Report:
My progress has been steady. I am down 37 lbs and have lost 6% body fat, and 6 inches around my waist.
I feel like I am still lagging behind in my cardio/respiratory improvement. My "wind" is a much bigger time drain than muscle fatigue. I have 23 more stubborn pounds to lose.
About 3 weeks ago, I began doing most of the lifting exercises at the prescribed weight. This has led to a lot of my workouts to be Rx. Over the past week, I have begun doing unassisted pull-ups. I have finished 2 pull-ups workouts at Rx! 1 arm Rx pull-ups.... wanna join me?!? The down side has been soreness like the first week of football camp.
You Might Not Be a Cross-fitter if you....
- want to know where to find the sauna.
- listen to headphones, during a CF workout.... ever.
- can talk or smile after the first minute of a WOD.
- aren't sure how a ripped palm looks.
- think the the pull-up bar is too dirty.
- like to hear "Single Ladies" during every WOD [ Oh, I'm gonna take crap for that one ;) ]
- haven't almost puked or passed out yet.
- are uncomfortable cheering for another guy as he MAX squats.
- can't say Snatch without giggling.
- aren't into the whole "sweating thing".
In my final attempt at humor, I took a few "Chuck Norris" jokes and changed them to CF jokes:
- The square root of Crossfit is pain. Do not try to square Crossfit, the result is death.
- It takes a Crossfitter 20 minutes to watch 60 minutes.
- When a Crossfitter does a push up, he isn't lifting himself up... he's pushing the Earth down.
There are great Chuck Norris jokes
here.
