Progress Report and You Might Not Be a Crossfitter if....

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.
