cross*fit

Went to a little gym right in my neighborhood.

They do alot of CrossFit Training there.

The Trainer (I call him Robert Q)

is super good, super fit, super all kinds of things.
Built like a tank and house and movie star.

I signed up for a 3 month Boot Camp

April, May, June.

And probably do July as well.

Just depends. (If I live!)

I am starting over as a new, total beginner.

When I first started LoCarb, and did the bouncer,

I had to do it sitting down!

Because, aside from my rugged good looks 

in the 200+ club, I really was not in good shape.

I could barely climb the stairs to get home.

Who knows what kind of medical condition I was in.

(Probably not too good.)

Now, I am in better shape, 
but you still can't call it "good shape."

My little work-outs are a good start.

But this is like being in Remedial Fatty (Phat) Class Boot Camp!

Just doing the assessment was more than my usual workout!

(Yes, it whipped my fatty ass!)

I also found out my scale is off by 8 pounds or so.

And I have like 39.9% body fat. Still.

I am not upset because 1) I have already lost so much 

2) I am still losing more and 3) Can you imagine what it was before?
(Do the numbers go up that high?)

I figure it like this:

I am not there to work on my strengths.

I am there to work on my weaknesses!

I will go to the class two days a week.

And gradually improve strength and function.

Then they design a plan to work on during the week.
I already have the set-up in my apartment.
So doing it won't be an issue.
(Other than actually doing it, of course!)

Robert Q eats Paleo, and we read alot of the same blogs.

So LoCarb is no problem for him.
(That's good - cuz I'd hate to have to fight him!)

He also asked if I had any body type in mind

And I chose this lady.

Her name is Ernestine Shepherd.

She is 73 and a body building champion!

I might not have abs like that - ever. 

Or guns. But at least I know now

that there is something I can do for myself

in the Fitness Department!

So time to get crack-a-lacking!

Plus it gives my mind something to do.

And my body, of course!

Hope your day is wonderful!
