Not my legs -
These belong to the 70 year old lady
in the CrossFit class
They call our class "Beginners" now,
not BootCamp. Just as well, cuz no one
was actually wearing boots.
I want to call the class "Cougars!"
I hella rowed today.
They said to go all out -
I did!
35 pound kettle bell dead lift
The box looks like person doing KB swings -
Can you see her?
Or is it just me?
WOD
My first publicly stated goal!
“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached,
don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”
I imagine even my goals are baby step goals.
Everyone else's goals are like
"Run 100 miles, backwards, blindfolded,
in the rain - in under an hour..."
In CrossFit, they say
"Your work-out is our warm-up!

Since the holidays are about 4 months off
(like 18 weeks)
I figured I could work on my weight-loss
and my CrossFit goals.
8 pounds in 18 weeks.
Can I do it?
Hope your day is wonderful!
And now back to sleep!
ReplyDeletezzzzz
and I love YOU.
ReplyDeletewhen the child is settled in school Im getting my booty to crossfit too.
looks like fun, and good goals! I see all sorts of shapes, mostly faces and stuff in all sorts of THINGS. I know lots of people would think that means you're nuts--actually it just means you're very creative and a visual person!
ReplyDeleteThose are no dumb bell goals! Nice work out!
ReplyDelete8 lb in 18 weeks? OF COURSE you can do it. But start right now. Hit the ground running. Or lifting. Or...do it.
ReplyDeleteYou can totally hit that 8 pound goal!
ReplyDeleteBtw, whenever you post a picture of your box-jump box, I have flashbacks to my nemesis - box jumping is so hard, mentally and physically! You are awesome for tackling on the cross-fit. :)
I totally see the person doing the kettlebell swings...and this whole post reminds me that I MISS MY KETTLEBELL WORKOUTS!! Why won't I just do them on my own? Grrr...
ReplyDeleteWish I could work out with you !!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I needed this, love this, will repeat this a lot:
“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached,
don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”
Thanks, A!
I'm trying to add weights to my pathetic exercise routine (actually, what routine?) I walk my dog, Smiley. Does that count? I do a few stretches. I'm sure that doesn't count. Geesh, I'm going to have to change things.
ReplyDeleteI believe you can do it, Anne. You can do anything you set your mind to. Hang in there and maintain your focus.
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks for the words of encouragement.
ReplyDeleteSo now it's out there.... my first public goal!
*gulp!*
That's a half a pound a week average!
:D
Yay for that!
Row, row, row you boat.... :)
ReplyDeleteYou can do anything kiddo!! As long as you really want it.
I may just have to get some kettle balls
