Workout Summary for the Week of 8/25/14

Wow…what a week for us! We have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to fix up a few things at the house, but at least we are making progress. The house is finally getting to where it needs to be and we have almost completely settled back in.

One good thing that has come out of all of this hard work is that I finally got my red front door! Very excited about this…it looks so great when you walk up to our house.

Workout Summary for the Week of 8/11/14

Since we started CrossFit at the beginning of August, we had only been able to go to a class once a week. This week definitely changed that pattern…we went 4 classes this week – Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Wednesday, we took a rest day from CrossFit because we went to visit my family to see my brother and our niece and nephew that were visiting. We were still able to play an hour of tennis, a short game of racquetball, and bring my nephew to the beach to go body boarding. Yes, we definitely had an active, but fun week!

We are both really starting to enjoy CrossFit and get the hang of things. We learned a lot this week, and had so much fun going to classes.  Although, it’s certainly good to have the weekend off to rest and recuperate. Jumping to four hours of CrossFit does not come without some a ton of soreness!  No pain, no gain, right?

never give up

We Finally Made the Commitment!

I have always liked the idea of CrossFit, but have never wanted to make the commitment to making CrossFit my primary method of working out because of my fear of getting overly muscular and the cost of joining a box.  Over the last few months, I had started to try some CrossFit workouts on my own to mix things up at the gym because I had found myself getting bored at the gym, especially when the thought of running on the treadmill came to my mind.  I started to enjoy the CrossFit work out of the day (WOD) I would do on my own, but sometimes it was difficult to find the space or right equipment I needed.  After much discussion with my brother about his CrossFit gym and his experiences, along with trying out some CrossFit workouts on my own, I realized I really should trust my instinct and give it a try, as all things pointed to the benefits far outweighing the negatives.

My husband and I have been talking about trying/starting CrossFit for the last few months, but our schedules weren’t matching up, and we couldn’t find a convenient gym we liked.  When my husband heard about the new CrossFit gym opening in the area near our house around the same time we were planning to move back to our house, he talked to me about it, and I convinced him that we should join when we move.

Today was opening day for the new CrossFit gym near our house and we finally made the commitment to join.
