First time on the bench press!

Big accomplishment today at Crossfit:

I BENCHED 75 LBS! ON MY FIRST TIME DOING THE BENCH PRESS! I WAS PRETTY STOKED! PLUS, I DID ABOUT 7 REAL PUSHUPS! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I CAN'T............BUT IT FEELS GOOD!

Motivation....

My little sis, Ang, has now lost almost 50 pounds and that has definitely zapped me (if you know what I mean)! She is such an inspiration to me and she is giving me the determination to get this weight-loss ball rolling. I've been tracking calories for about 3 days now (it sucks; and I've still been naughty), but I know it's what is going to get me at my goal weight. I'm putting this out there right now. I have a goal to lost 20 pounds by November (our military ball, where I have to wear a formal dress....eeeeeek!). I can already tell a difference in the firmness of my arms and legs (so can my hubby :), now I just need to get the eating under wraps and I feel like the weight will fly off. Meanwhile, every time I feel depressed, or just need an extra boost, I'll be looking at your before and after picture Angie, and checking out other weight loss blogs to see what works for them. Bring it on!!!!!

Today's WOD...

Today's workout was:

500 meter row

then....21-18-15-12-9-6-2

intervals of Sumo KB squats and v-ups

and finishing off with a 500 meter row

I used the 25 pound weight for the Sumo's and totally felt like I could've done more weight.

I don't feel wasted tonight.....I guess that means it's time to up the weight and resistance!

I made my goal weight this week!

I had a goal to be at 187 by today and I did it!!!!! Now my goal is to be at 184 by next Monday!

By the way, Crossfit is amazing, so addicting. Because of a crazy schedule this week, I'm going early morning, harder to get going, but still worth it!

Progress?

Well, the cough is almost gone, I guess that means my lungs are getting stronger and my cardiovascular fitness is getting better. Today was a tough workout:

800 meter run (I rowed)

64 KB throws

44 Russian twists

400 meter run (I ran)

43 KB throws

24 Russian twists

200 meter run (I ran)

21 KB throws

12 Russian twists

I really wish I could've ran the 800 meters. Tonight, I had a protein shake, a little popcorn, and apple cinnamon herbal tea to loosen up my throat. I can definitely feel myself getting stronger, and I'm so excited for what's to come!!!!!!!
