Crossfit: Week 3! Day 1

Weight: 250.5

Third week!

I'm glad I'm sticking with this so far.  Back up and on my 'normal' (still not used to it) early AM schedule so we'll hopefully keep that going.

Didn't get the rest and recovery that I had fully hoped for this weekend, but it was fun and the work in the yard needed to be done.

Shoulder a little sore, back feeling much better.  Overall still feeling great after 2 weeks.

Weight went up this morning.  Could be muscle, could be some weekend eating.  Not sure.  I'm definitely not 'skimping' the workouts and leave everyone feeling like I went swimming I'm so soaked so I'm not too worried about it.  My eating has been much better these last two weeks than the weeks before that so I have to believe this will turn around.  I read somewhere before I started crossfit that the scale might jump up for a few weeks so I'm just assuming my body is adjusting and I'm building muscle and that it'll sort itself out.

Today's workout was good.  I tried early on to sneak in my first Rx but just couldn't get the form and ranged I needed in the wall-ball and needed a bit of 'cheat' on some of the sit-ups.  I think in a few months a workout like this will be prime Rx material.

Pre-workout Strength Training:
Worked up to 105 x 5 on Push Press (shoulder press)

Workout:
20-16-12-8-4 (declining reps for 5 sets)
200m run (1 time per set)
Situps
Wall-Ball

Finished in 17:35.

Was starving when I got home and am still running 'hot' it feels like.  Might need to kick in a cup of coffee to offset this early morning fog.
