Karen who?

>> Thursday, May 13, 2010

I did my 2nd CrossFit workout in just as many days! That's right people, I'm on a fricken roll!   ;-)

The last two days have been a lot of fun. I really missed CrossFit and I realize now how motivating and fun it is. I think I'll probably stick with it for a while.

I've felt like I've been losing some muscle this year compared to last year. It's just that I'm not nearly as diligent as I used to be with working out all the time. I still exercise obviously, but last year I did it religiously. And while some days I wish I was like that still, I know my goal this year was to find more balance in my life.

I know I'm not as fit as I used to be though. Tonight- perfect example.

I did "Karen"- 150 wallballs for time. A wallball is when you go into a squat and on your way up, thrust an exercise ball (I used 15lbs tonight) into the air, catching it on your way down. Repeat x 150! 

It's a quick workout- took me 11 minutes 25 seconds- but holy hell it is one hard workout. Imagine doing 150 squats in 11 minutes and throwing up a ball 150 times too!

Either way, when I did this workout back in August 2009, my time was better by 26 seconds. I did "Karen" in 10:59 but get this, I used a 20lb ball and tonight I used a 15lb ball! So, I did it faster with a heavier ball.

I'm not upset about it or anything, but it's not exactly awesome either.


On the financial front, I transferred $1,000 to our New Car Savings today.

Total Saved = $9,629.77!

Until tomorrow,

my personal trainer gave me the choice of wall balls or burpees the other day on one of the circuits we were doing...needless to say i picked the wall balls, all your blogs about burpees scared me, haha.
