So many of you have asked on different occasions how CrossFit is going... I have really tried NOT to measure or weigh myself and just go on how I feel. There have been moments during my workouts I have had to stop to pull up my pants and I thought huh, that is weird... good but weird. And today while running around the back yard chasing the girls I kept hiking my pants up. I remembered that the shirt and jeans I wore today I had been pictured in a while back... I was not happy with the shot. Remembering this, I decided when Garth came home tonight I would have him take some quick shots to see if we have made any "progress". I cannot believe I am doing this but here are some before and where we are now shots... I still have a long way to go but...
Here it is....

And then there is Garth who dropped the pounds soooo fast! He is on the last notch on most of his belts.

We are so excited we are seeing and feeling results. We are trying to stick to a Paleo/Zone way of eating and keeping up with our 3 times a week CrossFit.
This was a HUGE CrossFit week for me (((BIG SMILES))) Tonight for the second time in a row I FINISHED a workout before my coach called time (goal check)!!!!! I am on my way to accomplishing my goals Monday night I did a box hand stand push up (goal check)... barely, but it was a start. Yesterday we did "FRAN" as the WOD (workout of the Day) FRAN is 21-15-9 reps of, in this version, KB Thruster and Pull Ups, so I did 21 KB Thrusters and then 21 Pull ups and then 15 and then 9... I finished in 11:37! I did the pull ups WITH THE BANDS (goal check)!! and I had to go lighter on the kettle bell weight... still tough and I still finished!!! Tonight (Thursday, February 25) I finished the workout before JDP (my coach) called time... the WOD was: 3 rounds for time: 500m Row, 10 Squat Clean to Over Head. I need to start taking my book in and write it down because I have now forgotten the time but I think I finished it in 14:57???? I think. I know it was like 3 seconds from his time limit.
The important thing for me is I finished!!!!!! I am accomplishing goals... my pants are falling off... I'm on my way! HAHA!!

ReplyDeleteNevermind i was smart enough to look over and see your link on the page to crossfit LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to both of you! Amazing! I am Coach Carey Kepler from the gym, I don't think I have gotten to meet either of you and hope to in the near future! JDP had to share your story! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI have to post to let everyone know that I do not walk around with my pants hanging half way down my a**. I just wanted to show that my 32 inch pants, which were starting to get tight, will now fall past my waist if I don't have a belt on. Even in high school I wore 31s.....I may be smaller than that! I have only lost 10 lbs total (175 to 165), but lost a ton of inches.
ReplyDeleteOh Carey thank you so much!!! You guys have such a great thing going at CrossFit Central and we are so proud to be a part of it!
ReplyDeleteLooking aweseome! Congratulations to both of you. Keep it up.
