Although my back is still hurting I went to Crossfit. Worked hard and had a good time but had to really go slow and light with my back acting up. I find that when my back is acting up I have to move slower and slower in order to keep going at all. Also, I was not able to get down to the correct depth with my squats. I just went as far as I could.

One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
And yes, I was using the little girls bar for the dead lifts. I like to think I was working more on form than weight.
