Slept well last night and decided to try Crossfit class this morning at 6AM. There was ice on the windshield so winter is not done with us yet.

Still not recovered 100 percent from my cold but thought I would try a workout anyway and see what happened. I was able to get through the workout but it was hard. I had to push all the way and finally finished.

Did not feel good for the rest of the day. Upset stomach, headache and itchy eyes. Not sure if I will try a workout again in the morning. We will see how the night goes.

WEIGHT—WHAT IS GOING ON?—I was really disappointed with my weigh in. I really worked hard on my eating even with being sick most of the week. I came it at 251.0, exactly what I was last week. I even got on the scale twice and then had Brian get on to make sure the scale was not stuck at 251.0. I was desperate for an explanation of why no change. I know I am smaller, my pants show that and I can feel that my stomach has gone down. I am going to just keep going and see how next week goes.

3-9-2009 253.6
3-16-2009 251.6
3-23-2009 251.0
3-30-2009 251.0
Total 10.00

What hurts today—Other than a headache, stomach ache, itchy eyes and general feeling of being miserable I am doing OK. My left arm is still acting up and hurts again today after the workout. Knees and back ok.

Brian mentioned that we are going to try a CrossFit Total (CFT) this Saturday from 9A-11A.

The CrossFit Total is the sum of the best of three attempts at the squat, the press, and the deadlift, the three most effective lifts in existence for developing and testing functional strength.

Here is a link that explains the CFT in detail. My CFT on December 10th was 715 and my goal is to get it to 800 by July 1st.

  1. Debbie says:

    I hope you are feeling better. It is definitely hard to know when to start working out again.

    I bet by next week you will have a good poundage loss. I know how disappointing the scale can be when it doesn’t reflect how good we have been, but the fact you can tell you are smaller by the way your pants fit, shows you are losing inches.

  2. [...] One Year Ago—My weigh in one year ago was 251.1 so at least I am better of than I was then. [...]
