My Booboo :)

My sweet husband doing a workout with me!

My Team :)

I just wanted to put a picture up of a portion of my Crossfit team...everyone is so nice and encouraging...just what I need!!

HAHA

Well...there is yet another picture up of me...I'm hoping these are going to be good BEFORE pictures in a few months or a year or so...Kinda hurt my knee on Tuesday, so I'm gonna try back today and see if I can make it through the workout ok...I've gotta get my 3 days in, or I will feel like La PooPoo... If I can still walk, I might go in on Saturday morning also...

Too Many Visuals...

Our trainer keeps posting videos and pictures of us working out...I'd be stoked to see myself on the website, but, right now, each time I see a full picture of myself I get so sad. I hardly recognize myself...In my head I'm still a small 16 year old...I know this is a long road, but it is also a bumpy road. It's only been a couple weeks...we just started the diet thing...I haven't lost anything yet...I'm just hoping that by the end of August something will have happened because I am working SO hard...I want to exercise at a normal level like everyone else...I don't want to have special modifications...I just hope by this time next year I'm still going strong and can be encouragement for people that are overweight like I currently am.... SIGH (Here is a video of our workout warmup also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_msy8li-Ks )

Moving On...Crossfit

Well, I found very quickly that workout dvds ARE NOT for me! I got bored really quickly and stopped doing them...I'm thinking of selling our Power 90 set...Anyhoot, as of 6/29/09, Jamie and I are official members of a Crossfit gym. The workouts are tough BUT the workouts are done in small groups which majorly helps me. Usually, when i step into a gym I go straight for the cardio machines because that is all I know. At this place...the owner has been working with my husband and I on how to do exercises...he is very patient and helpful. It also helps that we are paying to go to this gym...the money factor motivates me because I don't want to just flush it away...If I'm paying for something, then I NEED to use it...and now we are locked in for a year SO I'm going to try my hardest to stay dedicated and motivated...SIGNING OFF!
