I have to start off by saying. I can walk around just fine. I can pick my arms up. I haven’t gone to the ER since that last time (sigh), thrown up, or passed out due to exercising.
It’s been two complete weeks of crossfit where I have worked out either three or four times per week. In hindsight, I now see that my problems in the past with soreness were due to the fact that I was not working out enough.
When we signed up a few weeks ago, I made a little promise with myself. That promise was to go to every workout that was scheduled no matter how tired or sore I might have felt. To my surprise, I wasn’t really all that sore. More tired from anything, but that was due more to life than the workouts.
Despite being tired and sick, I went to every workout that I have scheduled for myself and after two weeks, I feel great! I have made the comment twice this weekend that even though I am almost 30 (blech), I actually feel like I am stronger and more fit than I was when I was 18 or 20. It’s a pretty damn good feeling, and this is only the beginning.
Awesome to hear that you are feeling positive about everything; I definitely feel that doing something like Crossfit that exposes our weaknesses and turns them into strengths is definitely a good ‘next step’ once you reach an inevitable plateau from other training methods!
Combined with the Paleo-style eating and good sleep and a great relationship with a fantastic gal, it looks like your life is getting better and better!
I agree with Ryon – I’m fantastic! hehe…thanks Ryon!
