I've decided NOT to keep up with my weight right now. I don't know why, but I'm not really losing weight - just inches. So...if I have to choose which I prefer to lose I would have to say inches because I can see/tell a difference that way. That being said, below are my new stats:
Start Body Part Today Loss of
15.5 Upper Arm R 15 .5
15.5 Upper Arm L 15 .5
42 Bust 40.5 1.5
49 Waist 45.75 3.75
56 Hips 54.25 1.75
29.5 Thigh R 29 .5
30 Thigh L 29 1
20.25 Calf R 20 .25
21 Calf L 20 1
TOTAL LOSS OF 10.75 inches!! Woop-Woop!!
Today's workout:
For time - 3 rounds of:
15 front squats w/15# weights
15 pushups
15 jump lunges
15 knees to elbows
15 hang clean w/20-30# weights
15 back extensions
I did this in 17:17. I probably had a better time, but my IPod player kept stopping on the album I was trying to play and I spent some time re-starting it without stopping the stopwatch! I used 15.5# dumbbells with my squats and 22# dumbbells with my hang cleans. I did standing knee to elbows and wasn't sure how to count the jump lunges (1 for each jump or 1 for each set of legs), so I erred on the side of caution and counted them as a set.
I'm VERY happy with my time - I'm actually in the range of everyone else today! It was a short workout compared to a lot of the others, but man did it get my heart rate up and the sweat was pouring off of me! In fact, I was still sweating 15 minutes later.
I've said it before, but I really do LOVE the CrossFit Mama workouts!! They're intense, but there's no measurement for the personal satisfaction I get from completing them and NOT giving up, no matter WHAT my time is. I know I'll get faster and I can already tell I'm more fit. I can run for longer periods of time than ever before - no muffin top (!) - and I feel great! What more could I want? Life is good. :)
