Today's workout looks like a short one, so I'm going to do a pre-programmed workout on my treadmill beforehand.
For time -
30 front squats w/20-30 lbs
7 pullups (or attempted pullups)
30 front squats w/20-30 lbs
5 pullups (or attempted pullups)
Short and easy, PLUS this will count against my 65 squats for the squat-a-thon! I know, I know. I said I wasn't doing it but decided as long as I'm not sore I will do them and today is a non-sore day. Tomorrow is another story!

4:42!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in the average time range!! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I used 24 lbs for the squats and did a total of 3 unassisted pullups, but switched to assisted and came down extremely slowly - my arms were quivering!
I also did a programmed workout on my treadmill - workout #1. This workout used to make me SO out of breath and I would always slow the fastest timed segment down from 3.5 mph to 3.2 mph. Well! Today, I did it as programmed and checked my heart rate throughout the workout. The highest my heart rate got was 125 at 3.5 mph with an incline of 6 (10 is the highest incline the treadmill goes). Not bad! I was surprised I wasn't as tired from this workout as I used to be - so I MUST be getting stronger! YAY!! I did the treadmill before I did the CrossFit workout. I also added 5 weighted squats (untimed) at the end so I could count this for my 65 squats for the squat-a-thon. :)
OH! My whole "ignoring the scales" didn't last long. I weighed before working out and guess what? I made it below 250! That's right - 249.5! That's a total of 5 pounds lost. I'm hoping the weight does start coming down - I was very discouraged yesterday, but I refuse to stop my workouts. This is the longest I've stuck with them while doing them by myself, at home. Still loving CrossFit!
