Week 7

W7: Day 1-Monday
Well, today has been a day of good news. In case you were living under a rock or not on FB today, I got great news on my blood work at the doctor's office. No diabetes, cholesterol was a little high (nothing to be worried about), and no thyroid issues. My liver, kidneys, and other things are functioning well. Only issue was with my Vitamin D and B12. Those will be resolved with Rx and over-the-counter, respectively. 

With all that good news, I'm happy to be moving forward with what I know. I will keep at CrossFit and eating healthy. Speaking of CrossFit, today was an 'easy' day. Easy in CrossFit is not really easy, but it isn't 'you're going to die' hard either. Today's WOD: 5 Hand Raise push ups, 10 box pistols, and 15 ring rows at AMRAP for 20 minutes. I finished 5 rounds at 20 min 15 sec. I am happy with that, because that 15 sec was to finished 5 ring rows. My goal is to get to the point where my rests are few and not long. The coaches are always telling us not to rest for too long, so I'd like to get to that point. 

W7: Day 2-Tuesday
Today went well. I'll spare you the details of the WOD.

Here's my inspiration for the day. 

Crossfit has taught me so much about myself (that's another blog post). Where ever you are in your health journey, keep going and push yourself. You can do much more than you THINK you can.  

W7:  Day 3-Thursday

Progress....that is the word I hear from my coach today. I have made progress on the box step-ups. However, my biggest battle is in my mind. I imagine it will continue to be the enemy that awaits me when I step into the box. My mind will always tell me I cannot step up, lift X amount of #s, and it will always be the voice I cannot quite.

As I was trying to do those box step-ups without holding on to something, my mind said, 'You can't do this. You have to hold onto a bar. You are weak, your knee is too weak to lift you that high without help.'  I did the step-ups with a bar, but I did all 119 of them. I was fighting my mind the entire time. Overall, today was good. I finished the WOD, and the time doesn't matter. I finished what I started, and that is something to be proud of. 

Until next week,
