A rest day...

Today at crossfit I did the warm up - holy cow someone needs to discuss the concept of a warm up with these people.   I had to do these funky ab things - I HAVE NEVER felt that much stretching in my gut - it was awesome!  Then we did that worm thing again -but I couldn't go to my elbows this time because my scabs keep bleeding.  But I did it as close as possible, then more modified-hand-stand push-ups, with 50 double under jump ropes (which since I can't do double unders I have to do 3times that amount) before and after. Durring the last set of jump ropes, my back started spazzing decently.  Then I went to do the WOD which was floor bench press - clean and thrusts (I think) - then bur-pees.  I was so excited about the bench press, then went to do the cleans and and my back said NO.  Harvey saw the cringe in my face and said, "you're pretty beat up, lets have a recovery day." So I did a lot of stretching - and then they said to ice tonight.  I LOVE that they made me break because my body needed it.

This stuff's addicting.  I can't wait to go tomorrow morning to show them that I can make it!  I do, however, wish my elbows and knees would heel.  Its annoying that I have to have bandaids because I start bleeding at random times of the day.

I think I"m going to take a picture tomorrow = maybe every two weeks, but I haven't figured out yet what to wear, how to pose... all that stuff.  It was VERY cool waking up to seeing -11.8lbs in LESS than 2 weeks!!!!  I also love that Harvey just texted me to ask how my back was feeling!  LOVE this place!
