I forgot to mention I also threw rocks at a stump for awhile.   

I felt energetic today, so I also did my ttapp Basic Workout Plus, plus some ab and leg exercises.

Ugh, moving is the worst.  I'm tired just thinking about it. It's really, really rough. Did you move far? Around here it's survival of the fittest (and no road shoulder). Even in a regular car where they should see me, the trucks and SUVs scares me. You have no idea how much I envy just that. I'm expecting more updates in this journal the next few weeks!  The excitement of exploring a new area is like ten cups of coffee and a too expensive personal trainer together. The further away, the better. Watch the back! 

Hubby joined a floor hockey team that plays games once a week.  I have to drive him to the rec center anyway, so when he had his last game I forked over $6 and used the gym equipment for an hour while he played.  Did 30 min on the treadmill alternating walking and jogging, then did some basic ttapp moves that I have memorized and some light weights.  I'm pooped!  It's the first constructive exercise I've done in awhile. 

I'm considering paying the full gym membership as it gains me access to all the rec centers in the county and, as a county resident, I get a substantial discount.  It's still a chunk of change though, and I don't want to sign up for it in a fit of insanity and then lose my steam and never go.

When I'm not posting in here, I'm basically not working out at all.  ;P  It's a sorry state of affairs.

I've been reading about crossfit lately and the style of it is really appealing to me even though I am the biggest wuss imaginable.  I decided to try out some of their exercises that don't use weights, so yesterday I did 5 burpees, 10 pushups, and 5 squats.  I was basically doing it just to see what it was like, so I didn't try very hard.

Today I did 5 burpees, 5 pushups, and 5 squats followed by 3 burpees, 3 pushups, and 3 squats.  I was going to do a round of 1 rep each, but after the 3 rep round I felt really really lightheaded and thought I might pass out so I stopped.  Surprisingly to me, during today's very short workout I realized I was actually pretty sore from yesterday's introductory workout.

I'm going to see if I can con someone into getting me a pull-up bar that fits on the door frame for my birthday (it's about a month and a half away).  There is no way in hiznell that I can do a pull-up right now, but that's the point.  I'll start with jump-ups or with negatives.

I still have my Ttapp DVDs and maybe I can motivate myself to bust those out, too.

It's not sad! At least you are doing strength training -- most women don't do what you're doing. Crossfit is so great and burpees are ridiculous... but oh so good for you.

Keep up the good work!!

Still really frickin sore from my pullup things.

Today I did the burpee/pushup/squat routine, 4 rounds with reps of 5,3,2,1.  (no idea if I'm transcribing with the right notation, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as it makes sense to me)

edit: I tried to go do just 1 pullup negative after I posted this and I think I injured myself.  ugh.  ouch.  UGH.

I tried day 1, level 1 of the simplefit program today using my modified pull-up (I stand on something).  It was supposed to be max rounds in 20 min of 1 pull-up, 2 pushups, 3 squats.  I only made it for 10 min and I did 10 rounds.

I'm already starting to see some muscle tone from the pull-up practicing I've been doing lately.  I'm shocked!  It is tightening up my abs, of all things.
