CrossFit Progress

I've been doing Crossfit for about 2 months now. I still feel like I really suck during the workouts, like I am so out of shape! I just feel like I can't BREATHE the whole time, and I hate it! But I guess I'm getting better, and I haven't been scaling the workouts as much as I did in the beginning.

I'm getting a little better at running-I still HATE it, but at least it's not absolute torture anymore.

I haven't worked on my muscle up in a while, so that's something I need to work on again soon. I am determined to be able to do one!!!! I hate when I can't do something!

My favorite workouts, of course, are the strength workouts. Now those are the ones I feel like I am good at! (Besides the snatch and overhead squat)

Here are a few of the numbers I've hit so far, and I can't wait to improve on them and get stronger!
Front squat-145lbs x1rep
Back squat-205 lbs x1 rep
Overhead squat- 95 lbs x1 rep(I really need to work at these-they are hard!)
Hang power clean-120 x2 reps
Push press-120 x3 reps
Clean-120 x1 rep
Bench press-125 x1 rep
Deadlift-195 x2 reps

I am definitely weak at deadlifts, since I never did them before I started CrossFit. That's something I'm sure my strength will increase on for sure since we do a ton of them.

Anyway, I just wanted to update on my progress so far. I haven't had a computer for the past couple of weeks, so I'm not able to get on here much. We ordered a new computer, so hopefully we'll have it soon!

    Way to go Lindsay! I am seriously going to look into the CrossFit down the street from my boys' school! I'm glad you're sticking with it : )

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
