Cross Fit: 2 down

My challenge for this month is to do 50 unbroken pull ups in a set . I did 100 in sets of 10 yesterday, each set unbroken. Slowly working towards my goal. Started out this month being able to do 5 in a row and would burn out after 4-5 sets. So making some progress. Long ways to go. Good luck everyone in reaching your goals for the month.

My new Xfit lifting buddy and I are doing it again tonight, took yesterday off, he said we would work our way up to daily. The birthing machine left my legs so sore they don't even feel sore - they feel bruised, they are tender to the touch! It's going to be brutal tonight but I am really looking forward to it. All I've had to eat today though is a 3 ounce piece of prime rib and it just feels stuck.

Great!

You might find a meal of good carbs before doing these cross fit type workouts will help you with sustained energy during your workout. Every day I make this huge bowl of steel oats that is mixed with a scoop of my Protein Powder and 1/2 cup Fiber one 2 hours before working out. Works great for sustained energy during the 1-2 hours of busting it out. A good whey Protein Drink afterwards along with Glutamine, as part of a BCAA stack, will help your body recover faster and stay out of a catabolic state. Keep drinking a lot of Water (in liters) all day to flush out the toxins generated during your daily intense work out.

Well, I haven't been on in a while, have been super busy, but am still getting in the exercise. This is what I am up to so far: MTD-walking 40 miles, 4 yoga classes, 3 strength sessions, and 20 minutes a day on either the eliptical or the recumbent. Sometimes it just seems like there is not enough hours in the day to get in everything that I need to do. Oh, well, who needs sleep?

Ok! I am really trying but I honestly just dont know how you people find time to work out so much! 13 hours at work on my feet all day. Zumba, or anything else for that matter just ain't gonna happen... not tonight anyway, and since tomorrow is Saturday and I already have over 8 hours of clients scheduled plus bookkeeping and cleaning, probably not tomorrow either. You guys must all be retired or something!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
