Today, I was able to go back to my CrossFit box(gym) for the first time in weeks and it felt so good to be back to my second home. I ran into my fit family there and the support and love I received from them seriously warmed my heart. They couldn't believe how much weight I have lost and asked how many pounds have I lost this year so I told them...I have lost 87 pounds so far this year and I have gone down 10 pant sizes from a size 44 to a size 34.
Anyways, it was their open gym hours, so since it was my day off at work (finally!!! no more 6 or 7 day weeks anymore), I got to do come chest workouts that I haven't done in many weeks. We started with bench press and did 12 reps, then increased weight and did 10 reps, increased weight and did 8 reps, increased weight and did 4 reps, then decreased weight and did 8 reps, decreased weight did 10 reps, and finally decreased weight and did 12 reps. I'm not putting down the weight I used because it is embarrassing. I haven't been able to do my regular workouts because of my job promotion so I have been running 4 miles a day multiple times a week. Even though my endurance is off the charts, my strength is weak.
After the bench press pyramid/reverse pyramid, we did 3 sets of bench press burn outs - 50 reps at 55 lbs. Then we did 3 sets of 10 reps of push ups with push up bars and our feet on boxes. Finally, we did 3 sets of 10 reps of pull-overs with dumbbells. Once again, I'm not saying the weight I used because I am embarrassed as hell.
After all that, coach wanted us to run 3 200meter sprints with 2 minutes of rest in between sprints. I can't believe what I was able to do...I ran all 3 of them and I left every fucker in the dust. I seriously shocked myself because I thought I would be slow like a fucking turtle but I actually hauled ass!! I didn't even get out of breath after each sprint so I was so surprised.
I have made the decision that I am staying with my family at CrossFit so come January, after I have got down to body fat I need to be in order to do my first testosterone cycle ever in January and my second cycle in the late summer, I am going to do my CrossFit workouts and do my Olympic weightlifting at a different gym that only does Olympic weightlifting. I'll do the Olympic weightlifting on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and I'll do my CrossFit on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (Fridays are going to be a motherfucker!!!).
I can only imagine the diet that 3J is going to put me on in January to bulk up and try to get back the 70 pounds of muscle I lost since my injury a couple of years ago. I have a feeling I'll be eating like a motherfucker!!! Luckily I am hiring him or her (I don't know if 3J is a guy or girl) for the long term so this isn't some 6 week bullshit. He or she is a worthwhile investment so I was thinking long term , like a full year. Anyways, I will be posting my macros for the day later tonight.
As far as the spirit, I became a Christian after being an atheist for 25 years so it's brand new but at least its kept me out of trouble and I seem to be nicer to people, so I guess it's a good thing.
