Getting Back to Normal (CrossFit After Pneumonia)

by
Buddy Up

Lately I’ve been struggling to get things back to normal. December has been a rough month for me. I slowed things down when finals week came around. During finals I ended up getting pneumonia and things really slowed down to snail’s pace. Well last Friday that finally ended, when I went to my first CrossFit class since pneumonia. Let me tell you it felt good to be back in my box. Everyone was excited to see me back. Asking me where I have been, they miss me. I responded with “pneumonia,” their response was, “Oh yea that will take you out of the game.” Anyways I looked at the WOD board I said to myself, “this is going to be interesting,” it was a partnered WOD. I ended up partnering with a guy named Ben; I’ve seen him in the advance classes. The average person would would be intimidated, because he was probably this fittest in the classes, but I really didn’t care. I told home I’m planning to do everything, but I might need breaks in between workouts… I might be slow but I’m always going to finish…

3, 2, 1 Go! Let the WOD begin! 5 minutes later I’m gasping for air… Damn I can’t breathe! Push, push, push, one more, one more, one more. That’s what I told myself as I mulled through the workout out. Everything was semi smooth sailing until I got to those Over/Unders…for those who don’t know what over/unders are … It’s when your partner get on all fours and you jump over them, then they plank and you crawl under them.

It might sound simple exercise but the jump and crawling aspect wore me out! It got to the point where I stop jumping and started to step over him (Hey you gotta do what you gotta do!) I kept pushing and we ended up finishing first. This is odd because I usually finish last every CrossFit class. That was an added bonus what I was really excited about was finishing my first CrossFit class since having pneumonia. I feel like I’m just about back to normal I have to see what my first run will be like…Anyways I’m excited to be back.

Until Next time I’m 300 Pounds and Running.

 

How do you log your eating and/or workouts?

by

Hello everyone it’s day 6 of the September Healthy Living / Fitness Blogger Writing Challenge.

Today’s topic: How do you log your eating and/or workouts?

Well I use to log my food via spark people app and before that pen and pad. Both times I wasn’t successful in staying consistent. I’ll log one day, skip about 3 days and log again. I finally sat down with myself and ask, “Martinus why you can’t stay consistent with logging your food?” The answer I came up with is that rather ask myself “are you hungry” before I put food in my mouth than log what I’m eating. So I stop logging and started asking are you
