three months later

I couldn't remember when I last wrote on my blog, it's been a busy summer.  Three months since the last post.  Three months of Crossfit, most weeks, three times a week.  So, something happened to my body, it changed.  I realize that is not a surprise, but the way it feels is a surprise to me.  I was probably strong when I was young, heck, even when I was completely out of shape, I was still strong.  But now, I have muscles, everywhere.  Every move I make I can feel them, and they are strong.  If I touch my arm, I can feel that strong muscle, just under the skin.  I haven't lost many pounds at all, but the "jiggle" test tells the true story.  The fat is slowly disappearing, it is still being replaced by muscle.  Well no kidding, last week I dead lifted 115 lbs.  If you asked me what I thought I could lift it would have been around 50 lbs.  I can lift 70 lbs over my head.  I can do many many many many more sit ups than one would dream possible, I can run, I can skip and I can jump on a higher box, many many many times.  And it is still hard, my heart is pounding, my chest is heaving, my face is red, and a workout takes "sweating" to a new level.  And I love it, want to go, am always glad I went and I talk about it a lot; to the great annoyance of others.  Crossfit is the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time.  Sweet.
