Can you row instead of run? That's what I did when I was out of action running-wise for a few weeks due to an injury. Even with modifications, cross fit is wonderful. I agree with what another poster said above about rehab. Maybe go see a sports physical therapist or someone similar. I've been going to an airrosti practice…

I used to track and then the combo of paleo plus tracking made me start to get a little crazy. I'm very ocd and was getting mad at myself for every little slip. I know what is a healthy amount to eat and I know what foods are good and bad. Just letting go of the counting has been wonderful. I try to be mostly primal but I…

And if you have a strong enough blender you can add in sliced almonds to get some more protein.

The bear complex is a killer. You are using your whole body and are in a kind of weird position so it ups your hr more than running.

I have a Garmin 310XT and you put in your level of fitness (from 1-10 on with 10 being someone who works out at high intensity 7 days a week). I rank myself as a 7. I average about 200-250 cal a workout with the workouts that involve long runs getting up to a max of 450 (ie 4x 800mrun plus 50 box jumps). A lot of this…

I just did the Austin one as well. The arctic enema wasn't anywhere near as bad as I expected. It is a shock and it's hard to take in a breath bc the cold makes you hyperventilate but there are definitely worse obstacles. Definitely put on sunblock. I only put it on my face and now i have an awesome burn on the back of my…

You are welcome to add me. I have been on a bit of a rampage cheating-wise lately but most of the things I eat until dinner are usually pretty good.

also with the issue of the ugly winter months, check craigslist for treadmills. I bought one for less than $300 last year and I love having it at home.

You can run AND do cross fit. Start out slow with cross fit. Go 3x a week and run the other 3 days. Crossfit can easily be addicting but if you really do love running you should keep time for that too. I feel the same way. I started cross fit, got hooked and went 5x a week for a few months. I was getting stronger…

This is just a guess but it might be related to the switch from your body using carbohydrates for energy to fat. When I first started eating that way I was in the bathroom all day long as my body dropped all the water weight. You may need to drink more water. Or a downside to losing a good amount of weight is that the…

I'm in. I started yesterday though. I did a practice week last week so I could make sure I was getting enough calories so that I could not track for the entire time. Lost almost 5lbs of bloat and water weight in a week. Crazy. My workouts were a little tough but I've already talked to my crossfit coach about it all and he…

I'm in my fourth month and I'm only now starting to see actual numeric changes (weight/body fat). My husband has been raving about my butt since about one month in though ;) I've seen tremendous gains in strength and endurance however. My first crossfit workout was 4X400 m sprints. I was seeing stars and almost throwing up…

Target is always good. Pretty good wicking material stuff for a decent price. Compression-wise I'm all about under armour but you pay for it. I keep hearing about those adidas shoes they came out with for crossfit but I haven't tried them yet. I use my brooks pure cadence since I run with them as well.

This is from a month ago and I know I can definitely do more with the back squat and the deadlift. Presses are another story. Even with the push press I can't do much more weight. Skinny little t-rex arms are definitely a work in progress :) Back squat 105 Deadlift 155 Press 60

Started at the beginning of May. I only know a few max reps. Deadlift 155 Press 60 (oh what I would give to be able to use my legs on this one - t rex arms just don't cut it overhead ;) back squat 105 Haven't done any snatches, cleans or jerks in a while but I've been improving in leaps and bounds going 5 days a week in…

I know how you feel. I busted my leg doing box jumps during Hope. It didn't feel that bad at the time. Minor little gash. By that night I could barely put weight on the leg and the next day had the ugliest bruise going from lower/mid shin almost up to my knee. (I am a bruiser anyways. Don't think I have had a bruise free…

3 rounds of: run 100m: 200m: 400m with 1:1 rest WOD 10 minutes AMRAP 10 pullups 15 pushups 20 squats Went at 6am. Thought the running would be brutal but it wasn't too bad. I love going before work. Makes me happy to start my day.
-
Drink water more consistenly throughout the day prior to running? You might have already been in a mild state of dehydration before you even ran and then running just made it worse.
-
Add me too :) I've been doing crossfit for about 6 weeks now and I love it. For the jump rope adjusting - you can tie knots in it near the handles until it become short enough. And I'm an Aggie too. For sure not a 2%er with crossfit :)

Well I don't know what is happening but I hope it happens to me ;-) It is weird though. The more weight I lose the less boobs I have. Guess you are just lucky?

Here's a good link with 10 of the best ab exercises. The bicycle really is a good one. http://exercise.about.com/od/abs/ss/abexercises.htm I know how you feel. My stomach is my problem area too and I just can't seem to get it toned the way I want it. I've heard diet has a lot to do with it and I am a carb/sugar addict so…

Hey guys, I'm getting married August 2nd. I've already lost about 30 lbs over the past two years and now have 10 more to go. My dress fits but if i breath it may bust and I really don't want to have to get it let out. Good luck to all of ya'll with your weddings/weightloss. :-)
