Crossfit

Well it has been a long hiatus, but I officially got the OK to start working out again. Not going to lie, I was EXTREMELY nervous. I felt like I was going to throw up before I started my first workout.

I continued Crossfit through my second trimester, and then stopped when I had the sciatica nerve pain at the beginning of my 3rd trimester in April, and then in May I had to stop everything all together.  When Eli was 2 months, I was able to walk short distances.  So needless to say, the last time I truly worked out feels like ages ago.

Luckily I have the best coach.  Jaime is amazing and is helping me ease back into everything - physically and mentally.  It is definitely mentally challenging when your "used to be" warm up weight is now your max and so difficult to complete.  However, we are getting there and each time I feel like we are getting better and better. 

The best coach Ever!!  Watch out y'all - she's already qualified for Nationals in Olympic Lifting.  I only train with the best of the best :)

 My new early morning group - Sarah, Caroline, and Cheryl.  They were probably wondering who this new girl is taking pictures after the first workout - (I know, so weird and random), but I had to prove that I was back. They were troopers --Thanks ladies for letting me join your group!  And P.S. - I like how I still tried to pose after a crossfit workout.  There is no way to look good when you are gross and sweaty!

 

I was scrolling through Derek's phone and found some honeymoon pictures.  My jaw hit the ground!!  This is my goal and motivation -- we are going to get back to this soon.  I look at this picture all the time, plus it reminds me of our lovely time in Belize.  Here we go!
