Day 17...'Fight Gone Bad'

Great day today; went to Ft. Belvoir in Virginia, where we’ll be moving in the near future, to look around and visit. It will be nice to actually live on a post instead of where we do now! It looks really nice and the new hospital is HUGE! We will also be getting a 5 bedroom house so that will be a long time coming and such a blessing!!! We had 2 kids when we moved here and into our small 3 bedroom apartment…now we have 4 and have absolutely NO space left!!!
Its way more ‘country’ also…we are not city folk and will be very happy to be leaving D.C.
So, this morning we decided to do a Crossfit WOD and a benchmark one at that…we tackled Fight Gone Bad which is… Three rounds of: Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps), Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75, pounds (Reps), Box Jump, 20" box (Reps), Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps), Row (Calories)  (In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute of work. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.)
Our Rep's were: Jen- 195   Joshua- 258     Rob- 283
It was quite intense and I literally almost threw-up afterwards…I think we all did!  Jen and Joshua scaled to 45lbs for the lifts and an 8lb ball for the wall ball. I did RX’d
Our plan yesterday worked as well. We both dropped a pound each this morning…WoooHooo!  I do wonder though how much more weight I’ll actually lose. I know I still have body fat that needs to be burned, but I’ve gained muscle and have leaned out quite a bit already! Jen is leaning out as well, but I think she has a bit more ‘actual weight’ she’ll be losing. she has and is firming up real nicely though : )))
Either way, we are super stoked and thrilled with our results thus far! We will take progress pictures again tomorrow or Monday. Got to go catch up on school now so till next time…
Keep working hard!
Blessings!
