Thanks.  I *was* strong.  My DL, squat and bench are pretty sad right now compared to what I was lifting.  But I'll get it back.  Slow and steady wins the race right?

No, Nav wins the race, but I'll give you a head start.  Welcome back and good on you for picking your pack up and truckin on.

RIP 2004-2007

Friday 10/13 - Cardio
Couch to 5K, week 1, session 1.   Those jogging intervals kicked my butt!  Hard to imagine I could be running 5K in 9 weeks. 

Saturday 10/14 - Push
Flat BB Bench Press (w/u 37lbs 2x12) 50lbs 1x10, 2x12
Standing BB Mil Press 37lbs 3x10
Skull Crushers 32lbs 3x10
 
My 5yo decided he needed to do skull crushers, so I set him up on the bench with a plastic baseball bat as a bar.  He had terrible form.   Need to work on that. 

Week 1 Results -3.8 lbs

Good luck Jenn. I love the couch to 5K idea and I know you'll be able to do it. Ashley told me that she feels recovered enough to try and start doing Crossfit with me this week. If you think you might like to work in a session or two (your place or mine) sometime, let me know.

Boy, I guess I would have no excuses when the 4w postpartum woman can do crossfit and I am too scared to try it.   I'll keep my eye out for an easy day.  lol
 
Sunday 10/15 - planned day off
 
Monday 10/16 - Unplanned day off (doh!)  Ill timed meetings and a marked lack of naps from the baby made it so I couldnt even find 30 mins to get a workout in.  I felt crappy too.

Squats (w/u 37lbs 2x12) 65lbs 3x10
SLDL 55 lbs 3x10

Week 2:  No weight change.  Trying to tell myself that I am gaining muscle and loosing fat, no biggie, don't get discouraged.  My diet was not totally clean this week, too much stress so I snacked a lot.  So this week I am back to inputting everything in fitday and watching my calories and ratios.
