AAAAAAARRRGH!!!

So this last week and a bit have more then just a little frustrating. For the first time ever since I started crossfit I felt like I had an unjury of some sort. My shoulders have been quite sore. Not a good sore like you get from a hard workout. A bad sore like there may be some damage to a ligament. To top it off My wife and daughter are both sick, our primary babysitter is out of province ,our secondary sitter is has a medical issue and has been in and out of the hospital. So in comes the back up. Who can come in for the while I'm working. Unfortunately I can't stay after work for a work out because I am also their transport home.

A couple more weeks like this and I will be back to being the skinny fat guy I was was a year ago.

The other day I did pushups, at a controlled pace for reps with out much of a warmup. I got 26. Wow thats bad. So after a few more exercises I tried again. This time I went at about 95% speed and got 32. Better but still bad. I'm a little curious as to why a few months ago I would be able to 40+- and now not so much. At any rate I have a PT test coming up in May. It involves pushups, 'curlups', and sit and reach stretch and a mile and a half run. Scoring is dependant on your age group and gender. A certain number of points are assigned based on the how well you did. Last year the push ups and curlups were perfect; the sit and reach was horrible as I am about as flexible as a steel rod. On the run I needed 9:21 I think for perefct, and I got 9:30. With this mind I will continue to do crossfit but I will ensure I have maintained my perfects and improved my others.

It is hard to stick to a diet that your significant other has no interest in. I buy the groceries so it should be no problem. But if I don't buy what she wants then she'll go out and get whatever it she was looking for. And it typically involves lots of refined carbs and/or unhealthy fats.

Perhaps I should change the name of my blog.

PS I hate shoveling snow.
