Day 162 - resetting

Move part 2 is set to happen at the end of next month. Until then, I am left in this mostly wooded suburban limbo of long commutes with nothing to entertain myself with on the weekends. Perfect time to start adding in crossfit inspired home workouts, cleaning up my eating habits and recouping after a couple months of stress. Part of the beauty of crossfit is that the activities are meant to mimic natural movements, like squatting to pick something up or lifting an object. This also means a lot of the exercises are easily done at home with no special equipment.

Starting small during the week due to time and low energy level from illness, a few exercises on 1 muscle group per night. On the weekends, when it doesn’t matter if I wake up, workout, then go back to sleep, I will push things more. Sad that I am sore from the little I did last night, but I miss this type of pain. Sore muscles = accomplishment, moving forward, closer to my dream of looking like that comic book badass i have in my mind.

I’ve a new physical goal to add: in addition to unassisted pull ups (kipping is ok though), I want to be able to complete a round of handstand pushups. Why I am setting myself to fall straight onto my head, I’m not exactly sure, but the thrill of proving myself wrong about my physical abilities with the wall walk was an addictive one. I’d like for these to happen next year – hoping to start at another box at the end of this year.
