Started Crossfit on-ramp Monday night and attended the second session tonight. Monday we reviewed ring rows, push ups, air squats and burpees. Tonight we went over wall balls, the back squat, using the foam roller and some fitness stuff. No real hard workout yet. Toughest part of tonight was 30 wall balls. I did mine in about a minute but my form sucks. 


One of the instructors wanted me to go with a narrower stance when squatting but I'm sticking with my wide(ish) sumo stance.


I could not believe how effective the foam roller is! Holy crap it made me gasp for breath it hurt so bad. Gotta get me one of those.


I'm thinking I'll try going back to Viv's kettlebell class tomorrow. 

Well, I've been back in New York since March 7th. While it feels great to be back and working at Genius Industrial Solutions, I managed to pack on ~35 lbs since the 1st of the year. Dear God.


I haven't been back to kettlebell class yet, but I anticipate doing that soon. I had my first session this past Friday with a trainer and she is going to help me me with diet and workout planning. Here is her website. Judy would like to see me on the paleo diet, which is a nice coincidence because I am starting the crossfit on-ramp session on Monday.


Judy measured my RMR at ~ 3100 kCal/day which surprised the hell out of me. Just goes to show how badly I was overeating to pack on that much weight so quickly. 


Not much else to report. Will check back in soon.
