New Workout Records!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Fitness

I just hafta share here, I’ve been concerned that continuing to do my (heavy) CrossFit workouts with the addition of a couple hours a day of dog walking at a fast pace seemed just too much for this body.
Yet today - I set new records on a benchmark weightlifting workout. For those of you who [...]

Goals: Gotta Love ‘Em!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Goals

But the w8challenge idea is still working for me, and now I’m thinking up a new semi-longterm goal.
In a few days it will be eight months [...]

Finding Delita

Posted by: delitaagain In: Fitness

Whew. Yesterday I had such a breakthrough in my CrossFit workout that I am re-thinking everything about my goals.
I have only been a runner once in my life. At age 24, my husband and I both took lunch at work at the same time and met at the track to run 2 miles together. We [...]

Stir Up That Dream!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Goals

My top weight was 300 in July of 2004. Seven months later, down about 20 pounds, I saw a picture of a woman about age 57 wearing a red dress for *Wear Red Month* in a magazine. She looked so great! She looked like I wanted to look. I saved it a long time but [...]

Thanks to my back-from-Iraq son, I’ve done CrossFit two days this week and plan to again tomorrow. Currently I am *pleasantly* sore in arms and upper legs, a good place to be.
It is amazing how much of the ground I gained in the few months I did CrossFit is still hanging tough. I can still [...]

Hitting the Wall

Posted by: delitaagain In: Planning

Last week I was feeling great. This week, I hit the wall. Here is what I think happened and what I’ve done about it.
A couple weeks ago, I increased my calories from 1600 a day to 2000 a day, based on a weight loss plateau of about 17 days. I’ve had this problem before. If [...]

What’s All This about CrossFit??

Posted by: delitaagain In: Fitness

If you read me, you know I’m a little bonkers (in a good way) about my workout plan. CF works for any age or level of ability. CF grammas, CF Kids, amateurs, athletes, housewives, elite military, and, it can be done in any location. (Believe me, it’s been done). Alone or in CF gyms, hotel rooms or [...]

Starting Again, Again - CrossFit, Here I Come!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Fitness

Yesterday’s post really moved me. I believe that thought is going to change my life.
It has changed my life already! I decided that means I don’t need to be thinking about or struggling over starting back with CrossFit, but just start. Today. So I did.
Funny thing, it is a rest day. LOL I’ve started but [...]
