I did try and post yesterday, but it booted out again. Something about my session time had run out.
I received the new DVDs (to my suprise) and I couldn't not do at least one.
Yesterday I previewed CrossFit and did it. I really liked it. For me I don't love a workout right away because I have to be to "nail it". I can't ever do that on the first time. The Tabata was pretty hard cause 10 sec. goes by too fast. I hung in there and completed it. I am also a bit suprised I am not sore

After completing Crossfit I came to the realization that I believe I am in the best shape of my life thus far. Yes I still have a belly, no I am not at the weight I would like to be (within 3-5 lbs.) But I feel rock hard (except for the belly which is Jello) and I'm proud. The check-in with you guys has helped me stay on track. Thank you guys. I hope the check-in has added something positive to each of your lives also.
I finished planting the garden also

. Parsnips, kolarhabi, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, beets, lettuce, swiss chard, kale, zucchini, sugar snap peas, pumpkins, corn, and green beans. Now just have to wait and see if there is enough time before fall hits. I super jazzed because are raspberries are coming in nicely. We will miss part of the harvest, but there will be plenty when we come home. We will also miss the last of the strawberries
Nat - I hope you get your DVDs soon. I can't wait to talk with you about them. In Crossfit after the first Tabata set, Cathe was hilarious. She said something about doing side steps to reduce your heart rate and then she says I dont care what you do. The way she said it was like how I talk to my kids in the middle of a workout. It struck me as so funny, I had to laugh even though I was so out of breathe.
I hear you on the fireworks Jen. We slept with all the windows shut last night. Luckily it's not nearly as bad out in the country as it is in the city. My dog was great though
