So I have no more classes, and tomorrow is my final exam. Then I'm in limbo until I get my summer posting message. I probably won't be going anywhere until mid May though. I have no hobbies, my friends have all left town and my fiance lives four hours away. I don't know what to do with myself! I read Act of Valor, I enjoyed it and didn't really put it down but honestly it was pretty cheesy and poorly written. No offense to the writers, I don't think they stood a chance given the source and subject matter. I didn't have a book, what was I too do?
At 1:00 I went to an hour yoga class.
I was early and joined in the last fifteen minutes of a 'butts and guts' class, slipped in while they were taking a break and the instructor was fine with it. Skipping, squats, lots of stuff I like.
It was fun and I'll probably try and go a few times a week. In childs pose the instructor stood on my feet. I don't know why she did it. I love foot rubs and to be honest it felt awesome, but I burst out laughing (silently) but my body was rocking and I had a huge smile. I hope I didn't offend her, I was just caught off gaurd!
Afterwards I went to the weight room. Did a few sets of dumbell bench press. Some dumbell rows. Some pull ups. Some push press.
Got home, still bored.
Went to the 615 crossfit class. Same WOD as earlier, only this time I did Rx weight on the push press, 75lbs. It was much harder but I only added two-ish minutes to my time and I really didn't push myself as hard as I did the first time. I really loved todays WOD and was worth going twice!
Maybe I can keep this up? Who knows!

I'm on top of the world! A huge goal of mine was to RX a workout and I finally got it. What had been holding me back most often were the kettlebell swings, RX for women is almost always 16 and I just couldn't get it up. I tried before each workout to see if I could move up from my 12 and it never happened. I said this and went over and tried it today and BAM, first 5 were up and right. It was hard in the workout but not the hardest move by any means. I told myself once I RXed a workout I'd get a new t-shirt as a reward. Here are some of the ones I'm thinking about:

Life as Rx puking unicorn t-shirt
Lift Big Eat Bit t-shirt
Lift Big Eat Big Hoody
There are a couple on zazzle too but I can't figure out how to put the pictures up here. Least of my worries! Hope you all are enjoying your Friday as much as I am :)
