I'm beat, and it's not from Crossfit

So this week was my first week trying to juggle two jobs. One at Maui County and the other at Maui College.

Today is only the second day but it feels like the fourth. Thank God for Crossfit.

I couldn't work out on Monday because . . . okay, scratch that. I DIDN'T workout because I wanted to watch the national championship game which I correctly predicted Auburn would beat Oregon.

But on Tuesday I was ready, and it was a great day to go. An 800 meter run, followed by sets of 12, 9, and 6 hang snatches and hanging pull-ups.

The hang snatches weren't bad at all, and the pull-ups were tough but I wasn't the only one having a hard time. By the time I got done with my last set of pull-ups I felt good to go on the run. I don't even think I was breathing too hard at the end.

And after the workout I took off my shirt and took some "before" pictures. We're doing a contest at Raw Fitness Maui which involves the Paleo diet. I jumped on a scale today for the first time and saw that I'm about 10 pounds lighter than I was when I started.

So here's hoping I stay the course and train hard. Because it's going to suck if my "after" pics look exactly the same.

Yeah yeah, and I'll post them up here at some point. Sheesh.
