Jen's 1st post.

Well....I decided it was time for me to start posting my own work outs. I was sick with strep throat this week...so it had been a week since I worked out. I missed it.
So I also did the Cross Fit warm up, followed by the WOD for Wednesday and Thursday. I modify some things to fit the level that I'm at. For example, I do "girl push-ups" instead of regular push-ups and I do jumping/negative pull-ups for regular pull-ups. I can do a good amount of girls push-ups, so I think I must be getting close to real ones. I'm going to try next time we work out. I need to lean down more and get a lot stronger before I can do pull-ups. They are tough!!
For the lifts today, I started with just the 15lb bar...to get the technique down, then moved to 25lbs. Still pretty light for me, but I'm starting slow. I want to feel comfortable with all the lift techniques first. (Two rounds for me today) I then completed 4 mins. of pull-ups. Strength wise I could of kept going, but my hands were KILLING me!! I need to build up my calluses again. Overall it was a good work out. I feel stronger...but I know I have a long way to go. Looking forward to the journey! :-)
I'm liking the idea of more ladies posting on here. Lorrie, Marilyn, Matt.....get your wife on here too! :-) It's a fun and motivating way to keep in touch.
HAPPY 4th EVERYONE!! ~Jen
