After watching Fawn's video on FB, which by the way was frickin' awesome-only a person who does kb's can TRULY understand HOW hard that is. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna go out and think, "hey, I can do that". hahahahahaha-guess what??? I CAN'T!!!! But I did do the double snatches with the 12kg's. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD that was truly an ass-kicker for sure! Squeaked out 15 reps of dbl swings to dbl snatch. First time ever doing a dbl snatch. OMG, my love for this evil hunk of iron or whatever it is grows more and more each day!! After the dbl snatches, I was so pumped and HAD to do more, so I cranked out 5R/5L snatches w/16kg for 15 rounds! 150 snatches with that big bitch-I need to buy a 20kg! hahahahahahaha, great, poor Jeff...now I'm all giggly today! Amazing what a PR does to the mind!<br />Yeah, I think my "second half of life" is going to be great! <br />Have a great weekend!

Right now I like the amount of food I eat, I always love the kinds of foods I eat, so right now, what I weigh, and the size I am is, what it is.<br /><br />I've got some fitness goals that I'm working towards, and the body, shape, size and weight will follow.....it has to.Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-67252203552961044542009-11-20T07:41:49.011-08:002009-11-20T07:41:49.011-08:00Diana,

(If you haven't been doing much double 12kg's, then you should add that one in!....Those are real ass-kickers, especially 20 reps or more!)<br /><br />Anyway, being able to afford anything I want is only true because the only things I "want" are the things I can afford....do you get it? So you next sentence is correct...."I already have everything I could ever imagine!"<br /><br />I think maybe, if we are smart enough, sometime after the age of 40...."the second half of life" is when we recognize that we do in fact get that 2nd chance.Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-73474062132551196272009-11-20T07:35:33.222-08:002009-11-20T07:35:33.222-08:00Amber,
As I said in the last part of this blogpos...Amber,<br /><br />As I said in the last part of this blogpost...."I'll keep showing up"<br /><br />I mean, of course, that I'll keep showing up for my workouts...but it also applies to showing up for my blog. Even though I hear blogging is "over", and, I admit, can be a "black hole". sucking out energy and not really giving any back.<br /><br />But anyway, let's get back to showing up for workouts.....<br /><br />In one of my Bikrams yoga classes there is a woman who has started practicing about 2-3 months ago. She comes practically everyday....and she only has one leg! After the standing series, as the rest of the class lays down in Savasana, she removes her prosthetic leg, covers it with a towel, and finishes the class.<br /><br />In Spinning class, there was a woman next to me, bald from chemo, but Spinning away.....<br /><br />Kettlebells, Crossfit, Yoga, Spinning.....keep showing up people! There are many things we feel as if we can't control, but in the mean time.....Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-64439695790890088452009-11-20T05:46:13.802-08:002009-11-20T05:46:13.802-08:00Tracy, Thanks for your post!

Now I am in a size 6-8 and still working getting on getting back into my 2s and 4s. You are truly an inspiration and you look amazing!

I've been reading your blog for a while now, as I'm going through my own journey doing crossfit and moving more from sitting behind a desk to being a fitness professional. I hate how numbers can make us feel worthless (weight)sometimes, and at other times empowered, like when we can pull a PR off the floor, or get a few more swings of the KB out. Be easy on yourself, you are an inspiration :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05337269447272477471noreply@blogger.com
