Can't wait to get back!!

Holy Crap! Kristen is pregnant, & showing!  Awesome!!!Man I have been gone a long time.
Ok, back to me.  

Just in case you don't know, Crossfit helped me develop tendonitis in my right knee.  I tried to ignore it for a couple weeks, then I started to have trouble doing stairs.  So I stopped doing all things Crossfit that required knees.  So pretty  much I was limited to abs and shoulders.  I was determined to get a pull up by the time I turned 35.  Well I turned 35 on 8Sept, and I didn't get one.  I think cause I was focusing so hard on arms, I did something to my elbows.  It got so bad that driving and taking notes in class hurt.  I would come in and attempt one pull up and then they would hurt for 3 days.  So after taking two weeks off on my own, my doc told me to take 4 weeks off.  This is why I haven't been around all September.  Good news:
Due to physical therapy, and rest, my knee is better, i can walk stairs, I have tried squats at home and that is going well, though i am a bit nervous about lifting.  But I've gotta start since NAT BLEW EVERY RECORD I HAD. Damn it Nat!! Also due to rest and triflex, I think my elbows are good, they ache from time to time, but they haven't cause me significant pain for about a week.

So hopefully Oct will be my re-indoctination to Crossfit.  I am sooooooooo NOT looking forward to that first weeks muscle soreness.  I am sure it will be an absolute BITCH!  

As for my picture, I am now doing Clinicals in the Radiography program.  I am having a blast, I am doing great, and I absolutely love being the old lady in class that fucks up the grade curve! LOL. Oh Yeah, I think I had a midlife crisis!  The day I turned 35 and realized I am officially on the downhill slope to 40, so I chopped my hair completely off.  Never in my entire life have I had hair above my shoulders.  I love it, I hope you guys do to.  Even if you don't I am sure you guys love me enough to lie your asses off! LOL.  So my new "DO" was a self given present to myself for my birthday.

I have SEVERELY monitored my diet since taking my Crossfit-Break, so I have managed to maintain my weight.  I am still sitting about 154-156.  I just can't seem to get 150.  Hopefully when I get back to the gym, burning those extra calories, 150 will come soon.  

I miss you guys like crazy.  You'll know how I love to come in there and VENT, physically, and vocally:)

Anyways I can't wait.  I have too much going on this week, and next so I am planning to come in 3OCt in the afternoon.  So Dymphna, you have plenty of time to plan some medieval torture for me.

Hey TM, I have to say your hair looks great and you're face looks so thin! I'm glad you stuck to the AD while you recovered I was worried you would put back weight after all your hard work. Obviously that is not the case I am happy to see :) And well ease you back in slowly not too much torture. We have all missed you in the gym. I doubt you lost much strength well just have to take it easy on the elbows. I know I dealt with that when I was learning to kip. You're going to have to ice after every time you work on pull ups for awhile.
