muscle loss...
so i've had a few people comment since i got here that i look pretty thin.
first of all.. HA! that's a joke. second of all....
i actually have lost weight, and for once.. i'm not all that pleased about it.
since leaving kansas city i've only gotten to train a handful of days, and to be perfectly honest, i think i'm seeing the number on the scale go down because i'm losing some of my muscle.
this annoys me to no end.
SO, i'm publicly declaring that I WILL start strength training on my own at the gym (crossfit here in austin is a fortune. i love it, and i'm going to do as many of the workouts i can on my own, but lets face it... $220/month is beyond insane. i'm just sayin.) and tonight i WILL figure out my training schedule for the weetle bitty race i have coming up called a HALF IRONMAN!!!
i really just need to figure out some places to ride down here. like now. like right this minute get up off my ass and do it.
so.. that's what i'm gunna do.
check back in the next couple of days and ride my ass until i post my schedule, would ya?! cuz if i'm not working... there's no excuse not to be training!
Comments

$220 a month??? For a pull- up bar?? That is a major rip off for something that can be done so easily at home or outside. For that much, they had better do the workout for me!

I felt that way about crossfit in Columbus. I thought you must have been an heiress or something to afford it all. :)

Check out monkey bar gym. Free workouts similar to crossfit, but free, and way cool. I use them for cross training alot.
