Today's workout was probably the hardest workout in terms of the limitations that I had within the makeshift gym in the garage. Usual warmups then it was 5 rounds of 15 Ring rows, 155 pound Bench press of 15 reps, 225 pound Back squat 15 reps. However, I have no rings since my brother moved out and took the rings with him, and either way, I am not strong enough to do those yet so I substituted them with 15 regular dips with my feet on the floor. My brother sold the bench press so I couldn't do that either so I did upside down pushups with the 45 pound olympic bar sitting on the weight holder. I did back squats but I could only do 45 pound backsquats because my legs are still weak. I took about 35 minutes to finish the entire thing. I'm working on my strength which is getting better slowly. I also started on the CrossFit Paleo-Zone diet, which consists of blocks so I'm starting as a medium sized female. If any non-crossfitters are reading this, the diet is free online through crossfit.com and it really works. The last time I did this diet, I lost 5 pounds. Of course, I didn't stick with it because I also gave up CrossFit at that time. But I'm back now and it will take me a lot to quit again! :)
