Notes:
Wow! I was really hoping it wasn't this bad. 280 is just crazy. It's no wonder I have no endurance at crossfit right now. Even with rowing, which isn't especially body weight driven, my endurance is just horrible and I have to think that it has everything to do with my body weight. Actually, considering how heavy I am, it's surprising how much endurance I do have.
Starting today, Sunday, and ending on May 2, Saturday, is exactly 6 weeks. The goal is to drop 15 pounds during that time period, or 2.5 pounds per week. That's a lot. On the other hand, I think I dropped weight at some level like that way back when I first started crossfit 5 1/2 years ago. Given where I am, the first 15 pounds should come off easier. Once I reach that target weight, I will reset my goal.
What I need to keep in mind is that the ultimate goal is to feel better, to have more energy. A secondary goal is to look better should I happen to land a job interview.
By the end of April, if I've hit my target weight, I should notice that my workouts are becoming more fluid, though I will still be slower than almost everyone else. My row times should get a lot better though. Overall though, I probably shouldn't worry too much about my endurance being crap, since for the foreseeable future, that's pretty much how it's going to be.
