It's been a couple of days since I felt like doing a workout but I dragged myself into my CrossFit Gym today and I'm really glad I did. It was good to get in there and move some weights around, helped a lot with raising my spirits :)

Today we did more of an upper body workout focussing on chest and doing Bench Press. The main part of the workout consisted of 5 sets of Bench Press with 10 reps per set and the goal weight was 205 pounds which I though would be a lot of weight for me since I'm just a hair under 180 pounds right now. I got through the first 3 sets of 10 reps each without any assistance from my workout partner, but then on the last 2 sets I had to break up my 10 reps and get a bit of a spot on the last few reps.

I felt it was a really good workout and now I have something to work towards, all 5 sets of 10 reps on my own (50 reps total with no help)...
