Part of what I love about crossfit is that, normally, it is a mix of weight lifting and body weight exercises. I need to get better at body weight exercises, but weight lifting makes me feel like I don't suck all the time, since, in general, I'm stronger than most other people, but given my extra weight, I suck at body weight stuff. (I weight about 80lbs over my 'ideal' weight.)

Sadly, the "at home" workouts assume, rightfully, that you don't have much spare or much equipment, so it's been almost entirely body weight exercises, with the addition of a light weight. This is driving home to me how important the addition of weight lifting into the mix is. It's kind of demoralizing and frustrating how bad I am. I was never very good at the workouts, but at least I could have the consolation prize of throwing 100+ pounds of barbell around, no problem.

It feeds into my "I'm bad at everything," issue. I did get to borrow a bar, so once I'm 100% from this cold and neck pain I had, I will get back to throwing it around.
