Dear Journal
So tired today! I don't think I have completely recovered from the events of yesterday and I really
didn't sleep well last night. What does this equal? Shitty food choices :(
Unfortunately I did have a little too much carbs today. I also may have found a stash of easter eggs.
Good news is that I did not eat them all LOL
Tomorrow is a new day .... Gym tomorrow!

Eating Away From Home??
I really struggle with eating away... I try to bring my own snacks but there are times
where I will not be home to eat. What if we go out to dinner to someone's house.
What are my options?
Tonight I had pizza. I feel so bad for having it, but I just don't know how to turn away from
that when that is what everyone is having...
I think I have a lot more will power than I used to, but pizza?? Hmmmmm

Dear Journal...
Yummy breakfast this morning. Scrambled eggs with mushrooms :)
Weekends are a difficult time for me when it comes to food. I have been such an emotional
eater for so long that it is hard to break from that. I am not creative when it comes to food so
when it comes to snacks I usually stick with the same thing over and over again which then
becomes boring and I get tired of it. A horrible cycle.
Here is my list of things I am * trying to cut out right now
- Pop (haven't had any since Feb. 26th)
- Dairy (with a few exceptions i.e cream for coffee and milk for scrambled eggs)
- Bread
- white potatoes (going to switch to sweet potatoes)

No gym today .... I feel like I should be doing something though. I have challenged my kids to see who can do more sit ups and squats ... I really have a feeling that I will be the one stopping first HA
Okay so I have decided (with a little help from a few coaches ) to start keeping a food journal of EVERYTHING I am eating and drinking. I am going to say that this makes me a little nervous :( I have never been consistent at journaling but I am seriously motivated to changing my health!
New Goal
To make it up the mountain at the same pace as my kids and husband

Dear Journal
I am so not feeling the work outs this week. I am not sure what is going on. I FEEL like I should be able to give more, but my body is telling me I am doing too much.
I keep thinking too myself that at least I am going, and at least it is more than I have ever done.
I got home from work at 8am, had a banana and 1/4 of a cliff bar. Went to the gym, came home and had
3 turkey slices wrapped around a small slice of cheese and 1 hard boiled egg.
Going to bed now..
WOD
5 Rounds
400m Run ( I rowed 400m )
15 OH squats - 15lbs

SHOES 101
I am definitely not a shoe person. I wear the same shoes for almost everything. I am starting to quickly realize I may need to start worrying about my feet a little more.
To all you crossfitters - What shoes do you wear?

Loving these pictures... it is so strange but crossfit is all I seem to think about. I am constantly googling crossfit. I came up with these.

I am trying to find a balance on what I am eating. I have seen the dietician and she suggested I follow the diabetic food guide however after speaking to those who do crossfit and the coaches, they suggest more of a paleo type of diet. This is something incredibly new to me... I have spent a lot of time online researching it.
I have already changed the way I eat so much in the last three months. I have cut out 90% of junk food, stopped drinking pop (haven't had any since Feb. 26th) and cut down on unhealthy carbs. I also have upped how much water I am intaking.
All this advice is very conflicting. So I have decided to keep track and do whatever feels right. I am trying to take in a little of everyone's advice. For now. I need to find something that works for me.
For those who are looking for more information on Paleo this website is AWESOME
EVERYDAY PALEO
So here is what I have eaten today. I work midnights so it is difficult for me to track food, as I don't sleep a lot.
8am - Banana
10am - coffee
11am - 3 slices cheese wrapped in 3 slices of deli chicken
- 3 pieces of pineapple
1pm - 1 hard boiled egg
4pm - handful of mixed nuts
6pm - 1 cup of rice with 1 sausage and mixed peppers sauteed in salsa
SLEEP
11pm - Salad and 1 banana

So my last workout was Friday... it is Wednesday. Something came up for my workout yesterday and then today I was put on a waiting list for the only class I could attend. The coaches were great and gave me a workout I could do at home. I have to admit the idea of working out at home is not something I am very eager to see through. I am not sure if its just cause I am not feeling well and really tired, but I am slowly losing motivation to go... THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN!!
On a side note, my split jerk max was 75lbs. This is very exciting for me :)
GOAL #1 - to do 1 pull up!!
GOAL #2 - run 800m without stopping

A new Journey
Dear Journal
I started crossfit a few weeks ago. I have finished my second complete week! WOW is all I can say. I have never been so beat up in my life, and I have to say I am just starting to kind of like it.
I get a high after I am done the WOD, knowing that I did something better than I had done the day before.
And the support!!! Everyone is so amazing! I will be honest and tell you that I cried during my first two work outs... Not from the pain (which was horrible) but from the support that these ladies and men gave me.
I come home from every class and can not stop talking about crossfit! I am sure everyone around me are tired of hearing about it. So I have decided to start blogging about my journey. I am definitely not a writer so PLEASE don't search for spelling or grammar mistakes. If you don't like it, you don't have to read it!
So in three weeks I have lost 2.5 inches in my waist, 1 inch on my chest and an inch on my hips. I am down 7 lbs.
I will put up official stats later...
