The Change Continues

I accomplished all three goals last night. The nice thing about cooling a Paleo dinner is that there are always left overs. Most of the recipes serve 4-6. Since it's just me and Tim I get lunch/snack for the next day. Sometimes I get lunch/snack for two days.

I did great on yesterday's WOD.
5 Rounds - 500 m. row, 15 Dead Lifts #bw
I didn't do my body weight but I did do 95#. The weight will come but today was about doing it correctly. I can dead lift 195# but not 75 times.

I did OK on eating yesterday had some cake that I made. Ti's sitting in our fridge. Should not have had it because it does not being me closer to my goals. (Stupid cake.) So today is a new day. I'm prepared with my awesome food. Leftovers, salad and some new dressing. Got my water right next to me. I'm good to go today.

Today's Goals:
1.Eat clean all day today. No cheats.
2.Cook my planned dinner.
3.Spend 30 minutes picking up the house today.
4.Crush today's WOD.

Getting Back on Track

I have been a little busy with you know...life! But I'm needing some accountability and I think this is the right place to get that. So first thing is first, an update!

Crossfit is going awesome! I feel stronger and more fit then I ever have. I still haven't got that pull up but I'm so close. I'm hoping that I will get it today.


I also bought a new dress in a size Medium!!! Whoot whoot!!! I was so excited that I wore it for my birthday dinner with Tim.



Food was going great for a while but then my birthday came around and you can't celebrate without food. Everyone wanted to take me to dinner/go have drinks. I didn't want to be rude so I went. And I paid for it. I felt like crap and I could totally feel it in my workouts. I have also been a little depressed about my current employment situation and the fact that my husband and I are going to have to stay in our house longer than we are wanting to. (Stupid economy.) SO I take comfort with food. I'm trying not to but it is proving to be hard. Bread is killing me right now. I'm also not as prepared as I usually am. I haven't planned out dinners for this week at all and that is where I get in trouble. I make enough at dinner so I have left overs the next day for lunch. But because I haven't been making dinners I'm scrambling for lunch. I'm trying to make good choices, (like chicken breasts) but I'm just not feeling full. I need to eat more veggies for sure and more fish oil. I need to fix this problem a.s.a.p. To do that I need a plan.
Today I'm going to:
1.Use my lunch break to plan meals for the rest of the week Tuesday-Sunday
2. After Crossfit tonight I'm going to go to the store and pick up groceries.
3. When I get home I will make dinner and spend 30 minutes picking up/cleaning the house.
I think that doing these things will make me feel better and make me feel like I have a little control over my life. That is important to me because there are quite a few things that I have no control over. (Which is annoying to me.)

On a different note: One of the owners of my box made it onto the CrossFit website. Isn't this picture amazing!? Her name is Erin LaVoie and she is super awesome. Not only as a person but as a CrossFitter. CFHQ sent out a film crew to film her and our box. They are going to do several videos and hopefully I'll make it on there. ;)
