One day down.... however many more days I will be blessed with in my lifetime to go!
It's day two and I feel good today. Wait, that's a big. fat. lie. I feel miserable. I'm sore as H. E. Double Hockey Stick! Or like I was beaten with hockey sticks! Or like I fell down on the ice! Or... Where was I going with this again?
Right, I'm sore. But other than my muscles, I feel great. I topped out at 1442 calories yesterday. I dont know how many I should be consuming a day at this point. More research is needed I guess.
Coffee/Creamer (45) *45*
High Fiber MBS Oatmeal (160) *205*
Hard boiled Egg (78) *283*
Trident Gum (5) *288*
Yes, I realize that today is shaping up to be like yesterday. But this is what I chose for breakfast, K? It was either that or the McD's drive through. And it works for me.

Good Day 1
It's a good day so far. I decided when I woke up this morning to take the pressure off myself and stop putting limits on what I can and cant do. What I can and can't eat. I can do whatever I want. I'm an adult.
I took my measurements and my weight. Good news in the measurement department. Not so good in the weight department. Still on an upwards climb!
JG says record record record. And I've been doing everything except recording. Maybe he has point in that success comes with keeping track.

It's 4:30 in the afternoon on day one of my Good Day 'lifette'. So far so good. The salad for lunch was okay. McD's is definately not known for their salads. I couldn't finish it. But I have enjoyed the fact that I don't have that insanely full feeling, where you feel like you can't breath or walk or do anything other than stare at the computer screen in a lazy blob. Maybe Crossfit will be easier tonight? Or I'll pass out from lack of food... Either way... I feel good. But the day is not over yet!

Fine
Wow, it only took me like 5 minutes to get over myself and stop wallowing in my self pity. All I had to do was read another crossfit blog.
Funny how that works?
I was quite proud of myself and my teammate last night. The WOD was killer and I'm feeling it today. Today I feel like I did the day after my first Crossfit workout. I know, yikes, right?
AMRAP ~ teams of 2, only 1 person going at a time
10 minutes of pushups (thats where the soreness if coming from)
8 minutes of squats
6 minutes of lunges
4 minutes of back extentions in the tractor tires (have you ever tried getting in and out of these things? I mean be fat and get in and out of these things?)
2 minutes burpees
DK was a rockstar. Sometimes I dont know where her energy and drive come from. The woman doesn't stop. We did equal everything which means we each pumped out over 135 pushups. Each! Granted, my pushups suck. But hey...
The other day was a home WOD day. I ended up doing two WODS back to back because I was having a bad day and because I felt like a loser by putting the one off.
And I capped the weekend by rollerblading with my foster dog. Ahhh, exercise... I've never loved it before.

Back
Yeah, yeah, I'm back at it. What. A girl can't take a little blogging break? Have you ever tried CrossFit? You wouldn't want to blog to nobody after getting your butt beat down either! Get off my back already!
Oh, I'm just kidding. I love CrossFit. I love CrossFit. I love CrossFit. Rinse and repeat.
The truth is, my coaches have started treating me like a real CrossFitter now. Which means that instead of 3 rounds of 5 squats, we're doing actual WODs and it's expected that we can complete them. And we can complete them. But I think I liked it better when everybody thought I could only do 15 squats.
I've been struggling. I have these tiny little revelations every other day or so where I feel like it's 'my time'. Its my time to succeed in this rediculous weight loss war that I've been fighting for the past decade of my life. I get done with a killer WOD and after knowing that I completely nailed it, I am making the long drive home with some good music on and I feel on top of the world. I feel like I can kick food's ass eat spinach for breakfast. But then I go to sleep and I wake up the next day and that feeling is gone. And I end up failing.
I feel good about what I've accomplished physically. My exercise program is amazing and I'm exercising 7 days a week. Crossfit WODs 4-5 days a week and I walk my dogs dang near everyday, but especially on my rest days. That part of the battle has been won. I love CrossFit and I will continue. But food is what is trying to knock me down.
Paleo. Zone. Primal. These are the recommended three. And I can't seem to stick with it for more than a few hours. I suck when it comes to dieting.
I think I have a food addiction. Shit.

New Path
It's no secret that I've been struggling these days. I've done nothing but gain weight since the beginning. But after Crossfit class last night, I sat and talked with one of the coaches and some of the girls and they helped me to bring some understanding to what was happening.
One of my other struggles has been my diet. But then I came across a posting by Crossfit Girls Miami about food addictions. Makes perfect sense to me, and it was enough to help me grasp my problem.
Everyday is a new path. Every day can either be a struggle or a success. I always seem to choose to struggle. *head shake*
I am carrying my food journal with me everywhere I go now, because if I dont write in it, I will be punished. K, thats not true. Haha. And I made a deal with a coworker that every time she sees me drinking a pop, I owe her $1. Pop is only a problem for me at work. Its a good arrangement.
And regardless of how anybody feels about it, I'm backing up to something that worked for me. The Herbalife regimine. I think that using it at least for a short time will help me to get over this nasty craving I have for aweful food until I can finally start craving the good stuff. It worked for me once, it will work for me again.
Thats all for now.
