Monday I did my first crossfit workout! I've wanted to for a long time, and finally did (thank you l Living Social!) Compared to the classes I teach, this was totally different. Both are amazing...just totally different. My shoulders and chest are still sore, four days later! I was very proud of myself at Bob Evans because I was good and only had a salad...and a healthy one at that! I really wanted the cinnamon till thing that was only 99-cents, but I stayed strong and didn't cave!
I was pretty lazy the rest of the afternoon, and napped in the chair while watching The Voice. Had my Greek yogurt w/berries as a snack. Later had my first quest bar...not the best-tasting protein bar ever, but to be all-natural, gluten-free, high fiber, no sugar, and high protein, I guess I get why they're so popular. They were on sale at GNC so I bought a few. Went to body jam ...finally!!! It's been so long. It was a blast as always, and I took two friends that had never done it, and of course they thought it was the greatest thing ever! (You're welcome!)
Made nachos with party leftovers, and omg they were amazing. Not the healthiest in the world but at least with all the cheese, but & sour cream, but they were loaded with protein and man did they hit the spot!
Tuesday I fasted until 2 pm because I waited for Steve so we could eat lunch together. If I'm able, I like stretching my fast out longer to reap more of the benefits. Had Subway, and for the first time ever, ordered a salad instead of a sandwich. Double chicken for the extra protein...although NOT as fan of subway chicken"product", whatever it is. At 4 I had my pre-workout snack: Ezekiel bread, toasted, w/natural PB & honey and a protein shake (EAS lean chocolate) . Taught Body Pump (which kicked my area! Gotta get more than one a week in!). For supper, Steve grilled chicken breasts and we made steamed potatoes & green beans in a rosemary butter sauce (it was a green giant microwave bag....I don't get that fancy with my cooking!). Made Pasta Roni for them, but I skipped those. Avoiding white carbs, and no cardio today either. Steve made his amazing Cinnamon Crunch Popcorn which I did eat to much of, but in total for the day I still did well.
Yesterday I went back to crossfit, so I ate pre-workout oatmeal w/spends Brown sugar, cinnamon, walnuts, and mixed berries and a protein shake (EAS vanilla) . Ok people, I'm in pretty decent shape, but this totally destroyed me! Hardest 20 minutes of my life. I LOVED IT!!! The gym owner even asked me to be part of their team for competitions....flattered and would love to, but I don't see how I could fit that into my life...trading training 5x/wk.... it! Didn't get to eat lunch till 2:30, but made the most wonderful meal of scrambled eggs with cheese, sour cream, black beans, and private sauce. Yum! And toast. As exhausted as I was, I still had to go to Combat tho, as it was Julia's last day before she moves to Idaho! :( by the end of combat I was TOTALLY wiped. Made pancakes& bacon for dinner (one of our faves). Then Steve and I went over to Lindsey & Julia's to hang out for a bit and say our goodbye's. Had a couple beers and pb rice krispie treats (yummy!). Passed OUT at 10:30...so tired!
Oh! I went downtown yesterday morning for my pre-employment health assessment and their scale said 143! What?!! Usually I'm much heavier on those doctor scales....knowing it was probably wrong, I didn't care. Still made me feel good!
Not sure if this picture I tried to load will turn out, but wanted to share my progress. From Oct to now I'm down over 10 lbs and 2% body fat, and am starting to see the changes in my body! Definitely helps keep me motivated to keep tabs on myself, and especially knowing I'll be sharing all my dirty details with you all!
Girls night tonight...wish me luck!!!!!
