Day...Ummm...I've lost track!!

Well, well, well...Blaine, the owner of my box, blew me up today LOL!! I've been scheduling my times to go to the box well ahead of time, but I've had to cancel some days...So, Blaine suggested that I do M, W, F, for now just to help be build consistency. Then once I feel up to it (hopefully once I decide if I'm gonna continue after my 3 months are up) I'll up it to 4 days. I really like it and I wanna be successful, but I'm not going enough days right now! Plus I've gotta start doing other workouts in addition to the crossfit!

I've also gotta do other workouts after crossfit days and on my other days! I got on the scale this past Sunday and doggoneit, the scale read 198lbs (I think) But thank goodness today after crossfit it's gone back down some...just to 195lbs. I'm not focused on the pounds but more about inches. I've read that people will gain weight first because they're gaining muscle...but after about 2-3 mths the pounds started coming off because they build muscle and the muscles burn more calories than fat! Fat sucks!!!!

Now I've gotta decide if I'm gonna go thru with finally doing paleo or not! I bought a book from amazon the other day. It's primarily a cookbook and the recipes seem pretty good. I tried to make a recipe from a book I borrowed from the library, and I REALLY didn't like it...YUCK!!! It looked good when I was reading the ingredients but ewww....!! However, I'm gonna put my best foot forward and go at it, at least, 80%!

So, until tomorrow!!

Still going at it!!

I don't like the way my body is looking!! I've been doing crossfit for about a month and a half and I haven't seen ANY results!!! My butt feels a little less jiggly, so I guess that's a plus!

I know that I really need to push myself harder during my WODs and burn more calories!! I'm not going to the box as often as I need to, but that's gonna change this week!

I went to the box today without Jennifer, but I did very good considering there were damn burpees once again!! UGHHHHHHHHHH!!! Oh how I hate burpees...especially the crossfit kind LOL!!

I don't want to do crossfit to lose weight or inches! i ultimately wanna get stronger...and..if I drop some sizes in the mean time, I'm all for it!!  The only person who's gonna by my cheerleader and motivate me is ME!!!
So, starting today, I'm gonna move my butt more and get this fat off of me!! I gotta look more at the bigger picture which is me getting HEALTHY and getting rid of my belly fat!!! I saw a post on a message board yesterday and the post said don't worry about "pounds lost" but "FAT LOSS"!!!

Tomorrow is a new day!! Let's go!!

Day 12

Dammit!!! I haven't lost any inches or any pounds!!! It sucks, but I'm gonna keep pushing thru and push myself a helluva lot more than I have been! 

Today was kinda rough...it was another 400m run today. I finished my WOD in 11:59 which really sucks!
But, no matter what, I still finished

Day 11

Today's WOD:

Warmup was 5 Pwr Cleans
                     5-10 assisted pullups
                     3 rounds

WOD
18-15-10 Thrusters (c&j w/o jumping)
36-30-24 Situps

I finished the WOD in 8:34

My shoulders were hurting me pretty badly during the WOD today. I did something to it this afternoon when I was getting ready to go to the box. I think it happened when I was pulling the trash around for trash day tomorrow. When I got home, I put on an ice pack then took a pretty hot shower. Now I'm relaxing and trying to keep it moving so it won't get stiff! I don't know if I'm gonna go to the box tomorrow. It's gonna primarily depend on how my shoulders are feeling tomorrow afternoon.

I asked Nik about paleo and where to get more info about it. She suggested tri-paleo.com. I think Nik, Mo, and Blaine's wife created the website. I'm very interested in changing my eating so I can get better results. Nik said the best way to start paleo is to first eliminate sugar for a week...then eliminate grains. She doesn't recommend the Zone because people weren't losing enough weight on it. So I'm gonna try to go out to the cookout they're having Saturday so I can get a little more info on paleo. She said she and Mo offer nutrition counseling but I'm pretty doggone sure that's an additional fee...but if I really plan to get serious about Crossfit, then I've gotta get serious about my eating too!!

Until tomorrow!!

Day Ten!!!

Well, since this is the first day of my 2nd month, I've decided to really PUSH myself!!! Today was rough!!!
Hmmm...let me see if I can remember...We had 2...count 'em, 2...WODs today...not a pre-WOD then WOD but TWO WODs!!! Lemme see, we had to do pullups...but of course, mine were modified knee to the chest pullups...did that for 10mins AMRAP (as many reps as possible)...NOw that was the warmup; then the first WOD was a 400m run then 10 burpees...2 rounds!! Then the 2nd WOD was 7 clean & jerks 14 front squats and finally a 200m run AMRAP...Shoot, i could only do 3 rounds in 10mins!! I was using 25lb weights on each side of, I think, 20lb bar, so that's 45lbs, right?!?! Oh well, that's pretty darn good!
But I'm gonna ask Mo or Nik tomorrow how to know which bar to use and how much it weighs.

Until tomorrow!!

Day Nine

Today's WOD seemed a little lighter than normal!! Deadlifts, then 4 rounds of 15 kbs, 6 pushups, and 8 pullups...I finished in 6:34! I used 26lb kettlebell...I think next time I'll use the 35lb one...maybe!!
Jennifer finally started today!! So now I've got somebody other than Joel to do the workouts with me! He sucks!!! He bought the groupon and he's been going 2 days a week, but for some reason, he's not going this week smh!! LOL!!

I don't feel that I'm seeing any results so far! This is my 4th week and I've got 8 more weeks to go! I've gotta get my eating in check and go to the box more than 3 times a week! Sure, I gotta stay off that doggone scale, but it's kinda hard because I need some type of measurement. But I did my measurements last week So I posted them in a previous post. Now I need to put the dayum scale away and focus on the way my clothes fit! And right now, I haven't seen any change! Doggoneit!! But I'm not giving up!! I gotta stop thinking I'm gonna see fast, instant, results! At the end of the day, all I can say is I tried and I didn't give up!!

I'll be back tomorrow!!

Day eight was yesterday!!

I was too pooped to write a post, so I'm writing today!! It was a pretty good workout but I didn't push myself as hard as I should've!

Anyhoo...this is the end of my first month and I'm soooo ready to go into the 2nd mth which will start on Monday woohoo!!! I've been thinking about seriously and honestly trying paleo eating. I've been looking on Pinterest for 30 day paleo challenges but I can't see to find any :-( But I'm gonna check the library again and borrow some paleo books. My birthday is next Friday, but I'm planning to start paleo on sunday coming up. I've gotta get something going and finally stop procrastinating and lose...this....freakin'....weight!!!!!!
And get stronger....and get slimmer, and be healthier....because that's the most important thing!! :-)

I'll be back tomorrow!!!
