God help me I’m trying and failing at it. Coming off the summer… the pregnancy debacle…. and the chaos that made my eating habits atrocious. I promised myself that I would clean up my eating habits. I did a green veggie cleanse/detox for 7 days. I almost and I mean almost didn’t make it through that one. I wanted to murder my husband. Then to top it off when I went back to check in with my nutritionist, she casually mentions I could have up to 4 oz of chicken a day! Ummm that would have made life more bearable if she would have told me BEFORE I did my cleanse. I’ll try the green veggie cleanse again in November. I will admit it led to shed 10 pounds of which I only gained two back when I was done with the cleanse. It wasn’t so bad except for the lack of energy from not consuming enough calories.
Still going to Crossfit 3 days a week. I can see that I’m getting stronger but I do underestimate how much weight I can handle and often finish too quickly. Some days its so hard to motivate myself to set foot into the box. But I paid good money to do so and I am not one to waste money. So far my PR for dead lifts is 215 pounds. I still struggle with any movements where the weight goes over my head. I can’t get myself to go that heavy. I really enjoy crossfit and I have to remind myself not to compare myself to others. Some people will progress faster than I and that’s ok. I’m doing great and doing what I can safely. So with just over an hour left for work, I’m damn full from lunch and wondering how I’ll fare this evening when I show up to Crossfit. I may or may not throw up. Wish me luck!
