What is up everybody?
I am so excited to discuss how week 1 went. It definitely had it's ups and downs. YOWZA! But I feel it was a success toward my goals.
How did the week go?
Well, there were a lot of stressors. My grandmother had a heart attack. My youngest daughter got strep and now the big kid has it. Oh the live of a parent. But I didn't let it get in the way of my goals. I stuck to my diet and still exercised. I didn't get to make it to CrossFit as often as I would like but I still got up an exercise.
Like exercise experts have said time in and time out, it is hard to get started but once you do you get addicted. This is soooooo true. That is how I feel about my CrossFit. Holy shit, it is intense. Every classes pushes me outside of my comfort zone. I love the realization of how strong I am. It is exciting. I have to say that I was impressed with what I accomplished yesterday. I did a 5k on the row machine. Yes, I said row machine. My shoulders are hating me today because of it. It was SO HARD. I did it under thirty minutes which I wasn't sure I was able to do. Well, I did it in 29 minutes and 30 seconds. My fellow CrossFitter cheered me on. That was awesome in the homestretch.
Below is a picture of me doing my thing.


My CrossFitter peeps. They ran a 5k that day. We all pushed to complete it under 30 minutes.
Since I am an absolute dork, I like to post pictures of me exercising. I think it is the accountable thing. I don't know. But below is some more pictures.

I love living by a lake. I walk down from my house and to the path. It is so refreshing to escape into nature. When I am walking, I listen to my pandora mix (which is bipolar at times) and clear my mind. I tend to come up with story ideas when I am walking. Not everybody can do CrossFit but walking is a great form of exercise. So get out and walk. Hit those steps.
I have some exciting news to tell you. I had my weigh in today. I AM DOWN FIVE POUNDS. I was so darn excited to step on the scale today. I know the scale does not tell you your fit level but something about that number and seeing it goes down, is a fantastic feeling.
How did I do this?
Well, I watched everything I ate. I tracked all my foods in my FIT BIT. It kept me accountable. I would like to note, that I was by no means perfect this week. I did have one hiccup. I had a mini peanut butter cookie dough master blaster from Sonic on Friday. My daughter wanted ice cream, so grandpa brought us ice cream. Beer and ice cream our my weaknesses. Despite me having this hiccup, I still counted for it. This is keeping me accountable. Yeah, I felt bad about having it but I didn't give up the next day. With my diet plan, I do allow myself one free day. What do I mean by free? One day not to track my foods. One day to enjoy some of the foods I would normally not have. Everything is in moderation. This helps keep sane. If you follow me on Facebook, I tend to post picture of my foods. YES, I am that person. This is the dietitian in me. I love healthy foods. Why not share them with the world, right?


The picture above is what I demolished after my workout today. While the family had spaghetti with actual noodles, I replaced my noodles with spaghetti squash. I had very little sauce and of course my standard 4 oz of meat.
The other picture is just my goofy self loving my food. Chicken, cauliflower rice and sweet potatoes are my thing right now. However, I need to start changing it up soon. I don't want to get bored because that is where trouble can occur.
In nut shell, my first week was a success. I can't wait to see what week 2 has in store for me. I started it off right. Eating good, nutritious food and got in my CrossFit workout.
Until we chat again. PEACE OUT MY PEEPS.
Kris
