It’s only Tuesday and my body is already like WTF. Last night’s workout was madness. Madnessssss!!! There was a 35 minute timecap, and I am proud to report that I got that shit done in just over 33 minutes. I did scale and I walked some of the running bc my heel was starting to talk, … Continue reading
Shaun’s visit was a massive amount of fun!! Was it compliant to my goals? Ummmmm…no. Let me just be honest about it. I had a little bit of sugar {and freaked out about it}, a little bit of wheat and maybe a glass of wine. And let me tell you, my body fully rejected it … Continue reading
Last week was both good and challenging. I am settling into a nice pattern with my workouts that look like this: Crossfit Monday and Wednesday; Kickboxing Thursday; running or walking everyday but Tuesday, and on the weekends I aim for 2 miles each day. My calves are getting tighter, so I need to stretch them … Continue reading
2014 was an interesting year for me, it taught me about my limits, tested my resolve, I learned a bunch of new recipes and I tried to transform my eating. I have to say I wasn’t prepared for the push-back I got from my body with all its injuries and that was tough for me. … Continue reading
So here is the struggle: I adopted full-paleo at the beginning of the year by doing a Whole 30. It worked really well, I lost weight and I was feeling like a shooting star—full of life and energy. Then after it I slowly saw myself going back to sugar {of course, you tricky vixen} and … Continue reading
This Whole30 has been a totally different experience than my previous one. First–I was already making food for my meals, so I didn’t miss a beat there. What I did do was try new recipes, and they were all winners. Korean Short Ribs, Chicken Meatballs in a homemade Marinara sauce, Almond Milk, Cauliflower Dirty Rice and … Continue reading
Seven days left with the first part of my Whole30! As you may be aware I plan on doing this for 60 days, just so I can really develop a solid relationship with sugar. And by solid relationship, I mean a relationship where I control my thoughts and actions. That being said I am approaching … Continue reading
Things have been busy at work, but I have been able to increase the amount of times I am going to Pearland CrossFit to 4 times a week now. I even got off my ass and went 2 Saturday’s in a row! What! My workout are feeling stronger and it’s making me pretty happy! I … Continue reading
Reintroduction phase 1 is complete! On Wednesday I did as I planned–latte in the morning, cheese for lunch and ice cream with dinner. The latte went over alright–my stomach talked to me more in the morning and I had some extra bowel movements {aren’t you excited to know these things?}. The biggest reaction was to … Continue reading
I was reading the timeline and day 10-11 is when people usually quit, and I can see why. I went into day 10 thinking “that’s preposterous, you’ve come so far!” but after breakfast it started to sink in. The challenge is emotional and it stinks. It didn’t help that had extra challenges to go with … Continue reading
