I started CrossFit in Feb. Mostly because the hubs was pushing me, partly because I've always wanted to. And really, I'm enjoying it. These were my On-Ramp workouts, which are designed to get you acclimated and slowly work up to the sheer insanity that is a box workout.
I'll be real though, I don't love it yet. I miss running long distances. Long runs are like therapy and I haven't done one since the Cowtown 1/2 in Feb. I suppose when I can see results though, I'll be happy. Yesterday for a "cool down" I was supposed to run an "say 1.5." I was like, SURE! LOVE to run!
And then I sucked at it! Totally different muscles. But it was nice to get out there, even if it was just for 10 minutes.
I started logging my food again on MFP - That hasn't happened almost all year. And that is ALSO a struggle. I mainly blog for myself so I'm not surprised I've been so sporadic in the last 18 months. Truth is I haven't wanted to talk about me. I've been a mess. Work stuff mostly. And although my new gig at EHS has been great for SO many reasons, it didn't erase a lot of the issues. So I ate. Like a lot.
Like I've gained 15lbs since last March. Ladies and gents, that's a lot on a person my size and height.
We have a wedding coming up in May. Cancun. All-inclusive with our 5 closest couple friends from college. And most of the mamas still look like that. It's not that I'm jealous or embarrassed, I just want to feel comfortable.
I don't need a time machine, I just want to be my best self!
So, here I go. One day at a time, one step at a time.
