I'm super excited for this coming Paleo challenge at our Crossfit. It starts Jan. 6th and runs for 6 weeks. This time it costs $40. There will be two winners, 1 male, and 1 female. They will split the moola. The smount of money you can win, will completely depend upon how many people sign up. I gave my $40 to Meagan this morning and officially signed up. I was also the very first one to sign up....that's a good sign, right? I fully plan on winning this thing! I have the most fat to lose (female wise) in the gym, so I think that gives me a bit of an advantage. I hope!
I made it to the gym today and got my behind handed to me on a silver platter....or should I say, my arms?! My arms felt like jelly afterwards and still feel quite weak and sore. I didn't realize that I PR'd my back squat today. 115 lbs. Still not a great number, but I was happy with it.
Not much else to report. I'm glad Christmas is over. It was stressful and frustrating. I'm just ready to get 2014 started.

Every victory is a Non Scale Victory!!!!!
After throwing away my scale last spring...I must say that it's a decision I don't regret in the least. I love reading fitness and weight loss blogs, but I swear most of them center around what the flipping scale says or doesn't say. I let my scale wreck havoc on my life since I was in 5th grade.....almost 25 years!
Since joining crossfit I've met some AMAZING people. There are a couple girls that are tiny. They are extremely muscular but all in all, very small....and they weigh WAY more than you'd ever think. The scale doesn't show body composition, it doesn't show muscle mass, it doesn't show how your endurance and stamina have increased.....it shows nothing except a number.
It's so fun to see small victories without even blinking an eye about what the scale might say. I get true joy when I set a personal record while doing a lift, or doing 18'' box jumps for the first time, or going on a run and not feeling as fatigued as I would've a month earlier. I love it! I wish all of us would throw our scales away and just work hard. We all know that if we eat better and get more exercise we'll lose weight and get fit......so why do we need a scale to tell us something we already know? I read a blog not too long ago where the gal was frustrated that she weighed 125 lbs and couldn't get back to 122 lbs....which is where she wants to be. Ummmmm......SERIOUSLY?! Do you look good in your clothes? Do you feel good about yourself? Are you making good choices? Then freaking WHO CARES what the scales says? Good grief!
The other thing is I swear all scales weigh slightly differently. I remember weighing myself on my bathroom scale, then on my basement scale only to find an 8 lb difference. Needless to say I convinced myself that I was the weight that was the lesser of the two evils.
If you are one of those people who obsess about the scale, give yourself a gift this coming year. Take a break from it. Put it in the closet for a month or better yet, throw the darn thing away. Like anything it's hard at first, but soon you'll feel free of it's shackles....and that my friend is worth it's "weight" in gold.
By the way.....I bought myself a new kettlebell! The 15 lb bell was no longer much of a challenge and when I workout at home I needed something to help me keep getting stronger. Meet my 30 lb bell. Ahhhh, isn't she pretty! I love her already!

Where has the energy gone?
I haven't felt much "pep" lately. Where'd it go?! I'm not sure if it's the crummy sleep I'm getting, the dark winter days, the single digit temps or what. I miss the full of life feeling I had during the summer.
My mom called me today to let me know they had to put their dog down. Jamaica was almost 14 years old. I clearly remember the first day they brought her home. She was an 8 week old black lab and my mom brought her down into my room and let her wake me up by licking me. I feel bad for my parents, they are taking her death very hard. =(
I did make it to crossfit. I really wanted to skip it today though.....it was mostly cardio. I'd much rather lift weights that do cardio. Cardio is great for skinny mini's....not for chunky monkey's like myself. I suppose I need it the most though...since it's a great fat burner. WHATEVER........I still freaking hate it.
We rowed 1000 meters, did 40 jumping pull ups, and then had to burn 65 calories on the airdyne bike. BARF BARF BARF!
I finished in 15 min 7 seconds. Definitely one of the slowest times of the day. Drat!
I'm going to brew myself up a cup of coffee and then maybe soak in a hot bubble bath. My let muscles are screaming at me.

LOVING ME SOME DEADLIFTS!
Life gets so hectic around the holidays!! I don't know how people keep up with it all. I feel like I start to fall behind around Thanksgiving and by the New Year I'm ready to throw in the towel.
I made it into crossfit the day after Thanksgiving. I felt extremely swollen due to all the salt I consumed. I had just one plate of food, and really just normal/proper amounts of everything. Potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, turkey, gravy and some cranberry sauce. Nothing too extreme. Still the next day my joints hurt and my fingers and toes felt stiff. I was glad I got right back on the horse the day after the holiday. I was also proud that I only had about 6 bites of pie that evening. I used to use holidays as an excuse to not only eat bad food, but to stuff my face for days afterwards.
By the weekend I started to developed some terrible migraines. They were so bad that noises, smells, light, just about everything made it almost unbearable. Because my head hurt so bad I couldn't eat because it would make me feel sick. I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't listen to music or watch a movie. It was all I could do just to make sure my kids got out the door for school and there was food for them to eat. That has been my existence for most of this week. I don't know what's causing them. I'm guessing stress, but who really knows for sure?
I felt a lot better this morning. I was able to make it to crossfit today. Hurray! My head still hurts but it's only a slight headache. Friday's are deadlift days, which are my favorite. I really feel badass when I can lift heavy weights. I lifted more than any of the girls there today. I'm still the fattest, but it's nice to not be the weakest as well.
We did a 10 minute kettle bell warm up. Followed by 5 sets of 5 heavy dead lifts. I pulled 205 lbs for my dead lifts. My personal record for a single rep is 225, so I'm pretty sure the next time I test my limit, I'll be able to beat my last record. 205 is hard. By the time I finished all my sets I was exhausted and sweat was dripping off my face. They sure don't look like they are hard or that they do much, but if you research the deadlifts, they are one of the better lifts as far as results go.
Here's an article that goes into way more detail.
Our WOD was a 6 minute AMRAP.
5 air squats
5 kettle bell swings
10 air squats
10 kettle bell swings
etc etc until the 6 minutes runs out.
I used a 25 lb bell. This was HARD!! 6 minutes sounds like it would be cake....it was not cake, it was more like torture. Jonathan came by about half way through the WOD and told me that my squats were looking awesome. He said my form was so much better than it used to. Hurray! I was ablet to get up to 25 squats and 17 kb swings before time was up. My lungs burned SOOO bad!
We finished off class with some cool down stretches and we were done.
I'd really like to finish December strong. No more sickness, no more migraines and getting in all my crossfit workouts. Time to get in a hot bubble bath and relax. It's flipping cold here today! I think our high today should be about 3 degrees. Brrrrr!!!!

Thanksgiving 5K
Happy Thanksgiving!! I'm looking forward to spending the day surrounded by family and good food, but first I'm going to be walking/running a Turkey Day 5K. =) I mapped it out on googlemaps and found the perfect 5K loop. Hubby said he'd come with me and we'll bring the lab as well. I think this should become a yearly tradition.
Hope you all have a nice, relaxing day.♥

Pain in the neck!
We also did FRAN yesterday. I used 20 lbs more on my bar and boy oh boy did I feel it! I woke up several times last night because every time I moved my muscles I would be in quite a bit of pain. I'm taking today off completely to rest and recover. Maybe I'll get a jump start on Thanksgiving preparations.
Do you feel like because your body doesn't look the way you want that it holds you back from life? I let how I feel about myself dictate just about every facet of my life. I hate that! I really wanted to wear a dress for the holidays but I feel like I'll look like a whale so I won't. In fact, because I still hate how my body looks I won't even go buy a new outfit. I can't stand the thought of spending money on clothes that are huge. I don't know how to love myself where I currently am and that really bothers me. How does a person change that?

1st ever family photos taken!
I've been MIA for awhile now. I developed a nasty case of bronchitis right before I left to go see my sister in Boise. I had to cancel our 5K run. I was miserable! We pretty much just sat around and watched movies and talked. Anything else hurt my lungs too much. Even after I returned home I took off an entire week of crossfit to let my body heal.
A couple weeks ago my husband took Friday off from work and he went with me to crossfit. It was awesome for him to get to see what it's like first hand. They let a family member try a class for free. I know he wants to start boot camp soon. He's itching to get involved in some sort of exercise and I think this will be perfect for him. While there, we worked on deadlifts. I hadn't been at crossfit for 2 1/2 weeks and during that time I was crazy sick and weak. We worked on finding our 1 rep max. Basically the most you can lift in just one lift. My last 1 rep max was 160 lbs. Meagan told me to not expect to lift that much since I've been gone for a long time and because I'd been sick. I ended up lifting 205 lbs!! I beat my last PR (personal record) by 45 lbs! I was soo excited! The WOD was awful. I could really tell my endurance was way down.
Last week I just went to class twice and this week I fully plan on going all three days. It feels good to be back on the horse.
So I hired Meagan ( one of my wonderful trainers) to take some photos of me and my family. We've never.....like EVER....had family photos taken. Every year my husband wants to and I decline saying that I'm too fat and that we can do it the following year. This has been going on for 11 years. Well Meagan posted on facebook that she does photography and I looked at some of her work and it was really good. I went ahead, bit the bullet, and signed us up. It was extremely hard for me to let someone take full body shots of me. I hate sounding so selfish.....but all I could think about was how huge I still was. I got our photos back a few days ago. Meagan did an amazing job! There are a few photos I'd like to banish forever, but instead I'm going to keep them so I can remember how I truly looked through my journey. I much prefer the pictures from the waist up, but whatever...it is what it is. I thought I'd share a few pictures...some good ones, and one or two that make me feel insecure.
An ass picture, really?! BLAH! It's like twice as big as my husband's. On a good note, I had a couple people this week tell me at crossfit that I was looking slimmer. Hey, I'll take any compliment I can get.
We also just got a 9 week old miniature dachshund puppy. We named her Juniper. She's a sweetie pie. ♥

full blown bronchitis
Well no wonder I was feeling so icky. My nasty cold turned into nasty bronchitis. I love how when you get it the Dr. will tell you to "get lots of rest". I'm averaging 3-4 hours of sleep per night due to all the coughing. That's awful!
I fly to Boise this afternoon to visit my sister. We're changing all our plans to basically staying in and just watching movies together since I'm not feeling well. It'll still be fun just to have a break from the kids and spend some quality time w/ my sis.
Last night after trying to fall asleep for several hours, I got up and drew a hot bath. I poured in a few drops of tea tree oil into the bath and soaked for almost an hour. I can't believe what a difference that has made. Instead of tight cough it's now loose and it feels like the mucus in the bronchial tubes is breaking free. Hurray for little improvements!
Yesterday, Meagan my crossfit trainer, took family photos of us. We've never had nice photos taken.....EVER! My husband has been wanting them done for years and every year I tell him the same thing..........when I lose some more weight, when I go down a few more sizes...etc. etc. I still have a LONG way to go, but I did it. It was incredibly hard for me to let someone take full body shots of me. I don't mind how I look from the shoulders up......it's everything below that makes me uncomfortable. I'm nervous about getting the pictures back. It's like you know in your head you are really large but nothing puts it quite in perspective like seeing your entire body in a photo does.
While Meagan was taking our pictures I asked her about working out at crossfit while getting over bronchitis and she said that after I get home from Boise I can go back to class but they'll just have me do exercises that won't strain my body/lungs very much. I'm thankful because I didn't want to be forced to still on my tush for another 1-3 weeks while I get over this thing.
Happy Halloween!

zero appetite
So two weeks ago was amazing. I felt strong, and I saw incredible gains in my fitness. Last week on Tuesday I helped some friends of ours split and stack tons of firewood. These chunks of wood I had to carry over to the log splitter were all approx. 100 lbs each. There is no way I'd have been able to help with that task before crossfit, no flippin way. I felt great, worked for several hours and came home to veg for the rest of the day. Soon after I got home my throat started to hurt and by bedtime it hurt so bad I could barely even swallow water. I got ZERO sleep that night. I was in so much pain it was ridiculous! The next day I got all the other symptoms that come with a nasty cold. I've been sick over a week and I'm still really sick. Everything has settled into my chest causing me to cough CONSTANTLY! I even pulled a muscle in my neck a couple nights ago due to the coughing fits. To say I'm frustrated is an understatement. I leave for Boise in two days. Unless a miracle happens I'm not going to be able to run my 5K that I've been training for. I'm really really at my wits end. I'm exhausted and have no appetite. It's almost like I'm too tired to even go to the kitchen to find something to eat. So basic house cleaning has gone to the wayside as well. My husband has been out of town all of last week and part of this week. Somehow I'm supposed to pull the house together, get food prepared for hubby and the kids to eat while I'm gone, balance the finances, and get costumes finished for the kids. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I think beating my head against a brick wall sounds much more appealing.

Fantastic end to the week!
Thursday was a great day. I had three different people at crossfit tell me that they could tell I was getting smaller. YAY!!
Warm Up:
thoracic mobility
glute activation
Skill: ass-ist
3×10 romanian deadlift ( I was able to do 90 lbs, much less weight than regular deadlifts.)

WOD: Dels
20″ max effort sled drag, with 1:40 rest. Load up with as much as you can move quickly- stronger athletes will get bodyweight+. Repeat 8x. (I used 135 lbs. The most I've ever used before was about 100 lbs.)
after, grab a heavy kettlebell and swing (russian):
10 reps, 2 breaths
15 reps, 3 breaths
25 reps, 4 breaths
50 reps.
keep tech snappy and perfect, with as quick of a tempo as you can manage. (I used an 18lb bell. This was harder than I thought it was going to be. Those last 50 swings were killer!)
I left Thursday feeling on top of the world.
Friday was also fabulous!
Warm Up:
buddy row, get 500m each. Teams of three. ( I was able to row faster than I've ever rowed before. Yay!!!!)
-rest when you get off the rower
-when a buddy transitions to rest, get 10 perfect squats.
Skill: snatch
thacker WU+
12 sets, ascending: snatch from position 2+snatch from position 1
Skill Option: KB ascendency
one-arm swing, 10 reps
lateral swing, 10 reps
KB snatch, 10 reps.
switch sides, get 4 sets each side.
after, get 3×10 1 arm sott’s press
WOD: Hurler
20 pistol (alternating, 20 each leg) ( I did box step ups while holding a 25lb kettlebell)
then, 21-15-9 reps of
front squat 135/95 ( Used 45lb bar.....not even close to where I want to be on the front squats)
ring dip (not strong enough to do these yet, so I did pushups instead)
finish with 150x double under. ( For those that can't do double unders we were to attempt to do 50 and then do 300 single unders. I actually was able to do 15 double unders. 15 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never been able to even do 1 before. I couldn't believe it! )
All in all it was a fabulous week! I'm so thankful since the last few weeks I've felt down, weak and not very motivated. I so needed a good week.
It's a little chilly, but it's a clear blue sky and gorgeous outside. Enjoy your weekend, I know I'm going to. =)
