So today's workout sucked ass. I mean I might as well have not shown up today. Then we did some hard core workout that involved pull ups & I was so distraught that I couldn't do those. I mean horribly upset, quivering upper lip, tears in my eyes upset. Needless to say I did what I could, but wasn't 100% into it. Also I didn't really like the sub we had. She annoyed me.
Anyway, I was chatting with hubby & he has this knack to ask me the wrong questions sometimes. For some reason he thinks I can read his mind & he's already played out how he got to his question & then when he asks & I don't react the way he thinks I am going to he gets upset. How is that my fault? Whatever. My point is that I am not a mind reader, I have never claimed to be & quite frankly I will probably react the same way again at some point in time in the future.
I am just cranky because I was limited by my shoulder today & that just plain sucked. I'll get over it.
One thing I have noticed though is that I seriously need to work on cardio. My cardio is so bad right now. Yikes!!! I've had a lot of work to do on myself for a long time, but now it's really setting in. Guess I just have to keep going.

Dear Self
Dear Self,
I have a few things we need to talk about. They are in no particular order, but they are important nonetheless.
Remember when you were 26 & did your first sprint triathlon? Remember how you finally ran a 5 k just because you hated to run? Well you're not 26 anymore! Slow your roll or at least remember to allow your body to recover. Your workouts are harder & more intense & you need to have good solid rest. Not to say that in a few weeks you won't be your old 26 year old self, but allow yourself to ease into it.
Don't get discouraged. Just remember that at this point food is fuel. We know you've had issues with food which is why we are where we are right now. I know you've been a rock star so far, but just keep it up & listen to your body.
You WILL REACH YOUR GOALS!!! You Will!!!! It's going to be insane how in shape you are. At some point I am sure your body will stop aching. lol! Keep your chin up :)
I think that's it for now Self-just keep it real & listen to your body. As a matter of Fact-Let's Post your WOD for the day.
CrossFit WOD: Front Power Squats
1 Set - 3 Reps of the Following:
Set 1 - 65 lbs
Set 2 - 75 lbs
Set 3 - 85 lbs
Set 4 - 95 lbs
Set 5 - 100 lbs
I was supposed to max out, but I didn't start off with enough weight. So my guess is that I would max out at about 105 lbs.
Anyway, that's it for now. Trying to muster the strength to get to kickboxing.
Peace!

I really want to start whole new blog
Is it possible to do so? Ok - anyway, back to the cleanse. I have decided my body cannot handle horse pills, but the fiber portion is awesome! I feel so much cleaner on the inside. Not too much weight loss though. I figured out that by my birthday I need to lose about 3 pounds a week to make it happen.
Here is my update as of 9/15/09:
I have been consistent with CrossFit now & I am already feeling stronger! My shoulder is getting stronger & not in so much pain. I went back to kickboxing last night for the first time in a couple of months & bruised the shit out of my forearm doing elbow strikes (I HEART elbow strikes).
As far as diet I am now on a zig zag diet that consists of:
Protein
Fibrous carbs
Complex carbs
Boring huh? But the weight just drops off my body! It's all timed & everything. I eat every 2-3 hours. For the most part I am not hungry, but it's so low calorie. I finally found a whey protein I dig that doesn't have a ton of stuff in it. It's a very clean protein powder Jay Robb You can find it at HEB or any grocery store.
My main goal consists of two things:
Well party peops (as my friend Tex would say!) That's about it for now!!!
In Healthh & Wellness!!!!

- To prove I can do this! I will have a fitness model body by the end of the year
- Health-I want to be healthy to do all the things in life I want to do
