My life is winding down and I'm really happy about this!  School is ending and I will go back to working part - time.  I've decided to further slow things down by taking a break from school.  Hopefully, it will just be for the summer but at this point I may take off the rest of the year.

I'm on Day 12 of the 21DSD.  Sleep hasn't been easy these last couple of days and I have a feeling its because of stress.  

I'll do my best to continue this blog.

21 day Sugar Detox**Day 1


People get on my nerves!  I have never fully been able to deal with how I FEEL about how other people ACT.  Actually I have never fully been able to deal with how I feel period.  Take away my sugar and I have no comfort. Take away my sugar and make me workout, run or swim and that's like torture.  I would like to find alternative ways to deal with these types of challenges other than ingesting some sort of sugary treat, but old habits never die easily and mine are FIGHTING me all the way. Sigh~~ this can be really hard at times.

There I said it!  

I slept 12 hrs last night and this is how I feel this morning :) 
Luv it!

I finally got in the water yesterday.  The ocean was chilly and beautiful.  Let the swim season start for me!

Dedicated to 6am class

If  your going to Crossfit at 6am, you better BRING IT!  Aside from paying attention during workouts, it can be especially challenging if your not readily alert in the morning.

For me it takes awhile and at least 2 cups of coffee.  But 2 cups of coffee is "No Can Do" before crossfit in the morning unless I want to feel sick.  No thanks.  So working out is my wake up!

I'm also very hungry afterward.  Have a nice fucken day!

Back

These last 4 days have been long to say the least. 15, 16 and 12 hr work days and I do not get along anymore.  I didn't eat too bad, but I could of done better.  Speaking of which, here's another little problem that needs to go away as well.


Dear Nuts, parting is such sweet sorrow.  I will have to use alternatives immediately.

I need to get in the water!  I need to shave my legs, wax that bikini and get in the water.  

Today is a rest day therefore tomorrow back at it.

It's a starting point

5:30 am Thursday April 11th, 2013.

Let's just get right to the point because the numbers don't lie.

3/28/2012                   4/11/2013
wt 156                           wt 161.5
bf% 31.4                       bf% 35.54

Out of the 6 lbs I've gained it's more than likely all body fat.  

At first I was pretty OK, about an hour later is when it hit me.  "F*** all that hard work for nothing" and last but not the worst "YOUR FAT".

sigh~~  

Anyway-- Today was Z1 active recovery day.  I was able to run 1/2 mile at about a 70% pace.  

Wolfed down 4 eggs with cabbage in my face.  Its true what they say, when your really hungry you'll eat chicken and steamed broccoli.

Flying out today for 2 days of work.  ya (with no enthusiasm).

Monday Funday

I didn't blog yesterday...maybe the novelty of all this is wearing off?  There was no running, swimming or lifting of any kind this weekend.  A part of me is OK with it and a part of me is kind of sad.  I don't like feeling down, stressed or without motivation. I wish I had a more of a "Get up and Go" attitude.

This was Saturday's venture.


my hubby and I enjoyed them.

There is so much going on with me.  First and foremost, this week is mid-terms(enough said). Secondly, I'm leaving for Hayward Thursday on a 48 hr work trip.  I must eat to survive this,  I usually don't  when I get over-whelmed.  My blogging and FB will probably grow quiet this week while I concentrate on other priorities.

Gone in 60 seconds


I woke up late this morning and had some errands to do.  By the time it was 10:30 I realized I hadn't eaten and didn't have anything to eat as well.

There it was, my favorite donut.  It didn't stand a chance.  Lenel didn't stand a chance.  


I guess the worst part was I had spent a good hour the night before preparing food for someone else's dinner. Why didn't I just put aside a little for me in the morning?  The truth is, I forgot.



At any rate...all the food was gone in 60 seconds. Whether is was last nights dinner or this morning's Donut.  

Buzz Lightyear said it best, "Onward and Upward".
Tomorrow is a new day
