So good to be back.

Even if I hated the WOD today lol!

It was a WOD with 50 yes, 50 burpees.  In 4 mins.  I barely got them done.  Barely.  And I felt a little urpee after. 

Then a few minutes of doing box jumps, to figure out what our max jump was.

Then a 400 m run. I don't like to run, even if I want to get better, and actually be good at it.  I still don't like running.

Now, I just need to work on my hubby's cooking.  He's been cooking supper at night, and well, his version of clean food is if it doesn't have pet hair in it.  Sigh.

Ugh what a week

Ok, so last week I had kid stuff in the evenings.  Great.  That's when I hit Crossfit.  I did some walking and kept my eating pretty good.  Well as good as I can during Hell Week.  You ladies know what I mean.   I didn't eat bags full of potato chips and my body weight in chocolate, so I did well.

This week, its also been Hell week but for a totally different reason.  State inspection at the nursing home I work at.  Now, I'm filling in for the Assistant DON who is on maternity leave.  I've been doing this for about 2 days when state shows up.  EEK!  I'm not 100% sure what to do anyway, then add this shit?  My stress level hit about one million.  And I usually don't get stressed out bad.  But I was this week.

No Crossfit or well, any workout this week.  I would come home so wiped out, I just sat, soaked in a hot bathtub, and went to bed early.  I was ok with my eating.  Not great cause a bunch of staff members brought crap to eat.  Donuts, cookies, sticky rolls, jelly beans. OMG!  It was all over the place.  But I managed to only eat half a dounut, and a couple handfuls of jelly beans.  I avoided the sticky rolls, and the cookies!  Hurray for me!  There once was a time I would have eaten a little of everything.

Inspection is over now!  It went well.  Good for the staff that works there.  They did an amazing job! 

But I can't even go to Crossfit on Sat morning, cause hubby wants to go camping.  I'm more like "whatever"  I'd rather not but he's been itching to take the new camper out since the day we bought it.  I'd rather Crossfit on Sat morning and take a nap in my own bed and not in a camper. 

I've got to hit the grocery store soon.  Only bad thing about my clean eating, is needing to get fruit pretty often.   And veggies. And eggs lol!  

I'm so glad this week is same as over.  Feels like this week took 2 weeks.  I just want to get a good night sleep and get to sleep later cause I don't have to go in early and won't have to stay late!

Here's my new blog

I've not blogged in like 4 years.  I'm sure I won't blog much, but hey, once a week or so, I think I can manage it.

I'm really getting into Crossfit. Ok, not so much this week.  Between meetings for my kids, and two longer than usual workdays, I just can't seem to get there.  But I really love it when I get to go.  Even
 if I'm muttering under my breath some really vile 4 letter words during lol!

But I'd really like to be a part-time runner.  Now, I freaking HATE running.  Ok, maybe that's not true. I like the idea of running.  I've wanted to be a runner for quite some time.  I hate the side effects of running.  For me, shin splints.  I have read that those will diminish with time, and maybe a different running technique.  So I'm just going to have to work on it.  Get over it and work on it.  My cardio capacity sucks!  Sucks ass big time.  I'd be better at Crossfit, which I really want to be, if I didn't feel like my lungs were going to explode.   So this spring and summer will be all about improving my cardio capacity. 

But my main battle, my diet.  I did a Clean Eating challenge earlier this year, and for me, did outstanding.  I lost 5lbs, and was feeling better, and well, was starting to try different foods.  But in the last while, my hubby, who had been working til 8pm, is now not working.  Its ok, he's retired military and gets a decent retirement.  But he's home and making supper. I usually hit Crossfit in the early evening like 6:30pm or so.  His version of "clean eating" is eating on clean plates.  And a little more take out than I want.  Sigh.  I've eating way to much shit food in the last 3 weeks he's not been working.  I've gained weight, like the 5lbs I lost during my clean eating challenge, and feel fat and bloated.  I need to teach him what's some good food, good clean food, to cook, or just do it myself after Crossfit like I did before.

I did my first 5K this last Sat.  OK, so I sucked at the running.  That's ok, I jogged a little, walked the rest and didn't finish last LOL!  I'm signed up for another one, and plan on training/running a little more to actually run a little more of it. 

I'm reading Tosca Reno's Clean Eating books again.  They give me a good foundation to build a good diet on.  Now to teach my hubby how to cook clean, or at least cook semi-clean.
