I'm worth it.

So in weighing myself EVERY morning I have only lost 2lbs since I started CrossFit. A) I know I shouldn't weigh myself daily, but i can't help myself, and B) my eating is still out of control.

I love me some hamburgers and fries! I know I can still have these bad for me but most delicious foods, I just can't have them everyday like I want. I clearly take the time to workout, so I also need to take the time to eat healthy. I can do it. I know how to do it, so why the hell don't I? I guess I just need to give myself permission.

I feel SO much stronger than before I started CrossFit. (Did ya see the post about dead lifting 221lbs?!?!?!) I actually feel like a strong person inside a fat suit. This fat suit is getting in the way of everything! It's physically in the way of working out and finding cute fun clothes. It's emotionally in the way of me feeling good about myself. So, it's time.

I now grant you permission to eat food that will allow you to loose weight and feel better. This will not be a temporary food change but a lifelong struggle to decide that by eating healthy you are telling yourself you're worth it.

Yes it will be a lot of work. Yes you will have to count calories, weigh your food, and not eat so many hamburgers. But you are worth it.

Just in case you didn't get it, that was me giving me permission. :)

Here is today's workout:















1600 meter run is a mile. I ran it non-stop. I am used to running on a treadmill and it sets the pace for me, and this way I had to set my own pace. That was a first.

I used a 8lb ball for the wall balls. That is where you hold the ball in both hands below your chin, squat, then throw the ball to hit a line that is 10' off the ground. Now do that 10 times in a row. After 10 of those do a normal sit up but with a 10lb ball. Start laying on your back with the ball above your head and do a sit up with it in your hands. Have the ball touch the ground in between your knees. You use the weight of the ball to hellp you sit up. Now do all that 10 times.

Plus I burned 476 calories on this workout. I'm pretty tired tonight...
