• Starting Weight (1/2/13) 170.2
• Last Week Weigh In (2/12/13): 166.4
• This Week Weigh In Goal - 165.4 (1.5 per week)
• This Week Weigh In (2/20/13): 163.2 (3.2 loss)
• Next Week Goal - 161.7
• Ending Goal 155

So I was surprised.  Generally this week was on point with diet - extreme limiting carbs and sugars but still indulging from time to time.  I’m not sure how this happened… but I’ll take it!

• Starting Weight (1/2/13) 170.2
• Last Week Weigh In (1/30/13): 168.4
• This Week Weigh In Goal - 165.4 (1.5 per week)
• This Week Weigh In (2/12/13): 166.4 (2 loss)
• Next Week Goal - 164.9
• Ending Goal 155

So this week at my box we started a nutrition challenge.  And I am doing it!!!  Nothing too too strict but severely limiting my sugar and gluten.  No more than 5g added sugar and I’ve been doing no more than 5g carbs added.  But also just avoiding things with laundry list ingredients and eating more natural foods.  This is a great approach to eventually go paleo but not too overwhelming.  I’m also having a cheat meal Friday night at my grandparents house - it won’t be anything too crazy but I don’t want to make my grandmother change her meal plans :-)  It seems to be working.

I didn’t win the iPad BUUUUUT I got a rope climb today.  I say win!

If I win the iPad form NomNomPaleo then I will do a 30 day challenge.  Promise.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the chaos I allow in my life.  A simple thing like a planner stressed me out for 2 days.  I love the one I have now but it ends in August - it’s a school planner - you think, no big deal I can just get a new one in August.  But no.  I’ve been freaking out about it internally.  So I ordered a new one that will be for 2013.  I feel much better.

So I was feeling SUPER motivated after looking at this post.  She may not remember me but I’ve been following Katy since she started - she and Robin and Ben and Liz were my firsts.  Anyways - I was amped for Crossfit.  Then I was a third of the way into the workout and I thought I was going to throw up.

It was AMRAP in ?? minutes partner WOD of 10 dumbell thrusters, 10 yd bear crawl, 10 yd broad jump.  The time was unknown until we knew it was over.  I was struggling big time.  I just felt burnt out then I felt my pizza from last night in my throat.  My partner was a BEAST so I had no rest time.  It was a struggle.  But I did it.

So each day I will try and try.  Because it’s not about getting to the end result, it’s about the way you get there.  I’ve been 159 lbs, one day in 2011 - it was a Wednesday - and I want to get there soon as well.  160 is a huge block for me.  185 (in 2010) was my tipping point. Right now I’m 167.6 and this is the beginning.
