4 rounds of 200 m. run and 15 burpees. I hate burpees!!!!!!!! I don't remember my exact time; I believe it was 18 something.

September 16

Breakfast: 2 egg omelet
Snack: banana
Lunch: skinless chicken tenderloins, mixed in with 1/3 cup artichoke hearts
snack: I heated a hot in the microwave. I know this was not the best choice, I was feeling hungry and needed something. It was "all Beef" if that makes it any better (ha!)
Dinner: Baked chicken breast w/ a homemade tomato sauce w/ garden veggies.
Lots of water....

Crossfit:
Warm-up
6 50m. sprints, 30 squats, 30 push-ups,
Worked on overhead squats: 3,3,3,3,3 (used 15 kg. bar for each one) I am trying to get my form and strength up to par.
I like how the warm-ups trick you into thinking that they are just "warm-ups" ha, they are workouts!!
WOD: and now for the workout...ha
"Karen" 150 wallball shots
I compared my time from 5/5: I did 130 with a 10kg. ball in 10 minutes. (5 months pregnant at the time)
Today: I did 130 w/ the same ball, but my time was 13:38 (I think) ( 7 weeks post pregnancy. huh...) I really need to work my way up again!!
The work out kicked my ass though!!!
So my weight-loss progress:
I gained 46 pounds throughout pregnancy and lost 23 within 2 days (yeh), but then scaled stopped moving. My pre-pregnancy weight was 137 and the day I gave birth I reached 183. The scale stopped on 160. As of this morning I weighed 158. I have a feeling that losing this weight is gonna be tuff!!!! I really thought that I could melt this off. My inspiration is that I have never been this heavy and it disgusts me; I have very little that fits right now and I would really like to hold off on buying anything, until I lose a few pounds. I return to work Oct. 1st and my short term goal is to have lost a 3 more pounds by then. Then maybe I'll buy a few clothing items; I'll have to! I dont' think my principal will be cool with me wearing my lounge pants and a tank each day!!!
I think that I need to focus on my diet most of all in order to achieve this goal. I am thinking that I need to keep closer tract of my carb intake and increase my good fats, maybe adding some avaocado to my day instead if um.. a hotdog( which I know is horribe)...
Wish me luck....

September 13

Lunch: green pepper, onion, artichoke hearts, and sausage all sauted in a little bit of olive oil.
Dinner: (2) homemade pork tamales ( I couldn't resist...)

September 12

So I am not ready for team Saturday yet; I need to work my way up so that I can be a worthy partner to someone!! Instead I went to the dam and jogged 2 miles; felt real good!
Breakfast: Bowl of strawberries and banana
Lunch: Stuffed Green Pepper. We went to my Nieces first soccer game today and then went to happy Jacks for Ice cream. It was a bit torturous watching my husband eat his smothered fries and his large malt. I had will-power and waited patiently to return home and have my stuff pepper!!
Dinner: we went to a family gathering and was once again tortured with food. Lots and Lots of summer pasta salads!! I was starving and knew that we were gonna stay for awhile. So I had some fruit salad, and about 3 paper thin hamburger patties. I am not sure if they were even real meat though.... I did taste; just taste some BLT dip that my aunt made, and I lost control by the end of the night and had two pumpkin cookies....they were mini cookies...
When we got home, we came across a Julia Child's rerun that was titled Omelet party. The way she taught how to make an omelet was truly amazing; changed my life forever!! ha, but seriously it did; I'll never make an omelet any other way!! It's all about how you move the pan; she even suggested practicing with some dried beans in a pan!! My husband was so excited he tried it out and we capped off our evening with a 2 egg omelet!!
Almost forgot; I had a Miller Lite too!

WOD:
3 rounds
400 m. run
22 Kettle Bell (12kg)
12 pull-ups (black band)
My time was 11:08 (I think...)
I have got to be honest, after being gone for three months; I have lost soo much strength. I am very frustrated. The pull-ups bothered me the much. 12 pull-ups should be a breeze, and I struggled so much. Grr.... My short term goal is to progress back to the green band and then of course to the blue again! I just gotta keep positive, I will get there!!
Breakfast: just coffee....( I know, never skip breakfast)
Lunch: Went to Panera Bread with my sister-in-law. I had a cobb salad, and a cup of Vegetable soup. I looked it up online and it came to about 600 calories total. The carb. ammount not so good....
Dinner: I made stuffed green peppers (I put rice in them, I know I shouldn't have...)
Snack: banana
I don't think I ate enough calories! I need to work on that, not only to lose weight but to keep my milk plentiful( breastfeeding).

Today was a hectic day. I had Dr. appointments and a grad class. I didn't work out today, and my diet was not the best either!
Breakfast: nothing but cup of coffee
Lunch: 3 scrambled eggs with pepper, mushroom, onion, ham
Dinner:3 scrambled eggs w/spinach, pepper, mushroom, sausage
I really need to go shopping!!
Tomorrow, I will go to Crossfit! I still have a real urge to hit the trails and do some running!!

I have lost 2 pounds though...

September 9, 2009
9 rounds for time

• 9 body pull-ups
• 9 push ups (assistance)
  

I was a bit discouraged today at my loss of strength! I needed to use the assistance bar for my push-ups and then could barely do the body pull-ups. I don't remember being this weak, even when I first started. Oh well, I'll get there again!
Here's what I ate
I ate a lot today....
Breakfast
3 scrambled eggs with green pepper/onion/ham
1 cup of black coffee
Lunch
Went to applebees with grams and was not all that hungry yet, so I had a soup salad combo: Shrimp spinach salad (bacon, almonds, sweet pepper, no dressing)
cup of Tomato basil soup
Mid day Snack? The leftover pork chop and green beans from last night dinner
Dinner: Spinach salad w/ cucumbers, bacon and one hard-boiled egg
Split a steak with Ben/ sauteed onions in mushrooms( in olive oil)
And..... I accidentally took a shot of whip cream!! :)
And lots of water
I can't crossfit tomorrow b/c of my class. I would like to go running at moraine hills, but well I am learning that having a baby kinda makes that hard. Maybe gramps will take her again.....

Wow, I haven't ever created a blog yet!! So today was my first day back to cross fit after having a baby 6 weeks ago!! I was kinda scarred...
Today's WOD was not too bad
5 rounds for time:

• 15 dead lifts (20kg bar)
• 30 single jump ropes

I left the fort and felt like I could not wait til tomorrow!! I actually have an urge to start running!! maybe tomorrow...
So here what I ate:
Breakfast: my lovely husband made me a three egg omelet with feta, mushroom, onion, and green pepper, 3 slices of bacon and about 1/3 cup strawberries. Along with a cup of black coffee
Lunch: 3 Jacksonville Cheddar betters!!
Dinner: 2 grilled pork chops, one small sweet potato, 1/3 cup green beans (from my garden)
Snack: 1/2 cup sugar free apple sauce!
I drank at least a gallon of water throughout the day!!
My diet needs working on; I need to go shopping and plan my meals out!
