I think! It was all a blur after.<br />This work out kicked my ass! Good thing Bill told me to put the weight back when he saw me attempting to use more than just the bar!<br /><br />I need to start drinking more water!!

I did crossfit on Wed. but missed Thursday and Friday because of school and well, had to pack my husband to go on his week long fishing trip!!<br />I have been pretty consistent with eating meat, veggi, and egg meals.<br /><br />Sunday I ran 2 miles at the Dam. Ate well<br />Monday: Someone was absent for babysitting (Grandpa..... :))<br /><br />Tuesday: Crossfit<br />Helen<br />3 rounds<br />400 m run<br />21 kettle bell (12 kg)<br />12 pull-up (green band)<br />Time was 13 something. We last did Helen on Sept. 11 the and I used a white band; my time was 18:33. So improvement.... I probably could have used the 16 kg kettle bell though!!<br /><br />Breakfast: egg Mcmuffin from DD. I ate only 1 muffin. I don't usually do that, but was starving. I skipped dinner last night.<br />Lunch: Lean beef w/organic tomato/Basil sauce from farmer market (yum)<br />Dinner: bowl of "dads" chicken soup<br />Snack: orange<br /><br />Weight this morning was 153.6 I am getting real excited and eager to seeing the 140's.

I used the black assistance band for the pull-ups and the green for the push ups. My time was 17:12. I think that next work-out I will use the green assistance band and work on no assistance push-ups!!<br /><br />I go back to work in 1 day and had to buy some new clothes today since I fit into NOTHING!!

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!)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dinner:</span> Baked chicken breast w/ a homemade tomato sauce w/ garden veggies.<br />Lots of water....<br /><br />Crossfit:<br />Warm-up<br />6 50m. sprints, 30 squats, 30 push-ups,<br />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.<br />I like how the warm-ups trick you into thinking that they are just "warm-ups" ha, they are workouts!!<br />WOD: and now for the workout...ha<br />"Karen" 150 wallball shots<br />I compared my time from 5/5: I did 130 with a 10kg. ball in 10 minutes. (5 months pregnant at the time)<br />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!!<br />The work out kicked my ass though!!!<br />So my weight-loss progress:<br />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!!!<br />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)...<br />Wish me luck....Mariahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05209294529945265155noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949816452330826906.post-920619109589147272009-09-14T19:27:00.000-07:002009-09-14T19:34:41.901-07:00Septmeber 14Crossfit today was:<br />Warm-up: 6 50 m. sprints, 30 squats, 30 pushups, cling progression 3,2,1,1,1 (2k kg)<br />WOD:<br />2 rounds of 500 m. row and max rep pull-ups (worked in kipping)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Breakfast</span>: coffee, 1/2 cup strawberries, and banana<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lunch:</span> tuna salad w/ garden veggies<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dinner</span>: Steak salad w/ garden veggies<br /><br />busy day...Mariahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05209294529945265155noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949816452330826906.post-26723154571614914202009-09-13T20:24:00.000-07:002009-09-13T20:31:29.506-07:00September 13Today I ran 2 miles at the Dam. I as able to pick up the pace a bit. I think that I should add a few more runs into my workout each week, to kick it up a notch.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Breakfast:</span> scrambled eggs w/ green pepper and onion, 2 sausage patties, and about a 1/2 cup of mixed fresh fruit and a slice of melon<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lunch:</span> green pepper, onion, artichoke hearts, and sausage all sauted in a little bit of olive oil.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dinner:</span> (2) homemade pork tamales ( I couldn't resist...)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Snack</span>: cup of strawberriesMariahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05209294529945265155noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949816452330826906.post-49479542433098353562009-09-13T14:07:00.000-07:002009-09-13T14:26:24.724-07:00September 12So 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!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Breakfast</span>: Bowl of strawberries and banana<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lunch:</span> 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!!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dinner:</span> 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...<br />When we got home, we came across a Julia Child's rerun that was titled <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Omelet</span> party. The way she taught how to make an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">omelet</span> was truly amazing; changed my life forever!! ha, but seriously it did; I'll never make an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">omelet</span> 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 <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">omelet</span>!! <br />Almost forgot; I had a Miller Lite too!Mariahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05209294529945265155noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949816452330826906.post-40115667432941801402009-09-12T08:35:00.001-07:002009-09-12T08:51:11.635-07:00WOD:<br />3 rounds<br />400 m. run<br />22 Kettle Bell (12kg)<br />12 pull-ups (black band)<br />My time was 11:08 (I think...)<br />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!!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Breakfast:</span> just coffee....( I know, never skip breakfast)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lunch:</span> 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....<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dinner: </span>I made stuffed green peppers (I put rice in them, I know I shouldn't have...)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Snack:</span> banana<br />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).Mariahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05209294529945265155noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949816452330826906.post-17217655985003788032009-09-10T20:27:00.000-07:002009-09-10T20:42:33.196-07:00Today was a hectic day.
