Today was Saturday workout, of course. I was going to go camping with the Hernandez family but with a pretty bizarre week, I decided to stay home today and do what I love to do, workout and EAT!!!
Got to the box and decided that I was going to run a mile. All the other super fit females in my crew did a few miles this week, but I skipped Wednesday Hero WOD day to drink alcohol, my go to stress reliever when my life didn't involve a box. I slipped back into my old ways this week, allowing myself to forget that the workout is the stress reliever, not the alcohol. Wow, that makes me sound like an alcoholic, which I am not, just a lover of happy hour and social time. Anywho, I told the ladies I was going to run a mile and in true CrossFit sisterly support, they all said they would run one too. It was supposed to be a slow jog, but running with Amy Light makes even this big girl's stride move a little faster. Thanks to Amy for making me pound my feet on the pavement a little quicker than I had planned.
So gluttony, I say. Yes, I am eating like it's my last weekend on Earth when really, it's just my last weekend before true clean, healthy eating takes over my life. I promise I will not be the super freak friend who obsesses about what I'm doing with my diet. I will talk to those who are interested, to those that ask how it's going and to those that recognize that I will need motivation to stay the course, but I won't force my diet change on to anyone else. 21 days of no sugar, no alcohol, no processed foods...I got this. Because today at lunch, I downed a basket of sweet potato fries, a delicious, bacon covered chicken sandwich and so much Diet Coke I practically floated out of the restaurant. Now I'm off to hit up the Mexican flare. Chips and queso, a margarita or two (3 drink minimum as I say, but today I might make 2 the maximum), and some tasty enchiladas. My tummy can't wait!
Tomorrow I make my menu for the week, my grocery list, hit the store, do food prep, take measurements and my before pictures (which will not be posted. Don't want to mentally scar anyone who might actually read this blog). Transition to the Modifier Diet is going to be a serious challenge, especially this time of year at school. Bring it on!!! I'm motivated to do this for me and no one else. I'm sure around day 3-4 no one will be friends with me anymore because my grumpiness will be unbearable, but it will pass and hopefully I can win them back over with my healthier, sparkling personality.
Thank you in advance to my peeps who love, support and understand me and for being patient with me as I begin my journey to a healthier me.
