Day 1

Yesterday I woke up with excitement ! I can do this! I made 2 Turkey Patties for breakfast and had a green apple. I'm not a fan of eggs so I don't have alot of options for breakfast. I also sauteed some Spinach with Olive Oil and Garlic for Lunch. So I packed my spinach, Flank Steak (I made that Saturday), and raw baby carrots for lunch.
At lunch I kind of wished I had a Coke but kept drinking water. Then after Geology and into my Sociology I really needed a Coke. But I opted for more water & some almonds, its really not the same as a Coke. After that was my Statistics Class. Did I really forget everything? It seems that way. Ugh! Or maybe my brain needs sugar & caffeine??
Then in some of the worst traffic ever I head to Crossfit. The WOD is:
Wod:
6 RFT
10 man makers- I really tried but the 20 lb weights were too heavy, I can barely do I push up
1 DL 85% of 1rm
50 DU’s- I can't jump rope because of my knee so I row 200 meters

After the workout I felt so defeated, maybe I needed a Coke? I was a little emotional almost because I feel like there's so much I physically can't do.
I go run by Fit Foods & grab a Chicken & Vegetables because that's my fast food. I go get my sons and run them by Subway and head to Carson's Cub Scout meeting. I get home and yes I grabbed a spoon and the Nutella. Wow that was awesome!! (I only had one spoonful) Then I opted for a Clementine and half a Coke. I almost felt normal.

Last day to before going Paleo!

I am a first time blogger so I'm just putting this out there, I thought it would be nice to see where I started & how I end up. I'm trying a 60 day challenge starting tomorrow of a Paleo diet and doing Crossfit three times a week. I have been doing Crossfit for almost 3 weeks now and can already see a huge difference in my strength and I have gotten faster on the rowing machine. (I row because I have a bad knee and its kinda painful to run.) I'm averaing 200 meters a mintue so let's see if I improve. :)
For my final meals I opted for Cheese Enchiladas, beans, chips & queso. Oh and don't forget the Cokes. Man I am truly going to miss those...
Spring Break ends and I start back at school tomorrow. After 8 years of working, getting married/ divorced/ being crazy I decided to go back to school full-time. Hard is an understandment. Moms' brains don't hold information as well as non-mom brains, except when it pertains to their kids so I'm having to try really really hard...
