Starting from scratch

OK, I said I needed a kick in the booty and I got one. After an unsuccessful weekend (I weighed in Monday at 228), I started doing CrossFit. And it was definitely the kick I needed. After doing way too many squats, my legs felt like Jell-O. And all I did was an INTRO session. This is going to be interesting.

And I already got in trouble! I was sent a form to log my food, so I dutifully noted my two cereal bars as snacks and a sandwich for lunch. It turns out that grains and processed foods are bad. Oops. So I loaded up on fruits, veggies, chicken and fish at the grocery store on my way home. I guess I'm being forced to do this a much healthier way.

So I finished the day off strong (I think) with chicken and spinach for dinner.

One bright spot of the day was chatting with a reader who found me on Facebook and is going to start walking around North Central Park for exercise. I love hearing your stories! They are great motivation and I truly believe there is power in numbers. We can encourage each other.
