Reality Check

Another tough WOD and I succeeded at not letting my frustration get the best of me.  I am proud of myself for that.  I didn't get mad at the jump ropes and kept trying the entire 5 minutes.  I tried to run the 400 meters and that hill got me halfway up.  I tried not to stop but I couldn't figure out the breathing and was getting so exhausted.  I kept moving though. I had the cutest running partner.  The coach's kids are awesome athletes and one of them ran with me again.  She'll never understand how motivating that is to me.  But it made me push myself harder.  I'm going to be able to keep up with those kids one day.  And that is my motivation to keep running.

Attach an object at precisely 12″ above your maximum reach with rope or cord, and complete 4 rounds for time of:

30 Jump and touch
125 pound Deadlift, 20 reps
10 Push-ups

Time: 23:31

I never succeeded at touching that bar above my head.  Jumping is harder than it seems.  But I did every one of those jumps and tried. 

That 125lb. deadlift for 20 reps at a time were so hard.  That bar was so heavy.  I didn't think I would be able to do all 4 rounds and thought about dropping the weight several times but I really wanted to do it.  And I'm proud of myself for not giving up.  I put my faith in my trainers that if they thought it was too heavy or I was doing it wrong they would have said something to me and made me drop the weight down.  Since they didn't do that I kept on.  So glad I did! 

Getting my knees off the floor for the push ups is so hard but I did it every time.  May not have been pretty but I did it. 

Got caught off guard with a chat about nutrition.  I needed to talk nutrition because I haven't done very well lately.  I don't know who was more disappointed me or the coach in how horrible I've done with my eating this month.  I tried to tell him I hadn't lost any weight this month and he kept saying I had.  And as much as I want to prove him wrong at times... this is not something I ever want to prove him wrong on ever again!!!  He didn't even want to tell me.  I should know by now to expect to be asked to get on the scale.  And to be prepared. 

So, the new nutrition plan is
1 Regular day
2 Lower Carb days
1 Regular day
2 Lower Carb days
1 Regular day with 1 allowable cheat meal this day. 
Have to eat breakfast within 30 minutes of getting up in the morning
Have to eat every 3 hours

I'm going to start this on Friday as I need to go grocery shopping and make sure I have all my food to prep.  This is going to be hard but if I can just get through the first week I think I'll be okay.  I needed this wake up call.  And having to admit what my go to foods are and what I've been eating is a reality check.  I thought it would be by keeping track on here but the difference I discovered is admitting the truth to someone else is more eye opening than what is on a piece of paper or in this case a blog.  If I could have crawled in a hole right then and there I would have.  Between admitting what I really eat and not losing any weight just smacked me in the butt!!!  Now, it's time to get serious!
