On a Wing and a Prayer!
Hey all the beautiful Peoples from Bodyspace who read my blogs!!
Yesterday after talking to my trainer (KVNJames) and after some encouragment from Ambrosia (that girl is SO awesome!!) I have decided to train with the goal of doing the Alamo Showdown!! To me this signifies two things…..one I’ve set another date to keep me challenging myself and i’m one of those people who REALLY has to be training for something to keep motivated! (Hey…I lost those 100lbs 7 years ago and have kept it off by having goals that keep me motivated!!)
Two it signifies my belief that all the things in the universe that need to come together so that I can BE in Texas by October 4th happen!! Simply put ‘I BELIEVE!’
Today was my first day back to clean and 5 meals a day….no food in between!! I found myself hungry…or at least feeling ‘nibbly’ a few times. GUM is to be my best friend for the next 15 weeks again!!
I have started biking to work and have made the commitment to do so everyday that is nice!! I am not totally sure on how many km’s it is….but it took me 23 minutes to get there! And 28 against a BAD headwind to get home tonight! But I absolutely loved it and feel amazing!!
At 7pm I again biked…and went to the park for my workout!! I did 2 - 400metre runs and in between each run did handstands and handstand pushups!! I actually pulled a glute muscle a bit on a handstand (going up…lol) and had to stretch the heck out of it to get that ‘charlie horse’ feeling out of me arse! lmao
Tomorrow my bootie will be mixing up the gym workout and the outdoor workout as I want to try saturdays WOD on the crossfit sight!! But I also want to get in a good bike ride as well!!
PIXIE…i’m so TOTALLY impressed that you did the last workout!! YOU ROCK GIRL!!
If anyone wants the more modified versions that I use to train my intermediate level clients with…I have no problem sharing them!! But I do need the request and the email addy!!
Well everyone! I’m off to read other blogs!! lol And to rest and relax!! Tomorrow I have the day off…so I will be hitting the gym hard!! And praying for news from my local politician about where my settlement from my ex is at!!
Lots of warm fuzzies to all of you!!
In the Eye of the Storm!

Good for you!! The eating clean is the hardest part and hate when the nibblies attack…not giving in is great! My show is in October too(first one!..yikes ;o/)….so it’s going to be nice to have someone to relate to and who has been through it already. It’s so hard to eat clean in the summer..bbq’s, cold beer, chips……
I’m heading to the gym this morning!!
Keep the blogs coming!! : ) You Rock!!

I can’t wait to try intermediate 1 tonight! I keep going to crossfit.com to watch the videos over and over. I also brought more carbs with me today. I get the feeling I"m going to need it.

YAY, what a great new goal and I know you’ll rock it as much as the last one!! Awesomeness, chickie, and you know we’ll be rooting for you throughout your journey towards comp!!
And thank you very much for the props!! I want to do all burpees fully, though, so until then, I am not satisfied!!
