Finding a Track to Get Back On...

Well, I made it to Colorado. Those last two weeks were pretty full. Okay, more than that. Days started early and ended late. Exercise went away and food went to mostly one good meal a day, with fruit and nuts for a snack, and the occasional protein shake. The good news is, I never did pick up wheat or any other of my trigger foods. YEA!! And, I made the planes.

Trekking through three airports with two bags totaling over 50 pounds I was thinking I should be clocking this mileage as a WOD.

So I'm arrived but not settled. Several times over the last few weeks I did things I could not have done BC (before CrossFit). Like lean over and tie my shoes - with room to spare. No problem! The good news is I have a chin-up bar here. I'm going to look for bands in Wal-Mart.

I'm off to explore...!

Finally started back. Got lots of sleep last night and had a the evening free. Feels GREAT! Gotta go plan the rest of the week.

Changes, Changes and Changes

November 10, and I'm still planning to get back at this. Really. Today.

Last week was 18+ hour days with a couple HUGE things going on, and I just haven't made WOs the priority they need to be. This week I'm suddenly in transition (moving 1500 miles for a few weeks or months), looking at possibly longer days, but still need to get back to it. Waiting until I'm established there would not be smart.

The good news is I'll be in Colorado Springs and I'm hoping to get a membership (or something) in a CF facility - and maybe my DDIL will go too? That would be fun. Stay tuned.

My lower back is still tweaked from losing focus on the DL 3 weeks ago so posting requests for suggestions on back exercises, etc.

Today I will do something. My plan is to do the WOD one day behind because my son is doing that in Iraq - and we can spur each other on. ;-D Still going...

Track: Week 12

Sunday 11/2 - No excuse
Monday 11/3 - REST DAY
Tuesday 11/4 -
Wednesday 11/5 -
Thursday 11/6 -
Friday 11/7 -
Saturday 11/8 -

Sticking with the same goal from last month. I've been pretty *draggy* since getting back 5 days ago, and I realized today it could be no exercise, but it also could be I can't remember the last time I had a real rest day. I've been going 7 days a week, 6-7AM through 11PM-2AM for weeks. I know I need rest days. Will have to see about that. Of course, could be a combo of both.

Finished up month way short, did nothing since back from trip. Lots of changes. Need to suck it up and get with the program.

Catching Up and Gearing Up

Well, the trip turned out to be life changing. The WOs pretty much bit the dust. I did do a little while there, underscore *little.* Once I got back, I did nothing. Zip, nada.

I have excuses - but have found using excuses counter-productive. My definition of an excuse is "the reason people find to explain why they did not do what they did not want to do in the first place."

This really feels like I did not want to do WOs once back, so used excuses to justify it to myself.

Regardless of reasons or excuses, I must get back to this. My life has changed again so it will take more adjustments to fit WOs in. That's okay. WOs are that important.

Sleep has slipped back to 5-6 hours, food is catch as catch can, but still pretty paleo with MUFAs, weightloss has continued (praise God!) through all the changes.

I can do this. I am anointed to be in health on a level the world is not familiar with, all to the glory of God. I can do this.
