Another quick post as I am waiting for the oven to preheat and we are taking a dinner break from our endless day of tiling.
So I have been struggling with measuring myself against the successes and times and weights lifted of others instead of feeling proud of myself for what I succeeded at, what I lifted and how fast I was able to complete a workout. I also struggle with feeling that I have to watch what I eat so much more carefully than others. All of this is a mindset I am working on overcoming, one day at a time.
Crossfit recommends a diet called the Zone Diet. I hate diets and dieting but I KNOW without a doubt that I need to get control over my nutrition in order to continue making personal strides at CFA. The diet breaks everything down in to blocks, which in my opinion actually makes it really easy to put together a balanced meal. Today is day 1 of trying this approach and although the food we've eaten has been really good, I feel like I'm never quite full and always just a little bit hungry. Its an adjustment and will take some fine tuning, however as part of my goals I need to lose the weight that slowly crept back on since last year.
My goal is to lose at least 1 pound a week while maintaining my strength at the gym. Losing weight just to lose weight isn't quite as hard as losing fat while trying to build lean muscle, all while trying to run 100 miles and row 50,000 meters and make it to the gym 5 days a week :)
Time to get serious!!!
