Day 30 - Yikes!

Holy crap, I'm already halfway through my challenge!  I'll provide an update on the weight loss progress tomorrow, my morning routine was all messed up today!  Fingers crossed that I can report that I'm at least close to being halfway there.  Life just seems to get in the way.  However, today was the first morning where I weighed myself and wasn't up 3-4lbs from the weekend!

I am super excited because today is my first laser hair removal appointment, which is why I worked out at 5:30am this morning!  I'm also excited because I got a PR in my deadlift this morning.  I am NOT good at mental math, especially at 5:30 in the morning.  So as we're working on our 1 rep max I put what I thought was 235 on my bar.  Lifted it but it seemed heavy (my old max was 245).  I then added enough plates to reach 250 (or so I thought) which would be a PR.  I tried my hardest to lift that damn bar, but it wouldn't budge!  That's when coach Rich comes over and tells me I've added everything all wrong.  What I thought was 235 was actually 245 and what I thought was 250 was actually 265.  So once I got it all figured it I lifted 250, which is a 5 lb PR!  I am really excited about that!

In two weeks we will be redoing the crossfit total, which is your 1 rep max in deadlift, squat and press.  Since we started I've added 15lbs to my crossfit total, but I'd like to see that go up over the next two weeks.  So, that means I will be working out 2xday, 2-3 a week, yikes!!  Nutrition is going to be key as I try to push myself.  I know the scale is going to show my hard work PLUS it's exciting to see how much strength I've gained since I started Crossfit!

Now for some odds and ends.  First, I changed my hair and I love it!  It will take a bit of upkeep to maintain the color, but its super fun and got good reactions at work....just not immediately from the hubbs!

Second, I went to Harvey's Comedy Club on Saturday with a few girlfriends and had a blast!  It was a fundraiser for Chief Painter's family and Officer Dodds.  A great cause and tons of laughs!  I want to go back soon, so much fun!  PPD SGT Willi Halliburton put on the fundraiser, such a funny guy!

Third, I am currently reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I love it.  I'm not sure what I love more, the book or the fact that I have made time in my day to read, for pleasure, just because I want to read!

Forth, the hubbs is now solo at Salem!  I am so proud of him for making it through FTEP so quickly!  Not that I ever doubted him, I mean come on, have you seen his awards shelf?!  Lets just put it this way, I DO NOT have an awards shelf and he has one that is completely full and needs a second just to house all of his awards.  No, I don't have a complex about it....well maybe there is a little bit of jealousy there!

That's all for now, have a happy and healthy Monday!
