Really feeling great.....

I am. Last night I ended up having an Easy Mac and a hamburger patty for dinner. It was the perfect size meal and quick and easy. Not the healthiest I'm aware, but tasty.

So Saturday I ran, Sunday I did strength training, Monday morning I did strength training, Monday evening I ran. This morning I did the elliptical and tonight I walked. I'm really, really feeling good. I am having some stomach issues and I can't quite figure out what's going on but I'm working on that.

I continue to love my new car but I'm really getting frustrated with my cell phone. This weekend I may go shopping and see what's new in cell phones. Mine has a habit of not hanging up when I'm done with a call. Ugh!!! So I may do that this weekend.

They started the announcements at school today by telling us that there are 18 instructional days until Christmas break. Woot!!!!!

Okay, that's all I got. I'm off.

That actually isn't that bad of a meal...I'd add in some green beans or peas or something, for fiber. Just found your blog, love the name!

I am walking on my treadmill at the moment. It is 5:30 a.m. and I really want to do another 5 minutes or so. I started my 2nd week of WW on Saturday and while I am not perfect, I am far better than I was without it. Yesterday when I came home from work I was not exhausted. I did get tired in the afternoon and I did have some coffee to drink, but I did not nap when I came home. Huge success. Also, I want to walk on my treadmill in the mornings. Yesterday I only had about 15 minutes, but I did it. Today I rushed to get everything done so I could jump on. It took a while, but I think I'm beginning to turn the corner on energy. Jeez I hope so. I probably shouldn't get too excited. I should see if it happens again today. The thing today is, I have no last period and we are having the honors assembly. I could leave at 12:35. I'm trying to decide if I want to or not. I could stay and sit through a boring assembly and then after school. Or I could leave early and come home and ge…

Seriously weak upper body

The muscles used in pull-ups:


The muscles used in push ups:


The muscles used in a kettlebell swing:


That is what I have, a seriously weak upper body. My legs are strong. I have thick, muscular thighs and my calves pop, but my upper body - bleh.... So that's what I'm really hoping to improve through crossfit. I want a toned, well defined upper body. I realize that it's going to take time, and I am getting there. I have muscles in my arms that I never had before. Awesome.

Last night's Crossfit workout:

800 m run40 pull-ups (I did jumping pull-ups and am getting quite good at them)80 push-ups (I used a low band that helped support my hips)120 kettlebell swings - with a 25# kettlebell800 m run There was a 30 minute time cap and I did it in 30:40 - not too shabby. As you can see we worked the same muscles over and over and over and over.....it was brutal. But that's what I need to work on so I'm really not complaining.  I am a little sore this morning though :)

Wish I knew what was wrong

My foot hurts. Specifically my left foot hurts on the inside of the heel, it's almost the Achilles tendon but not quite.
Right there where that black circle is. Now I know exactly what tendon it is. It is very painful. It only hurts when I do a certain workout - which I did last night. I haven't been doing that workout because it made my foot hurt. The pain went away and I thought I'd give it a try. Now this morning I'm in pain. I don't know what to do about this. Is it my shoes? The floor at the gym? Some biomechanical thing? I just don't know and it's really starting to annoy me. Maybe I should take something? Would hgh releasers work? I've heard they help a lot of ailments.... I just don't know what to do. The worse part is I can not run like this and the shoes don't seem to help much. Actually, I just had a thought as I was typing this... Maybe if I ran on soft surfaces like grass. I may give that a try. This morning is stre…
