Progress Pics

Today my CrossFit Challenge went to 9 sets and we are almost the end of teaching Amy how to do big girl push ups and building some lats.  So I thought I would take the opportunity to celebrate the progress and also look back to an old photo where I weighed the same (pre-baby even) and realize how much I have changed my body and mind without changing the scale.  Yes I even gave you a glimpse of said picture in this video.  This picture was 10 years old and I have made most of my changes in the past 4-5 years on diet and increasing my water intake.  But man when I look back at how much happier and stronger I feel - I wanted to remind myself and others that the number on the scale and the abs are not the thing to focus on - it's the health.  And one of my favorite quotes of all time right now is You can not have a happy ending with an unhappy journey.  And I am enjoying the process and the fun of trying new things and seeing what works in my life and what doesn't.  It's all just part of the process... and progress ;)

Getting back on TRACK!

I STILL do not have a video camera that works and I can see my posting frequency AND the comments going down without the video.  HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE: I will have one by this weekend!  So in the mean time I am sharing a pic of me in my new Under Armour gear with my son behind me flexing (just for you Mr. Flo).  

I LOVE Under Armour.  I am going to be a tough B#!%! #%@%! chick in that gear.  Gotta say this new hat is just fabulous and fits to my head perfectly.  I am going to do the TRX workout in it tonight and see how it breathes.  My excuse for the shopping spree.... I need cold weather running gear.  (Yeah don't be like my husband and ask why then I had a short sleeve T shirt in the mix).  :)

OH SNAP has it been a bad week of food and drink and lack of moving the body!  We all fall off the wagon right!?! It is being announced right now that I am moving on to a new opportunity at the day job and that has me running ragged and on non-stop calls.  I am so excited but you know how moving on can always be bitter sweet.  I have only been doing 1/3 of the water I normally do and I am feeling YUCKY.

Running went great last week.  I ran the target schedule and posting on the Daily Mile is helping alot!  I love that people are seeing the distance, frequency, and time.  I struggled hard on the 5 mile run.  I know I am training my breathing and attention span more than my legs.  It helps so much that the hubby ran ahead of me so I couldn't slow down.  BUDDY UP on line and in real life - they are both pushing me.

What do you do to get back on track?  I am starting tonight with TRX but I am also contemplating a juice fast.  Anyone have an experience on kicking off healthy eating with that?  Would love to hear!

Have a kick butt week and Happy Hump Day!!!
