Who signs me up for this crap?????

Day one of Cross Fit on the Move.  Oh My God!  I thought I was gonna hurl and I wasn't even a third of the way thru the workout.  I finished though, made it home, put laundry away, showered, got the boy in bed and got some work done.  I won't make it to bed on time tonight, but I worked out like a mo-fo today.  Here is the workout in case anyone wants to follow along:

Warm up:

• Rowing (machine obviously since we didn't have a boat handy) 200m
• Squats - 2 minutes 
• 10 pushups (good form - keep that butt tucked in!)
• 400m run

Workout:

• 400 m run
• 15 pullups, pushups and squats
• 12 pullups, pushups and squats
• 9 pullups, pushups and squats
• 400m run

I completed in 14:04.  I'm guessing this was a benchmark workout and I will probably do this again soon to see my progress.  Hopefully, I'll make some.  #1 progress is to not feel nauseous after the run and the first set of pullups.  After that I went outside for a minute to cool off, catch my breath.  Next time I want to pace myself so I can make it through without stopping.  #2 progress is to do an actual pull up - using the bar - and not the modification of the ring row.  #3 progress is to not do girlie push ups - legs straight, butt tucked, pound them out.  My squats were my best format - had those down pat.  One lady nearby clicked every time she did one.  Thankfully that wasn't me.  Today.  However, tomorrow is probably another thing altogether.  

This morning I had weighed in at 170.8.  We'll see if I cross the 170 barrier in the morning.  Fingers crossed...well they would be if they didn't hurt like the rest of me.  

I also got the guide for the gluten free diet - not sure I have the strength to start that until the weekend.  Planning is #1 and with nothing but rice chex and skim milk for breakfast, I'm not gonna be able to start right away.  I struggle with maintaining interest past the first week so with everyone watching (so to speak) I have to definitely make more of an effort.  And no more wasting fresh veggies by buying them and letting them rot in the fridge while I eat cookies and microwaved pizzas.  How stupid is that right?  

I am struggling with the idea of deprivation.  I know I shouldn't be feeling that way because I will be full, but right now it feels like I am giving up the good stuff.  I need to change the mindset to giving up the bad stuff.  Like if I was giving up cigarettes or something like that.  I know I need to give up the sodas...today I read that the same ingredient used in flame retardant is used in Mountain Dew.  So in those commercials where the kids do stupid things...there's a reason for that.  I need to warn my cousin in Florida who drinks those like I drink Diet Pepsi's.  I'm sure she'd say the same thing back to me....aspartame causes brain damage and increases my chances of getting diabetes.  AWESOME!  No wonder I can't think anymore.

Well, the nausea has passed, but the exhaustion is setting in.  Happy Tuesday everyone!
