I need to update my blog more! I know I don't have a ton of followers but I guess the way to keep you all interested is to actually update you. Well I was successful on Whole30 (well i haven't went back to research the larabar but ya i did it) Then I had Berkley's bday and I don't know just lost it. I spun out of control and with the end of summer BBQs and this and that and the thought that tomorrow I will do better I just lost it. So today I am officially back at it! I am also challenging myself to drink a gallon of water. I became one of those people you see with their gallon of water, I have my cute Tervis cup filled with ice and keep refilling it with water.
Oh ya I was also sick, I had a headcold for like a week! Today was my first day back at Crossfit and it was great. I am very happy with my decision to join a box. But have found I need to wear poise pads, at 35 my bladder doesn't love me! All those darn kids I popped out!
Larabars are banned for awhile, I was too addicted to them. Literally addicted!!! If I saw it I had to eat it!

Day 30 of Whole30
Holy Crap I did it!!! I didn't think I would be able to and I told myself you know your friends, your blog readers, and your husband have heard you say you were going to do some form of a diet or new way of eating etc. I really wanted to prove that I could do something I had set out to do. Now today is the last day and of course throughout the 30 days I had the mentality that YES when this is over I am going to do this and eat that etc. Of course that was not the goal of Whole 30, so as I sit here thinking about it I am not running out to celebrate completing this goal. I have went 30 days with out sugar or artificial sweetners, soda, coffee, legumes, grains, and dairy. I am not a pro at making paleo type meals yet and my go to meal (which is amazing) is 1/2 to a whole sweet potato (really a yam), an apple, 1/2 onion, and meat (whatever hits your fancy or you have in the fridge) sauteed up in cocount oil. OMG YUM. Oh and plantains with guacamole, who'd thought those two would go together so well. So for now I will continue to give up soda, coffee (because I have to have it sweet), dairy, grains, and legumes will stay out of my diet as well. I plan on having 1-4 splurge meals that are planned a month. I may go back to counting calories and definitely reintroducing the scale into my daily life.
Crossfit update:
I may have talked about it this but don't think I did. I am on night 3 of 3 shifts so forgive my brain, I have a hard time remembering what day/date it is come day 3. I have finished fundamentals and now can do the WOD with everyone else. My goal is 3 days of CF and 3 days of running (1 day will be a long run). I got off work on Wednesday morning and drove straight to Outlier, the WOD was OHS (overhead squats). OK I totally suck at these!!! I barely could add 10 lbs to each side of my barbell totalling 53lbs, other chics were squatting 145lbs! Their legs are AMAZING! I hoped to get off work Thursday morning and go running but Todd had an oral surgery scheduled for 6am so when I got off I decided to run by the peridontist to check on him and he had just finished up and was given Versed ( an amnesia medication) so he had to be wheelchaired out. Ya there went my run, I went home and tucked my missing a tooth husband into bed and curled up next to him to sleep away the day. And what's up with the dentist, Berk has a 9am appt today so no CF after work but YAY for being off till tuesday so I can hit the box in the evening after sleeping and doing cheif select errands for the man.
Running update:
I bought CW-X pants, you know the super duper expensive compression pants. Wow I wish I had those after my lower body lift. I also bought my first pair of Brooks running shoes, they were amazing. I did a 3.30mile run in them tueday and had no blisters!
Well peeps I am off here to prepare for the day and the weekend!

So the Crossfit fun begins!
I finished my 5th fundamentals class today! Now I can go to The WOD with everyone else!! Woot woot! I also confronted my fear of box jumps and did the 20 inch box today :) so proud of myself!
Whole30 update: today is day 26! I have not cheated in the food realm! Now I may have ate one too many larabars, that were only supposed to be used as an emergency stash. To my own defense, my mom cane to visit, I've been to like 5 parties, celebrated Todd's promotion and been super busy! The part I have cheated on, the scale. I was 198ish when I started and today I'm 191.7, I'm really hoping to hit the 180s by sat morning. I lose weight slowly but getting back into the 180s is huge for me that's what I weighed when I moved to Texas.
Onto family news, since Todd was promoted to Chief we are going to the khaki ball Sept 22nd. I have an appt at David's Bridal at noon so I can get sized and my dress ordered. I found it online and it's amazingly beautiful and has great reviews! So I'm hitting the pool, CF, and the road along with paleo eating to get the best bod within a month I can get :)
I'll try to post more as I learn how to balance a full time night shift nursing job, a husband out to sea, 4 kids, Crossfit and a half marathon next month. My goal is 3 days CF and 3 run days with a rest day :) let operation hot body start!

Day 20!!!
Today is officially day 20 of Whole30! I have found it a lot harder to do with hubby around oh and my mom! The torture I put myself through too, Sunday night I made an amazing dinner of new york strip steaks and baby lobster tails yum. The downfall is I made cupcakes in ice cream cones for the kids and fired up plugged in the Velata fondue warmer and in went dark chocolate with the sides of masrshmallows, vanilla wafers, strawberries, and bananas! I didn't even lick the cake batter or fondue chocolate!!! I did cheat yesterday by stepping on the scale, I started day 1 at 198ish and today after bfast and crossfit i was 194.4, i really hope to get to 189 by day 30, so we shall see. Oh and I have a GREAT reason to want this weight to start dropping, Todd made Chief!!! He is currently in six weeks of hell initation, I don't even get to see him. yesterday he left at 445 in the morning and got home at 10pm! I am secretly glad he is going underway, although I have a hunch I won't be getting any emails from him until he is officially a Chief! Anyhow I think Sept 21 or 22 is the Khaki Ball and we dress in cocktail attire and I am wanting to look HOT! sorry I have been missing, I wanted to do a post from the Joggin for Frogmen 5k and my first Crossfit fundamentals class. Heres to the next 10 days! I think I will splurge when it is over and have some wine and Thai food with the hubby (if he can get a night off). Oh and a great tip, I am loving how yummy a yam (yams are what we all sweet potatoes) and apple taste together and just mix in a meat YUM!

um HELLO!!!
Wow I haven't posted an update since July 9th!!! Well that is how my life has been lol. I worked 4 night shifts in a row and I think it took me a week to catch up with sleep to feel normal again, but then its time to work again. Summer has officially started here! My kids got out of school July 20th! My stepson Austin promoted up to 9th grade and now I have THREE high schoolers!!! My son (who lives with ex because he wanted to live with him again) is a Junior, my daughter is a Sophomore, and my stepson (has sucessfully went from being an only child to a loud house of FOUR kids) is a Freshman. Chase is going into 4th grade and Berk is going into 2nd grade. Sometimes my uterus cries to be pregnant again when I see cute baby bumps or super cute baby items (they always get so much beter) then I remember FREEDOM aka empty nest sydrome is better and I can play with my grandkids! Which scary if my kids take after me I will be a gma in 4 years, I hope I teach them better than following in my footsteps on marrying and having babies young! I want them to enjoy being young!
Ok on the weight loss/half marathon training homefront! I am doing the Whole30 challenge (not sure its called that) and I am on Day 6! This is my transition to eating Paleo style afterwards. A quick 4-1-1 is you eat animal protein+veggies+fruit+healthy fat. NO sugar of any kind (no agave, no splenda, no stevia), no alcohol, no dairy, no legumes ( i so can not say that word), no grains. Ya kinda strict my last soda, coffee, glass of wine was wednesday the 18th! I have NEVER given up soda and I have so far!! woot woot I will make the 30 days!!! oh ya no counting calories or weighing yourself!!! that is the hardest part I LOVE MY SCALE!
I ran NINE long miles with Cheryl on Saturday in like 1:59 ugh it was long! I have one training session left at 24hr fitness and start Crossfit on Monday, I am still scared an nervous.

Lose a Half Marathon
Did you know that there is 13 weeks of summer? I didn’t but now I do since I joined a challenge with a name. You could choose to lose a marathon or a half marathon, I know I lose weight super slow so I choose to lose a half. I missed the Monday of 6/18 start so I sent my start weight in on 6/22/12.
6/22/12 203.6
6/25/12 199.9
7/2/12 200.3
7/9/12 198.9
So far a total of 4.7 lbs. I really hope to see the 180s by Labor Day. My military wife challenge starts back up on Friday, so I will technically owe a weigh in on Friday and Monday, I will try to work it around my work schedule though. Oh and I dated the training schedule for my half and this was actually week one! so pretty awesome!

so lack of sleep
caused me to sign up for a half marathon!!! I got off work friday morning and see a facebook post about a TWENTY dollar half marathon here in San Diego!!!! I immediately whipped out my credit card and registered. Then I texted my running buddy and was like come on I know you are running AFC half in Aug but you just have to do this $20 one in Sept and so I got all her info and registered her since she was going out to sea with her hubby for family day.
Since I can't really run with West Coast Road Runners anymore I am going to use Hal Hidgon's training plan. My sweet husband looked it up and printed it for me and I asked if he printed the novice plan up and he said no intermediate since you have ran halfs before. HMMMMM
Did a 7 mile run/walk today in 1:35 not too bad for not really training yet. Well I am off to bed to end this weekend and start out the week! Peace peeps :)
