I am going to start this again for accountability.
1. I started running again! 2. Run x3 and some body weight after runs, plus randomly (I mean, how hard are calf raises?). 3. Eat like a normal person instead of a giant pig! 4. I can run! 11:15 mile Saturday - I am so relieved as I expected to be up around 14 based on how I feel.
The Caymans in April are motivating me. I want to be able to wear anything in my closet with confidence, and buy a new swimsuit. Dropping ten pounds in three months and toning seems viable!
2. What are your work out goals for the week? Number? Type? Monday: 4 miles Tuesday: 5if I'm feeling it when the alarm goes off, then lift right after work Wed: 3 either in the early hours or during fencing, but last week the treadmill kept blowing a breaker so maybe not. Thurs: group run-4 miles Friday rest Sat: long run in am. Whatever I have left to get to my weekly goal. Sunday: lift
3. What are your food goals for the week? Stay close to RP but I'm not weighing carbs until I officially go back on Base in a few weeks
4. Any non-scale victories? My mileage is the highest it's ever been. 20-24 each week since the end of December.
Bonus:What is motivating you right now? Joining a running group has been the best thing ever!! Now I connect with them on all the apps and it's so motivating!

1. I got workouts in and my eating over the weekend was not great but I also hosted a party so it was expected. My 3rd workout wasn't scaled and i literally almost puked. 2. 2 crossfit workouts. Hopefully the stars align and i can get one in Friday afternoon. I need to squeeze in 2 piyo workouts. 3. Keep my eating in check while OOT again and then through the weekend. 4. Not having to scale the WOD on Friday. Bonus: short term is a trip to Charleston with DH in May. I want to feel great. Then in October I am a bridesmaid in a wedding and all the other bridesmaids are what Fat Amy in pitch perfect refers to as twig bitches. I would like to close the gap when it comes to me being "the fat one" I'm fine not being the thinnest but right now it's by a landslide.

1. I was on vacation from Wed-Mon. I managed to drop into a crossfit class one day (in another country!). I was supposed to go a second time, but my taxi never showed. So I ran a 3K on an elliptical. This is HUGE for me. I don't cardio well. I relaxed my guilt about eating but didn't overstuff myself.
2. Trying to fit in 4 CF workouts between now and Sunday.
3. Food - nothing specific. Just trying to "clean" it up a bit.
4. NSV - don't know if I mentioned this or not. But I was doing a strength-training cycle and when we re-tested at the end, I increased on 7 of the 8 lifts we tested. The only one I missed was my deadlift, and that's one movement where it's not surprising to get stuck (unfortunately!).
My motivation is... the fact that most of my clothes are dumpy and I want to feel like my best self before revamping my wardrobe.
