Crushing Goals

It's been three weeks since I have started my food plan that Jamie from Max Muscle in Cool Springs wrote me and I am THRILLED to announce that I have lost three percent body fat! My starting numbers were 137lbs and 22% body fat and as of today, I am 134lbs and 19% body fat - so I am finally in the "athlete" percentage category. 

You know how I apologized in advance in my last post for being hangry (hungry + angry)? Well there's no need for me to apologize, because I can honestly say that I have not had a single low blood sugar meltdown because I am always satiated. Now I would be lying if I didn't say that I sometimes crave eating a giant double-decker grilled cheese and my weight in french fries for dinner, but Jamie has me eating foods every two to three hours that I already eat like bison, brussel sprouts, avocado, turkey bacon and peanut butter. Sometimes I even have to force myself to eat once my three hours is up and that rarely happens with me, usually I can't wait until I my next meal. I am also a big fan of the chocolate Max Muscle Triple Whey Protein I have to drink three times a day and I look forward to drinking it after my CrossFit workouts. 

Me and my weave a mess after 13.3. I have no desire to knock out 150 wall balls in a row ever again. The day after I felt like I do after I run a marathon, including the going down stairs part. Ouch.

Besides being well on my way to my goal of 16% body fat, last Thursday I crushed my goal of being able to do a pull-up during the 13.5 workout (4 minute AMRAP of 15 65lb thrusters and 15 chest to bar). At first, I was upset that I didn't get any chest to bar reps, but me being pissed off quickly went away when James informed me that I got my chin well above the bar at least 10 times in my attempts to get my chest to the bar. Which btw, I think I could have gotten my chest to the bar if I had big boobs...just sayin'. So now that my pull-up goal has been reached and I still need to "master" the snatch and after yesterday's WOD that involved rope climbs, I think also need to set the goal of being able to climb that stupid thing (que elementary school gym class flashbacks).

On a completely unrelated note, I also finally moved into my condo two weeks ago and it's finally started to feel like my home. It's a total girl place and there's no brown or variation of brown allowed. It's gray, white, black, purple and pink, with splashes of zebra, Missoni and ZGallerie Montecito print. Not that I have anything against the color brown (even though I rarely even wear the color), I was just in brown and tan hell for almost three years, so this is me finally getting to decorate like I want :) I am pretty sure my favorite room is my bedroom and bathroom and it's a tie between my mounted TV with no cords showing (I hate hate hate cords. The day everything is wireless will be a day when I'll be a little less anal) and my Kohler Moxie shower head (that thing rocks) for my favorite thing in my condo. 

Pretty much everything I bought for my place is from Gilt, ZGallerie, Target and Homegoods, including the zebra runner and the "Keep Glam and Rock On" framed poster. Trendy without breaking the bank!

My seven month old Airedale puppy Farley is also a big fan of the place. We are a two minute walk from the dog park and there are lots of dogs in the neighborhood that he can play with. He also loves the purple couch.
