Slept solid but woke up feeling tired as HELL. I was dragging ass all morning...I think it was because on Sunday I spent the day out and about rather than sitting on my couch and relaxing. I need a day to totally veg out sometimes.
Food: Sugar Detox Day 1...100% on point for the first time in a long time. No cheats, no slip ups, no cravings. I am elimnating all dairy as well--I was still eating cheese pretty regularly. I'm even taking out almond milk for right now just to see how my body does on water alone.
WOD:
Honestly, strength days kind of bore me. Yes, they make me sweat and I feel like I've worked out but I don't feel satisfied until I am DRENCHED. So, yesterday was my skip day I guess. Rear leg elevated squats really bother my foot anyways so I decided to take advantage of the gorgeous day and go for a run. I ran on and off for about 4 miles. Running helps me drop weight faster anyways and that is really what I am looking to do at this point.
Running WOD tonight...I usually hate them but I am feeling pretty confident about it at this point

Maria Sugar DT Day 4
Slept better last night, 10pm- 6:45am, woke up once around 3am and fell back asleep. WOD today:
A. Back squat - 1 RM- 175
B. Front Squat - 2 RM- 135
C. OHS - 3 RM-90
Totally disappointed in myself today. My previous 1 RM on 5/17 was 185. I got 175, and then tried 190 and failed. Thank God I had a good spotter! I felt weird today, really dizzy and light headed, like my blood pressure was too low or something. I picked up the bar to do my FS and I got really dizzy and had to drop the bar it was so strange. Jay reminded me that the emphasis of my programming is to improve on body weight stuff, gymnastics and to get faster- NOT strength. Tomorrow is a chipper, I am nervous about it already....
Sugar DT going well:
8:30am- 6 oz can of tuna, 1 cucumber, 1 TBSP olive oil mayo- Homemade
12:30pm- 6 oz chicken breast, 1 C cooked broccoli, 1 TBSP olive oil mayo, salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, 2 TBSP balsamic vinegar, 1 sheet sushi nori (toasted seaweed vegetable)
4:10p- 20 small olives, 6 macadamia nuts
6pm- 3 oz steamed calamari, 1 C cooked cabbage, onion, crushed tomato
7p-8p- taught a weight class
8:30p- 3 oz turkey (off the bird), 1 TBSP olive oil mayo

Amanda M...Day 199, 200 & 201
Holy shit, we are in the 200's. The time has flown by and it feels like I haven't done anything yet. I hate that feeling!
Friday: Workout was great. I havent felt that good in a WOD since before my foot injury so it was an amazing feeling. Its so crazy to see how eating right really affects your performance. The bf and I went to Joey C's for dinner afterwards. I was going to behave but temptation got the best of me. I got the cali-quesadilla. How can I pass up turkey, bacon and cheese?
Sat & Sun: Lots of drinking happened this weekend...and bad eating. I am starting my sugar detox today so it was kind of a last hoorah before my 21 day torture lol
I know the first few days of the detox will be hell but I have heard wonderful things about the results. Obviously weight loss is my main goal with this YLA but with the detox I am looking to improve my performance...and hopefully clear up my skin. My mom has been telling me since I was a kid that my body reacted to sugar and carbs way worse than anyone she's known so hopefully, even after the 21 days, I will be able to stick to this thing.
Great to have you back Maria!

Maria Sugar DT Day 3
I went camping Sat night and did not have access to a computer. There were tons of camping temptations: Smores, cookies, chips, watermelon, cheese, crackers, all that shit that I love, but I didn't have anything. Food Today:
8am: turkey bacon and scrambled eggs. I know I ate way more than I needed to- When there are all these temptations around I just eat more of the things I can to help me get through it. Food still has a strong hold on me.
9:45-10:45- 1 hour recovery run- 4.6 miles
1pm- chicken drumstick and chicken thigh, broccoli, green salad with olive oil and vinegar
6:30pm- steak with home made olive oil mayo, 1 slice corned beef.
Didn't measure portions at the campsite, will resume tomorrow.
Not sleeping at all, Uncomfortable in a tent on an air mattress that deflated, then my kids were up at like 5am. I have been reading more and more about how lack of sleep can halt all progress no matter how clean you are eating and how hard you are training. This week I am going to focus on going to bed earlier.

Maria Sugar DT day1
I figured what the hell, might as well start today with the detox thing- No fruit fresh or dry, nothing with artificial sweeteners including sugarless gum and breath mints (I love gum and mints). Sooooo I feel so out of touch with everyone, and I have not had any sense of accountability. I was doing so well with the blogging! I feel so disconnected! Today, I recommit to the YLA- We were all so enthusiastic in the beginning and I want that feeling back. So far so good today. I taught a kickboxing class this morning and then went to CFM for this WOD:
A. Thruster, 5.5.5.5, rest 90 seconds: 70.75.80.85- TOUGH
B.1 Wide grip BB bent over row, 4 x 5-7, 31X1, rest 1 minute: 85/6.85/7.85/7.85/7
B.2 1 1/4 CG Bench, 4 x 6, rest 1 minute: 85/6.85/6.90/4.90/4
+
wearing a 20# vest
60 sec. on AD AFAP
rest/walk for 3 minutes x 5: Calories: 19/21/23/20/24

Getting stronger, weights have increased since starting the programming, I still feel as if I am so slow. Nutrition is so critical, it is truly the foundation of everything! That and sleep. I have not had a good night's sleep in a LONG time. I have been up with my kids or I am too hot, or I am hormonal, you name it. I just want to sleep through the night! Oh and try going on a cruise for a week and eating whatever and then going to CFM. Not fun. This week was a struggle in the gym, plus I taught 5 classes this week. Today is the first day that I am not totally sore from head to toe! Looking forward to seeing everyone at the meeting!

Amanda M...Day 198
Slept well, solid as usual
Food: Was good all day. Had half a tuna sandwich at dinner cause I was too lazy to make anything else. One slide of whole wheat bread and a whole can of tuna, spoon of mayo
WOD:
Felt strong as shit today, for once.
Sumo DL: 3.2.1.3.2.1 got up to 145 on the mixed grip
Sled pulls: I did 225# with the boys haha I love grabbing the straps from them when they are done and not take any weight off...then pass it along to another. Didn't really struggle with it either
Farmers carry: 55#
30# overhead ball throw: almost broke my back on the last one haha threw it right up in the air and almost caught it with my face
Night all

Amanda M..Day 197
Slept HARD. I was supposed to wake up and go running but I immediately shut my alarm off and passed out within a second. Sometimes when your body wants you to sleep, you should just listen
Food was on point. Missed my second snack because I had to leave work early to go to the bank for my job. Ended up home by 4....took a nap til 5:15 haha my body loves sleep!
WOD:
Today's workout just was not something I wanted to subject myself to. I hate to admit that. It takes A LOT for me to skip a WOD but when there's running and wall balls with rounds for time, I just freak out. Too much pressure for me. So I went for a run instead...did about 4.2 miles which is the furthest I have gone, literally, in my life lol kinda sad but whatever. It was nice though. I'm thinking of doing 530 am WODs and going running after work instead. I like running in the head and humidity, not sure why. Plus sometimes the 530 pm class is insanely crowded
Hope everyone is doing well
