Took Friday off from working out again. I was in such a funk from work. I was stressed, exhausted and just wanted to sit on my ass and do nothing. I used my back as an excuse but really, even if I was at 100% I doubt I would have went.
Friday's stress also broke me down--I ate chocolate. Bye bye Sugar Detox. It was hell knowing you.
Honestly, the thought of not being able to eat sugar was so depressing to me. Hopefully it was a nice little training period for the lurong challenge because I have to be sugar free for 9 fucking weeks. At least there is more motivation to stick to that...prizes!
Im in a weight loss contest with Chris through a blog he follows. I hate it. I hate weighing myself--it is so damn hard to see those numbers and not want to hide under my comforter all day. I am so glad the next challenge isnt weight based. I also hope I dont want to quit the next challenge half way through just like I quit everything else halfway through--sometimes its easier to fail by choice than to fail after trying to hard. I think that's my biggest issue....
Monday...I feel like shit. I ate stupid this weekend and I feel so sick from it. I hate my willpower--or lack of it.

Amanda M...Day 212
Slept like shit. My back was in such pain, I couldn't get comfortable. Anytime I moved, it sent shooting pains along my back.
Food was on point, haven't been having problems with that. The cravings are still there but I think its more of a boredom/habit thing at this point. I just really want some fucking marshmallows and chocolate in my mouth.
WOD--didnt work out. I was able to get to the doctor and he cracked me realllllll good. Then put icy hot all over my back. I felt like I was on fire most of the day and I smelled like shit but it felt nice. I took the day off to relax and let shit get back into place. Still bothering me today but not nearly as bad as it felt when it first happened.
I am all signed up for the lurong living paleo challenge and I am fucking pumped! I want to win some cool shit! Mainly clothes and shoes.....most girls love heels and dresses, I love sneakers and workout pants.
Sadly, I have a list of things I want to eat before my 9 week EXTREMELY strict paleo diet starts on Sept 17. It's pretty long........I need to cut some of it out haha not like I'm never going to be able to eat this stuff again in my life. I'm just hoping that at the end of the contest, I won't have any desire to.

Amanda M...Day 211
Slept great, went to bed relatively early cause I had intentions of getting up to run---same story, different day. Woke up, forgot why I was supposed to be up that early, passed back out.
Food: Sugar Detox
No cheats, perfectly clean. This will be my last week of eating sausage in the morning per Dr. Jaime's suggestion. Why not stop now? Cause I bought the stuff and a girl on a budget doesn't let food go to waste lol
WOD:
A whole bunch of 3 min amraps. Wasn't too horrible but those 3 minutes went by so slow
Totally and completely fucked up my back. I've been having random pain in one spot for a year now and have just worked through it but those wall balls last night really did me in. It hurts to even breathe right now. I just get sharp shooting pains in my back that take my breath away, its unreal.
Just made an appointment at the chiropractor. Hopefully he can fix me up and give me some tips!

14:10- definitely sweating like a Mo Fo on this one! Weights were perfect, heavy but manageable. My shoulders are already sore!
9 am Post WOD: 3 oz tilapia
10am- 1 Cup egg whites, spinach, 3 oz avocado
2pm- 4 oz turkey leg, big salad with lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, home made salsa and lemon juice
7pm- 3 small chicken drumsticks, baked sole, green salad with egg and ham on it, a little EVOO
Bigger dinner than usual, we spent the day at the beach and stopped at a restaurant for dinner but I kept it clean! When I got home my first thought was that I wanted some nuts. I picked up the bag of macadamia nuts and said to myself "HAVE TEA INSTEAD!!!" I put the bag away and made herbal tea. Then I got out of the kitchen ASAP and did not go back. I also focused on the kids and getting them ready for bed!
Obviously I was not hungry for more food, yet I was going to eat those nuts as I have done so many times before. I think I do it to help me relax, or out of habit, or maybe just because they are delicious. The point is I wasn't hungry. I am just glad I didn't eat them.
Amanda M...Day 210
Went to bed too late, again. I always have plans to go to bed early but they never work out lol
Food: Sugar Detox Day 10
Sugar cravings are non-existant, finally. I can watch food network without wanting to cry and I dont have to find things to stay busy to keep myself from going into my pantry and murdering some chocolate chips.
WOD: Alot harder than it looked...but isn't that always the case?
3 rounds
Single RDL: Stayed with the 45lb bar. I am ALWAYS pulling my hamstring on deadlifts so I kept the weight light in order to avoid that.
Parrallel bar holds 20-30 sec
T2B no kipping
K2E
+12 min amrap: all unbroken
8 DL
5 HPC
3 Push Jerks
100m run
I used 85# and holy hell did that get heavy fast. I think I got about 5 rounds in? The running wasn't horrible compared to the rest of it, shockingly. Coach Miggs came up to me afterwards and told me how awesome my form is and that he loves having me in his classes because he doesn't have to worry about me lol always nice to hear stuff like that.
Ugh, scale hasn't moved in 3 days. I know I shouldnt be weighing myself, especially that frequently, but I cant help it. Once I see that it isnt moving, I obsess even more. I dont know whats wrong...I workout everyday, I haven't slipped up on my food AT ALL, been sugar free...I dont get it.

Maria Sugar DT day 12
Hi Amanda, hope you are doing okay- I was so bummed to miss the mtg Monday night, I really needed to be there. WOD today:
19:09
Happy with my weights in the OHS and hang squat clean. Anything from the hang position is hard for me, I think because of my back but I felt strong today.
I have been going a little too crazy with the olive oil mayo the past couple of days, I mean like on the verge of binging, so I need to NOT have that right now. I can tell I have been eating too much fat and not enough carbs- I just feel out of balance and FAT. No sugar though, so that's good. My co worker was chewing a piece of gum yesterday and I really wanted a piece but I resisted!
A. OHS, 8.6.4, rest 2 minutes: 65.75.85
B. Hang Squat Clean, 3.3.3, rest 90 seconds:85.100.105

Amanda M...Day 209
Need to go to bed earlier. 10:30-11 is just pushing it and I can feel how it affects me throughout the day. Right now, all I want to do is curl up under my desk and sleep for another hour.
Food:
B- sausage and 2 eggs
S- green apple with almond butter
L- homemade paleo jambalaya- chicken, shrimp, bell peppers, onions, chicken stock, thyme, parsley, chili powder, garlic, cauliflower 'rice'....soooo good.
S- red peppers
D- chicken with sauteed onions, zuchinni and sweet potato with garlic and herb seasoning
WOD:
Went for a 4 mile run/walk. It was sooo nice out and the workout at CFM just didn't appeal to me. When half of the movements involve pullups, I just get annoyed because I'm stuck doing modifications. Ring rows, ring rows, ring rows! AHH! Not a fan of them
AMAZING meeting last night. Honestly, those of you who didn't join us (which it was only Yadi Kathy and I for most of it--Morgan joined after her class) you really missed out. Although, it was pretty nice having a more intimate session with Dr. Jaime. It was like having a one on one consultation. Yadi and I pretty much have the same goals, same hardships and addictions so it was great for her to ask questions I didnt know I needed an answer to and vise versa. I really needed that meeting last night! Been doing a few things wrong so I am hoping to move past the dreaded 200lbs on the scale soon. Been stuck here for 2 years now!
Only 156 days left....starting to feel the pressure! Hope everyone is doing well
