It was not pretty today (Saturday). I had to work, so my plan was to go to the 7am WOD, but my daughter had an 8am soccer game and my husband worked until midnight, so I decided that it would not be fair for him to get her ready for soccer, get my son up and dressed, feed them and get to the field on his own. So I missed my workout. Had a good breakfast, then went to work. Usually it is incredibly busy on the weekends and there is barely time to eat, but today it was unusually quiet. Not good for me- I ate all kinds sugar: a reese's peanut butter cup, a bunch of crackers, 1 Russel Stover chocolate, 2 small granola bars. Plus I ate my nice healthy salad that I brought to work. Instead of just getting back to clean eating once I got home, I had the "I will start over tomorrow, so I had better eat all the stuff I really want today..." mentality. I had a lot of walnuts, and some hershey kisses.
For those of you who are reading this, yes I am embarrassed and feel like a slob, but I know that I have to be honest instead of fooling myself and trying to look "perfect" to everybody else. I am not perfect, I look at these awesome athletes at Crossfit Milford and I wonder if they ever struggle with their food. Some days it is so easy and other days not so much....

ReplyDeleteIt's not easy Maria. If it was everyone would do it and it would be the norm. We are FAR from normal. We are always striving to be better. I have tremendous respect for anyone who steps foot in CFM and has the heart and determination to do a WOD no matter their age, race, gender or ability. Though you may be disappointed in yourself because you ate things you weren't proud of don't forget you are human. I snacked on a few things yesterday and ate 1/2 of a pizza and 3 grilled fish tacos today and I'm happy about it. Want to know why? There's one thing I'm positive of...we will both be in that box tomorrow killing ourselves and getting back on track and doing work like only we know how. I'm proud of you! Don't get down on yourself if the wheels come off...just pick right back up where you left off. You're strong and determined and you can do it! Part of you picking up where you left off is working on those inevitable HSPUs!
ReplyDeleteYour doing great Maria keep it up. ..and well said Nitro.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you for being so brave to admit when you fall off and yet get back on immediately! That's a huge issue for me. I always start over on Monday! I'm not sure why but having my mentality can completely put a person back to almost square one. You are so strong that you jump right back on track! I've said it before and I mean it, I look up to you on many levels; your determination, focus, planning, and strength. You so have this!
