January Goals

December 31, 2013 – the first time I have ever shed tears over my body. I weighed before eating breakfast and am at the heaviest I’ve been, ever. 155 pounds. I took pictures in a sports bra and compression shorts at the box before our daily WOD. I didn’t look at the pictures until I got home and was disgusted saddened. Then, I tried to put on my favorite jeans and they were so tight I could barely breathe (although I was able to button them.) I cried for approximately 30 seconds before I decided crying was pointless and I just had to get serious in 2014. I’ve been doing crossfit 4-5 days a week since September, but I haven’t changed my diet up much, if at all. It’s noticeable. While I’ve gotten stronger, and have more defined muscles in my arms and back, nothing else has changed. I have to make a life change, especially in my diet. I drank my *last* soda last night (Whataburger dr. pepper with a greasy, cheesy patty  melt.) I think sodas are my biggest enemy in this battle, so I can’t give any when it comes to them. Instead of resolutions that I won’t keep, I’m making goals that I can work toward.

January Goals:

Down 5 pounds (or maintain same weight with a loss of inches)
WOD 5x/week (which may mean getting up at 5 for the morning WOD on Wednesdays)
Record every WOD with time/reps and weights for everything
25 pull ups. Every. Single. Day. (in addition to any that we do during a WOD)
Birthday cards. (I used to be good at this, no better time than January to be good again)
Get through January with no soda.
Run 3x/week, even if it’s cold. Schedule those days and keep the schedule.

I think this is a doable list and look forward to pushing myself.  Today I will do measurements and post them with today’s WOD and results. My “before” pictures have to wait until I have something to compare them too.
