Starting Over

Two years. We moved to OKC and I completely fell off the wagon when it came to working out. I gained weight. More of it than I'd like to acknowledge. But starting today, I'm starting over. Well technically last night, Leslie and I did our baseline WOD. But then I had ice cream and an oversized glass of wine to make up for what I'm not going to eat for the next 21 days. 3 weeks. It's totally a doable "diet." I took photos this morning. I'll post those later. But I also weighed. 162. Which is actually 7 pounds down from my highest. I'll take that as an acceptable starting point. If the scale doesn't move but my next set of pictures shows a change, I'll take that too.

So our WOD last night was:

400m run
100 double unders (I did 200 singles)
75 air squats
50 push ups
25 sit ups
10 pull ups (green banded that)
400 m run

I finished in 14:14.

I have a lot of excuses... I work long hours and am exhausted when I get home. Sometimes I don't get a chance to eat during the day at work. Water can be a liability when I'm having to pee all the time during a busy shift.
But I also have a lot of reasons to ignore those excuses. Namely family health history and the fact that I want to be a healthy old lady doing lots of fun stuff with my old man husband. We have a lot of living left to do.

So. I'm following the Christmas Abbott bad ass body diet for the next 21 days. (With the exception of dinners at Leslie's house...but her meals are nutritious and don't really deviate from the plan). And we are doing WODs or running every night, minus nights when I floated at work if the float was disastrous and I don't get off until 9...and have to work the next day. Those are my stipulations. If I don't have to work the next day, I work out, even if it was a stressful day.

Here goes.
