My prospects for getting through more of this week with less "diet" work are pretty good, and I managed to get tomorrow's food together fairly quickly. I'm glad it gets easier.
I spent a bit of time at the YMCA today and did a little workout. I'd like to work harder on Tuesdays, on a regular basis, but for now showing up is good enough. Thursdays and Sundays will be full rest.
I am also achieving some sort of balance. I hope to get something down that really works for the year, because I'd like to kick butt this year--in my career, in health, in maintaining sobriety, in family, and most of all in Christ. I can only grow so fast, but I'm willing to try harder. There's a price I'm willing to pay and a limit as to how far I will go, but that stuff changes as I grow. Ultimately I want what God wants for me.
Tomorrow I try John's suggestions for post-CrossFit recovery. It might work wonders instantly, it might just make it easier, or it might take a few times before I notice a difference. I just hope tomorrow isn't as crazy as Monday. My recovery snack is going to be 1 oz. chicken plus a puree of 1 cup broccoli, 2 cups strawberries, and 1/2 cup blackberries. I'm a bit wary of going so carb-heavy but I trust John and Cheryl, and I need to avoid issues like I've been dealing with if it's at all possible. Besides, I didn't get fat eating fruits and veggies.
