Day 23 - Weight 305.0 lbs. - Don't Stare at the Yo-yo or You'll Get Sick

There I go again. Up goes the weight. I report my weekly column in the Queen Central News tomorrow, so hopefully I weigh less because I love saying I lost weight. Of course I could say it without it actually being true, but that's no fun.

I struggled to avoid CrossFit today. I had a morning cardio workout planned and I arrived after 10 a.m. on purpose, lest I see my pals in the CrossFit room and join them. I don't think I'm ready for five CrossFit WODs a week yet, even if I'm dying to do that. It was hard but I managed... and when I stopped by at the end, after my cardio, I saw the WOD and wished I had taken part. It was good I stayed away. Tomorrow is only a day away.

I am done dealing with the Boilermaker for a few weeks. I can't think about it anymore. Despite my feelings it just isn't what I'm supposed to be focusing on right now. I have work to do. My career and basic day-to-day stuff is the priority. I'm working on my family more, too. I only have a few years before my stepsons walk out for good, and I want to make the most of them.

I pray that I lose weight. I really want to see numbers! I ate carefully this evening just to see if I could drop a little extra water or something. If not, I'll live. I just wanna see weight loss. After a review of this blog to see what my menus have really been like, I am going to try modifying my eating over the next week or so in the hope of stimulating weight loss--in other words, more green veggies and less fruit. We'll see if it happens. It may not be practical.
